As for the business, I got into manufacturing about 7 years ago. I ended up making a brand which was sold exclusively to high end hotels and restaurants. I found that it was very hard to find a good cigar in the hotels around Miami so I built a brand to showcase in these venues. It was a limited project. We featured rare tobaccos and very well aged cigars. I worked with several manufacturers through this process. From there, I decided that I wanted to build a factory in Wynwood, which is the arts district in Miami. Everyone thought I was crazy. I thought this area was a fantastic place to showcase the artistry of cigar manufacturing. From there the Wynwood brand was born. I always wanted to share with people the experience of a fresh-rolled cigars. To me, they were the best kept secret in the industry. I worked mainly with Honduran Corojo tobacco for this project, as the sweetness of this leaf overcomes most of the bitterness that you find when smoking fresh tobacco. Unfortunately, I had to leave this project due to differences with my former partner. I am very stubborn when it comes to business. I only want to make the highest quality cigars I can. Sadly, that factory closed just a few weeks after I left.
