Our Founders

The journey of Artesano Del Tobacco began in the vibrant heart of Manhattan, where the Fakih brothers established their small yet influential shop, New York Cigar Inn. This initial venture served not only as a retail space but also as a gathering place for cigar enthusiasts to share their passion. After selling their business to Casa De Montecristo in 2015, the brothers embarked on a new chapter by relocating to Nicaragua, specifically Esteli—a region renowned for its rich tobacco-growing heritage. Here, they collaborated with the esteemed blender AJ Fernandez, a partnership that would prove pivotal in crafting their exceptional blends. This collaboration has resulted in a collection of cigars like Viva La Vida and El Pulpo, each showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and a unique flavor profile that distinguishes them in an ever-evolving market.

Artesano Del Tobacco’s dedication to excellence and their commitment to delivering top-notch products have positioned them as a leading boutique cigar company within the industry. Their success and expansion into international markets serve as a testament to their passion for crafting exceptional cigars that resonate with enthusiasts worldwide. The brand’s focus on quality over quantity has fostered a loyal customer base that appreciates not just the product but also the story behind each cigar.
