M. K. & Söhne Expands Portfolio with Exclusive Matilde Cigar Distribution
M. K. & Söhne is proud to announce the latest addition to its growing portfolio: the esteemed Matilde cigar brand. Effective immediately, M. K. & Söhne will handle the distribution of Matilde, a brand renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and the expertise of its legendary founder, José Seijas.
A Legacy of Excellence
José Seijas is a name that commands respect in the cigar world. With over 40 years of experience as Vice President and General Manager of Tabacalera de García—the world’s largest cigar manufacturer—Seijas oversaw the production of more than 60 million cigars annually. After departing, he partnered with his son Enrique to establish Matilde, a brand dedicated to uncompromising quality and deeply rooted in Dominican cigar tradition.
“Making the best cigar in the world is what drives me. Matilde is how I pay homage to my country.” – José Seijas
A Brand Built on Quality and Innovation
From its launch in 2014, Matilde captured the attention of aficionados and critics alike. The brand’s debut cigar received an impressive 92-point rating and was ranked among the year’s best, cementing its reputation as a premier cigar line. Since then, Matilde has continued to expand, offering a diverse range of blends, from bold and full-bodied to refined and mild, all crafted with meticulous attention to detail.
An Exciting Addition to M. K. & Söhne’s Portfolio
Daniel and Adam Kohlhase, Managing Partners of M. K. & Söhne, expressed their enthusiasm for this new partnership: “Matilde represents artisanal perfection, tradition, and an exceptional taste experience. With the expertise of José Seijas and the passion of his son Enrique, Matilde is a valuable addition to our collection and a delight for aficionados seeking something special.”
The Seijas legacy continues through Matilde, carried forward with the same commitment to excellence by Enrique Seijas. With this new distribution partnership, M. K. & Söhne ensures that cigar lovers will have greater access to these meticulously crafted masterpieces. Stay tuned for availability details and experience the world-class quality of Matilde cigars.
