In the early 21st Century, Dunhill Tobacco of London, through House of Edgeworth, launched a range of Charatan Cigars, blended exclusively for the UK Cigar Smoker with a unique blend of Nicaraguan and Indonesian tobaccos. They were an instant success and in a short space of time Charatan became the No1 selling Nicaraguan brand in the UK.

Today under the ownership of Tor Imports Ltd, Charatan is produced by Joya De Nicaragua in Esteli, Nicaragua, in the country’s oldest, most prestigious and original factory.

The unicorn that appears on each box embodies the craft and heritage of Charatan. It is a symbol of myhology, individuality and as the national animal of Scotland – of quintessential Britishness.
​
Each box displays the mythological Unicorn!
​
With Scotland being famed for its love for and long history of myths and legends it is no surprise that a fabled creature such as the unicorn is Scotland’s national animal. The unicorn first appeared on the Scottish royal coat of arms of William I in the 12th Century and latterly when James VI became James I of England and Ireland, he ensured the unicorn appears on the right hand side of the Royal Coat of Arms opposite the national animal of England, the lion.

Charatan is a must stock for every humidor.
