MONTECRISTO

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. MONTECRISTO

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. ROMEO Y JULIETA

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.

and later became available to the world market.

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.
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.

Established by Jose Gener in 1865, the name roughly means ‘’valley of
Monterrey,’’ a particularly fertile site in the Vuelta Abajo, which had been
farmed by Gener since at least 1860. The brand offers a lighter flavour and a
wide range of sizes, the largest of which are much celebrated. The Le Hoyo
series cigar was introduced about 1970 and presents a stronger flavour.

introduced in 1901, the powerful flavour of the Bolivar range is almost as
widely known as it’s namesake, Simon Bolivar (1783 - 1830), the celebrated
Venezuelan warrior who liberated all of part of what is today Venezuela,
Columbia, Peru and Bolivia.
The cigar brand was developed by the Jose Rocha Company and
manufactured at the El Crepusculo factory, but was later acquired by
Menendez, Garcia y Cia

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. PARTAGAS
