To***co Hx - Day 7 (final day)
1900s: THE RISE, FALL, & RISE OF CI**RS

1905 – Over 70,000 small cigar factories registered with the U.S. Government (maybe another 30,000 unregistered) and 7 out of 10 men smoked ci**rs in the United States.

1929 – Increasing cigarette consumption (due to industrialization), the advent of the cigar rolling machine, WWI, and the financial crash of 1929 all contribute to a substantially negative impact on the Cuban cigar industry. In addition, industrialization effects the pace of life, creating less time for the enjoyment of ci**rs.

1954 – The Sommelier Society of America opens its doors in the United States and begins educating wine enthusiasts.

1959 – Fidel Castro takes control of Cuba and announces that individual cigar brands are a thing of the past. The exodus of Cuban cigar makers begins...

1960 – Cuba quickly changes course and re-releases old cigar brands.
– The Castro government begins the process of nationalizing privately owned to***co farms. Great cigar makers like Cifuentes, Toraño, Menendez, and Palicio were forced into exile.

1966 - Birth of the famous Cuban Cohiba brand: created for Fidel Castro and later given away to V.I.P.s and Diplomats.

1982 – Commercial introduction of the Cuban Cohiba brand: made available for sale to the public.

1990s – Worldwide Cigar Renaissance

1994 – Cuban government creates Habanos S.A. which is in charge of global distribution and marketing for Cuban ci**rs.

1998 – Commercial introduction of the Trinidad brand. Production on the Trinidad brand started in 1980 exclusively for Fidel Castro. They were created for Cuba’s leader and as gifts for diplomats and high level guests. The brand was created to take the place of the Cohiba as Cuba’s most exclusive and prestigious cigar.

1999 – Swedish Match, Europe’s largest to***co conglomerate, purchases the machine-made to***co business from General Cigar (U.S. maker of Macanudo): including the brands Garcia Vega, White Owl, and Tiparillo.

1999 – SEITA S.A. , the French to***co monopoly, buys U.S.-based Consolidated Cigar, maker of non-Cuban H. Upmann, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, San Luis Rey and o

Dissenters of 1776 — Limited Patriotic Release

Crafted in honor of our nation’s 250th birthday, Dissenters of 1776 is a bold new North Bay Cigar Co. release built for those who appreciate freedom, flavor, and a cigar with a story.

This medium-bodied blend features Cuban-seed Honduran to***co and aged Nicaraguan fillers, finished with a beautiful Nicaraguan Habano triple-cap wrapper. The result is a smooth, balanced smoke with enough character to stand out, but enough refinement to enjoy from start to finish.

The Dissenters of 1776 will be featured in our next Take 5 Sampler, dropping now.

This is a limited patriotic release made for July 4th, America’s 250th birthday, and anyone who believes a great c*gar should be crafted with purpose.

Day 6 - To***co Hx
1800s: BIRTH OF THE CUBAN CIGAR INDUSTRY!

Until this period, the Cuban to***co industry had been monopolized by Spain; primarily for raw leaf production. By the 1800s, European Colonial control of the "New World" began to give way to autonomous states and more privatized industry. As a result, the 1800s gave birth to the indigenous Cuban cigar industry and also saw to***co production and creativity flourish throughout the Americas.

1817: Deregulation: King Ferdinand VII legalizes the free production and sale of to***co in Cuba.

1827: Don Jaime Partagas establishes Flor de Tabacos Partagas y Companía on the edge of Old Havana.

1850: Innovative Dutch merchant Gustave Bock distinguishes his own ci**rs by placing a band on them.

1859: Cuban to***co production doubles since deregulation. Approximately 1,300 handmade cigar factories are in existence in and around Havana.

1895: Cuban Leader of Independence, Jose Marti, incites revolution against Spain by sending the message of insurrection from the U.S. to Cuba rolled in a cigar.

Jaime Partagas (Partagas)
Pepin Rodriguez (Romeo y Julieta)
Manuel Lopez (Punch)
Jose Gener (Hoyo de Monterrey)
Alfredo Nogueira (El Veguero)
J.F. Rocha (La Gloria Cubana)

These men, and others like them, created a technological and economic revolution in the cigar industry. Through passionate experimentation and a methodological control of each step in the agricultural and manufacturing process, these men developed and elevated to***co growing and cigar making to an art form. Due greatly to their work, cigar production has changed very little since the mid 1800s.

