Diplomatic relations between Cuba and Japan officially began in December 1929, and this year marks the 90th anniversary of this relationship.

In the 1940s, Cuba experienced an unprecedented economic boom due to the expanding demand for sugar. CYS also reached its peak, with many famous people of the time, including writer Ernest Hemingway, actor Clark Gable, politician Winston Churchill, and physicist Albert Einstein, on Cuervo y Sobrinos' customer list. However, the brand was forced to suspend operations due to political instability, including the Cuban Revolution. At the end of the 20th century, the brand made a full-scale comeback. Currently based in Renoirmont, Switzerland, the brand produces elegant models with a Havana flair.
