Tabaqueria De Filipinas

Hand-rolled in San Pedro, Laguna.

A family cigar maker since 1993, founded by Gabriel Ripoll Jr. Every cigar we make is rolled by hand.

A family of cigar people.

We're the Ripolls: a father, his sons, and more than 250 people who roll, band and box every cigar by hand in San Pedro, Laguna. Write to us and you're writing to the family.

Inside the factory

Every cigar is rolled by hand in San Pedro, Laguna. Our box makers cut and finish the narra boxes, and every cigar gets its ring band before it goes into a box.

Some of those bands carry other people's names. Some of those lids are made for one occasion only.

More than 250 people work here.

From Father to Sons

In 1993, our father Gabriel Ripoll Jr. opened a small cigar workshop on Taft Avenue in Manila. Today, our family still rolls cigars by hand in San Pedro, Laguna.

Meet the family

In the Manila tradition

We roll in the Manila cigar tradition, with tobacco grown in northern Luzon. Our Isabela pais descends from Spanish-era plantings, and it gives our cigars their own character, distinct from Cuban and Dominican cigars.
