The geography of the modern cigar can also be traced through family histories. Migration carried people with agricultural and manufacturing experience to new territories.

Plasencia relates that its family left Cuba in 1965 and rebuilt its activity in Nicaragua, with cultivation in Jalapa. Its timeline places a move of operations to Danlí and Jamastrán, Honduras, in 1978, and the return to Nicaragua in 1990. These milestones connect three countries within one business trajectory.

The timeline helps to understand a house linked to several countries. The family history and the place where a cigar is made work on different scales. In this story, Cuba provides the beginning of the trajectory recounted, and Nicaragua and Honduras appear as places of agricultural and industrial reconstruction.
