Charatan London
A premium, hand-rolled, cigar brand produced in Nicaragua for the British palate.
The Charatan story began in 1863 when Frederick Charatan opened a tobacco shop in Mansell Street, London. There are many stories to tell: from the Charatan family's involvement until 1960 to the exclusive, highly popular cigars produced by Dunhill Tobacco of London in the '90's that made Charatan cigars the #1 Nicaraguan brand in the UK.
Over 150 years later the story continues.
Four years ago, Tor Imports Ltd acquired Charatan from Dunhill Tobacco of London with the ambition of improving the product offering and reinvigorating the brand.
In 2018 we took the first step and transferred the production of Charatan cigars to Joya De Nicaragua; the country's oldest and most prestigious factory. This allowed us to maintain the unique blend of high-grade tobaccos and ensured we could offer a premium handmade cigar at an affordable price.
Now it is time for the next step in the Charatan story with a makeover that reflects the ambition and intention of Tor Imports Ltd as the brand owner.
As we enter the Roaring Twenties, we are giving Charatan a new look that combines legacy and mythology with a bright future for the brand.
The dancing unicorn is a distinctly British symbol of individuality while the azure and white band reminds us of Nicaragua. This combination of Nicaraguan cigar making and British heritage is unique to Charatan and has been at the heart of the brand for over one and a half centuries.
Of course, our distinctive and popular blend remains unchanged and Charatan cigars continue to be exclusively tailored to the tastes of the discerning British aficionado.

Discover Premium Cigars from Cuba and the New World
For many cigar lovers, the journey begins with the legendary Cuban cigars. Brands such as Cohiba, Montecristo, Partagás and Hoyo de Monterrey have built their reputation over generations and remain some of the most sought-after cigars in the world. Their distinctive character, often defined by notes of cedar, earth and subtle spice, is what many aficionados think of when they imagine a classic cigar.
Alongside Cuba, the modern cigar world has expanded dramatically through the rise of New World cigars. Exceptional cigars are now produced in countries such as Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Honduras, where master blenders create bold, complex blends using carefully aged tobaccos. Brands such as Davidoff, Padrón, Plasencia and Arturo Fuente have helped redefine what premium cigars can be, offering everything from creamy and elegant smokes to rich, full-bodied blends.
At The Smoking Jacket, we bring together a curated selection of both Cuban and New World cigars, making it easy to buy cigars online in the UK with confidence.
