The Guantanamera brand offers an approachable, flavourful introduction to Cuban cigars with its smooth, mild-to-medium profile and unique slow-burning formula. Manufactured at the San José factory in Santiago de Cuba, Guantanamera cigars are made using a blend of tobaccos rolled with a characteristic slow-burning binder and wrapper - resulting in consistently mellow and enjoyable smokes. Guantanamera Cuban cigars are perfect for casual smoking, pairing with light meals or afternoon breaks.
