This old brand, originated in Cuba in the 19th Century, has been on and off the American market for years, but has become a value-priced favorite. It was re-introduced by Altadis USA in late 2003 with the square-pressed maduro version offered in 2005. It offers a medium-bodied taste in the natural version with a Connecticut-seed wrapper and Honduran binder and medium-to-full with the Mexican maduro wrapper and Nicaraguan binder.
