ALEJANDRO ROBAINA
Admiring his tobacco, Castro allowed Robaina to keep running his own plantation.
Pamphlet signed: "Alejandro/ Robaina/ 10/10/2000". One sheet, double-sided, opens to 18½ x 8¾. Cuban cigar grower Robaina (1919-2010) was Cuba's most revered tobacco grower; his leaves wrapped some of the best cigars in the world. Robaina reportedly smoked his first cigar at the tender age of nine and started working on his family's 40-acre tobacco plantation, which has been in continuous operation since 1845. He had a role in the privatization of Cuban tobacco farms after the 1959 revolution, when Fidel Castro nationalized many large farms. Robaina was allowed to keep his farm, as long as he produced for the state, and his yields were consistently higher than state farms. Nowadays, almost all of the nation's farms are private, and they pattern their business after Robaina's farm. Cuba honored him in the 1990s with an award personally presented by Castro and, in 1997, the state tobacco monopoly Habanos SA introduced the Vegas Robaina, making him the first living person to have a cigar named after him. Fine condition.
