Tabacalera, the Philippines' oldest cigar manufacturer and one of the oldest in the world, was established in 1881. It has its roots in the Spanish colonial tobacco monopoly, which introduced Cuban tobacco seeds to the Philippines in 1592. The country’s tropical climate, particularly in regions like Cagayan Valley, proved ideal for tobacco cultivation, giving rise to a vibrant cigar industry.

Tabacalera is renowned for its premium hand-rolled cigars that celebrate Filipino craftsmanship. Among its flagship lines are:

Don Juan Urquijo - Medium to full-bodied cigars often described as perfect for morning enjoyment.
1881 - A well-balanced, medium-bodied blend using aged Philippine fillers.
1881 Perique - A bold, premium line reflecting Tabacalera’s innovative blending techniques.
Alhambra - Their everyday brand, popular in European markets​
