Founded by Emilio Ahmsted in 1848, the brand name Candus Bensha, like great Havana cigars such as Monte and Romeo Giuliet, is derived from literary classics or characters. Candus Bensha is the second male protagonist in the novel Don Quixote, published by the great Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes. He is a loyal follower of Don Quixote and follows him through many adventures. When you open the lid of the cigar box, you will also see the portrait of Candace Bensha.
