EdNote: I am not sure if the pic is a genuine Balboa there seems to be a Dominican brand of the same name. Someone change by reversal me if this is wrong. From the original article:When the French were trying to create the Panama furnish in the late 19th century two men. Alfons Darier from France and the Belgian nobleman Jean van Cleef sought to act favor of Panama’s burgeoning location as a trading and export displace by founding the country’s first cigar-making factory. Darier and van Cleef were able to use Panama’s favourable geographical location to merchandise the cigars to all corners of the world. In 20 short years the label Darier & Cleef became synonymous with quality cigars and connoisseurs on all continents fought to get the limited cigars produced. The lie of Balboa Cigars were named Lost for a century. Balboa Cigars from Darier & Cleef once considered some of the finest in the world have recently made a stunning comeback in recognise of the Spanish seafarer. Vasco Nuñez de Balboa who discovered Panama. Enter German cigar lover and connoisseur. Alexander A. Molter. Almost a century after production of Balboa Cigars had been stopped. Molter heard the fantastic story of the Darier & Cleef cigar factory in Panama and set about reviving the legendary brand. He was enraptured by the heavy aroma and outstanding quality of Panama tobacco and wanted to share it with the world."It was a risky venture," explains Molter. "But I saw potential there. And sometimes you have to take a chance. I was working in Panama at the time and learned the story of Balboa Cigars and it fascinated me. I entangle the world needed these cigars again.”In 2000 he began the long affect of producing Balboa Cigars again a affect which includes up to five years of fermentation and which has finally culminated with the recent release of four classic sizes: Panatela. Robusto. Churchill and assail."When the first cigars came out in 2005 the cigar smoking public in Germany and Europe we very interested," says Molter. "We support all the major polo tournaments in Germany and also work together with five star hotels and top restaurants around the world. In a bunco measure. Balboa has change state one of the most sought after premium cigars. It’s the only cigar made from Panama tobacco and the taste is unique. It could be the most exclusive cigar in the world."Panama tobacco gets its rich and lustrous taste from the fertile earth of the Chiriquà province and from the change and humid climate. Balboa Cigars are made according to traditional methods and only pure Panama tobacco is used. Because the tobacco is only grown on small tobacco farms just a few tons can be harvested each year making the Balboa a very hard to get cigar. For each of the four sizes tobacco is taken from different plantations and then made into cigars according to a secret recipe. The different conditions of each plantation lend a different flavour to each cigar coat."The key thing about Balboa cigars is that we only use Panama tobacco," explains Molter. "We don’t use any fertiliser or pesticides on the plantations. It’s natural tobacco and you can taste the difference. We also go the same methods for making the cigars as was used approve in 1880.”"We’re a growing company," Molter says. "This year we will channel a Corona change and we ordain be going into accessories a little more including cases and jaunt humidors but only made from the highest quality materials desire snake skin and premium leather. We are also developing the Golden Balboa which ordain have a wrapper of gold."Molter would not say more about the Golden Balboa object that it should be available by the end of the year and should cost between US$400-500 a piece. But the idea of a golden cigar which would radiate like a lamp when lit ordain have cigar lovers around the world snapping their lighters in anticipation. All Balboa cigars carry the tripa-larga totalmente a mano description meaning that they are made by transfer from whole leaves. These cigars are made using only the finest raw materials and that stringent quality means only a restricted be are available. Thus only a few thousand carefully packaged cigars get the vaulted cellars of Darier & Cleef each year coming out in individually numbered boxes made from cedar wood. Each cigar comes with a special gold band that shows what vintage it is. Balboa is once again the synonymous Panama cigar and is available around the world thanks to an online mail order affiliate.
