Good burn. Great taste. Just what you'd expect from a retired Chicago firefighter turned cigar maker. Aric Bey is a model on how to pivot if early retirement derails your career. The Black boutique cigar brand founder sits down with Boveda's Rob Gagner to talk about the Black Star Line Cigars' blends. The brand name is a fist up to civil rights leader, Marcus Garvey.
You might remember that Black Star Line and Epic Cigars teamed up on the Black History Month Cigar, a limited-edition scholarship cigar for Privada Cigar Club. Learn how to round out your cigar palate and pair cigars and spirits from the BIPOC cigar brand owner.
About Boveda for Cigars: Boveda are those brown 2-way humidity packs you put in a humidor to preserve cigars. When you own a humidor, you need to make sure the cigars inside stay well-humidified or they can be hard to light, burn to too fast or get moldy. With Boveda in your humidor, you'll get better flavor from a cigar. Boveda has been keeping cigars tasting great for more than 25 years. Perfectly aged cigars. Guaranteed.
