In 1996 the Cigar Boom was in full effect. Even though the flavor of a good tobacco, as well as the enjoyment and relaxation that came along with smoking one, really appealed to me, I was more involved with my music at the time.

Since I was 16 years old, I enjoyed both studying and sharing my joy of music with others. It was later in life that I learned that cigars, much like music, can lift the spirits, and can become a form of art. The same passion I felt for my music, I have put into the creation and perfection of the PIO Cigar

I have dedicated my life to the PIO Cigar for years, and have carefully created the perfect blend to bring out the uncompromising taste and aroma of our product.

I had to temporarily pull my cigars off the market for some time during a recent legal situation involving an individual that was attempting to steal the PIO brand.

I ask that you welcome back PIO Overture Series 1996 Cigar, and give me the opportunity to be featured in each of your humidors soon.  In return, I give you my passion for this product
