A Legacy Rolled by Hand
From the fields of La Romana to the hearts of cigar lovers around the world.
Founded in 1876, Matilde Cigars is one of the oldest names in Dominican tobacco history. Revived in 2014 by José Seijas and his sons, the brand stands as a tribute to a family’s dedication to craftsmanship, patience, and passion. Each cigar carries the essence of generations — a story told through flavor, balance, and precision.
At Matilde, cigar making is more than a process — it’s a tradition of excellence. From hand-selecting the finest tobaccos to the meticulous rolling and aging of each cigar, every step is guided by the principles José Seijas built his legacy on: integrity, passion, and precision.
Handmade Quality
Matilde represents the balance between tradition and innovation. Each blend, from the smooth Serena to the bold Quadrata, reflects our philosophy: to honor the past while crafting the future.
Proudly Dominican. Universally Admired.
Every Matilde cigar is a piece of Dominican artistry — cultivated in rich soils, perfected by master hands, and shared with aficionados around the world. From La Romana to New York, Toronto, and beyond, our cigars carry the warmth of our island and the pride of our heritage.
