Bemerkung:
EA. Von Alejandro Robaina auf Vorsatz signiert und datiert. - «Alejandro Robaina (March 20, 1919 – April 17, 2010) was a Cuban tobacco grower. Robaina was born in Alquízar in La Habana Province of Cuba but he grew up and lived most of his life in the renowned tobacco-growing Vuelta Abajo district of Pinar del Río Province where his family had been growing tobacco since 1845. He became involved with his family's tobacco growing business at the age of ten, having smoked his first cigar just shortly before then. He took over the operations of the plantation after the death of his father Maruto Robaina—also an acclaimed tobacco grower—in 1950 and remained an independent grower even after the 1959 Cuban Revolution when plantations were often absorbed into cooperative organizations» (Wikipedia).
