More than 25 years ago I bought Churchill-sized (7 x 50) cigars that were labeled as being made in Tampa from pre-embargo Cuban tobacco. The brand was Cervantes. The large ringed cigar was among the finest I've tasted while their "Falcon" model, a long, thin cigar smoked like a torch. I used to buy them from Ron Purcell at the Tinderbox in Chesterfield Mall in St. Louis County, Missouri. They were egregiously inexpensive for their quality.

Does the brand exist, making cigars from the same tobacco? If it does, what has happened to the price?
