"Cigars are no longer just for the seasoned smoker.
They have become a staple in society for rookies and veterans alike,
representing an air of character, class and pleasure. Whether it's a
satisfying smoke after dinner, during a round of golf, or out at the
bar for drinks, cigars are the perfect complement to your lifestyle
because that is exactly what defines cigar smoking:
-- your lifestyle. Welcome to the good life!"

Belinda cigars have a history as a very appreciated Cuban cigar brand, which started out in 1882. The brand was discontinued in the mid 1960's and later this full-flavored Belinda brand was re-introduced by Cubatabaco as a machine-made Cuban cigar in 1987.
The Belinda cigars brand aimed primarily at the Eastern European market, with whom Cuba had strong trade relations at the time. This might explain the small size of this Cuban cigar range, which are after being re-introduced, completely machine-made, or machine-bunched with a hand-rolled wrapper.
Circa 2005, the Belinda cigar range was deleted from the Habanos portfolio.
