The cigar birthdays in May 2021

May 2: HansPeter Hagmann. The international sales manager for CLE & Asylum Cigars. The Swiss industry veteran is the person all international distributors turn to for their Asylum and CLE.

May 4: Alec Rubin. The oldest son of Alec Bradley owner Alan Rubin. And now a cigar manufacturer himself, working with his brother Bradley under his father’s wings.

May 6: Kolja Kukuk. If you have been to a Rocky Patel event in Europe in the last 5 years, you have met Kolja. Tirelessly he’s doing event after event, although Covid gives him a well-deserved break. 

May 14: Daniel Guerrero. The man behind Circus and El Viejo Continente. Not only a master blender but now also a factory owner in Nicaragua.

May 15: Hector Luis. Possibly the best-known Cuban farmer at the moment although Hirochi Robaina might wrestle him for the title. World-renowned for his Finca where you can rent cabins for a great stay in Cuba. And his farm rolls are amongst the best Cuban cigars available.

May 15: Juan Cancel. A former law enforcement officer who’s now a Che Guevara lookalike cigar manufacturer with Protocol Cigars. Funny guy who makes great cigars, all police-themed.
