We take a look at the long and interesting history of cigars, as well as some tips on how to really smoke a cigar like a pro. Who Invented Cigars? Historians generally believe that the cigar was invented by the ancient Mayans, who would wrap the tobacco in a palm or plantain leaf and smoke it. Archaeologists have even discovered an ancient Mayan jar from the 10th century that depicts a Mayan man blowing on one of these very first cigars. When Christopher Columbus came to the New World, he was one of the first Westerners to discover tobacco. The local Indians showed him how they smoked tobacco leaves and Columbus and his lieutenants quickly adopted the habit. When they brought the idea home, smoking became very popular in Spain and Portugal. The French ambassador to Portugal, Jean Nicot, popularized smoking in France and nicotine is named after him. It was at this time that Spanish manufacturers began to package dried tobacco in paper instead of leaves. After that, many companies started growing tobacco and cigars in mass production. Cuba became a very popular place to grow tobacco plants because of the fertile soil and warm climate. Soon a Cuban tobacco growing industry was created and sailboats distributed the tobacco grown in Cuba from Europe to Asia. Columbus had claimed Cuba for Spain and meanwhile the Spaniards dominated the tobacco industry. They even placed a monopoly on the harvest that lasted until 1817, prohibiting any Cuban grower from selling to anyone but them.
