Cigar News: Ventura Announces Hugo Chairman

The Chairman is an especially exciting release for Ventura Cigar Company, as it’s a collaboration that honors the friendship between Rocky Patel and Hugh Cassar, the Chairman of Kretek International, Inc., parent company of Ventura Cigar Company. “Throughout his time in the cigar industry, Hugh has developed a close relationship with Patel,” says Benjamin Winokur, Brand Manager for Ventura Cigar Company. “After many years of discussion and blending, we are thrilled to bring to market this ultra-premium cigar that bears his namesake. Rocky Patel himself, identified the individual tobaccos that went into the blend- each carefully selected to create a smoking experience that’s as dynamic as the long-time camaraderie between the two friends.”
