Cuban Memorabilia 1940-1950 - 06

The image presents a rich display of Lavín Distillery liquors, including rum, gin, whiskey, crème de banana, pineapple liqueur, and anis, all with ornate mid‑century labels and some bottles wrapped in wicker. A poster in the background proclaims “Los 5 más famosos”, underscoring Lavín’s branding as a diversified Cuban liquor house. Surrounding the bottles are typical objects of 1940–1950s Cuba: cigars (Hoyo 25 Coronations), cigarette packs (Susini and H Upmann), a copy of Diario de la Marina newspaper, and decorative maracas. Together, these items evoke Havana’s vibrant material culture—spirits, tobacco, music, and print—capturing the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Cuba’s golden pre‑Revolution era.
