Cuesta-Rey
Cuesta-Rey (originally 'La flor de Cuesta-Rey' and still printed on the box) is a brand of handmade Tampa, Florida to make 'clear Havana' cigars (cigars made in the United States using imported Cuban tobacco). As well as making their own brands they made cigars for other companies such as Nat Sherman.
In 1958, Karl Cuesta, Angel's son sold the company to the J.C. Newman Cigar Co. and since the 1980s they have been produced in the Dominican Republic by Tabacalera A. Fuente.
