Juana Ramos Guerra is the melodious name of one of Cuba's best cigar rollers. She has been making the finest Habanos for over 50 years and was once one of the co-founders of the legendary Cohiba factory El Laguito in Havana. In recent years, she has worked as a roller at La Casa del Habano in the Hotel Meliá Cohiba and then in the cigar shop in the neighbouring Hotel Riviera. 

25 aficionados accepted the invitation to a very special evening with Juanita and enjoyed her craftsmanship and the freshly rolled cigars.

Since the beginning of October, „Juanita“, as she is known to countless cigar lovers around the world, has also been on the road in German tobacco shops. Last week, she made a stop at the Habanos Point shop Baydar&Sahin in Essen. 25 aficionados accepted the invitation to a very special evening with Juanita and enjoyed her artistry and the freshly rolled cigars. The event was organised by Gökcay Baydar and his partner Onur Sahin. Also present was 5th Avenue sales representative Michael Zinser, who looks after the Baydar&Sahin Lounge on behalf of the German Habanos importer.

I am the editor of Zigarren.Zone and co-founder and editor of origin-of-cigar.com. Since 1995, I have been deeply involved with cigars – not just as a luxury item, but as a craft, a cultural asset and a fascinating natural product. With Zigarren.Zone, I have deliberately moved away from the traditional language of flavour descriptions. I’m not interested in what a cigar reminds me of. I’m interested in what the tobacco itself has to say. That’s why I explain connections in an accessible way, observe rather than judge, and prioritise knowledge over marketing. As well as my articles, I produce documentary films and video reports about cigars, their origins and the people behind them. My aim is simple: to explain cigars in an accessible way – independently and with respect for the tobacco.
