A couple of weeks ago I had the honor of sitting with Lauren Ferraro (CLE Rep) and Pablo Schneider (Patoro Owner) and sample this new cigar distributed in the USA by CLE (Christian Eiroa).

Pataro came into existence in 2001 and is Swiss based and owned by Patrick Martin and Dr. Pablo Richard Schneider. The same year the company was formed, Patrick Martin left Davidoff where he did product development for both AVO and Griffin Cigars. Dr Pablo Richard Schneider is […]

The company was not prepared to share details at the time of press. In July 2013, Florida Distributors was victim to a robbery totaling in excess of $300,00 and in September of the same […]
