Under the leadership of Don Pepin Rodriguez,a gifted promoter who was one of the first to understand the cigar band's potency,the brand achieved worldwide renown in the early 1900s. In his prime,at least 20,000 distinct bands were employed in the cigar-making process. The factory name for cigars this shape is Caprichos,from the Spanish word meaning whims.
