Box Press is a cigar podcast where talking about the cigars is secondary, says host Rob Gagner. Instead cigar smokers learn about the personalities and the people behind popular cigar brands. Today have a cigar with President and CEO Nick Perdomo Jr. and his son Nicholas Perdomo III, who is National Director of Sales.

They delve into running a family-owned business, working with your dad and farming tobacco as a vertically integrated cigar manufacturer. Filmed on location at Perdomo Cigars headquarters in Miami, Florida.

Perdomo Cigars agricultural and manufacturing facilities are in Estelí, Nicaragua. The Perdomo family controls every process, from agricultural operations in the fertile valleys of the Estelí, Condega, and the famed Jalapa regions in Nicaragua to a distribution center in Miami, Florida. And the Perdomos have accomplished it by remaining debt-free.
