Popular cigars through the years.

Josh, I'm a firm believer that there's no such thing as a "dumb" question, but there is such a thing as a vague one. You ask "what was popular in the '60s 70s . . .", then clarify you meant "hand rolled". Not only did the Cuban embargo begin in the early 60s, which would prohibit their "popularity" in the USA, but the "hand rolled" products from the Caribbean and Central America had not yet had a chance to develop, following the exiles who fled Cuba. So the big names in America during that time were mainly the Ybor City producers of cigars you (seemingly, anyway) do not even consider to actually BE cigars.

, but that's my

, and certainly worth every penny.
