Thanks for the story Stogie. George Rico always makes me feel like I have always known him. George is one of the most gracious and generous people in the cigar business, along with Eddie Ortega, Carlito Fuente, and Nestor Miranda.

My thoughts exactly Frank -- I started this and wow what an experience.Sounds like a very devoted tobacco business man. Your experience seems to be a life long one of yours as it showed in your post. Very nice --I enjoyed reading and it felt like I was there with you guys. Great !

I am Back! I had a great time and we finished the cigar. I had a lot of fun this time with George and his father. We even went on a duck hunt in Nicaragua with George, Guillermo, and Alex (Cigar.com). I will catch up on what I have missed since I have been gone and then work on the videos.

Thanks again George and Guillermo for a great trip. I look forward to many more special projects between us.

Gran Habanos have been a go-to of mine for a while now and I'm sure they'll stay that way. I have 2 boxes in the cooler, resting, aging, getting better I can't wait for the LIVE cigar ibble:

Great story Daniel


George makes some of our blends as well. He is absolutely everything you say and we are both lucky to be working with him. He is such a great guy that will be a leader in this industry for a very long time! You will have great success with anything that he makes for you. Cigar Live is wonderful as well.
thanks
Rob

Wow, I really enjoyed reading that Stogie!!! I am jealous I could not go there... maybe next year Gran Habanos will open its doors to Cigar live Members like Araganese did this year?
