Quesada Cigars Event

In the late 1800s they began their tobacco business when a debt to the family was paid with tobacco. In 1929, in searching for new and different tobaccos, the Quesada family arrived in the Dominican Republic, but the company remained based in Havana, Cuba until the 1960’s. A new company was formed by the Quesada family to handle  manufacturing in the Dominican Republic. This new firm, Manufactura de Tabacos, S.A. (MATASA), was established in a new free trade zone in Santiago in June 1974. Today Manolo Quesada works with his two daughters, Patricia and Raquel and his niece Esther Quesada, Alvaro’s daughter. Now the fifth generation of the Quesada Family runs the manufacturing facility with over 300 people keeping the tradition of making premium cigars. Come in and enjoy Quesada Cigars with us.
