Island Jim is the Honduran brand created by Pittsburgh retailer Jim Robinson, rolled at Oscar Valladares's La Flor de Copán factory. Lines such as Island Jim No. 2, Connecticut No. 2, and Barber Pole extensions reflect a retailer-turned-brand owner model: shop culture, travel, and factory friendship turned into national SKUs.
Keep production geography straight: Island Jim core is Honduras/Oscar; the separate Nick & Jim collab with Nicholas Syris is Costa Rican.
