Best Cigar Shops in Orlando, FL
History of Cigars
The history of the cigar goes back a thousand years. They are thought to have been invented by the ancient Mayans who would wrap the tobacco in either palm or plantain leaves. This is actually depicted in an ancient Mayan pot which shows a Mayan man smoking one of these primitive cigars.
It is thought that Christopher Columbus and his men were among the first westerners to encounter tobacco in recorded history. Local Indians introduced tobacco to Columbus through trade. Smoking caught on and became popular in Spain and Portugal. While most cigars were originally manufactured in Spain, it was not long before the Spanish found that Cuba was the ideal place to grow tobacco. The climate in this country is ideal for growing tobacco, which explains why Cuban cigars have become famous the world over. And thus the race for the cigar started.
