ROBERTO’S EXPERIENCE ENCOMPASSES A LIFETIME IN THE CIGAR INDUSTRY.
I was supposed to be a banker at 22. Then a very wise man told me that working for the bank in Cuba was perhaps the most boring job on earth; he presented me with a Cuban Davidoff No. 1 and told me “a cigar is more than a cigar, it opens Cuba to the World”. Six month later I was in Hong Kong, starting a long 20 years journey to introduce cigars to over 40 countries, representing 4 multinational cigar companies and, more than anything, meeting along the way the most exceptional and passionate people I know: the cigar smokers and producers.
I AM VERY PROUD TO WORK WITH THIS AMAZING TEAM.
When the time came to open my own business I couldn’t do anything else than to call on my friends cigar smokers and my friends cigar masters from Cuba who jumped immediately to start creating our amazing cigar blends. I am very proud to work with Vicente Castillo, who is in charge of all the quality and operation of our factory Nicatabaco SA in Esteli, Crisanto Cardenas (Santo) with over 55 years as a master blender and cigar roller, as our brand ambassador, Eradio Pichardo, my partner in the plantation in Ecuador and the factory in Nicaragua, and many others that are the real experts and cigar artists behind the success of our cigars.
