Don Zuarin Cigars: A Name With History
Anyone searching for a Don Zuarin cigar in the Caribbean will come up empty-handed. The evocative name does not belong to a historical figure but rather to the medieval designation for Schwerin, as recorded in the Pöhlde Annals of the 12th century.
This manuscript, originating from a Benedictine monastery in the Harz region, was part of an ambitious project to create a comprehensive world chronicle. In the Middle Ages, monks documented significant events and placed them within a salvation-historical context. Thus, the water-rich and idyllic Schwerin was also mentioned under the name Zuarin.
