Puro Sabor Festival Returning in January 2023
The Cámara Nicaragüense de Tabacaleros (Nicaragua Tobacco Chamber) has announced that the Puro Sabor festival will be returning, with the organization scheduling the next festival for Jan. 23-27, 2023.
“After being absent for three years, we are very excited to announce that we are once again opening the doors of our industry to receive our guests,” said Manuel Rubio Centeno, president of the Nicaraguan Chamber of Tobacco, via a press release. Centeno, who is also the operations manager of La Gran Fábrica Drew Estate, called the festival a great opportunity for Nicaraguan cigar lovers to met again with the best tobacco manufacturers in the world.
The decision to hold the festival was approved by a unanimous vote of the chamber’s 26 members.
The 2023 Puro Sabor festival will once again begin in the colonial city of Granada, and then move to Estelí for a series of visits to tobacco fields and cigar factories. In addition, factories and farms host lunches, while the evenings are marked by celebratory dinners. Attendees have multiple opportunities to interact with their favorite cigar makers and see the process of a cigar from a seed in the soil to the finished product.
Puro Sabor had been canceled three out of the past four years for various reasons. The 2019 version was canceled due to social unrest, the 2020 festival was held, while the 2021 festival and the 2022 festival was canceled due to COVID-19 and related health concerns.
The organization has not yet announced a date when registration will open.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
