fonseca cigar Founded in 1891 by Francisco Fonseca, the brand was manufactured in a small factory located on Dragones Street in Havana. It was sung by the poet Federico García Lorca: “I will go to Santiago with the blond head of a Fonseca.”

Blends of tobacco varieties from the Vuelta Abajo region make Fonseca an ideal cigar after light meals.
