| In 1942, across the Atlantic and discover a new continent was a great adventure. It was the Columbus' first step and also, it was the beginning of new discoveries. Certainly, he could not imagine, even on his most delirious dreams, that he would find in the new Island a native man breathing vapour from leaves, tightening wrapped, and exhalling it in a pleazant moviment. This leave that promoted surprize for the european visitors had alread known for the native people as Tobaco. Since that time, the europeans got contact with these leaves and their powerfull application, Puros. One of the bigest found, the tobaco, if it was not the most important, certainly becomes most polemics found. When the tobaco arrives in the old continent motivated curiosity and disturbance. But, do not take long time to become a simbol of status, refinement and sophistication, mainly when used as a Cigar. The secret of Cigars' quality cames from the leaves selecting throughout manufacturing until the consumming. Paulo Pereira |
