The History of Cigars

The history of cigars can be traced back to the ancient Mayans. The Mayans used to smoke cigars for religious and ceremonial purposes. They believed that the smoke from cigars could carry their prayers to the gods. The Mayans also used cigars to heal the sick and to promote relaxation.

Cigars were introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus in the 15th century. Columbus and his crew brought back samples of tobacco from their voyages to the Americas. The Spanish and Portuguese quickly adopted the practice of smoking cigars. By the 17th century, cigars were being smoked by people all over Europe.

In the 19th century, the United States became a major producer of cigars. The American cigar industry was centered in the city of Tampa, Florida. Tampa was known as the "Cigar Capital of the World." By the early 20th century, there were over 150 cigar factories in Tampa.

The cigar industry in the United States declined in the mid-20th century. This was due in part to the rise of cigarettes. Cigarettes were cheaper and easier to smoke than cigars. The American cigar industry also suffered from the effects of the Cuban Revolution. In 1959, Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba. Castro nationalized the Cuban cigar industry. This made it difficult for American cigar companies to import Cuban tobacco.

The cigar industry in the United States has begun to rebound in recent years. This is due in part to the growing popularity of premium cigars. Premium cigars are made from the finest tobacco and they are hand-rolled. Premium cigars are more expensive than regular cigars, but they offer a superior smoking experience.
