La Escepción is one of the discontinued Cuban cigar brands.

La Escepción was a pre-revolution Cuban cigar brand introduced in the 1850's. Production decreased in the 1980's and it was eventually discontinued 1989.

The name of these Cuban cigars is La Escepcion, but had to be La Excepcion (meaning exception in English). So this misspelling became one of the most famous in the history of Havana cigars.

This Cuban cigar brand has always been linked to Hoyo de Monterrey and after being sold several times, it finally remains in the hands of the firm F. Palacio y Cia.

Production was not at all affected by the Revolution and eight models were listed in Cubatabaco official catalogue. It was in the 80's decade when a drop in production can be appreciated, perhaps because the most remarkable characteristic of these cigars, their extreme strength, is no longer liked by the customers. The brand was discontinued in 1989.

There is a non-Cuban cigar brand with the same name.
