The HDC Cigar Factory has been manufacturing cigars under many brands for several years; highlights include Havana 3340 and Havana Reserva, which are rolled out at their factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Now the cigar maker has introduced its first premier product line. The Havana 1958 Mafia Time brand line offers three mixes, each in different club sizes. We highly recommend these clubs for their unique mixes, great build, and historical significance. Currently, the line is beginning to reach retailers.
The Havana 1958 Mafia Time cigar line pays homage to an area of Cuba known as Manicaragua, located in the central province of Villa Clara, formerly Las Villas. The region is famous for a mineral-rich soil ideal for tobacco. Beginning in 1937, the region saw the first of many cigar factories to emerge. There is a link to the region through the HDC Cigar Factory’s ‘Presidente Raúl Velazco’, whose paternal lineage is said to be “deeply woven into the tradition of cigar-making in Manicaragua.” With Havana 1958 Mafia Time, Mr. Velazco set out to create a cigar steeped in Cuban tradition.
