Manolo Quesada 75th Anniversary Cigars celebrate the storied life of a true aficionado whose dedication to the art of tobacco has resulted in a classic smoke. Built to mark the 75th birthday of longtime brand manager Manuel “Manolo” Quesada Jr, the blend was personally supervised by Manolo to craft a stick worthy of this new stage in his life. Quesada knows better than most what it takes to craft a singular cigar, as his family has been in the cigar business since he was a boy. Having first started in the Cuban market, the Quesada’s left the country in 1960 and came to America. With nothing more than $100, the Quesada family set up a small cigar factory that soon blossomed into the beloved brand enjoyed today. The 75th Anniversary utilized a loving blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco, capped with an exalted Nicaraguan binder, and delicately rolled into a distinguished Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper. The result is a cigar the manages to radiate all the experience and history put into it with aplomb.
