History
A Brief History of Cigars
Ever wonder where the act of smoking a rich, aromatic roll of tobacco started? It’s generally believed that cigars were first invented by the ancient Mayans. Archaeologists discovered Mayan pottery dating back over a millennium that depicts people smoking tobacco leaves. In fact, the word cigar comes from the Mayan word sikar meaning “to smoke rolled tobacco”.
When Christopher Columbus arrived in the new world, he and his men were among the first Europeans to encounter tobacco. The indigenous people of Central America and the Caribbean Islands showed them how to savor and enjoy the fragrant smoke of a mysterious plant. These early explorers then eagerly took up this habit for themselves, even noting it was difficult to stop.
The trend eventually took off back home in Spain and Portugal where the tobacco plant was referred to as a “sacred herb”. Quickly, the craze spread to France by way of the French ambassador to Portugal, Jean Nicot, for whom nicotine is named. This newfound demand led to a wave of colonialism in which the Spanish began cultivating tobacco plants in the Caribbean. As a result, the Spaniards were the first to ever open a cigar factory, which was located on the island of Cuba.
It did not take long for prominent historical figures to adopt the habit of smoking cigars, as it had become a symbol of status and prestige. Cuban cigars became a favorite among Americans and Europeans alike, thanks to the Spanish-led Cuban domination of the industry and their high-quality crops.
In the wake of Cold War conflicts, US president John F. Kennedy imposed an embargo on Cubab in 1962, making any trade with them illegal. However, this was not before he purchased and hoarded over a thousand Cuban cigars for himself. This trade ban still exists today which means cigar-loving citizens of the US have set their sights on other tobacco-producing nations such as Mexico, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. Since this embargo only exists in the USA, you can still buy Cuban cigars in places like the UK and Canada.
