I hope last year was good for year and with little luck this one will even be better. This story goes, that in 1860 at the age of 18 somebody called Ignacio Haya arrived from Escalante, Spain to Havana, Cuba. Seven years later Ignacio Haya moved to New York City, where he established a cigar company with his friend Serafin Sanchez. Although their business was successful, around that precise time there was a very strong motion amidst factory workers towards unionization. So Ignacio and his friend Serafin decisive to move to Tampa, Florida, then a hub of Spanish immigrants coming from Cuba. In 1885 Ignacio Haya purchased 10 acres next to Ybor City and started construction of the building for his new factory. On April 16, 1886 Sanchez Y Haya rolled their firstborn cigar at Factory No.1 in Ybor City, which is now part of Tampa, Florida. Haya has made significant contribution to cigar manufacturing in the United States. Following his success, a great deal of more factories sprang out in Tampa and some are still there making machine made cigars. There is even a street in Tampa in Seminole Heights named after him. In 1887 in order to promote their brand Ignacio Haya and Serafin Sanchez commissioned than a hugely usual German printing company, Klingenberg to print an publicity poster for their brand. At that time Klingenberg was the most esteemed company to have your labels prints done by. Over the years the company devised thousands of cigar labels and various dozens of prints and is illfamed for initially printing the introductory H. Upmann label. It is considered that a handful of Sanchez Y Haya posters are still in circulation and few of them are in Klingenberg archives in Dortmund, Germany. Because of it is history, Sanchez Y Haya poster is considered the most sought after poster amongst cigar memorabilia accumulators and in order not to give you a untrue impression I will not quote any dollar amounts. Lastly I will say that a proof, meaning an primary test print, of that poster is located at TNTCIGARS headquarters in Phoenix, AZ on 10th Street and Camelback Rd and is a prize of cigar history. If you are ever in the neighborhood please stop by and will be happy to show you a great deal of other cool stuff in our collection. |
