Belinda

Since mid nineteenth century the art of decorating the boxes of Habanos by printing had an upswing. Ever since, tobacco entrepreneurs managed to obtain increasingly beautiful embellishment details in a sort of stubborn determination finally won by Francisco Menéndez, the Spaniard who created La Belinda brand in 1882.

Although it has history as a much-appreciated Cuban brand started in 1882, the full-flavored Belinda was re-introduced by Cubatabaco as a machine-made cigar, in 1987, aimed primarily at the Eastern European market, with whom Cuba had strong trade relations at the time. This explains the small size of the range, which are totally machine-made, or machine-bunched with a hand-rolled wrapper.
