Charles Fairmorn: History and Present of a Cigar Brand
Let’s start with the less pleasant news: the Charles Fairmorn brand no longer exists. However, this does not mean that the company has disappeared from the scene. With its fascinating history, the company remains active in the cigar business. It was founded in the 1970s in the USA, followed by a German branch in Hamburg.
In the 1980s, the parent company in the USA closed its doors, and changes also took place in Germany after reunification. Charles Fairmorn relocated its headquarters from the Hanseatic city of Hamburg to the quieter town of Dingelstädt in Thuringia, a place with a long tradition in the tobacco industry. Today, the company is back in the north, with its headquarters in Lübeck.
Charles Fairmorn: Cigars Under New Names
When it is said that the brand no longer exists, it means that no cigars are produced under the Charles Fairmorn name anymore. Instead, the tobacco products are now marketed under the brands Belmore, Quisqueya, and Personales. These brands offer high-quality Dominican cigars, which are highly popular among aficionados.
Tradition and Enjoyment: Charles Fairmorn Remains Present
Although no longfiller cigars are produced under the Charles Fairmorn name anymore, the name still appears in the market. In particular, the Santa Cruz cigarillos help keep the brand’s memory alive.
The Santa Cruz cigarillos are available in four formats and promise a pleasant smoking experience. Charles Fairmorn also continues to offer something for pipe enthusiasts: With the Sundowner, the brand remains well-known among pipe smokers under the slogan “Quality by Tradition.”
