My Cigar Labels

Habanos is city caught in a time warp. It’s such as it would have back when Christopher Columbus first discovered it in 1492. Called correctly “the birthplace of Cuban cigars” Habanos is the only place on the planet where Cuban cigars are handmade and dispensed to the world (except the US!). The first Cuban Cigar was grown and fashioned here hundreds of years ago, and nothing much has changed here at all. It’s still and incredibly beautiful and fascinating place.

Cuban cigars are tightly controlled by a government corporation, and legend has it that back in the bad ol’days when mistakes were made and quality was compromised, lives were lost. It’s not so anymore, but it’s also not hard to see how Cuban cigars got their trademark reputation as the finest cigars in the world. An acute attention to detail from the growers on up to the cigar rollers and packagers leave little room for error. Habanos cigars require careful handling and demand a high level of monitoring for quality.

If you ever have the chance to visit Habanos do so, for it is a trip through history as well as a place to come across perhaps the finest cigars in the world.
