Fabrica de Tabacos Nica Sueño S.A.

Fabrica de Tabacos Nica Sueño S.A. is the official title for the craft-minded factory owned by Skip Martin and Esteban Disla. This partnership began in 2010, converting the back of Esteban's house into a small gallery, where cigars were made that would eventually become the portfolio of RoMa Craft Tobac.

As RoMa Craft grew from a shop exclusive into a national brand, the small rolling operation needed an appropriate space, realized with the current Nica Sueño facility in Estelí, Nicaragua. While RoMa Craft is a joint venture between Michael Rosales and Skip Martin, Nica Sueño is split fifty-fifty between Martin and Disla, with Disla taking on the role of factory manager.

And while the operation has now expanded to include 67 employees (with 12 pairs of rollers), the craft philosophy remains, not allowing production to outpace demand in order to preserve the utmost standards that Martin and Disla demand.
