                    As early as 1865, Nestor Plasencia's great-grandfather, Don Eduardo Plasencia's family emigrated from the Canary Islands to Vuelta Abajo of Cuba to start growing tobacco leaves, which was followed by three generations. The family moved to Nicaragua in 1965, and through five generations, the company has become one of the world's most recognised and premium cigar brands, producing cigars for 30 different brands, with 8 cigar factories (4 in Nicaragua and 4 in Honduras), a total of 9,000 employees, and an annual production capacity of 40 million cigars, making it the world's largest producer of premium cigar wrappers and tobacco leaves.
