I hadn't until you mentioned them. I was curious about this and here is what I found.

From;

http://cigars.about.com/b/2007/01/15/are-cigars-organic.htm

"Handmade premium cigars consist of 100% tobacco, unlike cigarettes and machine made cigars that may contain paper, preservatives, and/or other additives. Therefore, premium cigars are natural agricultural products, just like apples and oranges. However, also like apples and oranges, most cigars are not certified as being 100% organic. According to a famous online cigar retailer, there is only one 100% certified organic brand of cigars, and that brand is Plasencia Reserva Organic Cigars (Compare Prices). However, since most cigar companies follow at least some of the procedures for growing and processing premium cigar tobacco organically, the majority of premium handmade cigars might possibly be considered semi-organic. Regardless, I have tried several types of organic foods, but I am still undecided if they are really worth the higher prices. You are welcome and encouraged to add your comments to this article, below."

But here is another company that claims to have one;

"Granada is one of The Americas’ oldest cities and is considered the capital of Central America. Settled nearly 500 years ago, the city is nestled between Lake Nicaragua and the Mombacho Volcano. At the base of the volcano, just outside the bustling city, there is a beautiful tobacco field planted in virgin soil. This nutrient rich area is where the tobacco is grown for Verdadero, a brand boasting hearty, 100% organic filler that is triple fermented to perfection."

Fun fact...ALL CIGARS ARE ORGANIC! I'm not to sure if you realize this but tobacco IS A PLANT! If you mean healthy cigars... ... ... You know what, yeah tons of healthy cigars out there, really good for you, in fact smoke them around your pregnant wife, and your todler, then they can have asthma it's super fun to watch your kid grow up struggling to breath every night and wondering why he cant play sports in school. Know how I know its so cool and so fun? Because I was one of those kids, Inhalers are just SOOOOO in. So is drinking in middle schools but what the hey? they gotta learn sometime right?!
