Manuel (Manny) Sotelo is, quite simply, the real deal. A true gentleman, a passionate lover of the leaf, and a cherished long-time member of the FOH family. His handcrafted cigar cases are nothing short of extraordinary, arguably the finest available anywhere in the world today.

In a world of throwaway items, it’s refreshing—and reassuring—to encounter pieces crafted to last a lifetime. Manny’s work stands as a testament to craftsmanship, integrity, and enduring style.

In this exclusive Deep Dive, we sit down with Manny to explore his roots, his inspirations, and the remarkable journey that has taken him from humble beginnings to the very summit of cigar case artistry. It’s a story of dedication, creativity, and quiet excellence.

I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I did.

Really looking forward to watching this. Manny is a gem and I have several of his cases. Great utility and build quality - better than anything else on the market.

@Manny Sotelo - Very nice interview and a great looking product. I just ordered my case. Thank you!

[BigGuns]

Looking forward to tuning in. My Sotelo case is always in tow and has been by far the best case I’ve owned. Details down to the zippers let you know how great the quality and dedication are.

Don't lose this one the next time you're in Chicago. Wear it like a purse! 🤣

[Olie364]

Looking forward to watching. Have checked out your cases before and pulled the trigger on one tonight. Much appreciated and looking forward to receiving!

[DennyPaul]

Bought a case after watching. Thank you both!

[zeedubbya]

Ha! You got the last IP Pirate case! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[Manny Sotelo]

Don’t forget guys, your discount works for everything on our website and please remember our imperfect cases are just that, so don’t judge us to harshly with those zipper hiccups! 😬

[madandana]

The Havana collection looks cool.

[dud33]

Picked up an "imperfect" aficionado that had a divot I guess? It was so nice, I had the wife order me a Perfecto. Gorgeous stuff Manny, best of luck!

[Cestis4]

Manny went out of his way and expedited a case I ordered. Instant communication. Greater customer service! Thanks Manny!

Just tried using the code and didn’t work, have I missed the promotion?

Unfortunately, you have missed the 25% off discount, but Manny has graciously allowed FOH members to still save 15% on purchases using code foh15.

 

[Manny Sotelo]

Afternoon gentlemen! Just an FYI, we have an IMPERFECT sale going on right now, so go check it out and see if anything catches your eye! Have a great weekend and smoke well!  IMPERFECT sale

[NYGuido]

Just came across these amazing cases, and @Manny Sotelo, your stuff looks amazing! Wondering how "imperfect" the zipper issues on the Connoisseur series really are. But yeah, I asked my wife for one of these for Xmas and will get one, myself, if she doesn't come through (which she will).

[Manny Sotelo]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I’ve been told I’m a little too critical of my cases, and the zippers work great. In my opinion, some are better than others but still don’t meet that butter smooth glide I strive for.
