Reinado

Reinado — the reign — is the house of Antonio Lam, founded in 2009, whose first line came out at the 2010 IPCPR, rolled by Agros Tabacos Industriales, an Estelí factory this atlas names here without having described it. It had its hour — a Grand Empire Reserve, a following — then it left the market, and the trade press devoted a remembrance article to it in December 2018.

It came back in August 2021, at another factory: TABSA, that of Aganorsa Leaf, whose entry this atlas carries. The line of the return is called Grand Apex, and Lam dedicates it to his father, a Cuban emigrant who arrived with nothing and became vice-president of Chase Manhattan Bank in New York — the summit, apex, the title designates. A 6 × 60 and a C29 followed in 2022.

Then the press fell silent again, and the house's site has published nothing since 2023. A house that has already faded once, and of which one does not know whether it fades a second time: this atlas writes it with that reservation, because the factory is named and the 2021 return is documented — and it would rather correct than have kept quiet.
