Bock was the very first cigar ever to sport a cigar band, which was invented by Gustav Bock back in 1850. From 1850 till about 1950 Bock was the largest selling long-filler cigar on the planet. Then it disappeared completely. Bock y Ca. Edicion de Oro was re-introduced to the market by Altadis USA in 2007. They did so to compliment their other lines of inexpensive premium brands such as Gispert from Honduras, and VegaFina from the Dominican Republic. Now hand-made off shore in Nicaragua, this medium-bodied brand, with a Sumatra-seed wrapper, provides some absolutely fantastic cigars for a real bargain! Packed in humidor-quality boxes of 20 or bundles of 25. Please note: we only carry the bundles at this time.
