Cuervo y Sobrinos – ROBUSTO Pedro Murias Edition 2024
Working in collaboration with the prestigious retailer of epicurean delights, The House of Grauer, Cuervo y Sobrinos has crafted a vintage-themed limited edition watch. The Robusto Pedro Murias pays homage to the son of Cuba and the home of its extraordinary business, ‘La Meridiana Fabrica de tabacos de Pedro Murias’. With its salmon dial, tastefully enriched with nuanced details, a 38.5 mm steel case equipped with an automatic Swiss movement, this latest model is designed to appeal to watch enthusiasts, cigar aficionados and individuals who appreciate Cuban design. “We are very proud of this collaboration with House of Grauer; this partnership fully reflects Cuervo y Sobrinos DNA,” said Massimo Rossi, CEO of the company.
Pedro Murias began making cigars in the 1860s in a modest workshop in downtown Havana. As the popularity for cigars grew, so did Murias’ reputation. Ultimately, in 1882, such was the enormous demand for his products, Murias moved to a new two-storey building, ‘La Meridiana Fabrica de tabacos de Pedro Murias’

In the latter part of the 19th century, the Cuban War of Independence (1895-1898) significantly impacted on Pedro’s company. Industrial action at La Meridiana and difficulties in obtaining supplies of tobacco, blighted its business, ultimately leading to it being sold in parts to both English and American buyers. The former cigar factory still stands but is nowadays intended for residential use.
