Cuban Cigar Trademarks in the United States
1 - 20 of 36 Posts
Most brands have multiple marks associated with them, some being typed drawings and others being designs. If images were available, I've included them here. The first line of each mark's entry should include, if available:
The Word Mark | Drawing Code | Serial Number | Claimed first use in commerce.
I apologize for the number of posts involved but I was limited by the number of characters and images allowed per post.

I know! And the Red Dot Bolivar really surprised me as well.Who knew there was a non-cuban Flor del Cano?
I thought it was interesting to see how a majority of these marks started out being registered and owned by smaller companies and, over time, their ownership was consolidated into a few major players. It gives a little insight into the post-Embargo global cigar business. Also, some of the registrations by companies I'd never heard of (like Jose L. Piedra Cigar, Inc.) make you wonder if the company was formed primarily for the purpose of registering the mark so it could sell it after the Embargo is lifted.
Here's a pretty informative article about Ramon Cifuentes Toriello, registrant and early owner of the Partagas and Ramon Allones marks: http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/CA_Archives/CA_Show_Article/0,2322,279,00.html
