Matilde Quadrata Robusto is a box-pressed Dominican Republic cigar wrapped in an Ecuadorian Habano leaf with Dominican binder and a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan filler. It delivers earth, cedar, toast, cocoa and citrus notes with occasional spice woven through a medium profile from first light to nub. The box-pressed shape and blend reflect the Seijas family’s modern revival of the Matilde brand, drawing on decades of experience to balance the tobacco components for a consistent, natural flavour progression. This size suits a shorter session, pairing well with espresso or a mellow aged rum beside relaxed conversation.

Matilde Cigars:
Matilde Cigars was established in 1876 in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, and became one of the country’s early premium cigar manufacturers. The brand built a reputation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries before production eventually ceased. In 2014, the Seijas family—well known for decades of cigar-making experience in the Dominican Republic—revived Matilde, restoring the name with renewed focus on traditional craftsmanship and balanced blending. Today, Matilde continues to be produced in Santiago, linking its 19th-century origins with modern Dominican cigar expertise while maintaining the heritage of one of the country’s historic marques.
