El Titan De Bronze

El Titan De Bronze represents one of America's most distinguished boutique cigar manufacturers, operating from the heart of Miami's Little Havana since 1995. This family-owned factory has established itself as a premier destination for handcrafted premium cigars, employing exclusively Cuban Level 9 master rollers who previously worked at legendary Havana factories such as Romeo y Julieta, Corona, and Partagás. The factory has gained widespread recognition as the producer of elite cigar lines for Drew Estate, Warped, La Palina, Padilla, Cornelius & Anthony, and more. Due to the high standards placed upon their rollers, cigars are made in small quantities to ensure quality and consistency that only a boutique manufacturer can produce. What sets El Titan apart is their commitment to having the same roller make the same cigar consistently, something larger factories cannot achieve.

Background

El Titan De Bronze was founded in 1995 by Sandy Cobas, a Cuban-American entrepreneur who started the factory in Miami with a vision of preserving authentic Cuban cigar-making traditions. Originally operating under the name La Herencia Cubana (Cuban Heritage Cigars), the factory was rebranded to El Titan De Bronze after Sandy's divorce, when her father found a new location in Little Havana on Eighth Street. Sandy's entry into the cigar industry came in her forties when she was running a high-end boutique liquor store and wanted to add cigars to pair with liquor, but couldn't find suppliers who met her standards, leading her to create her own. The factory began as one of Little Havana's chinchalles (small cigar factories), initially producing local brands for walk-in tourists before gaining notoriety by making cigars for well-known companies like La Palina, Padilla, and Warped. After success with craft brands, larger entities like Drew Estate and General Cigar Co. began gravitating to the Miami factory.

History

El Titan De Bronze was named after Antonio Maceo Grajales, known as 'The Bronze Titan' for his exceptional physical strength and resistance to bullet and blade injuries, who fought in the Cuban revolution with the motto about reaching freedom or perishing for his country's redemption. The factory celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025, marking three decades of uncompromising commitment to quality and Cuban heritage. Over the past few years, the small Miami-based factory has partnered with General Cigar Co. to release limited editions, including four different Cohiba Serie M vitolas, the La Gloria Cubana 8th Street in 2022, and the Partagas de Bronce in 2023. In recent years, Sandy's daughter Gisselle Herrera, nicknamed 'Master G,' has stepped into the blending spotlight as the creative force behind recent hits like the COHIBA M and the Redemption.

Reputation

Once considered a hidden gem in the world of premium cigars, El Titan de Bronze has proved one of the most exciting success stories of the past decade-plus. The factory became renowned for its expert craftsmanship, employing only Category 9 torcedores, many of whom began their careers at some of Cuba's most celebrated factories. Nestled on the world-famous Calle Ocho in the heart of Little Havana, the El Titan De Bronze factory is more than just a place of craftsmanship—it is a living tribute to Cuban cigar-making tradition. El Titan de Bronze has evolved from a tiny operation to being distributed by one of the largest cigar companies in the world, with success built on hard work, dedication, respect for the industry, and attention to detail and quality. El Titan de Bronze stands out as a rare gem, being one of the last cigar factories still operating in the United States.
