Our History
Our original company was founded in 1987 in Havana, Cuba, stemming from the tobacco expertise of Jose Manuel Guira. The Tobacconist “Tabaqueros” brought 75 years of experience in cultivating and manufacturing tobacco.
As the fourth generation, we proudly continue our family’s tradition of growing premium tobacco and hand-rolling exceptional cigars. My mother, a third-generation member, is a skilled Master Roller inspired by her grandfather’s love for tobacco.
When our family moved to the United States in 2010, my mother established her first cigar store in Ybor City in 2011. Our aim is to carry on the legacy of creating Premium Hand-Crafted, Authentic Cuban Style Cigars as a family legacy.
Together, my mother and I have introduced the Don Manny Cigar brand, offering high-quality cigars with a unique and robust flavor profile.
