The History of Detroit Cigar Industry.
During the Detroit cigar industry history San Telmo was one of the oldest and the most neighborhoods cigar factory in Buenos Aires. Definitely, he appropriated the name from that city of Detroit. That community transmitted this name because it is the location of the parish of San Pedro Gonzalez Telmo, the patron saint of mariners.Detroit became one of the nation’s leading tobacco production centers in the late Nineteenth Century. The availability of high-quality tobacco from nearby Ontario is one reason. The presence of many Germans who enjoyed cigars and knew how to make excellent ones is another. Those immigrants and the availability of high quality locally-grown tobacco explains why Detroit became one of the nation’s leading centers for manufacturing cigars and cut plug tobacco in the decades before 19th century.
In the late 19th century the San Telmo Cigar Manufacturing Company, in Detroit is also important outstanding to its connection with the development of Detroit’s labor movement in the 1910s. Detroit’s cigar industry began in 1841 with a small operation controlled by George Miller. The first Detroit major enterprise, the Hiawatha Tobacco Factory, was established in 1856 by David Scotten. By the 1864 there was seven large tobacco manufacturers company’s in the Detroit city.
