| Dona Flor cigars are the creation of Felix Menendez, son of one of the most famous cigar manufacturers of all time, Alonso Menendez. Alonso Menendez gained eternal fame as the creator of the Montecristo brand and majority owner of the H Upmann factory in Cuba in the days before the Castro revolution. After the new government’s seizure of the factories in 1960, the Menendez family, mistakenly thinking the revolution to be temporary, fled Cuba to Miami. It was soon apparent that they had lost their Cuban business forever, so they tried to rebuild it in Spain, rolling cigars using the Montecristo mold. For a short time, they succeeded in creating cigars, some of which president J.F. Kennedy was reportedly fond of. |
