Casa Caraballo has decided to venture on their own to have a more hands on approach to their portfolio of cigars. Casa Caraballo is headquartered in Miami, Fla.
Casa Caraballo’s family cigar story began in the small town of Las Villas, Santa Clara Province in Cuba. Mario’s father was an ardent cigar lover, and roller – selling penny cigars on the streets of Havana. He began learning about cigars in the Vuelta Abajo area of Havana in his early childhood.
After the Cuban revolution things changed and Mario Sr. was arrested for being an enemy of the state and the journey to the United States began. After immigrating from Cuba, Mario settled in Miami’s Little Havana Neighborhood, where he would see rollers rolling cigars in the many small factories that once populated the neighborhoods along Miami’s Calle Ocho. His life dream of bringing his blends to life where always in the back of his mind, but 22 years of military service and a career working overseas as an Intelligence agent delayed his lifelong dream.
Thirty years later while sipping on scotch and puffing on a nice cigar, he decided it was time to fulfill a dream of crafting his blends into premium cigars. As a lifelong cigar enthusiast and entrepreneur; bringing the hand-rolled cigars of his Cuban heritage to life was a great endeavor. Mario introduced his blends and shared them with cigar lovers around the world in 2018. Each blend in the Casa Caraballo® portfolio is personally inspired and blended with a unique style that brings balance and flavor to each cigar.
Dedication, humility and respect for all is a part of the Casa Caraballo ethos.
Mario stated:
“Casa Caraballo is also grateful to be working with Benigno Rosario who brings a wealth of experience in the industry and is considered an integral part of our operations. Our purpose is to bring exclusive experience to our customers. Our vision is to craft deluxe blends with the finest crafted tobaccos for our customers to enjoy the consistency of a great cigar.
From the production of our first cigar, to the thousands sold since, our focus has always been to honor the traditions of my father, cigar enthusiast, and the men and women who have served and gave the ultimate sacrifice this great nation. Be on the look for our signature brand release this year.”
