In 1856 Ybor founded his own company in Havana, Cuba and began manufacturing his El Principe de Gales("Prince of Wales") brand. The brand quickly became popular, and Ybor's factory was soon producing 20,000 cigars a day. In his personal life, Ybor remarried in 1862. He and his wife Mercedes de las Revillas would have eight additional children.
