Brands of Cigars

Cuba is the very place where Europeans discovered tobacco, and still produces the best tobacco and the most famous cigars. cohiba is the most popular cigar in Cuba, and is always at the top of Cigar Aficionado's CIGARTP[s rankings. cohiba was born in Havana in 1966, and was initially only given to presidents and diplomatic envoys as a gift from the government. After 1982, this brand of cigars became commercially available and people could buy it with authorization. The first step in making a high quality cigar is to select a good variety of tobacco and grow it in the right place. Tobacco leaves are picked, dried, fermented, flattened and stored, and then selected for cigar making, which takes about three years and more than 80 procedures.

The outer and inner layers of tobacco used for rolling cigars are different. The outer layer of tobacco should be selected from varieties with thin leaves, large amounts of oil and a glossy sheen, so that the cigar's appearance will be beautiful and burn well. The inner layer of the cigar is divided into ligero, seco and volado, which are the parts that produce intoxication, aroma and combustion, respectively. Ligero is the soul of the cigar, and 50% of the cigar's flavor depends on it.

Different parts of the tobacco often come from different origins. Although Cohiba is the best Cuban cigar, the cigar that Castro smokes is not a Cohiba, except that it is also made in the same factory, but the leaves are handpicked by Mr. Arellino Larry, fermented separately, and stored in a separate place, and the cigar rollers work under special protection, so that it is a "cigar of cigars". "Cohiba's six most famous cigar varieties are Lanceros, Espléndido, Corona Especial, Robusto Exquisito, and Panetela. Brazilian cigars have the best reputation in Europe, with Kaufmanns Dannemann Tobacco (Kaufmanns Dannemann) being the most popular. Kaufmanns Dannemann) cigars. In just a few decades, Dannemann has become the largest Brazilian Bahia Asia's tobacco business, but also one of the world's most famous Brazilian cigar buyers and sellers, and has now become a giant in the cigar world, in Brazil, Europe, Indonesia and Africa, Central America and other places have their own cigar production factories, marketing business is more all over the world.

The founder of Dannemann Cigars was a businessman of German descent, Dannemann, who came to Brazil in the second half of the 19th century and then built his business empire here for the rest of his life. in 1873, Dannemann ambitiously established Dannemann Tobacco Company.

The soil and rain of the Brazilian state of Bahia have nurtured the mellow flavor of Dannemann's cigars, and countless legends in the history of Dannemann's development have added to the luster of this world-renowned brand. As early as 1883, the King of Brazil, Dom Pedro, went on a personal tour and named Dannemann the "Royal Cigar Maker". 1889, Dannemann became the mayor of S?o Felice, and it was he who single-handedly built Brazil's first railroad drawbridge. 1950, the Brazilian cigar manufacturing industry became increasingly competitive but the tobacco farmers preferred to sell their cigars to the local market. After 1950, the cigar industry in Brazil became increasingly competitive, but the farmers who grew the tobacco were willing to hand it over to Dannemann because they were happy to see their tobacco sold around the world.

Dannemann Tobacco, in addition to producing top quality cigars, has also developed a unique short-filler mechanism that rivals the best cigars, a small, inexpensive cigar that caters to a wider range of cigar enthusiasts. Dannemann cigars are divided into two categories: those made with Brazilian wrapper tobaccos and those made with Sumatran wrapper tobaccos. It is this outermost layer of wrapper tobacco that establishes the unique flavor of the cigar. Brazilian wrapper tobaccos are stronger in color and flavor, and maintain a mellow flavor. The wrapper tobacco from Sumatra is softer and softer, and the tobacco is lighter and more flavorful, with a slightly nutty taste.

Danaman's little cigars are different from other inexpensive mechanism cigars. The wrapper of this short-wicked leaf cigar is the same as a hand-rolled cigar, and instead of paper, which makes it taboo, the inside is a material made from specially crushed tobacco leaves and a vegetable-based binder. Mechanical cigars are generally tried by first-timers and working cigar enthusiasts, but Dannemann's little cigars have become a real alternative to the big ones with a variety of new and funky varieties. For example, Dannemann's Sweet is a combination of noble aromatic tobacco and another traditional pleasure, cognac. This moody blend has made it popular everywhere.

