The story

According to Habanos, the Piedra family came from Asturias to Cuba in the 1880s and settled near Santa Clara. The brand commemorates José Lamadrid Piedra of the family's second generation. Unlike many Cuban marques based on Vuelta Abajo tobacco, it uses leaf from the Remedios region and is made by hand with short filler. Habanos describes a medium-to-full character. Cigario includes Petit Caballeros, whose particular format should be recorded separately from this broader brand history.
