Artesano del Tabaco – Tobacco art at its finest, rolled by the hands of legends. The brand was founded by brothers Billy and Bas Perez, who grew up in the heart of the New York cigar community and brought with them a true passion, vision and love for tradition. They didn’t want just another cigar – they wanted a statement. Something that would make the world stop, inhale, and feel. To make the dream a reality – they teamed up with one of the greatest masters in the industry: AJ Fernandez. Every Artesano del Tabaco cigar is made at AJ’s factories in Esteli, Nicaragua, under strict supervision and to the highest standards. The combination of Perez’s precision and Fernandez’s artistry has resulted in cigars that manage to thrill with every puff. The brand became famous with Viva La Vida – a spectacular cigar, intense yet balanced, that conquered the premium market in the US and around the world. It was followed by El Pulpo – deep, complex and multi-layered – a true masterpiece. Artesano del Tabaco is not just about tobacco. They are about emotion, about memories, about moments that stay with you long after the smoke has cleared.
