broozer Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 otherwise known as: Fabrica de Tabacos Francisco Donatien does anyone have any pics of this place? i could have sworn years ago that i saw pics and the factory was this beautiful blue color, but i just found ONE pic of it and it was a pale yellow. was i just imagining it was blue or did it get painted? bruce
sounddust Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 According to MRN's book, it is as blue as a smurf; except for the 2 middle columns that are red.
Tampa1257 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Bruce, with the Vegueros marca, does it really matter what color the factory is? I know you are a fan, but Vegueros is on the same level as Guantanamera IMHO.
broozer Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 no, it's not about the exact color chuck. i just saw a pic years ago of it and really wanted to track one down and maybe use as a desk top pic. nothing more. if anyone has one PLEASE post it here for me. bruce
Tampa1257 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Bruce, its all good my friend, I was just rubbin ya a little............
mkz Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Is it this one? Sorry. Can´t find a bigger picture. Just goooooooogled it and that was all i found...

laficion Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I'm sorry about the blue not being the "IN" colour when this pics was taken in Dec. 2008, but I hope It will help you out bruce.
Padrino Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Uh, Chuck... El Presidente gave the Cepos 96 points. Not quite Guantanamera. Did the Especiales #2 not get a 90 in one of the Cigar Aficionado issues ? I really enjoy Vegueros, If only i could find more Seoanes
broozer Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 I'm sorry about the blue not being the "IN" colour when this pics was taken in Dec. 2008, but I hope It will help you out bruce. that is the only pic i can find, but it does appear that they painted it because that appears to be the same as the one above (where it's blue). bruce

puros71 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Broozer, Here is the pictures I took way back in 2001 when i was in Pinar del Rio. Some of the pictures are of oustside Fabrica Francisco Donatien and around Pinar del Rio. Jose do you recognize any of the workers? I took some at a Finca in San Juan y Martinez.
