Elogio Cigars

Last week I had the privilege to meet Nabil Sabbah and his beautiful wife Roseline, the couple that owns Elogio cigars.  Elogio is a true boutique cigar company creating about 40,000 cigars a year and is currently found in less than 20 B&M shops.  And as luck would have it, Carlos Robaina (the grandson of Alejandro Robaina AKA the Godfather of Cuban Tobacco) is the master blender for Elogio.

As this was my introduction to the brand, I thought I'd do something a little different.  I videoed Nabil and had him talk about what got him into cigars and why he built the brand Elogio.  I took him upstairs to Uptown's offices and away from the Elogio party downstairs so it would be much quieter.  However, the ventilation system was picked up by the mic so it isn't the best audio, but at least it's better than trying to conduct an interview amidst the party downstairs.

So enjoy the videos below and familiarize yourself with a rather small, but great cigar company! And be sure to check out their website at http://www.elogiocigars.com/
