Belinda Princess
The Belinda Princess was a machine-made Cuban cigar that served as part of the Belinda brand portfolio for approximately fourteen years. Introduced to the market in 1989, this cigar remained in production until its discontinuation in 2003, making it a relatively short-lived addition to the regular production lineup.
Vitola Information
Within Cuban cigar terminology, the Princess was known by its factory vitola name "Epicures." This designation refers to the specific size and format of the cigar, which places it in the smaller-to-medium category of Cuban offerings.

Construction and Presentation
The Belinda Princess was constructed using machine-made production methods rather than hand-rolling techniques. This manufacturing approach was common for certain Cuban cigar lines and offered consistent construction at an accessible price point.
The cigar featured the standard Band A design associated with the Belinda brand. Each cigar was individually wrapped in cellophane and packaged in dress boxes containing 25 cigars, providing both protection and an attractive presentation for retailers and consumers.
