Cigaragua &#8211; a unique cigar store selling only handmade cigars from Nicaragua &#8211; welcomed worldwide guests with a packed launch party in Amsterdam. The store was the brainchild of Sasja Van Horssen, who already runs several cigar stores in The Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;Nicaraguan cigars are the best cigars in the world,&#8220; he told Cigar Journal at the launch. &#8222;I&#8217;ve known this for a long time and it&#8217;s time everyone else knew it. Now they can judge for themselves.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Brian Shapiro of Oliva shares van Horssen&#8217;s opinion. &#8222;We don&#8217;t forget that all our cigars have a little bit of Cuba in them, thanks to the skills of the cigar makers,&#8220; he told a packed store on launch night. &#8222;But I&#8217;m here to tell you that there&#8217;s a new Sheriff in town. It&#8217;s the Nicaraguan cigar.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Representatives from Oliva, Padron, Joya de Nicaragua, Plascencia and CRE cigars were all present to admire Cigaragua&#8217;s huge walk in humidor and tasting lounge.<br \/>\nYou can read a full report on the new store and its cigars in the first Cigar Journal edition of 2017.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Cigaragua<\/h3>\n<p>Van Baerlestraat 56H<br \/>\n1071 BA<br \/>\nAmsterdam<br \/>\nOpen 7 days per week from 10.00 till 21.00<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_13540\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13540\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-store-front.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Cigaragua\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-store-front.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-store-front-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-store-front-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-13540\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Cigaragua<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_13539\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13539\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-nicaragua.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Cigaragua\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-nicaragua.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-nicaragua-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-nicaragua-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-13539\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Cigaragua<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_13541\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13541\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-nicaragua-entrance.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Cigaragua\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-nicaragua-entrance.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-nicaragua-entrance-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-shop-amsterdam-nicaragua-entrance-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-13541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Cigaragua<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_13542\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13542\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13542\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-store-amsterdam.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Cigaragua\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-store-amsterdam.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-store-amsterdam-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-cigar-store-amsterdam-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-13542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Cigaragua<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_13538\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13538\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-amsterdam-cigar-shop-lounge.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Cigaragua\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-amsterdam-cigar-shop-lounge.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-amsterdam-cigar-shop-lounge-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cigaragua-amsterdam-cigar-shop-lounge-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-13538\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Cigaragua<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cigaragua &#8211;
