La Flor del Cano Cuban cigars are often hard to find due to the small production quantities. But like the larger Havana cigar brands, their small selection of light- to medium-flavoured cigars are characterized by excellent workmanship, with a delicate balance between flavour and aroma, in the handmade sizes.

In doing the research for the La Flor del Cano Cuban cigars brand, we discovered two completely different versions regarding the origins of this company.

The more common version found on cigar Websites tells of two brothers founding the company in the late 1880s. The second version, by the grandson of the original owner, says the La Flor del Cano Cuban cigars brand was created by Juan Cano Sainz in Havana, Cuba in 1932:

"A false story is in circulation about two fictitious brothers who allegedly founded the La Flor del Cano brand. It can only be assumed that this account was created by someone who needed to tell a story quickly but did not want to take the time to properly research the label's history. Unfortunately, by doing so, it deprives the rightful founder and his proud family of the credit he labored so hard to earn. Here, the factual history of this classic Cuban Cigar is revealed."
