Fabrica
/ FAH-bree-kah /
Industry & TradeSpanish
Definition
Spanish for factory. In cigar usage it means the facility where cigars are made, as distinct from the farm and the curing barn.
Why it matters
Because many brands are made under contract in shared factories, knowing the fabrica often tells you more about a cigar's construction and house style than the brand name does.
In context
"Three unrelated brands come out of that fabrica, and it shows in the roll."
