Celebrating 50 years in the cigar industry, Quesada Cigars has announced a transition in leadership as it enters a new chapter. Ownership and leadership are now in the hands of Raquel and Patricia Quesada Vega, daughters of longtime patriarch Manuel โ€œManoloโ€ Quesada, consolidating the familyโ€™s legacy within the next generation.

Manuel Quesada expressed pride in passing the company to his daughters, marking this transition as a highlight of his 60-year career. Both Raquel and Patricia shared their commitment to upholding the familyโ€™s heritage and continuing Quesadaโ€™s dedication to craftsmanship and community. The change comes after a health scare that Manolo endured during the 2024 Pro Cigar Festival in which he is still recovering.

This transition solidifies Quesada Cigarsโ€™ standing as a multi-generational, family-owned business, reflecting the familyโ€™s ongoing dedication to the industry.
