PCA 2022 Report: Matilde Cigars

Last year a new chapter for Matilde Cigars began as owner Enrique Seijas launched the Limited Exposure Series. Over the past few years, Seijas has worked hard building up the four core blends of his portfolio, but the Limited Exposure Series gave Seijas a chance to do some different things. As the name indicates, it’s Limited Exposure. The idea will be to rotate releasing one of three blends every six months in a different size for a production run. So far Seijas has released Limited Exposure No. 1 and Limited Exposure No. 2 with plans for No. 3 to be released next year. At this year’s Trade Show, the Limited Exposure No. 1 was once again showcased, but this time in a new Lonsdale size. This was the final video we recorded at the 2022 PCA Trade Show (although we have some special feature videos that will follow this). We literally recorded this as the Trade Show came to a close.

For the Limited Exposure Series, Seijas has turned to Tabacalera La Isla, the factory opened late in 2020 by Hostos Quesada. As for the blend, the Matilde Limited Exposure No. 1 features a Mexican wrapper over all-Dominican tobaccos. The Lonsdale measures 6 x 42 and will be presented in 20-count boxes.
