A huge thank you to Lycoming County Cigar Fest for the amazing opportunity and the warm welcome today Saturday! It was an honor to share my passion for cigar rolling with such a great community of cigar lovers. The energy, support, and love I received made the experience unforgettable.

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.
