Since November 2013, I decided to make the Tobacco Culture my way of life. The passion for making my own cigars led me to create Don Rosario Cigars. After formally certifying myself as an artisan, I began to make handmade cigars for sale; to promote them in the networks and personally in different public and private activities. Thanks to the support received for my work, I was invited by the Tourism Company to establish and promote my products from my stand in Paseo La Princesa.
