This brand is backed by 40 years of experience, during which time José Seija was Vice President and General Manager of "Tabacalera de Garcia". But he has no intention of retiring just yet. Together with his son Enrique, he breathed new life into the Matilde brand in 2012, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Founded in 1876, the label disappeared from the market when its owner died at the beginning of the 20th century. The brand's cigars are produced in the "Tabaclera de Palma". The full-bodied "Oscura" series, the somewhat milder "Serena" and the medium-strength "Quadrata" in between. Matilde Sampler" also offers four different robustos.
