Under a marquee at dusk, New Jersey
Under a marquee at dusk, rolling one at a time for whoever sat down. In his words: crafting a cigar for each person who came over.

Last night was filled with incredible accomplishments as I humbly served and learned the art of satisfying individuals from all walks of life. I had the privilege of sitting down and carefully crafting hand-made cigars with unwavering passion, dedication, and love for each person who approached me!

The man at that table
Franklin Pichardo has been rolling since 1995, the year Arturo Fuente released the first Opus X — and he is one of the few in the world the family cleared to roll it.
