and they say smoking is bad?
Rest in peace!

Very sad indeed! Wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of memorial limited edition cigar to him in the future, would be a fitting tribute I think.

RIP.

Real sad news. The guy is a legend in Cuba.
The Famosos are still one of the best Robustos out there IMO.

A true legend in the industry and will be sorely missed. He had a very full and, at 91, long life. The Vegas Robaina brand is the most fitting legacy to his passion and commitment to the finest cigars in the world. R.I.P Don Alejandro.