To***co Hx - Day 5

1700s CIGAR BOOM: CIGAR FACTORIES SPREAD ACROSS EUROPE

During the 1700s, to***co became big business for European countries. While taxation and punishment evolved during the 1600s, the 1700s were characterized by the growing popularity and development of the to***co industry. During this period cigar factories opened in Rome, France, and Germany among other countries.

- In 1717 King Felipe V of Spain organizes a monopoly on the cultivation of to***co in Cuba. Cubans will be relegated to growing to***co for the "Mother" country for the next hundred years, instead of developing their own Cigar industry.

- The to***co monopoly in Cuba sparks a strong sense of resentment that extends far beyond the to***co industry and continues to ferment all the way up to the Spanish-American War in 1898.

- For the purposes of taxation, the distinction was made between raw or un-manufactured to***co and manufactured to***co: a standard which continues today.

Today the state in which you purchase your ci**rs makes a huge difference. Laws in Colorado and California greatly effect cigar shop owners as opposed to Florida, a more to***co friendly state.

To***co Hx - Day 4
1600s: FROM PERSECUTION TO TAXATION

King James I (b.1566-d.1625) mutilated and tortured s***f users and hanged pipe smokers. Pope Urban VIII (b.1568-d.1644), Czar Michael Fedorovitch Romanov (b.1596-d.1645), the Shah of Persia Abbas I (b.1571-d.1629), and Sultan Murad IV of the Ottoman Empire (b.1612-d.1640) were monarchs of great nations which penalized the use of to***co: first with force and later through taxation.

Persecution
In near Middle Eastern countries, smokers could have their lips and noses cut off. Rodrigo de Jerez, one of Columbus’ crew members, was imprisoned for seven years after being arrested for smoking in public. The Spanish Inquisition had labeled him “demonic” for blowing smoke out of his nose in public.

Taxation
1629: France’s Cardinal Richelieu levies a tax of thirty sols on a pound of to***co. This trend toward taxation spreads throughout Europe as to***co usage becomes impossible to stop. France, Russia, England, Prussia, Portugal, and Austria all develop to***co monopolies before the end of the 17th century.

"Sin" taxation continues today...

Use of To***co Hx - Day 3

METHODS OF USING TO***CO:

Methods of smoking and using to***co evolved as a by-product of cultures and geographic areas which produced differing to***cos.

Some indigenous Americans smoked “cohiba” (grasses) from “Y” shaped tubes inserted into their noses.

1500s: France, England, and Holland begin using s***f and smoking to***co in pipes.
Their colonies in Africa, Asia and North America produced to***co that was best suited for pipes, and s***f.
S***f is ground up to***co that is snorted through the nose [and in recent times it is applied orally].
Was the most popular form of to***co used in Europe until the 1800s.
1900s emergence of oral s***f (a.k.a.: chew or dip).

1500s: Spanish culture took to smoking to***co wrapped in leaves, like the indigenous people they learned from [in lands Spain colonized].

1600s: In 1676 factories in Sevilla, Spain create the cigar as we know it today: characterized by the use of wrapper, binder, and filler leaves.

TO***CO AS MEDICINE: To***co Hx - Day 2

For thousands of years, to***co [occasionally mixed with hallucinogens and/or herbs] has played a curative and religious role in Caribbean, Aztec, Mayan, Incan and other indigenous American populations.

North, South, and Central American Indians used to***co for:

· Religious and ceremonial purposes (smoke was believed to help communicate with the gods).

· Healing open wounds with to***co leaves.

· Chewing to relieve toothaches and application to the brow for headaches.

· Europeans discovered that to***co reduced hunger and increased mental alertness and physical stamina.

Modern science tells us that ni****ne is an alkaloid which produces certain physiological effects in humans and animals. Ni****ne is found in to***co plants, and to a lesser degree in tomatoes, green peppers, potatoes, and eggplant. The general effects of ni****ne are biphasic: initially it is mentally invigorating, and then it leads to a relaxing effect. In small doses, ni****ne increases alertness, concentration, and enhances mental performance. Today we know that ni****ne protects against Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s, and can help treat Tourette’s syndrome, ADHD, schizophrenia, epilepsy, and possibly rheumatoid arthritis and colorectal cancer. New discoveries are being made every year about the beneficial effects of ni****ne, but these benefits are usually overshadowed in the public domain by Smokerism and anti-smoke hysteria. Fortunately, we know that "stress kills", and the greatest benefit from luxury to***co comes from its relaxing effects!
