The Ultimate Cuban Collection Sampler - 4 Cigars

The Bolivar brand was created in 1902 and is based today in the Partagas factory which is in the heart of Havana. It is perhaps not surprising that a Habano named after such a powerful figure is blended to match his might. Bolivar is among the strongest, most full bodied of all Habanos. This cigar boasts a smooth, rich, aromatic profile with the subtle spiciness you would expect from a full bodied powerful cigar.

Ramon Allones is one of the big names in the history of Habanos. Founded in 1837, it is one of the oldest brands still in production. The Specially Selected is a spicy and earthy Robusto rich and deeply complex with a good cool easy draw and characteristic dark wrapper. 

Named after William Shakespeare's tragic lovers, the origins of Romeo y Julieta as a Habano date back to 1875. The brand rose to international fame during the early years of the 20th Century under the direction of Don 'Pepin' Rodriguez, a talented promoter, who was amongst the first to recognise the power of the cigar band. During his hey day no less than 20,000 different bands were used in production.

Since 1845 the Robaina family has farmed tobacco continuously on its precious vegas (fields) at Cuchillas de Barbacoa situated in the San Luis district of the Vuelta Abajo tobacco zone. Vegas Robaina cigars were introduced in 1997 as a tribute to Cuban tobacco farmers through the figurehead of Don Alejandro Robaina whose reputation in his day for producing the finest wrapper leaves was legendary. The Famosos are an elegant and manly cigar. Complex sweet and woody flavours. Both draw and construction are excellent.
