Few Cuban cigars are as instantly recognizable as Fonseca, a brand defined by its signature tissue-wrapped presentation. Founded by Don Francisco Fonseca in the late 19th century and officially registered in 1907, this elegant touch has become a hallmark of refinement and care.
Today, Fonseca cigars are produced in the quiet town of Quivicán, using select tobaccos from the famed Vuelta Abajo region. The result is a mild and approachable smoke, often noted for its light sweetness and soft herbal undertones—perfect for casual moments or those just beginning their Cuban cigar journey. One Short Filler vitola also features tobacco from the Semi Vuelta region, adding a subtle layer of complexity.
Among the standout vitolas are the classic Cosacos, the gentle and smooth Delicias, the compact KDT Cadetes, and the rare yet refined Fonseca No.1. Each one is made Totally by Hand, whether with Long or Short Filler, keeping alive the artisanal touch that has defined Fonseca for generations.
Discover Fonseca. Mild in strength, rich in character.
Fonseca is renowned for its elegance and unique presentation. Founded in the late 19th century by the Spanish entrepreneur Don Francisco Fonseca—and formally registered in 1907—the brand quickly distinguished itself by wrapping each cigar in an almost transparent tissue paper. This delicate covering both protects the wrapper leaf and helps maintain optimal humidity, giving Fonseca cigars their unmistakable appearance.
Originally rolled in several Havana factories, Cuban production is now centered in the small town of Quivicán in Havana Province. Fonseca’s blend relies on filler and binder tobaccos from Vuelta Abajo, yielding a mild profile with hints of gentle sweetness and aromatic herbal notes—ideal alongside light meals and an excellent introduction to Cuban cigars for newer aficionados. One Short Filler vitola also incorporates leaf from the Semi Vuelta region.
All Fonseca vitolas are crafted Totally by Hand, some with Long Filler and others with Short Filler, preserving the artisanal tradition that has defined the brand for well over a century.
