Schuster Aniversario little cigars contain the tobacco from the special tobacco bale
In 2009, the foundation of the August Schuster cigar factory in Bünde was celebrated at the 100th time – this was taken as an opportunity to create a few, somewhat more special Schuster Aniversario little cigars, which are more special than usual ones. The planning of this brand dates back to 1995, which was a very good harvest year in Brazil. At that time, some special bales of tobacco were set aside and carefully matured over the years. It should become something very special for the anniversary.
The Schuster Aniversario little cigars No. 1 and No. 2 are made by machine at Schuster, but contain tobacco from the special tobacco bale that has been waiting for its special use in the Schuster store for over 10 years. The No. 3 is a handmade filler from the Tabacalera in Honduras with which the cobblers have been working for a long time.
There are some interesting facts about the August Schuster cigar factory, which produces the Schuster Aniversario little cigars.
In 1909, August Schuster founded the cigar factory of the same name in Bünde, Westphalia, at that time he had been managing the Gebr. Schuster manufacture together with his brother for around 10 years.
The family tradition goes back to the 18th century and began in the bakery trade, from which the family’s motto derives: “Committed to enjoyment for generations”. In the heyday of the cigar there were at least 6 factories in the branched family, since then the “cobblers”have produced 16 proud cigar manufacturers. They still maintain this unique tradition worldwide and therefore celebrate the 100th company anniversary with a proudly swollen chest. The brothers Manfred and Philipp Schuster currently run the company in the solid tradition of its founders. Only first-class qualities are accepted, only products made from 100% tobacco are manufactured. Many good cigar shops like the ours now stock the always-popular products from Bünde. There are well-known names like Partageno, Lepanto, Cardenal Mendoza, Casa de Torres, Brazil Trüllerie and Maria Mancini. All of these brands have been on the market for decades and have made cigar history.
