About

PAYNE-MASON Cigars in Carlsbad near Poinsettia Park is a women-owned and Latino-owned cigar manufacturer producing 100% hand-rolled cigars from its Avenida Encinas workshop since the late 1990s. Cuban master rollers press each cigar in traditional wooden molds using five- to ten-year aged tobaccos sourced from Central American and Caribbean growing regions, a production method that supplies destination resorts, casinos, and golf clubs nationally and has led to on-site roller presentations at venues like The Chandelier Room Carlsbad. The product line spans seven blends — Reserva Selecta, Habana Unos, Golf Classics, Black Lion, WC53, Habana Estilo Reserve, and Habana Estilo Corona — each available in multiple ring-gauge formats. Custom cigar bands for weddings, corporate events, and private clubs pair branded packaging with the hand-rolled product, a bespoke service that complements the craft beverage pairing culture at spots like Carruth Cellars Tasting Room. A monthly cigar club ships selections sealed in individual glass tubes for humidity retention and travel stability. The manufacturing process uses no machine bunching or short-filler blends, relying exclusively on long-filler whole-leaf construction pressed under weighted wooden mold boards for a minimum 72-hour cycle.
