Description
Island Jim is certainly one of the most unique offerings from this renowned cigar maker. To begin with, the Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co., is located in Danli, Honduras beginning operations in 2012. The Factory was founded by Oscar Valladares, his brother Hector Valladares and Bayron Duarte. Since its inception, Oscar cigars have become more popular year after year with newcomers and seasoned smokers alike.
Island Jim comes in two two blends. With attention to detail, each one yields a very flavorful medium bodied smoking experience. Both contain vintage Honduran fillers and binder leaves. It’s the choice of wrappers that make things very interesting. Pick the Nicaraguan Jalapa one and you’ll taste that Nicaraguan signature of underlying strength. Choose the San Andres version and you get a Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf around the foot. How’s that for complexity! No doubt, any Island Jim you choose is a top pick. And either one is perfect anytime of the day for all smokers.
To sum up, both editions of Island Jim are produced in 6×52 torpedo size cigars. They come in beautifully ornate boxes of 21.

Just looking at this cigar makes you want to try it! From the triple shade end cap area complete with a pencil eraser shaped tip to the shortened foot wrapper combined with Jim’s caricature on the band, this odd stick looks like fun…..and it is! Beneath all the bells and whistles is a nicely complex mild to mellow bodied smoke with pleasant notes of natural sweet tobacco, iced tea, cocoa and just a touch of spice.
