Intertabac 2018 Cornelius & Anthony

May 5, 2022 Inspector Z 3 min read

Intertabac 2018 Cornelius & Anthony. Cornelius & Anthony is a relatively new brand. But with an incredible history in the tobacco industry. For the last three years they have a presence on the Intertabac trade show. Nobody other media could convince Courtney Smith to do a video. She made an exception for us and we are honoured. Courtney shows us the Cornelius & Anthony offerings. We would like to congratulate Cornelius & Anthony again with the Cigar Trophy for ‘best cigar other countries’.

the history

The family behind Cornelius and Anthony is active in tobacco for generations. They are tobacco growers in Virginia. Tobacco for cigarettes. They also make cigarettes and roll-your-own tobacco. A few years ago, Steven Bailey wanted to expand. He loves premium cigars. So the decision to start a premium cigar brand was obvious.

Bailey brings in experienced staff. Todd Vance, former sales manager for A.J. Fernandez. And Courtney Smith, former Vice President of La Palina. And thought their contacts, Cornelius and Anthony starts making cigars. One line, Cornelius, in Miami. At the renowned El Titan de Bronze factory. The production for all the other lines takes place in Esteli, Nicaragua. At Tabacalera La Zona from Erik Espinosa.

The Cornelius line comes from El Titan de Bronze. This small factory in Little Havana, Miami, has a great reputation. For years they are producing great quality cigars. Not just for themselves. They also produce the renowned La Palina Goldie. And cigars for Warped, Padilla, and others. Drew Estate master blender Willy Herrera comes from El Titan de Bronze as well.

La Zona

The other cigars all come from Tabacalera La Zona. The Daddy Mac gets its name from Mac Bailey, Steven’s father. Señor Esugars is the family dog. The Venganza draws inspiration from a machine gun patented by one of the Bailey ancestors. Then there is the Meridian and the areal.

Tabacalera La Zona is a small boutique factory in downtown Esteli, Nicaragua. The factory has a balcony on the second floor with the best view. If you are ever in Esteli, try to get access. Enjoy a view of the city while smoking a great cigar. Preferably a Cornelius & Anthony offering straight from the rolling table.
