El Sol™ started producing some of the Dominican Republic's best cigars back in the late 1920's. Then in 1929, El Sol opened up its first US cigar store in Ybor City, Florida. El Sol became the Tampa areas oldest and most respected cigar store and has been serving customers for 93 years with handmade, premium cigars produced in the Dominican Republic and delivered throughout the United States. Three generations of the Saitta family, Guy, son Tony and grandson Bob have all managed the family business. Back in 1929, the first El Sol™ cigar was made by Guy Saitta. His shop was originally on 7th Avenue in the Ybor section of Tampa. Guy and Mary, both master cigar makers, worked very hard doing what they liked to do. Guy was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1904, Mary was Tampa-born in 1907.

Unfortunately, El Sol™ closed its doors in 2015 and the company's loyal customers had to start looking for another brand of cigar to smoke. A long time customer, Marco Zvanik, simply could not find anything as good as an El Sol™, so in 2021, he decided to bring the company back to its former glory . With the original recipe in hand, El Sol is now working with some of the Dominican Republic's best boutique tobacco producers to bring back the Premium El Sol™ brand. You won't be able to find El Sol's in cigar shops as they are produced in small batches using only premium grade tobaccos. For this reason, we only produce a certain quantity of El Sols each year. When they are gone, they are gone.
