 Carlos
Miranda, Architect and designer of the new factory depicted on our
homepage and brochures, takes a moment after a long day surveying
the facilities and making preliminary plans. Here, Carlos seems
to take in the rain forest jungle with a long, slow pull on the
Don Collins Ambassador he is savoring in the photo. Smoking
a cigar in the jungle on this truly historic site where cigars got
their name gives as all a reason to pause. |

The site is being studied by Pantel, Del Cueto & Associates.
Dr. Agamemnon Gus Pantel, Ph.D., an archeologist with a Ph.D. in
anthropology & archeology and his wife, Beatriz Del Cueto, A.I.A.,
who is the historic preservation consultant for Puerto Rico Tobacco
Corporation and Don Collins Cigars, have proposed studying the site
for its obvious value. Sik’ar is the ancient indian
name used to describe the annual cigar festival held at this location.
The name of the festival was taken back to Seville, Spain as cigarro
and is reliably the origin of the word cigar. |
