COHIBA
In 1492, during Columbus’ first voyage to the “new world”, he visited the
island of Cuba. His sailors were introduced to “Cohíba” by the island
natives, a bunch of dried leaves that were smoked in a pipe called a
“Tobacco”. In 1963 Cohiba started out as a Fuma (a cigar rolled by a
torcedor for his own use) that was offered to Fidel Castro. It immediately
became Fidel’s favourite. The cigar brand remained unnamed until 1966,
when it was officially named Cohiba. In 1969 the three cigars were given
commercial names and the packaging and band designs finalised.

The most famous of the many famous Havana brands started only in 1935
as a new brand from Menendez, Garcia y Cia., then the owners of the H.
Upmann brand. The name is reported to have been inspired by Alexandre
Dumas' 1844 novel Le Comte de Montecristo. With a strong marketing
effort from Alfred Dunhill of London, this brand became the most popular of
all Havana exports.

Founded in 1873, the Romeo Y Julieta brand once printed over 2,000 cigar
bands! The "Romeos" are one of the most well-known and popular of all of
the Havana brands. Over 40 shapes and sizes are produced under this brand,
some of which are considered the very best in their size. Romeo y Julieta
cigars have won gold medals worldwide for both taste and quality.
As famous a brand as there is in the world of cigars, the H. Upmann brand
dates back to 1844, when Herman Upmann, a German banker, began using
specially imprinted boxes of cigars as promotional items for his banking firm.
The combination proved successful, so the H. Upmann brand was born and
continues to this day.

Here is one of the few Havana brands which is offered only in handmade
styles, started in 1876 by Juan Lopez Diaz. The range of sizes is limited, but
the workmanship is first-rate and the flavour is considered to be medium to
strong, with light and almost aromatic overtones. A sampling of this cigar
may develop into a long term love for it.

There actually was a Ramon Allones, who developed this brand way back in
1837. Originally from Spain, Allones (owner of the La Eminencia factory) was
reportedly the first to employ bright, lithographed labels on his boxes, to
help set his brand apart. Prior to nationalisation, this lighter-bodied brand
was owned by Cifuentes, Pego y Cia., also the owners of Partagas.

This brand whose name means "The King of the World" was developed in
1848 and under the direction of Antonio Allones, it was celebrated as one of
the great Havana brands. Well known for it's dark and oily wrappers, it was
one of the most expensive Havanas available in the middle of the 20th
century. The El Rey del Mundo factory still produces this brand and
numerous others cigars under the name Lazaro Pena today in a wide variety
of models that are considered to be light in strength.
Established in 1840 and intended for the British market – where a comic
book featuring a character named “Mr. Punch” was in fashion – Don
Manuel López, owner of the J. Valle y Cía, established the Punch cigar brand.
The comedian Mr. Punch, who wore an unmistakably sly smile and who
always had a cigar in his hand, still adorns the box decoration of these
outstanding Cuban cigars.

Branded in 1845 by Don Jaime Partagás, Partagás is one of the oldest and
most renowned of all Cuban cigar brands. The brand is produced in huge
quantities in many varieties; being one of the truly great old Havana brands
the demand for Partagas cigars continues to outweigh the supply of the
cigars. As the Partagás brand is consistently outstanding, most Partagas
cigars are relatively expensive, particularly the most well known and sought
after Partagás cigar, the Lusitania. Partagás cigars won gold medals in at
least 3 international expositions held in Paris in the years 1867, 1878 and
1898. Also keep your eye and cutter on the 8-9-8 varnish, another
outstanding Partagás creation.
