Ponce Cigars

Ponce Cigar Co. is a boutique brand founded in 2021 by Frank Vazquez, a former six-year veteran of Corona Cigar Co. in Orlando and Tampa, Florida, who channeled his retail expertise and passion into creating his own line of premium handmade cigars. Produced at MJ Frias Cigar SRL in Tamboril, Dominican Republic, Ponce debuted with the flagship San Andrés (Mexican San Andrés wrapper, U.S. Connecticut Broadleaf binder, Dominican/Nicaraguan/U.S. Pennsylvania Broadleaf fillers) delivering bold medium-full notes of chocolate, espresso, mixed nuts, and baking spice, followed by the Ponce Sumatra (Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Ecuadorian Corojo binder, Dominican/Nicaraguan fillers) offering a creamier, earthier medium-bodied profile with cashew, cocoa, and black pepper—quickly earning 90+ ratings and a growing reputation as a brand to watch in the boutique cigar world.
