Maria Guerrero Favoritas en Cedro – 1968
The brand
Maria Guerrero is a Cuban brand created in 1930* by José Rodriguez Fernández “Don Pepin” (owner of the Roméo Y Julieta factory). Its name is a tribute to a famous Spanish actress.
Maria Guerrero has become a sister brand to Roméo Y Julieta. At the time of the revolution, the brand had 25 vitolas**.
According to a 1969 catalog there were at least 9 references, 8 in 1971, and only 2 (machine made) in 1976, including the Favoritas in Cedro. The brand still appears in a price list from 1981 but no longer in the Cubataco catalog from 1983.

Favoritas en Cedro
These Maria Guerrero were made shortly before the 60s and discontinued in the early 80s.
The Favoritas en Cedro is a machine-made Petit Corona 40 x 125 (4.9″) individually wrapped in a cedar leaf and presented in a “dress box” of 25 cigars. Packaging similar to that seen on Coronitas en Cedro or Cedros de Luxe at Roméo Y Julieta.
