Alec later went on to work for Neptune Cigar Super Store in Miami, while attending Florida International University. There he smoked every cigar he could get his hands on. The goal was to develop his palate with the intention of one day joining the family business.

I am proud to join my father and grandfather and look forward to help the Casa Cuevas Cigar brand grow.”
