At the 2021 Tobacco Plus Expo (TPE) 2021 in Las Vegas, Casa Cuevas Cigars will introduce a new line known as the Patrimonio.
The name Patrimonio translates to Patrimony in English. It is dedicated to Luis Cuevas Sr. and to the paternal lineage of the Cuevas tobacco history which began over a 100 years ago. The Cuevas family’s tobacco history began when Juan Cuevas, a Spanish expatriate, began growing tobacco in Cuba in the mid-19th century.
Patrimonio was the brainchild of Luis Cuevas Jr. and his son Alec Cuevas. While the cigar was created in conjunction with Luis Cuevas Sr., the name of the line, its significant, and packaging were not revealed to Cuevas Sr. until the blend was finalized. This was to surprise Cuevas Sr. about the line being a homage to him, his father, and grandfather.
Luis Cuevas Jr., President of Casa Cuevas Cigars stated: “Patrimonio is a project that is extremely near and dear to my son Alec and myself. When my father left Cuba, he left tobacco behind. Years later, after rebuilding in the U.S.A., he was able to revive our family tobacco history by opening his cigar factory in the Dominican Republic. Because of my father’s perseverance, our family legacy continues to live on.”
Patrimonio is a blend consisting of a Honduran Corojo wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder, and a combination of Peruvian, Nicaraguan, and Dominican tobaccos. The blend will be available in three sizes (Robusto Gordo, Toro, and Gordo) – each presented in 20-count boxes.
In a press release Luis Cuevas Jr., President of Casa Cuevas Cigars stated: “Patrimonio is a project that is extremely near and dear to my son Alec and myself. When my father left Cuba, he left tobacco behind. Years later, after rebuilding in the U.S.A., he was able to revive our family tobacco history by opening his cigar factory in the Dominican Republic.
