1990’s BACHSCHMIDT CIGARILLOS SINGLES

$10.00

Bachschmidt Little cigars are machined short fillers. Refined Bachschmidt Little cigars have a bright natural cover sheet of Sumatran tobacco.

The Bachschmidt Little cigars are manufactured in the Arnold André cigar factory. The smoker is surprised by Bachschmidt Little cigars, which are a revelation in terms of appearance and taste. The inlay is created from a mixture of different, selected tobacco, which is held by a binder of tobacco. The wrapper is made of tobacco that has matured in Sumatra. With a length of 109 mm and a diameter of 10.9 mm, the Puros Sumatra are quite impressive cigarillos.

The smoker is won over by a taste that is elegant and complex. The Bachschmidt Little cigars are packaged in a beautifully designed box tin of 10 cigars. The machine-made short fillers impress with their very good workmanship and even burn-up. They are cigarillos that offer smokers a daily smoking experience.

“Arnold André – The Cigar Company” was founded in 1817. Today the cigar factory is based in Bünde and is the largest German cigar manufacturer. With various brands such as Handelsgold, Vasco da Gama or Tropenschatz, the company was able to establish itself in the industry or even write German cigar history. For a long time, Arnold André focused only on the Handelsgold brand, which is still understood today as a symbol for the upswing of the German economy in the post-war period. It wasn’t until the popularity of cigars declined in the 1970s and 1980s that the house decided to pursue a more offensive strategy with several brands.

Gourmets appreciate the traditional Bachschmidt Little cigars.

The CAO Criollo cigar comes wrapped in a dark, rich chocolate brown Criollo 98 wrapper. This wrapper is the product of years of hybridization and selection and delivers a smooth, creamy and slightly spicy aroma and smooth finish to these beautifully constructed cigars. The Criollo cigar strain of tobacco is believed by many experts to be one of…
if not the original tobaccos found in Cuba when Columbus arrived. The word criollo means "native seed" in Spanish and it is this native, Cuban seed that eventually lead to the Criollo 98 wrapper leaf. Combining this outstanding wrapper from Nicaragua and an all Nicaraguan long-filler blend, the CAO Criollo cigars provide the well-heeled cigar smoker a truly unique medium bodied smoking experience. With a bevy of 90 ratings from Cigar Aficionado magazine, the CAO Criollo is a cigar that should find its way into every serious cigar fan's regular rotation.

1970s OPTIMO MADURO PALMAS SINGLES

$25.00
Winston Churchill liked the mild Optimo cigar manufactured by A. Santaella Cigars, and so did Babe Ruth. Tampa was one of “The Babe’s” favorite places to visit–he had made his mark here on April 4, 1919, in a pre-season game the Boston Red Sox played against the New York Giants. He knocked a 587-foot home run out of the Tampa Fair Grounds, over a fence, and into a furrow in a farmer’s field!
Each year when he arrived in Tampa for spring training, “The Great Bambino” would take the opportunity to stock up on his favorite cigars. He would visit the A. Santaella Cigar Factory in West Tampa to collect a few boxes of his beloved smoke, known as “The Best of the Best,” and he always made time to pose for pictures.
​The four-story, red brick building still stands at 1906 N. Armenia. It was built in 1904 after a fire destroyed the previous structure. Since this was the second time a fire had occurred, its owners decided to use a different rebuild plan. When Antonio Santaella from Seville, Spain, and Sol
Hamburger from Bavaria was built a third time; they purchased the entire block and built the factory in the middle. The last fire had jumped from one building to another, and Mr. Santaella did not want this to happen again. He later convinced the city to build a fire station behind his factory–another safeguard was in place. Their new factory was one of the city’s largest and most efficiently equipped. 
Santaella and Hamburger have a long history in the business. They began manufacturing cigars in 1886 and had factories in Key West before coming to Tampa. Between 1918 and 1919, Santaella produced over forty-five million cigars, and in 1946, they opened a factory in Clearwater, Florida. That operation was eventually closed, and in 1955 the factory in Armenia was sold to Universal Cigar Corporation.
