Alonso Menendez is a premium tobacco brand with deep roots in the tradition of Cuban cigar making, but it is firmly established in Brazil. The brand was founded after the Menendez family, famous for creating Montecristo in Cuba, moved to Brazil following the Cuban Revolution.
Today, the brand is manufactured by Menendez Amerino in the Recôncavo Baiano region of Brazil, which is renowned for its high-quality Mata Fina tobacco. The 'Gold' line is known for its smooth profile and is produced entirely within Brazilian facilities using a blend of local and imported fillers. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Menendez and Amerino families, maintaining its status as a significant player in the South American luxury tobacco market.
