LOS STATOS DE LUXE

Possible clues which could have probably led to the origin of this brand have faded, so its birth is but a riddle. There are versions that it was registered in the Cuban capital city in early twentieth century by a Central European businessman, probably a Hungarian. Others link its origin to a Spaniard whose surname was Martínez. Both versions stand on true-to-life foundations. Certainly, its attractive embellishment abounds with details such as the eagle with features and ornamentations of the most traditional and aristocratic heraldry in Central Europe. However, the embellishment records Martínez, Hno. y Cía, as the brand manufacturers.
