José L. Piedra is a very special brand. Indeed, unlike the majority of Habanos, the leaves that go into the composition of its vitolas come exclusively from the region of Vuelta Arriba.
Originally from Asturias, the Piedra family arrived in Cuba in the 1880s. They were to set up and begin their cigar production, near the city of Santa Clara, in the heart of this Vuelta Arriba, where tobacco growing had started as early as the XVI century.
It is José Lamadrid Piedra, of the second generation Piedra, who was to create and develop the brand as we know it today.
The vitolas Jose L. Piedra are all elaborated totalmente a mano, tripa corta.
