Interview with Aristides Garcia, Head of Perdomo Pre-Production, Part I

While in Nicaragua, we had the pleasure of meeting Aristides Garcia, the Head of Perdomo Pre-Production. Pre-Production covers everything from when the crops are harvested until the cigars are brought to the rolling room. Aristides is 77 years young and has been in the cigar business for over 60 years. He smokes on average 20 (yes, that's right) cigars a day. Spry and gregarious, our time with Aristides was one of the highlights of the trip. He chatted with us recently about his career and about why Perdomo's cigars are the best in the world.
