Two cigar-rolling events in one night — a beautiful weddingand an incredible time at a stunning new cigar lounge. The energy was amazing, the people were full of love and good vibes, and the craft was celebrated the right way. Good time and good energy — that’s what it was all about.

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.
