Few names on cigar labels were as sentimental as "First Love," and this one ties that romantic appeal to a place. Vuelta Abajo, in the western part of Cuba's Pinar del Río province, is widely regarded as the country's finest tobacco-growing district, so the label promises a premium leaf from that region. Makers of this period often used lithographed labels like this one to sell a cigar's mood as much as its flavor, pairing a tender title with decorative color. Its Valentine's Day placement reflects how cigar brands drew on romance to win buyers.
