Rocker Smoke recalls the wicker rocker originally from Cuban, and the recognized pleasure of smoking an Habano accompanied by its rocking.
​
The luxuries and pleasures from a long tradition, with the elegance and quality of current materials.
It represents a sum of pleasures, and the result of uniting the Cuban tradition based on the pleasure of rocking, and the elegance and quality of the current materials.
Like the Habano culture, the pleasure of rocking as well as the rocking chair itself has Cuban origins. More specifically, in the Cuban peasants of the early nineteenth century, who spent their free time between swaying on their stools back legs.
When the French arrived to the east of Cuba due to the revolution, it began a fusion of customs. Among them, the habit that formerly belonged to the peasants, to incline the stool or any chair and to balance. But the straight back was not comfortable and the chairs legs ended up broken or unleashed.
And at the end of the nineteenth century the solution was given to the problem. They cut the legs to the stool, two wooden rockers were added, and arching the back they found with the rocking chair. It was so comfortable, that it was very easy that his custom would soon spread, with the tradition of having tea or coffee outdoors, or sitting down to smoke tobacco after eating.
That is why for Cubans, a rocking chair is much more than a seat, it is an image of their identity, an habit.
Today they are still present in most Cuban homes. They are part of their culture; the Cuban is a worker, inventor, conversationalist, dances, plays dominoes ... and sits in the rocking chair of the portal to catch fresh air.
