Island Jim is a Honduran cigar brand created by Pittsburgh retailer "Island Jim" Robinson and rolled at La Flor de Copán through a long-standing partnership with Oscar Valladares. Robinson—nicknamed "Island Jim" by Eddie Ortega for his tropical shirts and Key West days—also launched Leaf by Oscar as a house cigar that helped establish Valladares's Danlí factory.

Core lines such as Island Jim No. 2, Connecticut No. 2, and Barber Pole deliver approachable Honduran blends with the same candela-forward factory culture as Leaf by Oscar. For the map, Island Jim is a distinct boutique brand node—not a sub-line of Oscar Valladares—reflecting Robinson's ownership while manufacturing flows through Valladares's Honduran operation.
