 Corporacion Habanos' version of Guantanamera was launched in Dortmund, Germany, on September 14, 2002, and was made internationally available in October of the same year.The brand was named after the song "Guajira Guantanamera" (Spanish for 'peasant girl from Guantánamo') by José Fernández Díaz.Unlike nearly every other cigar blend produced in Cuba, the tobacco used in the brand comes from the Vuelta Arriba region, which is located in the middle of Cuba, rather than the Vuelta Abajo in Pinar del Río.
