He initially interpreted the coast as the edge of the Asian mainland (\u201eCathay\u201c). His errors were quickly corrected, but the basic fact remains: The admiral mapped sections of the Cuban coast and reported friendly encounters with the inhabitants. For terms and names, please see the fact check below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wo-genau-setzte-kolumbus-an-land\">Where exactly did Columbus set foot on land?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Research places the landing site in what is now the province of Holgu\u00edn. The Bay of Bariay is often cited as the site of the first landing. The exact location is disputed; the arrival on the north-eastern coast of Cuba at the end of October 1492 is certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vor-kolumbus-taino-ciboney-und-guanahatabey\">Before Columbus: Ta\u00edno, Ciboney and Guanahatabey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before 1492, Cuba was inhabited by various indigenous groups. It is assumed that the island of Cuba has been inhabited for around 10,000 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the 15th century, the Ta\u00edno, Arawak-speaking village communities with complex social structures under hereditary chiefs (caciques), made up the largest proportion. There is also evidence of the Ciboney (often associated with cave dwellers) and the Guanahatabey, a hunter-gatherer population living in western Cuba, who were linguistically and culturally distinct from the Ta\u00edno. Archaeology and sources point to several waves of migration to the Caribbean, beginning with early hunter-gatherers and later Arawak migrations from northern South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kuba_geschichte_text_teil_1.jpg\" alt=\"Columbus and Cuba\" class=\"wp-image-1679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kuba_geschichte_text_teil_1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kuba_geschichte_text_teil_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kuba_geschichte_text_teil_1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kuba_geschichte_text_teil_1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kuba_geschichte_text_teil_1-624x416.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kolumbus-und-kuba-die-landung-interpretiert-von-chat-gpt\">Columbus and Cuba: The Landing interpreted by ChatGPT.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"getrocknete-blatter-zusammengerollt-die-erste-europaische-beobachtung-des-rauchens\">\u201eDried leaves, rolled up\u201c: The first European observation of smoking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The earliest European description of tobacco smoking comes directly from the area surrounding the landing: Columbus sent Rodrigo de Jerez and Luis de Torres inland on 2 November 1492. The report, handed down in the summary by Bartolom\u00e9 de las Casas, records that locals formed dried leaves into rolls, lit one end and drew in the smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f The designation of these roles is not completely standardised in the earliest sources. <strong>please read the fact check below<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fermentation-erst-spater-standardisiert\">Fermentation: only standardised later<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The early colonial descriptions show that the indigenous practice primarily involved drying and bundling the leaves. Controlled fermentation - i.e. the \u201esweating\u201c of large quantities of leaves in piles with temperature control and restacking - is a later refinement of the colonial and modern cigar trade. To this day, specialised dictionaries describe the process chain as a sequence of harvesting, drying, maturing\/storage and (in the case of cigar leaves) fermentation. But please note: tobacco cannot be consumed without fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cohoba-ist-nicht-tabak\">Cohoba is not tobacco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the smoking of leaf rolls, a ritual snuff is known from the Greater Antilles: Cohoba. This is a powder made from the seeds of the yopo tree (Anadenanthera peregrina) with the active ingredients DMT and bufotenin, which is inhaled via Y-shaped tubes. Cohoba and tobacco must therefore be strictly distinguished: One is a hallucinogenic ritual preparation, the other a stimulant and medicinal plant that was smoked and snuffed. Please read the fact check below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wie-kam-der-tabak-nach-kuba\">How did tobacco get to Cuba?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Botanically, cultivated smoking tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is a hybrid of N. sylvestris (maternal line) and N. tomentosiformis (paternal line), which originated in the Andes region of South America. Genome studies confirm this origin. From there, tobacco spread northwards long before 1492 - via trade and migration networks of Arawak-speaking groups to the Greater Antilles. Cultivated plants, knowledge and ritual practices, including smoking, travelled with them to Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vom-rauchbundel-zur-habanos-kultur\">From bundles of smoke to Habanos culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The indigenous practice of smoking was therefore established in Cuba when Columbus landed. What later became the Habanos culture - elaborate cultivation, sophisticated fermentation and skilful rolling - emerged under colonial conditions and developed over centuries into a cultural technique in its own right. The path from dried leaf bundle to premium cigar shows how deeply prehistory and early history are intertwined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fakten-check-tabacos-cohiba-cohoba-und-warum-begriffe-oft-verwechselt-werden\">\u26a0\ufe0f Fact check: \u201etabacos\u201c, \u201eCohiba\u201c, \u201ecohoba\u201c - and why terms are often confused<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1) \u201e... llaman ellos tabacos\u201c (Las Casas): In the tradition of the Columbus Journal by Bartolom\u00e9 de las Casas, the smoke rolls appear as \u201etabacos\u201c.

The practice of smoking is undoubtedly documented before 1492; the later cigar processes (fermentation etc.) are colonial and modern refinements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"weiter-in-der-serie-history-kuba\">Continue in the series \u201eHistory Cuba\u201c<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#c0c0c0\"><strong>This was part 1 of the series \u201eHistory Cuba\u201c.<\/strong> <strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/en\/cuba-history-part-2-colonial-rule\/\">Continue to Part 2: Colonial rule and Chinchales<\/a><\/strong> <strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/en\/history-kuba-zigarren-serie-start\/\">To the complete overview<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bildnachweis\">Picture credits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cover elements: ChatGPT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Image in text: ChatGPT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ressourcen-zum-thema\">Curated for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>External website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.habanos-club.de\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Habanos Club Germany<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At Origin Of Cigar:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/en\/subscribe\/\">Fancy even more history about Cuba cigars?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Historical Habanos manufactories documentary film<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this film, their stories - and their true faces - are uncompromisingly revealed.
