The tradition began in 1916, shortly after Don Santiago Tora?o arrived in Cuba from his native Spain. Decades later, his son Carlos made a key contribution to the industry, by introducing the renowned "Piloto Cubano" seed from Cuba in the Dominican Republic in the 1960's. Today, Don Santiago's grandson and great-grandson continue his family heritage with a handcrafted cigar of unmistakable Tora?o quality. Quality carried through the years for your smoking pleasure. A Tora?o cigar represents four generations of family tradition that include many personal sacrifices. Every Tora?o cigar carries the personal family touch that makes it one of the world's best. Only the highest quality vintage tobaccos and hand workmanship go into a Tora?o cigar to ensure a unique blend of art and craftsmanship. Each leaf is personally selected from a private family reserve and set aside exclusively for the making of these cigars. Blended with the finest filler that is recognized for its exquisite superiority the world over, the Tora?o cigar is then skillfully rolled in the most expensive and sought after tobacco wrapper available. The honor of making a Tora?o cigar is given only to the most skilled cigar makers, those who possess the rare ability needed to create these unique blends. Taking absolutely no shortcuts, each critical step is done completely by hand to ensure a finished cigar without parallel. Tora?o cigars are then aged months in Spanish cedar vaults until they reach the peak of perfection. This creates a marriage of the blends to be counted among the world's best. Even then, only the best of these cigars get to be hand boxed in an exclusive Tora?o package, design to fit the personality of anyone who appreciates quality.
Sincerely, The Tora?o Family
