Named for this statesman, Henry Clay is one of the oldest original Havana brands, quoted in a poem entitled The Betrothed, penned in 1898 by Rudyard Kipling ("there’s calm in a Henry Clay"). Following the same design as the first Havana Henry Clay cigars, the original Julian Alvarez factory is still featured on the box. As one of the most historically famous brands, the Henry Clay name carries a long, storied tradition of fine cigar making. The cigars are now rolled in the Dominican Republic by the world’s leading cigar maker.
