Guantanamera is the title of a famous song written and popularized by Cuban Joseito Fernandez in 1928. The song achieved international success in the 1960s, representing Cuba worldwide.
The "Guantanamera" brand was launched internationally in 2002 at the Inter-tabac trade fair in Dortmund. The cigars are made from tobacco from the Vuelta Arriba region, the second most important tobacco-growing region in Cuba. All formats are 'mecanizado' - machine-produced in a modern, recently established factory in Havana.
