Vallejuelo

Vallejuelo is a brand created in 2008, at the request of a Swiss distributor and for that market, says the manufacturer. Its name means small valley. It belongs to Maurice Antonius Koks, from the Netherlands, who is also its blender according to the manufacturer, and is hand-rolled at Intercigar S.A., in the La Palma free zone, in Tamboril, Santiago province.

The house offers two blends. The Classic Vallejuelo, launched in 2008, pairs an Ecuadorian Habano rosado wrapper with a Dominican and Nicaraguan filler, under a Nicaraguan binder; it is sold in several sizes — Robusto, Robusto Gordo, Gran Toro, Gordo — in boxes of twenty. The Vallejuelo Medio Tiempo, fuller-bodied according to the manufacturer, uses medio tiempo leaf under a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, in boxes of eighteen. In September 2022, a fire destroyed the building in Tamboril that Intercigar shared with Tabacalera William Ventura. Intercigar's website, checked in September 2026, still lists both Vallejuelos among its brands; where they have been rolled since the fire, no source consulted says.
