“THE CUBAN”

I met Carl through a mutual friend/customer early 2017. This friend was sharing our cigars with Carl on a regular basis and Carl hit me up directly. During casual conversation I jokingly asked Carl if he would be interested in testing new blends before they went to market. He jumped at the opportunity and became our primary test subject. He was directly involved in the creation of Pepe’s Caramel Pecan, Calle Ocho and the Cubana pigtail cigars.

Sometimes in life things just don’t go as planned, and we were going through a rough patch with mediocre sales. Carl’s response ...“I’ve got your back”...and he meant it. Any time Carl did a live video feed on social media, he would smoke our cigars and encourage his fan base to check out the brand. As a direct result business began to flourish again.  As a tribute to Carl, we’ve produced The “Cuban” cigar. I find it the only thing I can do to keep his memory alive and keep #ruizing.
