Have you ever wondered where cigars were produced for the first time? It is generally accepted that cigars were first produced in Spain. But before cigars has become fashionable in Europe, tobacco was necessary to do so. Tobacco is indigenous to the Americas, where indigenous peoples have produced for hundreds of years. It is believed that the Maya of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico and parts of Central America cultivated tobacco, and even smoked it! Smoking spread to other tribes, north and south. It believes that its first use in the United States was probably among the tribes along the Mississippi. It was not until Christopher Columbus sailed his famous voyage to the Americas in 1492 that the rest of the world to tobacco.

It is said that Columbus was not impressed by tobacco or use among indigenous peoples, but many seamen have risen found strange to the plant. Soon, he was quickly taken in Spain and Portugal. From there it spread to France, where French Ambassador Jean Nicot lent its name to the scientific name of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). The origin of the word itself of tobacco are always suspect, even though many believe it is simply a corruption of the word Tobago, which is the name of a Caribbean island. Still others believe it is the word of Tabasco, a region (and now state) in Mexico.

The first planting tobacco in the United States was established in Virginia in 1612. More tobacco plantations in Maryland followed soon after. While tobacco has become a popular culture, it is only smoked in pipes. The cigar was not introduced in the U.S. until the late 18th century. Israel Putnam, an army general who had served in the Revolutionary War, is credited with the introduction of the cigar in the United States. He had traveled to Cuba after the Revolutionary War and returned with a box of Cuban cigars. Their popularity quickly spread, and soon enough cigar factories were established in Hartford, Connecticut, where General Putnam resided.

In Europe, cigar production and consumption did not achieve widespread popularity until the peninsula after the war in the early 19th century. British and French veterans returned to their home countries after years of service in Spain with their tobacco pipes in tow. Among the rich and fashionable, the preferred method of taking tobacco was the cigar. Smoking cigars is a habit associated with wealth and discrimination of high society.
