Kentucky’s “The State Journal” news paper had a great article recently.
A story about a man who started a cigar company of his very own.
His company is “Kentucky Gentlemen Hand rolled Cigars”.
Last year he sold 100,000 cigars.
And that’s WITH OUT a sales force.
Now that he’s got a National Sales Director on board he expects to sell 1 Million cigars next year.
The National Sales Director, Greg Lynd said:
“I had no intention of changing what I do for a living until I came down here and smoked one of these cigars,” Lynd said. “That’s when I knew I had to be part of this.”
The business owner, Allen Mobley, has a great story.
“It was time Kentucky made a good cigar,” Mobley said.
This decision led Mobley to Texas where three Cubans taught him how to roll cigars. Mobley later went to the Dominican Republic and lived with a family to further his skills in cigar rolling.
He has converted one of his barns into a cigar shop where he stores tobacco he has handpicked from places like Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Mobley also puts a little bit of Kentucky in every one of his cigars.
“You can’t use too much because Kentucky tobacco is so strong,” Mobley said.
He is also apparently working on a A Kentucky grown wrapper.
“I’m coming up with a wrapper leaf grown here in Kentucky, but it’s too strong right now,” Mobley said. “It won’t be ready until four years down the road.”
Sounds interesting.
Perhaps I’ll order some and review them for you.
