Cuba is the cradle of the cigar world, it was after all the Taino Indians who Columbus’s men saw smoking “Cohibas” (the traditional name for a cigar). Tobacco was crudely rolled into a tube and smoked for religious and relaxation purposes. Over the coming years at the start of the colonisation of the Americas, tobacco was sent back to Europe. The Spanish began importing tobacco as Cigars and also Snuff.

Over the coming century’s cultivation, curing and rolling cigars became an essential part of the Cuba trade and the cigar industry was born. Investment from European and American cigar and tobacco merchants saw the number of cigars exported for the small Caribbean grow and grow.

This sampler pack contains 5 hand rolled cigars, every aspect of their production and cultivation is done by hand and using traditional methods. Every leaf is handpicked only when it is ready and then goes through a long process of curing, fermenting and finally aging before being rolled. We have selected cigars within this pack to offer a snap shot of the differing tastes that can be obtained through skilful blending of different leaves.

Each cigar is packaged in a cedar lined, aluminium tube. Keeping the cigars fresh for upto 3 months, making this pack the ideal Gift for cigar smokers.
