Cigars:
The Rebirth of Jamaican Cigars
When people think of smokable goods from the
Caribbean paradise of Jamaica, premium
hand-rolled cigars are rarely the first thing to
come to mind. This wasn’t always the case.
After the Cuban revolution, and following a
President Kennedy-era embargo that lasts to
this day, Jamaica was, for a time, the source for
premium cigars to the massive US market just to
the north. Following a succession of
hurricanes and rising labor costs, much of the
Caribbean cigar industry moved on to the
Dominican Republic and other nations in the
tropical neighborhood
