Cent’Anni Cigars announced this week it’s official rebrand to Armao Cigars, alongside a strategic transition of production to Tabacalera Segovias de Estelí S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua. This evolution positions the brand for long-term growth while reinforcing its commitment to premium quality, heritage, and craftsmanship. Rooted in Italian American tradition, the rebrand places the Armao family name at the forefront, reflecting a deeper dedication to legacy, identity, and continuity as the company enters its next phase.
“This is about building something timeless that reflects who we are at our core,” said Nick Armao, co-founder. “Our philosophy is centered on connection, trust, and elevating life’s experiences—values that are now fully embedded into the brand.”
“From the beginning, this brand has been about connection—family, community, and shared experiences. This next chapter allows us to elevate every aspect of the brand while staying true to those original values,” co-founder Caitlin Armao added.
The transition to Nicaragua follows more than a year of collaboration between Nick Armao and Arturo “Art” Garcia, Founder & CEO of Tabacalera Segovias de Estelí S.A., one of the industry’s most respected premium cigar manufacturers.
“We are proud to partner with Nick and Caitlin and bring their vision to life here in Estelí,” said Garcia. “This collaboration represents a shared commitment to quality, consistency, and long-term success.”
By aligning production with one of Nicaragua’s premier factories, Armao Cigars ensures enhanced control over quality, consistency, and blend development—delivering a refined, world-class product to retailers and consumers alike. Armao Cigars will officially debut at the PCA Convention & Trade Show 2026, held in New Orleans, Louisiana.
