Havana La Credencia - Cigar Box Label - Not Actual Cigars

A cigar band is a circular strip made from paper or foil that encircles the body of a cigar, serving to identify its brand or type. While the origins of this accessory are surrounded by various legends, contemporary historians attribute the invention of the cigar band to Gustave Bock, a European immigrant to Cuba, in the 1830s. Within twenty years, the practice of banding cigars exported from Havana became nearly ubiquitous. Today, the use of cigar bands continues to be integral to modern cigar manufacturing, with a noticeable trend towards larger and more intricate designs. Additionally, cigar bands have gained popularity as collectibles, leading to the formation of a group known as the International Label, Seal and Cigar Band Society for enthusiasts.
