History
Canary Islands
The Serafin family works in
agriculture on the island of La Gomera. Don Antonio Serafin arrives in Cuba as a soldier in the Spanish army. He decides to stay after the war is over and begins working with “shade” tobacco in the famed Pinar del Rio tobacco region of Cuba.
Serafin Legend Begins
Don Antonio relocates to the tobacco rich region of central Cuba. There, he purchases land and names it Fidencia Ranch where he grows both tobacco and sugar cane. He eventually teaches his son Don Ramon Sr. and his brothers the art of cultivating tobacco.
Tobacos Serafin is Born
Don Ramon Sr. opens his own cigar factory in Fomento Cuba. It is here where years later Don Ramon Jr. learns the art of cigar making from his father.
Revolution & Exodus
After the Cuban revolution, businesses became nationalized and the Serafin family was forced to close their factory. In 1967 Don Ramon Jr. decides
to leave the island via Spain with his family eventually settling in the United States. Years later his son Arnold is born and soon enough Don Ramon Jr. continues the tradition and begins passing his tobacco knowledge on to him.
