HVC
HVC, standing for Havana City, is a cigar brand created by Cuban-born Reinier Lorenzo and produced in Nicaragua. Its factory, Fábrica de Tabacos HVC S.A., is located in Estelí. The house offers a wide range of lines, including Hot Cake, La Rosa 520, Serie A and HVC 500 Years Anniversary, in varied vitolas and strengths.
Historia
Reinier Lorenzo founded the brand in 2011, after settling in the United States, with the aim of connecting his cigars to Cuba, its history and his memories of Havana. For several years, HVC cigars were made in third-party factories, notably TABSA, associated with Aganorsa Leaf. In 2022, Lorenzo opened his own factory in Estelí, where the first cigar produced was the HVC Selección No. 1. In 2019, the HVC 500 Years Anniversary line debuted to mark the five hundredth anniversary of the founding of Havana. In 2026, a first Lancero was added to that range.
