Cigar History in the 1960s

[CigarSkip]

I am a playwright, and I am writing a play that includes a couple of guys who smoke cigars in 1966. The characters are upscale entertainment types in NYC. Can anyone tell me what cigars these two guys might smoke in that region and era.

(I, myself, am from Central Florida and remember the myriad of brick warehouses in Tampa when I was a kid. Now? Not so many.) I was just in Cuba a year ago and took a cigar rolling tour. The people that ran the cigar rolling business were very unfriendly, but the rollers were quite friendly.

Anyway, if anyone can give me a history of cigars in the 1960s, I would greatly appreciate it.
