As we close out our series on Puro Sabor 2018, let's take a look at the events that made the week special. In all honesty, even the everyday lunches were special events. It seemed like every time we gathered for a meal, the organizers pulled out all the stops and made it a grand occasion instead of just another meal. One of my favorite things about all of these events was the reality of being able to sit down with people from all over the world, all walks of life, and all manner of experience in the cigar industry. We were all the same at these events. It was just an enormous group of friends gathering for a meal, some drinks, and great conversation.
Today, AJ Fernandez Cigar Company announced that they have hired Starky Arias, formerly of Cigar Rings, as their new marketing director. He will start the position March 1, 2018. He has been on the creative side of the cigar industry for many years, mostly with Cigar Rings, with many brands.
