CUBAN CIGARS

Bolivar, une des grandes figures romantiques du XIXème siècle, débarassa une grande partie de l'Amérique Latine du joug Espagnol. En 1901, soixante-et-onze ans après sa mort, la firme Rocha de La Havane le commémora sur ses bagues. Il n'est sans doute pas étonnant qu'une marque portant le nom d'un personnage aussi puissant, offre des mélanges fortement charpentés.Valeurs sûres du Havane.

In 1902, nearly a century after the death of Simón Bolívar, a Spanish businessman living in Havana paid tribute to the Hero in using his name for a brand of Habanos which is today one of the marks most in demand, especially in Great Britain. It is not surprising then that said cigars are made of leaves whose character symbolizes the brave personality of the Latin American hero.

COHIBA

Marque préférée de Fidel Castro, le Cohiba fut créé en 1960 pour usage diplomatique uniquement. Dès 1982, il était offert au public en trois calibres: Lanceros, Coronas especiales et Panatelas. Trois formats s'ajoutèrent en 1989 pour compléter la Linea Classica: Esplendidos, Robustos et Exquisitos. Les 5 formats de la Linea 1492 virent le jour en 1992 pour commémorer le cing centième anniversaire de la découverte de Cuba et du Havane: Siglo I, II, III, IV et V .

Its name became famous very soon upon registration of the brand in 1969. When it was finally brought to the market, it was by then the most coveted cigar in the world.

The name of this brand is very old: first Cuban settlers used to call the coarse rolled leaves of this solanaceae -lit, while inhaling the smoke through the opposite- by the name of cohiba.

Tobacco for manufacture of Cohiba cigars is quite special. It is grown at full length in certain selected fine plantations in the Vuelta Abajo, in the province of Pinar del Río.

This brand was created at the beginning of the '70s.

El REY DEL MUNDO

En 1882, la manufacture Antonio Allones lança une nouvelle marque de grande qualité et de prix élevé.

The origin of this peculiar brand dates back to 1848 when the Spaniard Antonio Allones set up his own tobacco business in Havana. Only four decades later, in 1882, he made the registration of a cigar of premium quality and rate, under the extravagant name El Rey del Mundo (King of the World). Success came overnight and soon the factory was named after the mark, El Rey del Mundo Cigar Co. This brand name is one of the most popular and coveted Habanos amongst discriminating cigar smokers

It was the Spaniard Don Francisco Fonseca who made the registration of the mark under his surname, in 1907. The factory was set up in several buildings in the capital city, until it was finally established in Quivicán, a quaint small town in the province of Havana.

Since the early years the Fonseca brand became renowned and cherished for the quality and appearance of its cigars. It is the only Habano in the market which is wrapped in very thin and almost transparent silky paper.

FLOR DE CANO

H.UPMANN

H. Upmann était banquier. Envoûté par les cigares qu'il recevait de Cuba, il s'installa à La Havanne en 1844, comme banquier et cigarier. Sa banque périclita rapidement mais ses cigares, dont chaque boîte porte sa signature, restent l'exemple parfait d'un grand Havane .

Cigars destined for experiend smokers, strong and sometime rough to the old tradition of the Havana

On October 15th, 1844, the first accounts were heard of on one of Habanos brands, highly ranked throughout time, whose popularity has far exceeded the expectations dreamed of by its creators, brothers Hermann and August Hupmann.

They were very successful in the last century in Germany where these cigars were served in silver salver. And this is now a most cherished brand in England.

HOYO DE MONTERREY

Dans le village de San Juan y Martinez, en Vuelta Abajo, la grille d'entrée d'une plantation porte l'inscription "Hoyo de Monterray. Jose Gener. 1860", ce qui indique que Sr. Gener cultivait le tabac avant de créer sa propre marque en 1865. La série "Le Hoyo" fut lancée en 1970 pour satisfaire la demande de cigares plus corsés, présentés en cabinets.

Although it keeps its traditional packaging, this mark has undergone deep changes.

Nearly all sizes are usually packed in special sliding cases

MONTECRISTO

Montecristo fut lancé en 1935 par la manufacture H. Upmann, d'abord en cinq formats désignés non par des noms mais par des chiffres. Les autres formats tels que le "A" et les "Especial" s'ajoutèrent au début des années 70. le goût particulier des Montecristo a tellement plu au fumeur de cigares qu'il s'imposa comme le plus populaire des Habanos depuis plus de deux décennies

PARTAGAS

C'est en 1845 que Don Jaime Partagas ouvrit les portes de sa fameuse manufacture à la Industria 520, La Havane. C'est là que ses cigares ont toujours été fabriqués, sauf entre 1987 et 1990, durant la restauration des bâtiments. Cette marque très respectée offre des mélanges corsés.

A Partagas cigar dispels all doubts, but one should beware of imitations. The 8-9-8 cigar is probably the most celebrated. All Partagas sizes are recognized by their fragrance and half-strong flavor and their usually light color wrapper.

QUINTERO

Here is a brand which has always been shadowed by the great Cuban. It enjoys a reputation of offering an excellent value quality/price, but it is not a representative of the nobility of the Havana; it rather reveals a different aspect that some amateurs appreciate at any time

Very rare Cigar

RAFAEL GONZALES
