The Taño family has a Tobacco history dating back to the late 1800’s in Cuba. They had thriving businesses that included growing, processing & selling tobacco leaves throughout Cuba and the U.S. With the takeover of Cuba by Fidel Castro in 1959, they decided to call Miami, FL home. Taño & Sons Cigar Co. Inc. was established in 1967. Their cigars were sold throughout Miami, the U.S. and the Caribbean.
About Us
We recycle used cigar boxes from local cigar shops & lounges in Miami to make one of a kind, handmade cigar box tables, purses, jewelry boxes and many other cigar related items for the home. No two items are exactly alike making each one unique. Every part of the cigar box is repurposed, from the labels, rings & ribbons, to the cedar & wood inserts, and the box itself. We are doing our part to help reduce, reuse & recycle for a better tomorrow, while creating functional, unique items at the same time.
