About

We are a premium hand rolled cigar company headquartered right here in the historic main street of Fredericksburg.  Our cigars were born in Cuba and raised in Texas.  Our cigars are old Cuban styled cigar; hand rolled in our factory in Nicaragua with our trade secret third fermentation recipes and process created by Cesar Rameriz. Cuban born and raised, cut off from his country labeled as a non-conformist, Cesar has spent the last 30 years in his Las Vegas Labatory perfecting our trade secret blends, recipes, rolling techniques and third fermentation processes.  We are the only cigar brand using a third fermentation process in the US.  The only other cigar that used the third fermentation was Castro with his own personal cigars.   No one else!  We have broken that code and are sharing this super smooth, creamy, not bitter or harsh aftertaste cigar with the world. 

Named in honor of the place where Columbus first encountered the sacred smoke of the Taino people, Bariay 1492 pays homage to the island of Bariay in Cuba where the cigar was born. Every cigar we craft by hand is part of that lineage. It’s not only a ritual but a reconnection of this lost art of Cuban cigars.

Whether you're new to cigars or a seasoned aficionado, this is your place to learn, explore, and celebrate the art. We're here to pass on knowledge, spark conversation, and keep the tradition of true craftsmanship alive. Rediscover the lost art, one entry at a time.
