What does "y Cia" mean?

Thursday, December 09 2010

Partagas cigar labelQ: What does the lettering "y Cia" on cigar bands stand for? I've seen it on different bands for different cigars so, it must not be a specific trademark, and my Spanish is not fluent...just curious.

A: Good question. After all, not everyone speaks Spanish - yet.  ;-)  Translated, "y Cia" simply means, "and Company." So, for example, "Cifuentes y Cia" is "Cifuentes and Company," which can be found on the bands of all Partagas cigars.
