The history of the Perdomo family’s cigar making tradition recounts three generations of Cuban cigar artisans and their quest for survival, freedom and their fervent dream of producing the finest cigars in the world. The communist revolution of 1959 and the considerable struggles that followed would not deter them from their tenacious path of defiance and persistence. Enduring years of political strife, hardship and brutal oppression – culminating with the eventual discovery of freedom and survival in a new world – is how the seeds of the Perdomo cigar tradition have taken root and flourished. Today, led by the third generation of cigar maker Nick Perdomo, Jr., Tabacalera Perdomo, S.A. has gained its rightful place as one of the most successfully innovative and fiercely passionate manufacturers of premium cigars in the world.

Cigar Joke

Two monks from different monasteries were old friends who shared a great fondness for cigars. Once each year when they had a chance to visit, they would pray together and, of course, light up.

Eventually, however, they became concerned that there might be some sin in their habit and they each resolved to ask their respective superiors for guidance.

When they met again, one was puffing away.

“But the head of my monastery told me it was a sin,” protested the other.

“What did you ask him?” said the first.

“I asked him if it was all right to smoke during evening prayer and he said, ‘No.’”

“Well,” said his friend as he blew a perfect smoke ring into the air, “I asked my superior if it was alright to pray during our evening smoke and he said it was just fine!”
