History of Te Amo Cigars
The history of Mexican cigars is often underappreciated; it was once a major part of the cigar industry, with Mexican tobaccos used by producers across the world. When it comes to Mexican cigar brands, however, there are few with as much legacy as Te Amo.
Originally hyphenated and meaning ‘I love you’ in Spanish, Te Amo was first created in 1966 by the legendary Turrent family of tobacco growers. During the 1970s and 80s, Te Amo cigars made a name for themselves as budget-friendly premium smokes, particularly in the USA.
Cementing their legacy in cigar history, Te Amo was the original creator of the ‘Toro’ size of cigar, the name coming from the bull that used to feature on the brand and its bands.
As Mexican cigars fell out of fashion, so did Te Amo. However, they remain a classic part of the cigar world and modern iterations, still being produced by the Turrent family, show why Te Amo deserves its place at the table alongside other premium cigars.
