The Velasques brand was patented for the first time by Commercial partnership Dassen & van der Meeren, Cigar Factory St. Antonius in Meerveldhoven on May 1, 1918 under number 36932. More

Alfons Dassen started a cigar factory in Geel in Belgium. In 1917 he married in Eersel and settled in Meerveldhoven. Here he started a new cigar factory together with Van der Meeren. They used the brand name Sint Antonius. It went so well that they soon opened a second branch in Duizel. After the Second World War, the company was taken over by the 4 sons of Mr. Dassen. However, under American influence, the cigarette became increasingly popular. In 1970 the Velasques factory was transferred to the American Tobacco Company and production was transferred to Geel. A furniture store is now located in that building.
