Outstanding packaging and marketing. Good supply levels. Some of their targeted SKU's are well made/well priced and flavoursome. The almost circus like "over the top marketing" disguises a shrewd operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On two different occasions, he has come to his shop on his day off just to visit with my friends and I. He is truly interested in his customers, and what WE like in a cigar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We absolutely love to visit him and his staff. Our Spanish is terrible yet they are so helpful and make us feel so welcome. That has us both working overtime on conversational Spanish! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treberty Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Alex is a great torcedor. Maybe not the best one technically (although he is still young), but certainly one with a great business acumen and exceptional interpersonal skills, IMO. I had no idea that Cubans could be part of business ventures outside of the island... so I have a stupid question, just in case someone here knows the answer: how does it work for the payments? Will the government tax him for his new source of income or all of it will go in a bank account in the US or Nic? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I'm very interested... Hirochi, Jaime, Alex. To be honest, I haven't seen / read / heard much detailed info, on any of the ventures. But, my thought has always been about their ability to acquire the tobacco they desire with consistency. And perhaps, other limitations (if any) they might have imposed upon them with regards to how they are able to blend their cigars. I hope they all succeed. I'm very interested....

Hookmaker Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Do not judge strictly. The number of cigars that Alex sells is impossible to roll alone...So he’s not rolling all his Cubans alone? Interesting, I would’ve thought a custom by a named roller is as such, but anyways - I’m green into CR’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, presumably they are still selecting tobacco, blending, and overseeing their crews of subcontractors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helix Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Personally I have noticed a decline (increase in demand) in quality of blend and construction in the last couple of years regarding customs across the board very disappointing . No names, I had purchased a bundle of 20 customs, just before leaving the premises the main roller asked to see my bundle , replaced about a dozen sticks and chastised his new colleagues for giving such an important client …………...blah,blah. The whole bundle turned out to be disappointing as were customs from other rollers last March. A general consensus amongst six of us. Anyone else have this experience ?