Cigar smokers understand that a cigar is valuable not only for its flavor, but also for the way it makes you feel about life. Dannemann's wide range of products are popular among cigar enthusiasts for their pure flavor. Pana lito is the smallest cigar in Dannemann's range and is suitable for any occasion; Espada has a strong flavor and is most suitable for enjoying after dinner; Vera Cruz is the largest of Dannemann's cigars and is made from the finest and largest tobaccos; it has an elegant and mellow odor and is packaged in an elegant way that will last a long time, so that if it is to be enjoyed after a meal, it will be unrivaled. The packaging is elegant and will last a long time, making it an excellent after-dinner treat. Dannemann's other ranges, such as Minor Con Filtro, Speciale, Imperiale ........... are also highly acclaimed for their distinctive flavors. Cuban cigar roller José Castellar was awarded the Guinness World Records certificate on June 6 for rolling a 45.38-meter-long cigar. This is his fourth record for the world's longest cigar. Castelar has rolled cigars of 11.04 meters, 14.8 meters and 20.41 meters, setting Guinness World Records each time. Castelar, now in his 60s, flirted with the idea of rolling another 10,000-meter cigar.

Castelar, who has been learning his trade since the age of 14, reportedly rolls cigarettes with great skill and has a clientele that includes Saudi princes and other celebrities. The record-breaking 45.38-meter-long cigar was made by him in 2001 and has only just been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records agency.On April 25, 2011, José Castelar was in the capital city of Havana to make a 70-meter-long cigar in an effort to break the Guinness record for a 45-meter-long cigar. According to the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph, a tourist noticed that in a 1948 photograph of the famous British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Churchill's hand is posed in the shape of a "V" symbolizing victory, while a cigar is dangling from the corner of his mouth. A copy of the photo used to hang at the entrance of a museum in London, but the cigar disappeared. It is not known who "lost" the cigar, as the museum and members of the Churchill family have said they have not tampered with the picture.

Historical figure and former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was a cigar smoker and is considered an iconic symbol of the man as he is pictured in almost all historical images smoking a cigar. In this photo outside the museum, Churchill makes a victory gesture while smoking a cigar. In other exhibits inside the museum, however, photos of Churchill holding a cigarette are intact.

It is said that the total length of cigars smoked by Churchill in his lifetime was 46km, and the total weight of cigars smoked was 3,000kg, making him the world's Guinness record holder for cigar smoking. The British media joked that anti-smoking groups may have taken down posters in the middle of the night and used PS to fix the pictures, forcing historical figures to quit smoking, which is a very new and effective method to better urge people to quit smoking. Cuban "cigar king" Alejandro Rovaina "On April 17, 2010, Alejandro Rovaina, the Cuban "cigar king" who had just celebrated his 91st birthday on March 20, passed away at his home near Pinar del Río. Rovaina was considered a legend in the Cuban cigar industry and was the only tobacco grower to have a cigar named after him.

Influenced by his family from an early age

Rovaina was born on March 20, 1919 . In an interview with the e-magazine Contemporary Cuba during his lifetime, he said, "I was born a tobacco farmer."

Rovaina was part of a family that had been growing tobacco since 1845. Influenced by his family, he developed an interest in tobacco at an early age; at age 9, Rovaina secretly smoked his father's cigars, and at age 10, he followed his family into the fields to work.

Life was easygoing

Talking about the secret to success, Rovaina said it was a combination of responsibility and hard work.

The cigars from Rovaina's family farm grew in popularity and he became the object of fashion and trends, with countless media inviting him for interviews and even pop stars asking for his autograph.

Reuters quoted Hernandez, a close friend of Rovaina's, as saying that over the years, cigar enthusiasts from all over the world have visited Rovaina's farm. Until he became seriously ill, he would invite unknown visitors to his home to sit and talk with them.

