I would like to send you some samples of our top quality handmade cigars. I believe you are goint to be surprised with our blend and how we manufacture cigars. You will see how we can compete with some of the cuban brands.
Please send me your postal address to send you some sampples. Also, there is a Tobacco Fair in Barcelona, (the second in Europe), from the 1st to the 3rd of April and would like to send you information and an invitation to attend.
Please, visit our web site is www.fincatabaqueraelsitio.com.
We are a family business and only manufacture handmade cigars. Our very best blend is to export. We have been in business for the last 52 years in the Canaries and more than 30 years previously, (my grandfather and his brothers),in Cuba.
Dear Mr. Perez,
Thank you very much for contacting me. Yes, I am very interested in sampling and reviewing your cigars, as well as learning more about the Tobacco Fair in Barcelona. I have visited your website but could not find any product info on your cigars such as cigar sizes, photos, etc. Please email me directly at james.yee@msn.com with more information about your line of cigars, your family cigar business and the upcoming Tobacco Fair. I will reply to your email with my postal information.
I look forward to your reply.
Sincerest regards,
James Yee

Expertise
My main area of expertise is Cuban cigars but I can also assist you with cigar etiquette, humidor maintenance and troubleshooting. Unsure of a certain cigar brand? Wondering what a certain cigar tastes like? Have any questions about Cuban cigars? Just let me know! I have smoked every brand of Cuban cigars and most reputable non-Cuban cigar brands on a regular basis so I know a fair bit about taste profiles, cigar etiquette and other fine nuances to cigar smoking. (NOTE: My main focus is on premium, hand-rolled cigars and not cheap, machine made, convenience store cigars.) IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT PROVIDE CIGAR OR CIGAR-RELATED APPRAISALS. If you have a vintage cigar item and you want to know if it's worth something, please contact an antique dealer that specializes in "TOBACCIANA".
Experience
I currently have 19 dedicated years of cigar smoking and counting. I have smoked every brand of Cuban cigars and most reputable non-Cuban cigar brands on a regular basis so I know a fair bit about taste profiles, cigar etiquette and other fine nuances to cigar smoking. For 5 years, I studied with Cuban torcedores (rollers), catadores (taste testers) and revisadores (inspectors) on every aspect involving the production of the Cuban cigar and I am currently writing a book that will help beginners understand everything they need to know about cigars and cigar smoking.
