Quesada Reserva Privada Toro Gordo
The Quesada family, bakers from father to son, arrived in Cuba from Spain in the 17th century, and it was in 1800 that they started their tobacco business when a debt was settled with them in tobacco. They therefore decided, at first, to roll these leaves. Then, following their success, the family decided to grow their own tobacco plants.
Although little known, this brand deserves its reputation and its place among the leading tobacco families. It is an understatement to say that they spare no effort in travelling far and wide to find the finest growing regions and provide the industry with the best plantations.
They launched their brand, and then, when they opened a new plantation, they decided to create a brand bearing its own name: Casa Magna, which some of you may recognise.
This Toro Gordo from the Reserva Privada is an exceptional cigar. 1997 produced an exceptional ‘cosecha’, and it is even said that this tobacco still forms the filler of the cigar you are smoking today.
A smooth, fragrant smoke! Notes of cedar and dried fruit give this cigar unrivalled approachability! Its Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper adorns this elegant cigar, which is undoubtedly a vitola for every day… and every moment!

About Quesada
Having arrived in Cuba from Spain in the late 1800s, the Quesada family was initially unfamiliar with tobacco cultivation. As bakers, they were one day paid off a debt in tobacco, and that is how their story began.
Until 1974, their cigars were produced in Havana. That was the year they opened their first factory in the Dominican Republic.
Today, the fifth generation (Manolo, Patricia, Raquel and Esther) run the family business, which employs over 300 people.
