The founding of Fonseca Cigars by Don Francisco Fonseca

Don Francisco Fonseca founded the Fonseca Cigars brand in the 1890s and imbued it with his personal elegance. Known for his well-groomed appearance, he applied this meticulous attention to detail to his cigars. A distinctive feature of Fonseca Cigars is their packaging in tissue paper, a tradition that underlines the exclusivity and fine quality of these Habanos and is continued to this day across all Fonseca formats.

Fonseca Cigars: A Masterpiece of Blending

Fonseca cigars are characterised by their delicate blend, which consists primarily of filler and binder leaves from the renowned Vuelta Abajo tobacco region. These carefully selected tobaccos make Fonseca the perfect choice for a mild after-dinner cigar. Furthermore, Fonseca’s short-fillers are sourced from the Semi Vuelta tobacco-growing region, which lends them unique flavour nuances appreciated by both seasoned aficionados and occasional smokers alike.
