of Delaware – Wikipedia
From
Wikipedia's History
of Delaware page:
"The
history of Delaware as
a political entity dates back to the early colonization of North
American by European settlers. It is made up of three counties
established since 1680, before the time ofWilliam
Penn.
Each had its own settlement history. Their early inhabitants tended
to identify more closely with the county than the colony or state.
Large parts of southern and western Delaware were thought to have
been in Maryland until
1767. All of the state has existed in the wide economic and political
circle of Philadelphia."

"According
to Best Premium Cigar of the World and tobacco and wine specialist
James Suckling, Cuban cigars from Habanos S.A. took the majority in
the list of the Top 10 (2012). The expert said he has been smoking
Cuban cigars during 2012, and would still call havanas one of the
most amazing cigars."
