Cuervo y Sobrinos – Cigars and Cigar Accessories

Havana has long been regarded as a city of serenity. Anyone who engages with Cuervo y Sobrinos encounters precisely this unhurried rhythm. Here, watches and cigars are not seen as utilitarian objects, but as companions for moments of conscious enjoyment.

History and Origins of the Cuervo y Sobrinos Cigars

The roots of Cuervo y Sobrinos reach back to 19th-century Havana. In 1862, Ramón Fernández Cuervo opened a jewelry store that quickly became an established address among high society after his nephews joined the business in 1882. The house attracted writers, politicians, and travelers alike. Names such as Ernest Hemingway and Winston Churchill stand as symbols of an era in which Havana set international standards with music, joie de vivre, and high-quality cigars. At the time, a stylish watch was as much a part of one’s appearance as a carefully rolled Habano.

With the political upheavals in Cuba, Cuervo y Sobrinos initially lost visibility as well. It was not until the 1990s that the brand was revived. Today’s luxury watches are produced in Switzerland, yet they still carry the spirit of Havana within them. This interplay of precision and origin also defines the house’s tobacco products.

Between Watchmaking Tradition, Cigar Enjoyment, and Caribbean Character

Cuervo y Sobrinos stands for a distinctive connection between Cuba and Switzerland. This bridge is reflected not only in the names of individual watch models that draw on terms from the world of tobacco, but also in the design. References to Havana’s Belle Époque can be found, as well as thoughtfully designed packaging that can in part be used as fully functional humidors with hygrometer and humidifier.

The Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador line is a tribute to Havana’s city historian Dr. Eusebio Leal and at the same time the brand’s first cigar series. It is offered in the formats Mareva, Robusto, Perfecto Press, and Toro. These cigars are produced entirely by hand in Nicaragua.

The wrapper comes from Ecuador, while binder and filler originate from Nicaragua. The result is a creamy, medium-bodied blend that remains pleasantly accessible and is suitable both for experienced aficionados and for everyday enjoyment. Cuervo y Sobrinos Nicaragua thus stands for reliable quality, an even burn, and a fair price–performance ratio.
