00:02:06
Speaker
cigar – has a lot going on this is a wake you up in the morning cigar this is yeah arguably this is a cigar you should not be smoking in the morning unless unless you are seasoned and or you're on the day three of a you know six-day trip to nicaragua and you're feeling froggy yeah as we've done yeah of course um all right so racist cubanos let's start off with talking about racist cubanos um
00:02:34
Speaker
It's a name you may or may not recognize. It's a brand you may or may not have heard of. The races Cubanas was founded as a factory in 2003 by Romay and Domano with his wife, Maria and their son, Hugo and Donley, Honduras.
00:02:50
Speaker
um Pretty soon after they launched, they became the main factory for Alec Bradley. So if you've ever smoked an Alec Bradley, odds are it came out of this factory. um
Notable Creations from Reisus Cubanas
00:03:01
Speaker
For the last 20 years, they've been making cigars for for Alec Bradley.
00:03:05
Speaker
They have also, over the years, this isn't all of them, but I put down some of the big heavy hitters that they've made cigars for, like Ellusione, Viaje, La Polina, and HVC, among other brands. they've They've been in a factory for a long time. It's made some pretty well-regarded cigars, stuff like the Ellusione Rothschilds and the Epernay.
00:03:28
Speaker
They've made a ton of stuff for Vyaje. They made some of the finest La Polina's, in my opinion, in the Kill Bill. the The remake, the... the lining The full line of Kill Bills.
00:03:41
Speaker
Originally it was just a size, but it's now its own line with with normal sizes, not just the Coronas. um And they're all they're all made races Cubanas. um
Ralph Montero's New Chapter
00:03:52
Speaker
Some of the HVC stuff, the Pan Caliente is the one there.
00:03:55
Speaker
So after Alec Bradley was purchased by STG, Ralph Montero, who had formerly worked with, ah or before this, he worked with Alec Bradley.
00:04:06
Speaker
For a long time, he did a lot of blending, and he was kind of their, he was one of the people that came up with new brands for them and came up with the blends to go along with those. So he has worked for decades very closely with this factory.
00:04:21
Speaker
After the purchase of Alec Bradley from STG, um he decided, i want to i want to be on the ground floor something again. So he went to the factory and worked with them to start Racist Cubanas Cigars 2024. So they launched in late 2024.
00:04:41
Speaker
um We met them at the trade show last year. That was the first time Racist Cubanas has ever had their booth. ah their own booth because like I said, they were a factory for 20 years before becoming a cigar company.
00:04:53
Speaker
um And I've smoked a couple of cigars. They're they're on point, man. They're good cigars with good construction.
