Made in USA cigars

[T.G]

John Hay cigars. Their Diplomat, Cadet, Panatella and Swagger lines are made in the US with US grown tobacco. They are machine made, but they are all-long filler, no scraps or homogenized products. Their machines are pretty neat too, they are probably around 120 years old now, nothing like the modern cigar rolling machines, they have to be fed and operated by hand. The owners, Dave and Lauren are really great people too.

Interesting site, but when I went into the shop it was quite confusing what are the 100% USA cigars in the sizes mentioned earlier about the brand. Made it difficult to order what they described.

In general, US cigar smokers are patriotic and selling them a 100% USA hand made product is an easier task IMO. Consumers need to be educated that this exists.

All of the cigars in the 4 lines I mentioned are US tobacco. The handrolled cigars are not. It's pretty clearly indicated on the website. I don't know about their new B&M shop though. Was Dave or Lauren at the shop when you were there?

They do sound interesting and I like the rough figurado shape of the Cadet.
I might try acquire some to try!

Do you think they would have a US 'typicity" and express the "terroir"?

I also found the hand rolled cigars a curve ball on the website, as they are not US tobaccos. The ones Adam mentioned however, are.

Might need to check deeper into this. Looks pretty neat. Wouldn't mind helping them out.
