Sartorial Elegance
FonsecaCuban national and founder Francisco Fonseca was known as a tobacco expert and a well-respected businessman, who established a modest cigar manufacturing operation as early as 1892 in Havana. His namesake brand first received its registered trademark in 1907. Early in the 20th Century, the Fonseca cigar was manufactured in several different Havana cigar factories. Today, Fonseca cigars are produced in Quivicán, a small town in the province of Havana. However, Fonseca’s ambitions went well beyond the small island nation, expanding his cigar manufacturing operations to New York State, under the name F.E Fonseca & Co. in just thirteen short years.
The sensibility of this international, well-regarded man known for his sartorial elegance is apparent in the presentation of each Fonseca cigar. Fonsecas are the only Cuban cigars to be wrapped in fine white paper, a feature that not only “shields the cigar from atmospheric changes” but also presents it with a visual appeal. The Fonseca boasts being the first brand to implement the use of metal (tin) tubes for safeguarding back in the early 20th century, well before the introduction of the aluminum tubes.
