Bella Dama Cigars is an independent, woman-owned boutique brand founded by Chantel Leavitt as a tribute to her late father, a professional poker player. The lineup features a distinctive poker and card-room theme across releases such as The King, Ace, The Queen, and Flush—rolled at Tabacalera Aragon in Estelí.
Bella Dama represents the personal-story-driven side of the modern boutique boom: a brand built on family memory, creative branding, and partnership with a craft-oriented factory rather than industrial scale. For the map, it connects an emerging founder to Estelí's long tail of smaller rolling operations that keep the ecosystem accessible to new entrants.
