The Cuban cigar no one has ever seen!! Does it get more special then this?

I’m sure no one has ever seen this cigar in real life. Maybe in a book…

Panatela 38x139 Machine-made, with a plastic filter capsule Dress box of 10 cigars in cellophane Released in the 60s, discontinued in the 70s, it only had a life span of around 10 years. The brand itself was launched in the 1850s, very old and in 1989 it was discontinued. In 2011 and 2015 there have been made cigars under this brands name as special edition cigars. Jose Gener also the one from Hoyo de Monterrey back then. So far that's what i was able to find about this cigar and brand. Nice find!

I have a Jose Gener humidor. Its a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur humidor. I believe the humidor dates from the 50's maybe 60's. I picked it up pretty cheap on eBay not very long ago. Jose Gener is definitely linked with Hoyo de Monterrey ! If i could post a picture here i would show you it. 👍

The bottom says "Something' Claro. Back then they didn't date stamp, but they would put the color of the cigars on the box. Certain regions preferred certain color of wrapper. That was the true meaning of "EMS" and "AMS" (prior to the embargo) I can't remember what it was, but the US liked either the lighter or darker, and the opposite desire was the UK, so those became "EMS"

If it was a pre embargo Cohiba it would be a unicorn. They didn’t exist until after.

Hoyo de Monterrey DISTRIBUTOR: Habanos S.A. Cuba’s José Gener registered the Hoyo de Monterrey brand in 1865 and the cigar has long been a major name in Cuban cigars. The brand is named after the Basin of Monterrey, which refers to a fertile plantation bought by tobacco grower José Gener in 1860 that's located on a river’s edge in the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba. The Hoyo Double Corona has a longstanding reputation for excellence, as does the robusto-sized Epicure No. 2.
