Additionally, three generations and two revolutions later, Melanio’s grandson Gilberto found a new place to call home in Nicaragua’s fertile lands. Today Gilberto, along with his family, is one of Nicaragua’s largest growers of Cuban-seed tobacco. They continue to use the same time-tested curing, blending, and rolling methods that built an empire.
