Evelio
Hand made long filler from Honduras.
Evelio Oviedo, the master roller of our new super-premium Honduran puro, comes from a Cuban cigar making family. He gained his experience while working for 23 years at the H. Upmann factory in Havana.
In 1961, as the head of the Cuban roller's union, and under intense pressure from the Castro regime, he moved to Las Palmas, Grand Canary Island. There, the owners of the U. Upmann and Montecristo brands - Mendez and Garcia - had Oviedo open a factory for them. After running this factory for 11 years, he was hired to open facilities for La Insulara Tobacalara, and developed the Montecruz, Flamenco, Don Marco and Don Miguel brands. Soon after, he established the German-owned La Breman Alimania facilities. One year later, he left the cigar industry and moved to New York City.
Unhappy with not being in the cigar industry, Evelio was off to Brazil with the Mendez organization to open a facility at San Gonzales Dos Campos. After opening this factory, he moved to Miami with the intent of permanent retirement. Nestor Plasencia, however, had other plans for Evelio. While experiencing some mysterious production problems with one of his brands, he sought the reputed master to come down to Honduras and help solve the problem.
While there, Nestor told Evelio of his group's dream to produce cigars with the original Cuban Quality and workmanship. His love for the 'old ways' was inspired, and, with the assurance that he would be given total control over the process to ensure it duplicates the original Cuban-style of cigar making, he agreed to assist with the setup of Nestor's new facilities to produce these exquisite cigars.
