The saga of IGM begins with the echo of tradition and the whisper of dreams. In 1997, the Ferrer family—heirs to a rich tobacco legacy from mid-20th century Cuba—embarked on an odyssey that led them to the fertile lands of Costa Rica. It was here, amid the lush greenery and vitality of this tropical paradise, that the destiny of IGM began to take shape.
The story of IGM is a tribute to perseverance and vision. From humble beginnings in a garage transformed into a sanctuary of creation, to the flourishing of its own farm, every step has been guided by passion and a commitment to excellence. What started with the production of just a few thousand cigars for an exclusive client has grown into a globally recognized brand—without ever losing the essence of craftsmanship and quality.
At Inversiones González Martínez S.A., we take pride in our promise: to craft and export the finest premium cigars, staying true to traditional craftsmanship and designed to deliver unforgettable experiences. Our commitment to excellence permeates every stage of the process—from the soil to the hand of the aficionado—upholding Costa Rica’s name at the pinnacle of the industry.
