Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, Partagás, H. Upmann and Hoyo de Monterrey are among the most famous Havana cigar brands. Each has its own history, house style and signature vitolas.

What makes a cigar Cuban?

A Cuban cigar (or Habano) is made in Cuba from tobacco grown in Cuba and rolled entirely by hand. Habanos carry a protected denomination of origin, and much of the finest leaf comes from the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Río.

What is a vitola?

A vitola is a cigar’s size and shape. Every Cuban cigar has a factory name (vitola de galera) and a commercial name (vitola de salida): the Montecristo No. 2, for example, is a Pirámide, a tapered torpedo shape.

How strong are Cuban cigars?

Strength varies by brand and size. Romeo y Julieta and H. Upmann are generally considered mild to medium, while Partagás and Cohiba are known for a fuller, richer profile.

Heritage

The heritage of Havana cigars

Cuban cigar making grew from tobacco traditions that predate European arrival, and by the nineteenth century Havana's factories had become known around the world. Much of the character associated with Cuban cigars is credited to the growing regions of western Cuba, above all Vuelta Abajo in Pinar del Río, and to the hand-rolling skills passed between generations of torcedores.

Our guide traces that story: the families who founded the classic marques, the factory sizes known as vitolas, and the long process that turns a leaf into a finished cigar.
