Tubed Havanas Boxes and Packs

FULL FLAVOUR


Simon Bolivar, one of the great romantic figures of the 19th century, liberated much of South America from Spanish rule. In 1901, seventy one years after his death, the Rocha company in Havana commemorated him on their cigars. It is perhaps not surprising that a brand named after such a powerful figure is blended to match his might.

LIGHT TO MEDIUM FLAVOUR


H. Upmann was a banker. He became so besotted with the cigars he received from Cuba that he moved to Havana in 1844 and set up both as a banker and cigar maker. his bank soon closed but his cigars, each box of which still bears his signature, remain a fine example of an elegant light flavoured Havana.

MEDIUM TO FULL FLAVOUR


Introduced in 1935 by the H. Upmann factory, Montecristo appeared first in five sizes discribed by numbers not names. The other sizes like the 'A' and Especiales were added in the early 1970's. Montecristo's distinct flavour delighted cigar smokers so much that it has reigned as the most popular Havana for over two decades.

MEDIUM FLAVOUR


Don Manuel Lopez of J. Valle and Co founded Punch in the 1840's, with the British market in mind where the humorous magazine of the same name was much in vogue. A contented Mr Punch, cigar in hand, remains a feature on the labels of each box of these long - appreciated medium strength cigars.

MEDIUM FLAVOUR
