Popular cigars through the years.

The US distributed Dunhill brands were quite popular including Royal Jamaican, Santa Cruz, Dunhill, Tempe Hall, Henry Clay... I am sure some here can name more.

The Cuban copy brands took a while to take off except for Partagas which has a long NC history (and much better cigars than what they are now). Try an humi-tube and wow!

Davidoff had their own line of cigars including Zino and Davidoff.

Oscar was a popular brand that is not talked about and still around.

As for sizes, let someone else chime in on that, but my hunch is US market was big on Corona range cigars. Churchill is always around, but for the same kind of smoker as today.
