Jose El Piedra Conservas

José L. Piedra stands out as a notable Havana brand, not only because its blend is crafted exclusively from filler tobaccos grown in the Remedios tobacco region (previously known as Vuelta Arriba) but also due to its use of the ‘totalmente a mano, tripa corta’ method, meaning ‘totally handmade, short filler.’

The Piedra family immigrated to Cuba in the 1880s from Asturias, Spain. They established their home near Santa Clara, situated in the heart of the Remedios region, where tobacco cultivation has thrived since the 16th century, and began producing cigars.

The brand was founded and developed by the family’s second generation, led by José Lamadrid Piedra, whose legacy is honoured today.

All José L. Piedra sizes are crafted from Remedios tobaccos using the traditional ‘tripa corta, totalmente a mano’ technique—short filler, completely handmade.
