Band History
During its early production period, the Policromia Blue featured two distinct bands: the standard La Corona Policromia band accompanied by a secondary blue band. However, a notable transition occurred during the 1970s when the presentation was simplified to a single Poli-cromia Blue band.
Brand Evolution
A significant transformation took place in the late 1970s when the Policromia line shifted from operating under the La Corona brand umbrella to standing as its own distinct label. This change meant that later production carried only Poli-cromia branding without reference to the La Corona marque.
Production Timeline
The Policromia Blue entered the market prior to 1960, making it a pre-revolution era release. Production continued for approximately two decades before the cigar was ultimately discontinued during the 1980s. Today, surviving examples represent genuine vintage Cuban cigar collectibles.
