| J.L. Salazar y Hermanos
Since
1810 the Salazar family lived in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba.
This region of Cuba is celebrated for growing the Island’s
finest tobacco. The family almost immediately began
to work the beautiful tobacco fields. Tradition led
their future generations to harvest tobacco, and eventually
buying land and establishing their own farms. The four
Salazar brothers worked their fields together.
They gained prominence throughout Cuba for growing and
harvesting the finest tobacco in the region. All four
brothers built their homes on the farm and made harvesting
Cuba’s best tobacco their life’s work.
At
12 noon every day, the four Salazar brothers would meet
in the porch of elder brother Mario’s house. Mario
would unroll his burlap bag and open it. Inside were
the finest tobacco leaves of the farm’s harvest.
The perfectly cured leaves were exquisite, and were
the envy of the other tobacco farmers. The burlap bag
would be passed around and each brother would choose
the tobacco leaves for their cigars. Each would then
hand roll their own cigars. They would each only roll
enough cigars for the day’s smoke. While each
brother preferred a different cigar size, the blend
would always be the same for all four brothers. The
blend became the talk of the region. Following old Cuban
tradition, the Salazar brothers would share their prized
SALAZAR cigars with the other tobacco growers and cigar
makers. The word about these magnificent tasting cigars
and their special blend of tobacco leaves spread quickly
and eventually Cigar connoisseurs throughout Cuba would
travel across the Island for just a handful of these
exquisite SALAZAR cigars. Made in small batches from
the farms finest tobacco leaves, they were always in
short supply and never exported out of Cuba.
Mario’s
sons, Jorge L. Salazar and brothers Mario and Max, have
continued the family’s traditions. When they left
Cuba they carried with them the secret special Salazar
blend of tobacco leaves. Now they are making those same
cigars in Nicaragua. J.L. Salazar y Hermanos Cabinet
