Introducing Corduroy Dreams: A Velvety Experience
Immerse yourself in a sensation of nostalgia and reminiscence with our "Corduroy Dreams" cigar. This term, so full of imagery, encapsulates a yearning for simpler, more peaceful times. It's all about indulging in fond memories and seeking comfort in bygone eras.
In 2021, together with Enrique and Raquel, we created a blend that was incredibly balanced, bursting with flavor, and richly nuanced. Though this cigar didn’t see the light until a year later, it's taste tests were reminiscent of a journey back in time. "Corduroy Dreams" encapsulated this curious feeling - triggering a pleasant sort of nostalgia - the reason why this cigar was worth the wait.
Available in a selected array of sizes, Corduroy Dreams is testament to smooth craftsmanship. It provides you with a velvety indulgence, peppered with hints of spice. The aroma of hay notes is intertwined with the decadence of butter pecan undertones. Truly, a cigar like no other, this is an experience waiting to be unraveled.

About The Cigar Factory
Manufactura De Tabacos SA / Quesada / Manolo Quesada
Long spanning over a century, the Quesada family has rooted themselves deeply into the fabric of the tobacco industry. Initially immigrants from Spain, their early days were spent in the humble profession of baking after settling in Cuba. However, the late 1800s saw the initiation of their venture into tobacco, a venture sparked by the repayment of a debt with tobacco instead of money.
The quest for fresh, undiscovered tobacco varieties led the Quesadas to the shores of the Dominican Republic in 1929. Despite this expansion, they held onto their base in Havana, Cuba until the turbulent 1960s. It was during this period that the Quesada family laid the groundwork for the Manufactura de Tabacos, S.A. (MATASA) - a new entity handling their manufacturing process in the Dominican Republic.
Established in a blossoming free trade zone in Santiago in June 1974, MATASA hit the ground running as a modest venture with only three rollers. However, it wasn't long until the count increased to 35, setting the firm on a path of exponential growth.
In the early days of the new millennium, Manolo Quesada assembled a promising management team that included his brother Alvaro Quesada, his nephew Alvarito, and general manager Julio Fajardo. Unfortunately, a tragic plane crash in April 2002 led to their untimely demise, leaving Manolo at the helm of the enterprise.
Today, the relay baton of the Quesada legacy has been handed to his two daughters, Patricia and Raquel, as well as his niece, Esther Quesada - Alvaro's daughter. Holding the mantle of the fifth generation of the Quesada family, they currently manage a robust manufacturing facility with a workforce of over 300 dedicated individuals, passionately maintaining the traditional art of crafting premium cigars.
