Quintero Cigars
Quintero cigars provide an earthy, medium-bodied profile using tobaccos from Cuba's Vuelta Abajo region. The brand positions itself as a budget-friendly option within the Cuban cigar market.
Heritage and Production
Founded in Cienfuegos rather than Havana, Quintero initially operated outside Cuba’s traditional cigar hub. The brand transitioned to hand-rolled production methods using tripa larga leaves after the nationalization of Cuba’s cigar industry.
