Available in two classical expressions, Castillo del Morro cigars are made from special select tobaccos that are grown, cured, fermented and aged using both traditional methods and the latest scientific and agricultural advances under the watchful eyes of a legendary Dominican tobacco-growing family. The cigars are then handcrafted in the Dominican Republic by only the most experienced cigar rollers and then set aside in special dark cedar-lined storage rooms for at least a year of aging before they are deemed ready for enjoyment.
The 12 month aging process allows the individual tobaccos’ characteristics time to intermingle to create a smooth, flavorful, aromatic, and balanced cigar that embodies the best characteristics of classic cigars.
CASTILLO DEL MORRO CLASSICO

Heritage—the traditions, achievements and beliefs that are part of the history of a group or nation.
For thousands of years, tobacco has been an important part of the heritage of the native peoples in the Americas. It served an important role in their society as a way to ease communication with their gods or cement important political agreements. They even used tobacco in medical treatments for a variety of ills. It should be no surprise then that the Taino people of Cuba presented tobacco as a gift to Christopher Columbus’ crew on their first encounter in 1492. Nor should it astonish anyone that the mystical weed would gain so much popularity throughout Europe, Africa and Asia so quickly after it had been brought back to Spain. Indeed, in a short time, tobacco became a global heritage, complete with new traditions, rituals and legacies.
One of the most enduring New World tobacco traditions occurred in Cuba, where the art of making hand-rolled premium cigars became legendary. Since the middle of the 19th century and continuing to this day, the island nation has become known throughout the world for producing the best cigars, which became synonymous with the country’s capital, Havana.

Starting in 1492 with Christopher Columbus’ first voyage of discovery and lasting until 1898 when Spain gave up its last colonies in the Caribbean, the Spain possessed one of the biggest empires in history. With territorial possessions scattered around the globe, the Spanish Empire was truly the first one on which the sun never set.
The Spanish Empire left a big legacy in the Americas and Caribbean basin. It established myriad settlements, universities, churches and architectural improvements. It established Spanish, with more than 470 million native speakers, as the second most spoken native language in the world. And it left a vibrant, rich and unique culture mixing elements of the native peoples and African and European influences.
Inspired by that rich Afro-European-Caribbean culture that is the heritage of 400 years of Spanish hegemony around the world, GMD Cigars presents Imperior. In Spanish, Imperior means “Imperial.” And Imperior cigars are truly worthy of enjoyment by an emperor.

Juan de la Cosa was a Spanish navigator and cartographer who, as the owner and captain of the Santa Maria, embarked with Christopher Columbus on his voyage seeking a western sea route to the Orient.
