In 1961, the CIA was given instructions to use their medical services to place a poison into Fidel Castro’s ci**rs but the scheme didn’t go to plan. Castro came out and said he received a diplomatic gift from the CIA and that the ci**rs made him sick but had tasting notes of leather and gorgonzola!

Ever wonder why ci**rs in old cartoons are shapped so funny?
Up until the 1950s, the perfecto shape was one of the more popular vitolas. If you look at old cartoons, you’ll notice that most cigar smoking characters puffed on the football-shaped cigar. From the fifties on, parejos (round head, straight sides) like the corona, Lonsdale, and panatela became the bulk of the market, and later, with our desire for bigger, chunkier ci**rs, we saw the growth of the robusto, toro, and gordo. The perfecto recently has made a comeback, and its newfound rejuvenation has led to a flock of them, along with similar shapes like the diadema and salamone, coming to market.
