The History Behind the Cigar
Cigars have been man’s favorite treat since early 20th century. Since then, media such as the movie industry began depicting men smoking cigars. Eventually, cigar smoking became an art associated with masculinity and wealth.
Cuba was once the biggest exporter of cigars. However, the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 impeded the export of tobacco between the U.S. and Cuba. President John F. Kennedy approved a trade embargo with Cuba in 1962, which prohibits Americans from purchasing Cuban cigars. Now, 54 years after the trade embargo went into effect, President Obama alleviated the blockage of Cuban goods on March 15, 2016. Americans are now once-again allowed to travel to Cuba and return to the U.S. with Cuban cigars.
The Story of Prado House Cigar Co.
Prado House Cigar Co. is a family owned and operated online business, based in Whittier, CA. With the slogan, “Smoke’em if you Got’em!” Prado House Cigar Co., caters to both the newbie and experienced smokers.

You will never have to run out to get your best cigars — rather, have your favorite cigars come to you!
Owner Frank Prado, experienced smoker of fifteen years, struggled with buying cigars. If the boxes he purchased from big retailers back East ran out, he was forced to go to a liquor store and pay top dollar for a cigar he was unsatisfied with. Thus, alongside his son Matthew Prado, he pitched the idea of a convenient, cigar delivery service. That is how his business, Prado House Cigar Co. came to be and it aims at delivering a wide assortment of low-priced cigars, shipped to customers with no hassle.
Prado believes the process can be “intimidating” for new smokers or those who want to take up the hobby. That is why each cigar comes in a re-sealable bag with a cutter and matches, which can be stored for a few weeks.
Instead of paying top dollar for a lesser quality product, cigar enthusiasts can choose from a large selection of reasonably priced, high quality cigars, and receive their orders quickly. It is apparent that his passion for the trade is reflected by his business. “For me it’s not about selling the cigar — it’s about enjoying the cigar,” Prado says.
