RELATED INFORMATION
The Cigar Plant is named as such due to its yellow, orange, or red tubular shaped flowers with white and violet tips, resembling a lit cigar. Although native to Mexico and Jamaica, the cigar flower is widely cultivated in Hawaii for lei making. It takes hundreds tiny cylindrical flowers to make one cigar lei.
The stiff yellow/orange flowers come from mangroves that were introduced to Hawaii in 1922. The flowers are gathered from trees that grow at the mouths of brackish water streams near the ocean, and are most plentiful during the late summer through the fall. The lei will keep well for over a week and is still wearable when it is completely dried.
