Cuervo y Sobrinos – Cigars and Cigar Accessories

They say Havana teaches the art of slowing down. Anyone who immerses themselves in the world of Cuervo y Sobrinos experiences exactly this pace, where watches and cigars are not simply consumed, but consciously celebrated.

Cuervo y Sobrinos Premium Cigars and Their Origin

In the vibrant Havana of the 19th century, the story of Cuervo y Sobrinos begins. In 1862, Ramón Fernández Cuervo founded a jewelry store that evolved into the eponymous brand when his nephews joined the business in 1882. Before long, the house became a meeting place for the style-conscious elite. Personalities such as Ernest Hemingway and Winston Churchill appreciated the special atmosphere, whose influence extended far beyond the borders of Cuba. Cuervo y Sobrinos stands as a symbol of an era in which Havana shaped the international world of indulgence with jazz, casinos, and first-class cigars, where an elegant watch was as natural an accessory as a classic Habano.

With the Cuban Revolution, the brilliance of that era faded, and Cuervo y Sobrinos temporarily disappeared from the stage as well. It was not until the 1990s that the brand experienced its renaissance. Today, the luxury watches are created in Switzerland. Despite Alpine precision, they continue to preserve the spirit of Havana and its sensual warmth.

Watchmaking Culture, Cigars, and Caribbean Elegance

Cuervo y Sobrinos combines Cuba and Switzerland as naturally as watchmaking and cigar enjoyment. The collections draw on terminology from the tobacco world and reference the Belle Époque of Havana in their design. Some presentations are conceived to double as fully functional humidors, equipped with hygrometers and humidification elements—a detail connoisseurs truly appreciate.

The Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador line honors Havana’s former city historian, Dr. Eusebio Leal, whose name is inseparably linked to the restoration of the old town. At the same time, Historiador designates the brand’s first cigar series. It comprises the formats Mareva, Robusto, Perfecto Press, and Toro. They are entirely handmade in Nicaragua. The elegant wrapper comes from Ecuador, while binder and filler originate from Nicaragua. The result is a harmonious, medium-bodied blend with a creamy texture, clear aromas, and a consistently reliable draw.
