Many years ago while in my home country, I decided to migrate to the United States, searching for a better life and the American Dream,
full of hope, with a bass guitar in hand, and empty pockets. I relocated to Miami, Florida, a city which has become my home away from
home, and after years of hard work as a bass guitar player, in 1996, I made the painful and risky decision to sell my partner, my
beloved Bass Guitar, and use the money to rent a small space in Little Havana to start experimenting on how to elaborate a great
blend for a good tasting cigar.
Sitting
back was no option for me; I had a one goal in my heart and mind, recovering my Cigar Brand. With no money to afford an
attorney, I filed a legal complaint by myself against those who stole my Cigar brand, and after 5 years of legal fighting, I got my
brand back and reinstated. Once on the road again, in 2009, I started my cigar production and came up with the perfect name, PIO Resurrection
"Box Pressed Cigar" Limited Edition. It was my way of honoring my efforts and sacrifices to be back in business with the cigars I
loved so much.
There’s not much difference in being a great bass player and being a great cigar maker. It does not have to be a family tradition passed down from generations or from a specific country either, to be a great musician or cigar maker.It’s all about the love and dedication that one shows and gives to their trade and the talent given by God...
