From Fabien Ziegler:
“Preparing to share my latest dream with everybody means a lot to me, it has felt like a long time coming and I am ready for the next evolution! I hope all can enjoy the new series as much as I have enjoyed creating it! I could not have done it alone and am blessed to be able to collaborate with a friend like Jared. This project is designed to awaken many people who may be stuck in a product rut and bring about a different approach to how many of us enjoy traditional cigars. From the packaging to brand messaging to the product mix, this series is a totally unique for the industry and in a product space where I hope my expertise can lend the best consumer experience!”
