The History
No-one truly knows for sure, when the tobacco plant was first cultivated, there
is however small doubt about where. The native people residing in the North
American continent were unquestionably the first not only to cultivate the
plant, but also to smoking the plant, which probably first came from the Yucatan
spur, Mexico. It was clearly utilized by the Maya of Central America, and when
the Maya civilization was broken up, the scattered clans carried tobacco both
southward into South America, and to North America, where it was allegedly first
used in the traditions of the Mississippi Indians.
It was a different story in Cuba, where the cigar became a crucial countrywide
symbol. Cuban peasants started becoming, tobacco growers, from the 16th century
onward, waging a continued struggle against the huge landholders as exports of
the crop grew. Some of them later , became rent farmers or sharecroppers; others
were forced to search for new lands to farm, building areas like Oriente and
Pinar Del Rio. By the mid-19th century, by which time there was free trade in
tobacco, there were 9,500 plantations, and factories in Havana and other towns
sprang up and cigar production became completely fledged industry. The Export
was generally to the U. S. until tariff limits were put up in 1857. (Cont.

Many of the dispossessed cigar factory owners from Cuba, eg. the Palicio,
Cifuentes, and Menendez families fled abroad, striving to start production up
again, often using the same brand names they had owned in Cuba. As a result,
cigars called Romeo Y Julieta, H. Upmann, and Partagas are made in the Dominican
Republic; La Gloria Cubana in Miami; Punch and Hoyo de Monterrey in Honduras;
and Sancho Panza in Mexico. In the case of Montecruz cigars, the name was barely
modified from the original Montecristo, and they were initially made in the
Canary Islands, though they are now produced in the Dominican Republic. More
than any other nation, the Dominican Republic has profited from the explosion of
American shopper keenness for hand-crafted cigars.
Nearby Jamaica has had its own industry for more than a century and some Central
American states like Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua enjoy traditions of cigar
making that go back much further. Ecuador now produces a good-quality wrapper,
unusually known as Ecuador/Connecticut, and Brazil brings its own unique flavor
and style to the creation of cigars. Further afield, the Indonesian islands of
Java and Sumatra have old links with the cigar makers of the Netherlands,
Germany, and Switzerland, as do the Philippines with Spain. Africa's
contribution comes from Cameroon, in the shape of some of the most sought-after,
rich, dark wrappers in the entire world.
Today, the pure pleasures of the premium cigar are very hot. The Dominican
Republic alone produces just about 1/2 the hand-made cigars sold in the U.S.
Cigar smoking has burgeoned. Celebs, statesmen, industry experts, complicated
men and ladies are seen at dinners and at smoking clubs enjoying luxury cigars.
The cigar is well, and here for good.
