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.
