CIGARS
Currently the brand is losing a
bit of
prestige, due to a lack of push by Habanos
SA. The products still surviving
(the Famoso and the Unicos), despite
being appreciable cigars, do not reach the
quality of smoke offered by Clasicos and Don
Alejandro. Even the production, at the official
launch entrusted to the Josè Martin (H.Upmann)
manufacturing facility, has now been relocated to
a factory in the province of Pinar del Rio. According
to unofficial rumors the latest restyling drafts of the
brand; the face of the abuelo Don Alejandro seems
to have disappeared. News saddening smokers all
over the world, who found in the brand a background
sweetness combined with a strength never over the
top, also the result of a production consistency far from
frenzy demand. Noting these sad developments we almost
seem to imagine the silent abuelo who, clutching
his shoulders, turns to go and cultivate fields which no
longer belong to this world.
