Everything else at your party was delivered. This is made.

Flowers, catering, the bar, the music — all of it arrives in a van, finished. He is the one thing at your event that happens in front of your guests: a cigar built by hand for the person holding it, with your name printed on the band.

What happens at the table

Nobody planned the best part of the night.

  • Somebodyalwaysstops.

    And then somebody stops to see what they are looking at. Nothing else on the run sheet does that — the bar, the band and the food all happen around people who already knew each other.

The band

He rolls it in front of them, so the band you choose is the only one it will ever wear.

It goes into a pocket and gets read again, weeks later, somewhere else.

Two names and a date. A company mark. The name of a tournament, or of whoever the night was for.

Tell him the date and he will tell you the same day whether it is his.

They all reach for the same word.

Family. Eight different people reach for it, eight years apart, written by people who had known him for an hour.

Franklin sat down with my wife and I and enjoyed a cigar with us. He treated us like family and gave us hugs on our way out. Papo is the real deal with a heart of gold and a sense of humor that can make anyone laugh.

Yes, I am a humble cigar roller — but with a little more style, experience and elegance. When clients request my services, they are not just hiring someone to roll cigars.
