Four generations of tobacco tradition, crafted into exceptional cigars.
01

A Legacy of Tobacco

The Quesada family's involvement in the tobacco industry dates back to the 1880s in Cuba, initially as tobacco brokers. After the Cuban Revolution, Manuel Quesada, representing the family's fourth generation, moved to the Dominican Republic. In 1974, he established Manufactura de Tabacos S.A. (MATASA) in Santiago, which evolved from a brokerage into a full-fledged cigar manufacturing operation, building on decades of family expertise.

Refined Blending and Construction

Quesada cigars are characterized by their balanced and consistent profiles, often showcasing a refined complexity. The brand is known for its meticulous attention to detail in both blending and construction, ensuring a smooth draw and even burn. While they utilize a variety of tobaccos from different regions, their Dominican roots often shine through in the nuanced flavors and aromas of their creations.

Key Lines and Innovations

Among Quesada's well-regarded lines are the Quesada 1974, a tribute to the factory's founding, and the Selección España, known for its unique Ecuadorian Arapiraca wrapper. They also produce the popular Casa Magna brand, which has received critical acclaim. The company continues to innovate, offering a diverse portfolio that caters to various strength and flavor preferences while maintaining their signature quality.
