1950s TROYA UNIVERSALES HABANA SINGLES
$60.00Troya is a brand of premium Cuban cigars that has been enjoyed by aficionados around the world for over a century. The brand was first established in 1885 by Jose Rocha, a tobacco grower and cigar maker from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba. Over the years, Troya has gained a reputation for producing some of the finest cigars in the world, thanks to the exceptional quality of the tobacco and the skill of their craftsmen. This box was freshly opened and is dated to the 1950s by the presence of the Cuban seal (green) which was used from 1931 to 1961. The band is a pre-1960s release according to the cubancigarwebsite. It may be older but I am being conservative.
