Many years ago, the Mexican government offered different crafts, trades and skills for Mexican Nationals to learn a skill that would give the opportunity to locals to become self-sufficient throughout the region.\n \n
Among many other techniques, cigar rolling was offered. Mother Garcia Herrera was immediately struck with interest.\u00a0 Despite the majority male practice, she excelled in her trade, and over time, became a well-known \u2018roller\u2019.\u00a0 In fact, she eventually became the sole distributor of quality cigars within her region of Mexico.\u00a0 Mostly because the competitors could not compete with the demand of wanting her cigars.\u00a0 Her keen capability of choosing great tobacco and capability of knowing how to roll a fine cigar.\n \n
Many years later, entrepreneur Dr. Aaron Bryant (avid cigar lover) traveled around the world and found himself as a frequent visitor within the Compostela region.\u00a0 During a casual conversation and wanting a cigar, a friend recommended the local cigar.\u00a0 After tasting it\u2026Dr. Bryant was very intrigued of the background and source behind the cigar.\u00a0 After multiple visits, Dr. Bryant learned that the cigar was truly a family business with close ties to the community and did not market outside of the area.\u00a0 \u201cThis was not fair\u201d \u2013 thought Aaron.\n \n
Dr. Bryant and the Garcia Herrera family came to an agreement and now, the world has the same option of tasting a wonderfully hand rolled cigar.\n \n
The cigar tobacco farm is grown within two hours of Skiphire Cigar Headquarters.\u00a0 Still to this day the Garcia Herrera family hand picks the tobacco for the proper look, smell and color.\u00a0 The family is also part of the company to ensure quality rolling is performed to ensure the best product is provided within each fine cigar just for YOU.\n \n
Mother Garcia Herrera chose the name Skiphire because she envisioned her children and grandchildren will all learn about the joys of cigars and cigar rolling as a family (i.e., a union).\n \n
Now, you too will be a part of the Skiphire Familia\u2026as you get to enjoy this fine cigar.\u00a0 And the best part is\u2026you save money \u2013 by not paying for 3rd party mark up, machine rolled expenses, or fancy market labelling.\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t \u201cIf you are reading this for the first time, it means you have found us \u2013 and you were curious enough to continue reading up to this point.\u00a0 Please allow me to put your mind at ease. Like you, I was once exploring cigars\u2026and versed enough to know what to look for.\u00a0 As a military veteran with various trauma-related injuries; a cigar become a great option to relax me without the risk of using illegal substances. However, over the last fifteen years \u2013 I have spent so much money on high- and low-end cigars\u2026constantly searching for something I can call my \u2018go to\u2019.\u00a0 Just like going to the bar and knowing what you want to drink.\n I am not asking you to ignore what you already may like.\u00a0 I am just asking you to give this a try\u2026and experience a fine cigar that is affordable and just as good.\n My first time smoking this cigar\u2026I was really impressed.\u00a0 I knew immediately that this was different.\u00a0 And I hope you will feel the same.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Chief Executive Officer & About Us Many years ago, the Mexican government offered different crafts, trades and skills for Mexican Nationals to learn a skill that would give the opportunity to locals to become self-sufficient throughout the region.
