The name of the newly launched cigar collection stems from the time of WWII when England needed to keep its currency within the commonwealth to support the war effort. As the Brits were among the world\u2019s largest buyers of Cuban cigars at that time, many Cuban cigar masters expatriated to British-held Jamaica to continue to supply this important market. The Temple Hall cigar factory quickly became a big-time player. When the Temple Hall factory was acquired by General Cigar in the 1960s, Edgar Cullman, then chairman of the company, saw tremendous promise in Ram\u00f3n and ultimately transferred him to the Dominican Republic where he played a pivotal role in developing the company\u2019s strict standards for cigar making and quality assurance.<\/p>\n<p>Justin Andrews, sales manager for Foundry Tobacco Company had this to say about the brand, \u201cTemple Hall Estates pays homage to the factory in Jamaica, and the people who shared Ram\u00f3n Cifuentes\u2019 love for the art of cigar making. This new line is made in Santiago, DR, according to the techniques set forth at Temple Hall by Ram\u00f3n.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrews noted, Temple Hall Estates rounds out the Foundry Tobacco Company portfolio by offering a mild, smooth-smoking cigar not previously represented in the FTC Heritage Series which includes Ram\u00f3n Allones and Bolivar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Temple Hall Estates is available in four sizes, and is now shipping to cigar retailers across the U.S.<\/p>\n<h3>Foundry Temple Hall Estates<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Origin:<\/strong> Dom.
