León Jimenes: un siglo en el camino nacional, 1903-2003.2 The book divides company history in four periods, each of which coincides with an accepted periodisation of Dominican tobacco history during the century in question.

And in this atmosphere of free industrial and commercial enterprise Havana tobacco, by the unanimous plebiscite of the world, was awarded the imperial scepter of the tobacco world. Havana tobacco from then on became the symbol of the triumphant capitalistic bourgeoisie. The nineteenth century was the era of the cigar. 2 Cuban ethnographer Fernando Ortiz blazed new ground in the Cuba of 1940 with the publication of his seminal work on transculturation, by fashioning a Cuban contrapunteo (counterpoint) out of Cuba’s two major commodities: tobacco and sugar, encapsulated in the proud cigar band versus the lowly sugar sack.
