1950s RITMEESTER CORONA DE LUXE SINGLES
$35.00The information below was provided by Jose at Backyard Cigars: Backyard Cigars
Ritmeester cigars was owned by the Van Schuppen family established 1887. They manufactured in 5 factories in the Netherlands by the 1960’s.
They were popular in Canada as well as Australia, they entered the Australian market in 1964. They did well for a Dutch cigar company and were held in high regard.
During the 1950’s and 1960’s when many cigar companies were turning to homogenized leaf and machine rolling Ritmeester prided themselves on hand rolling and use of all natural tobacco.
In 1967 Johnny Hopkins had an article published in the Calgary Herald where it is talked about how Ritmeester is till practicing the dying art of the hand rolled cigar.
It is mentioned in this article that all Dutch cigars are made using only Indonesian tobacco.
In 1970 the Gallaher Co buys control of Ritmeester and by 1976 Gallaher is recruiting salesmen & saleswomen to develop sales for the Ritmeester brand.
The Ultimate Cigar Book by Richard Carleton Hacker mentions Ritmeester as being from Holland and one of the world’s premier Dutch type cigar using 100 percent tobacco.
The book also states Jochem Van Schuppen started manufacturing cigars in 1887 and introduced the Ritmeester brand in 1915. They are considered “Dry cigars” meaning they were kept at lower RH. In another book “ Hidden like Anne Frank: 14 True stories of survival written by Marcel Prins & Peter Henk Steenhuis Ritmeester cigars are mentioned because the Van Schuppens were actually hiding Jewish citizens from the Nazis. Employees for the Van Schuppen family aided in keeping families safe and hidden as well. The Van Schuppen family founders are Jochem & Marinus Van Schuppen and the first factory was started in Veenendaal. Today the company continues to produce and market cigars under The Dannemann Group as of 1989. George Dannemann is Brazilian and had a cigar factory in Brazil where Mata Fina flourished. Todays Ritmeester cigars lean heavily on Brazilian tobacco.
1972 DUTCH MASTERS MARAUDER SLIMLINE PANETELAS SINGLES
$35.00These are an extremely rare Dutch Maters vitola, information is even hard to find.

These cigars are post embargo and it is unlikely they contain havana but they are still a nostalgic vitola and a world class 60s cigar.
1965 SUERDIECK BAHIA BRASIL OURO DE CUBA SINGLES
$35.00I obtain these cigars from a contact I have in Portugal. They are well maintained and fresh. I have included information and two reviews on this brand from a major website that no longer has them, see below:
From Cigar.com:
Performs like it was just rolled yesterday.
By far one of the top 10, best tasting "mature" cigars we've ever had the privilege of burning! Suerdieck Bahia c.1965 cigars still, to this day, remains rich and full-flavored due to their incredibly hearty Brazilian tobaccos. Rumor has it, like many German-market cigars from this era, that the blenders actually "snuck in" Cuban tobacco into the filler of this cigar in an attempt to get around the Embargo Act—again, just a rumor, but they taste delicious.
Suerdieck Bahia hails from the Suerdieck S.A. factory which stood in the Reconcavo Baino region of Brazil. The factory remained in operation from 1890 to 1999, when it closed. Rolled in 1965, the cigar sports a Brazilian Maduro wrapper concealing a long-filler blend of hearty Brazilian tobaccos and maybe, just maybe, a sliver of Cuban leaf, but that can't be confirmed. The blend burns smooth, and although you'd expect a subtle taste, you're still blasted with medium-bodied strength, so this beauty was probably incredibly powerful in 1965. The flavor profile is actually still filled with that semi-sweet, rich chocolate taste Brazilian tobaccos are known for. For a super mature cigar, Suerdieck Bahia performs like it was just rolled yesterday.
Reviews:
X – Greatest cigar I ever smoked. Worth every dollar, thank you
XX – Great cigar. Pretty cool listening to "The Girl From Ipanema" on my IPod thinking I am probably the only person in the world smoking a cigar with Brazilian Tobacco from the time the song was released here in 2017

FROM MYSTIC STAMP COMPANY: Cigar Revenue Tax Stamps
The first Cigar Revenue stamps were issued in 1846, with the tax rate based on the value of the cigars. A short time later, a flat tax per thousand cigars was introduced. In 1917, cigars were once again taxed according to their value. The cigars were designated Class “A” through “E,” with “E” being the most expensive. Class “F” and “G” were later added to meet the increasing cost of cigars. In 1932, a numbering system began for the Cigar Revenue Stamps, with the first series designated “102” and valid for one year before it was replaced with “Series 103.” The practice continued in subsequent years. As a consequence, “Series 123” Cigar Revenue tax stamps were issued in 1953, and so on. Cigar Revenue tax stamps were discontinued in 1959.
