The La Invicta Honduran Panetela is a classic handmade Honduran cigar offering exceptional value and an approachable smoking experience. Crafted in Honduras using quality long-filler tobaccos, this elegant Panetela format delivers a smooth, medium-bodied profile with notes of cedar, toasted nuts, earth and subtle spice.
This is an ideal choice for both newcomers to handmade cigars and experienced smokers seeking a shorter, elegant smoke – perfect when time is tight or when you are only looking for a quick smoke but with all the complexity of a handmade cigar. Great as an everyday cigar, or a brief after-dinner smoke or as an accompaniment to a fine whisky, rum or fortified wine. This is milder than the La Invicta Nicaraguan Panetela.
La Invicta is one of the UK’s most established cigar brands, renowned for delivering excellent quality handmade cigars at accessible prices. Produced using carefully selected tobaccos from leading growing regions, La Invicta cigars offer reliable construction, balanced flavours and exceptional value, making them a favourite among both novice and experienced cigar enthusiasts. The Honduran range also features Churchill, Robusto and Petit Corona cigars.
The La Invicta brand name is owned by Hunters and Frankau, who are the exclusive agents for Habanos S.A. and distribute all their Cuban cigars in the UK. The brand was created in the 1940s when, during World War II, they could not purchase Cuban cigars in US dollars. Instead, Hunters and Frankau created La Invicta cigars, which were then made from Jamaican tobacco to keep the UK supplied during wartime.
Today the cigars are either Honduran or Nicaraguan Puros. The Honduran cigars are hand-rolled at the Plasencia-owned Tabacos De Oriente Factory in Honduras using a blend of the finest leaves sourced locally from Talanga and Jamastran.
The La Invicta Honduran Panatela opens with gentle cedar and woody aromas accompanied by hints of roasted nuts. The palate develops with earthy tobacco notes, light pepper spice and subtle sweetness. The finish is smooth, balanced and clean, leaving lingering notes of cedar and toasted almonds.
The smooth, balanced character of the La Invicta Honduran Panatela pairs particularly well with:
For an indulgent pairing, try alongside a 10-year-old Tawny Port or a smooth Speyside malt whisky from the Fareham Wine Cellar cigar and spirits collection.
