Recent research done by Deschodt and Morane on the early 1960s have produced a different version of the history of Cohiba, which makes no reference to Che Guevara. According to them, the new authorities that came into power after the revolution regarded the famous national cigar brands – whose owners had skipped the country – as relics of the past, luxuries for the rich (the ordinary people smoked locally produced roll-ups), with the result that for a period of time cigar production fell into stagnation and only one brand of Havana cigars, Siboney, was made. But, after a while, good sense returned and realizing the pointlessness of adopting such a hard line, the new authorities turned their attention back to cigars.
Looks like these could actually be legit. Also it turns out Siboney is a real Cuban brand and it looks like recently Alec Bradley cigars has started to produce Siboney for other markets.
This may actually be something of jelly-ness.
I edited my post but yeah, these could be legit. That would explain the yellow cello. I also did some more research and it looks if not only AB is making some Siboney stuff but also My Father. weirdness.
According to Fidel Castro, the Siboney brand never happened but he's dead and a liar so who the hell knows.
so we can all safely assume these sticks are probably pretty damn old. Yes?
so my question with this: is this beetle hole fresh?
and if it is, can we assume that beetle eggs can survive in a cigar for over 10 to 15 years?
Anyway, from what I can gather, the Siboney brand name was around in the late 60's when Castro took over all the farms in Cuba. He was going to make one brand name - Siboney. Apparently there were three different sizes released and then they quickly changed the names back to the company names that were present pre-revolution.
I googled Siboney Honduras and apparently there was some sticks coming from there some time back. There was, until probably 10 years ago, the Siboney brand in Cuba that was still manufacturing cigars.
I found numerous online retailers selling the Siboney name, but more recent products from either Raices Cubana factory or My Father Factory. They look to be budget minded and sold in mazos of 20.
With that in mind, given that these have a Honduran label, I'd say they were made in Honduras. Not much info is found on that though. I basically have the smallest amount of info on the mysterious Siboney Cuban brand of the 60's after the revolution and then the newer Cuban and Non-Cuban brands.
Anyone know the history of the Cohiba logo?
