Don Francisco E. Fonseca founded his namesake cigar brand in 1907. He placed great emphasis on presentation, and every Fonseca cigar is wrapped in a delicate white tissue paper to protect it from temperature changes – making it the first and only brand to adopt this method, a refined tradition that continues to this day. The brand’s band features both the Statue of Liberty and Cuba’s Morro Castle, symbolizing the historical ties between the two nations in 1906.
