Bring Out the "Adult" Pipes | Tim Ozgener, Ozgener Family Cigars | Box Press Ep. 97

Box Press

Listen for the hilarious father-son story that taught Tim Ozgener the importance of knowing your customer via adult-themed pipes! Previously, Tim owned and ran CAO with his father Cano Aret Ozgener and his sister Aylin. After a 12-year hiatus, Tim found his way back to the cigar business. Learn from the exercises that helped him pinpoint where to go next and how to design a brand like Nike does. In 2022, Tim launched Ozgener Family Cigars, which are distributed by Crowned Heads.

Interview by Rob Gagner.
