All the
Cuban cigar brands available above are guaranteed authentic
Cuban cigars from Habanos (See our Authenticity
Guarantee).
What is
Habanos? The Habano Denomination of Origin may be applied
to all cigars in which 100 per cent of the tobacco used has been
grown in Cuba.
Likewise,
it is an essential requirement that all cigars manufactured in
Cuba are subjected to numerous quality control checks, both during
the agricultural and curing process, as well as during all stages
of manufacturing in the cigar factory. The same rigorous procedures
are applied to the selection of the appropriate leaves, quality
control, of draw, of the true flavor of each of the cigar brand
names and, finally, the quality of the cigar's appearance and
presentation.
The quality
of the Habanos Cuban cigar is the result of the mystical
union of four elements: soil, varieties of Cuban black tobacco,
climate and the wisdom of our agricultural workers and cigar
makers. Numerous attempts to achieve the standards of an authentic
Cuban cigar in other areas of the world with seeds of Cuban
origin have failed to attain its unequalled quality. These same
elements: the harmonious combination of the sun, the average temperature,
atmospheric humidity, soil and subsoil composition are those which
make "the quality of the Cuban cigar, both in terms of
agriculture and manufacturing, unique to Cuba". Therefore, the
Habanos Cuban cigar trademark printed on the cigar boxes
of cigar brand names, like Cohiba cigars, Montecristo cigars
and Romeo y Julieta cigars, is the guarantee that these cigars
are backed by the Habanos Denomination of Origin Protection.
This is a guarantee of quality and origin that is awarded to only
the best cigars (Hoyo de Monterrey cigars and Punch cigars
for example) manufactured in Cuba under the strictest quality
control measures, with the best leaves selected from the island's
tobacco regions. Brands such as La Gloria Cubana cigars, Ramon
Allones cigars, Trinidad cigars and Partagas cigars are among
this famous stable of puro cigars.
Our website
includes detailed Cuban cigar brand profiles on the detail page
of every cigar we carry. For your interest here though, here follows
a couple of these brand profiles. Starting with a Cuban Cohiba
cigar brand profile:

Cuban Cohiba
cigars hit the Cuban cigar stage in 1966. The Cohiba
cigar brand name would became famous upon registration of
the Cohiba brand in 1969. When it was finally brought to the market,
it was by then the most coveted Cuban cigar in the world.
The origin of Cohiba cigars begins with one of Fidel Castro's
bodyguards introducing Cuba's President to cigars privately made
by Eduardo Ribera - at the time a top roller at the La Corona
cigar factory in Havana, Cuba. The unique blend of tobacco
from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba so impressed Castro
that a high-security cigar factory was set up in El Laguito,
to maintain an exclusive supply for 'El Presidente'. The brand
was officially named Cohiba (a Cuban Taino indian word
for cigar) in 1968 but was restricted to distribution within diplomatic
circles until 1982, when it was made available to VIPs such as
the King of Spain and other heads of state.
The tobaccos
used for Cohiba cigars are quite special. It
is grown at full length in selected plantations in the Vuelta
Abajo region, in the province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba. Production
of these fine Havana cigars began with three sizes, each a personal
favourite of Castro - the Cohiba Lancero, the Cohiba Corona
Especiale and the Cohiba Panetela. The cigars were re-christened
Laguito No.1, No.2 and No.3 - and the first two sizes featured
a unique, tiny pigtail on their cigar caps. In November 1992,
to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of
Cuba (and even more importantly, its cigars), five new sizes known
as the Cohiba Linea 1492 (the six former cigar sizes have
now been renamed the Cohiba Linea Clasica) were launched at a
cigar dinner at Claridge's Hotel in London. Named Cohiba Siglo
(for century) I, II, II, IV and V, i.e. the five centuries since
Columbus landed on Cuban soil.

Partagas
Cuban Cigars Brand Profile:
Introduced in 1901, nearly a century after the death of Simon
Bolivar, the powerful flavour of the Bolivar Cuban cigar
range is almost as widely know as it's namesake, Simon Bolivar
(1783-1830), the celebrated Venezuelan warrior who liberated what
is today Venezuela, Columbia, Peru and Bolivia. The Bolivar
cigar brand was developed by the Jose Rocha Cigar Company
and manufactured at the El Crepusculo cigar factory, but
was later acquired by Menendez, Garcia y Cia cigar manufacturers,
and is now produced at the Partagas cigar factory.
In 1901,
the Rocha company in Havana, Cuba commemorated Bolivar by naming
a new brand of Havana cigars after him, and featuring his
portrait on the label and cigar box. At one time the brand included
the smallest Havana cigar - the Delgado, measuring 1 7/8
by 20 ring gauge.
Today it
is one one of the most sought after Cuban cigar brands.
Bolivar cigars are very well made Cuban cigars.
These fine Havana cigars are known to be strong, with earthy
characteristics, spice notes with a touch of sweet caramel. Bolivar
cigars are well balanced and wonderfully rich.
