A Legacy of Excellence

The story of Charatan began in 1863 when Frederick Charatan opened his first tobacco shop on Mansell Street, London. Over the decades, the Charatan family crafted a legacy of fine cigars, culminating in the brand’s collaboration with Dunhill Tobacco of London in the 1990s—making Charatan the #1 Nicaraguan cigar brand in the UK.

Today, Charatan continues to honor this heritage, blending premium tobaccos with precision and care. Designed for the British palate, Charatan cigars feature a subtle mix of Seco, Ligero, and Volado leaves, bound with an Indonesian binder from Besuki and wrapped in shade-grown Java.

A New Era

In 2018, Tor Imports Ltd acquired Charatan and moved production to Joya de Nicaragua, the country’s oldest and most prestigious factory. This allowed Charatan to maintain its unique blend of high-grade tobaccos while offering a premium handmade cigar at an accessible price.

Charatan Colorado – England’s Vibrant Ember

The Charatan Colorado features a naturally oily, reddish-brown Ecuadorian Habano wrapper paired with Nicaraguan binder and fillers. This carefully crafted blend delivers a balanced profile with subtle notes of spice and cedar.

The name “Colorado”—Spanish for “red"—celebrates London’s iconic red symbols, from its telephone boxes and double-decker buses to the Royal Guards and the striking red cross of the Union Jack. Charatan Colorado embodies elegance with a bold, fiery character—an indulgence that captivates the senses.