"He once told me he was a millionaire because he had a million friends around the world. He had a big heart and could treat everyone equally." Hernandez said.

Self-proclaimed humble farmer

Rovaina didn't care about fame and fortune, and once said, "If my work puts me in the ranks of the most elegant men, that's normal. When I was young, I didn't even have the money to take a picture... Honestly, I feel most relaxed when I'm with simple people."

"I want to live to 120 because I have a big family and so many friends, so I want to live a little longer and see how everyone has changed."

In recent years, Rowayna has passed on tobacco growing methods to his children. Asked what he hopes to be remembered as, Rovaina has said, "I am who I am, a humble farmer." Cigars, like any other natural product, need careful care. They should be stored in an environment with the right temperature and humidity, 16°C-20°C and 65%-70% relative humidity being ideal, but this can be difficult to achieve, especially in a room with air conditioning or central heating. But at the very least you should keep your cigars in an airtight cupboard or box, away from heat sources, preferably in the coolest part of your home. Remember to store the cigars with the box; cedar wood boxes are good for cigar preservation. For preservation, place a damp sponge in the cabinet or sprinkle some water in a plastic bag and then place the entire box of cigars in it to prevent the water from evaporating. If you decide to place a wet sponge or a glass of water in the bag to regulate humidity, remember not to get too close to the cigars, and neither the plastic bag nor the box must be sealed to allow for air circulation.

You should purchase a small humidor from a cigar merchant, which can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the size of a pillbox to a thin plastic strip. Remove one or two cigars to make room, place the humidor in the humidor, and place a damp sponge or chalk in the humidor to moisturize it (be careful to check it once a month so the sponge doesn't dry out). The same applies to using metal tubes to store your cigars.

Many importers and cigar dealers use a thick, sealable plastic bag to send cigars to their main customers. This is a very useful method, especially when traveling, and can be accomplished by placing a damp sponge or sprinkling a little water inside the bag and placing the box in the bag.

Cigars kept in warm climates can harbor a number of bugs, especially tobacco worms. Warm environments tend to hatch bug eggs, so never store cigars where the sun shines or the sea breeze blows. When storing at low temperatures, the humidity should be raised accordingly.

Humidors are usually made of walnut, mahogany, rosewood and other woods (or plexiglass, of course), and come in a variety of shapes and prices. If you smoke a lot of cigars, it's worth it. When buying a humidor, make sure that the heavy lid closes tightly and that there is a hygrometer inside the humidor to measure humidity. The hygrometer only measures humidity, not temperature, so you'll need to find an empty space in the humidor for a thermometer. A compartment in the humidor is even better, as it allows you to store different sized cigars separately as well as switching their positions. Humidors range in price from $200 to $2,000, but part of the value of a very high-end humidor is its decorative features. Queen Elizabeth's nephew and box artisan, Wycant Linle, for example, offers a number of beautiful, delicate, handmade humidors starting at $2,000 through Dunhill. In fact, a Plexiglas humidor retailing for less than $200 will suffice. There are many ineffective or difficult-to-use moisturizers on the market, so shop carefully.

For travelers, a wooden or leather humidor is best. Davidoff was the first to market with a line of briefcases with compartments for cigars and a humidor. Nowadays, there are also many pocket humidors on the market, with leather being the best. The most convenient are the "telescope" type hard cases that can be pulled open to hold large or small cigars. Some pocket humidors even come with mini humidifiers. If you don't need any of these, there are also a wide variety of accessories on the market, such as brass, silver or gold-encrusted cigar savers, luxury lighters and silver matchboxes. Oscar Basulto, chairman of the organizing committee for the Havana Cigar Festival, said Jan. 24 that more than 1,000 cigar enthusiasts and professionals have confirmed their attendance ahead of the 13th Havana Cigar Show, which will be held Feb. 21-25, and that the festival will be held in the city of Havana.

Basulto said the event, organized by the Havana Group and the Tabacuba enterprise group, makes every effort to pay tribute to the famous cigar brands "The Count of Monte Cristo," "Patasja" and "Uppermann". Upperman".
