1970s OPTIMO MADURO PALMAS SINGLES

1990’s BACHSCHMIDT CIGARILLOS SINGLES
$10.00Bachschmidt 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.
