Most people "THINK" that it originated in cuba but nobody really knows where and when tobacco was first planted, we're sure the first people to cultivate and smoke tobacco were the American Indians (IT DOES NOT SAY NORTH AMERICAN IDIANS AND AMERICA IS VERY BIG). According to history, tobacco was first discovered on the island of Cuba when Christopher Columbus first arrived in 1492. Puerto Rico tobacco corp. was established in 1503!


The fact is that the native indians in the Caribbean use to do a lot of trading among themselves. This is why history CAN'T say that it originated in Cuba. Because there is no proof.
What we do know is that the seed that seeded Cuba also seeded the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico (because native indians traded this product).
The other thing is that if you know about growing tobacco on the caribean you would know about pest and all the crops that are destroyed due to them. What this means is that most of this tobacco have tons of pesticides and/or chemicals. Witch Puerto Ricans DON'T have. Don’t take my word for it. Come down to Puerto Rico and take a tour of the tobacco plantations.



P.S. They don’t distribute in the US because they only produce about 2 million cigars a year (not a lot). Why? Because they are truly HAND ROLLED! And if they start sending free sample then they would have to give free samples to whoever asks for them. Don't you think?

The last think (for now) DON'T TAKE ANYONES WORD. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!

Don’t be afraid to call them and ask all the questions that you may have! They have great customer service, and GREAT SMOKES.

Any questions about them pm me!
Mario, Thanks for the history lesson, With all due respect, who the hell are you? Do you think we don't know where cigars came from? The guys on this board know more than you think, and most probably a ton more than you do. If you had bothered to lurk about a bit before jumping in with both feet, it would have been evident to you. Your post was an insult to the members of this board. Your first post and you are trying to sell cigars for an unknown? Are you in cahoots with Don Collins? Perhaps not, but how do we know? It's kind of fishy that you just happened to show up now. I've learned a lot about board etiquette in the past few months and while I may have defended you a few months back, I realize that you just overstepped your bounds. And just be happy that I answered the post. I think some others on the board would have been less tactful.

Don Collins, You obviously have some cigars left over to sell and you are apparantly quite proud of them. I think it's a good idea to spend whatever your cost will be (probably less than 25 bucks) if you believe in your product. If not, keep making excuses. Just today I donated an $1800 machine to a charity event to publicize my new business, so I am not talking out of my hat. I have done many donations in a past business and have always gotten my money back along with tremendous amounts of favorable press and good will. So it seems as if it would be money well spent, especially if the guys here like them. It may reap you huge rewards, and at the very least put you in higher standings with this and other communities. I think at this point no one will buy or recommend your cigars simply because you seem to be afraid to part with about 25 bucks (cost) worth of your merchandise. I can only surmise that it is because you fear what we may say about them.

Think about it. Prove us wrong. This is a huge opportunity for a win-win situation, and if your product is as good as you say, you WILL reap profits and more.
