Cigar News: Jose Blanco to Retire from La Aurora

0

In the cigar industry, as in life, all good things must come to an end. When it comes to cigars, Jose Blanco is one of the industry’s greatest friends. So naturally, the news that Jose is retiring comes as a surprise to me.

 

I’ve had the great fortune of attending one of his blending seminars, where I was repeatedly humbled by the intricacies of the cigar blending process. It was easy for those who had attended the seminar to establish a deep respect for Jose’s craft. Jose has had a hand in creating some of the industry’s most prized blends, for example, the Cien Anos1495 and theAurora 107. It’s a shame to see Jose’s presentations go away.

 

But if you’re a tobacconist or a cigar retailer, it’s not too late. Jose will be doing one last blending seminar at this year’s IPCPR in Las Vegas.

 

Jose has also been active in social media, via his twitter account. He’s always quick with a witty response.  I sure hope that he’ll continue tweeting to his sizable following.

 

I’ll never forget his trademark signature, “take care.” Right back at you Jose, take care!

Barry will weigh in once he gets a chance to absorb it.
