This Sunday Night, I have the honor of bringing the tradition and luxury of hand-rolled cigars to a truly beautiful wedding. Guests are enjoying the art, aroma, and experience that only a live cigar rolling session can create. A wedding is about unforgettable moments—and this is the kind of detail that makes the night even more special.

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.
