From the early 1800s to the late 1970s, Florida enjoyed a reputation of producing fine sun-grown tobacco crop after crop. The Sunshine State's climate is very similar to Cuba's which makes it an ideal location for growing premium cigar tobacco. However as cigarettes became more popular, along with some economic factors, the demand for cigars started to dwindle and by the end of the 1970s tobacco growing in Florida had practically vanished. If you are interested in smoking a cigar made with Florida Sun Grown tobacco, we suggest the Davidoff Florida Selection 2018 or FSG by Drew Estate.
