Your satisfaction is our priority

Willy was born in Santa Clara, Cuba on June 25th, 1950. He is the middle of three children in his family with one older brother and a younger sister.

In 1958, when Willy was just eight years old, he began working with his grandfather in the cigar business. His grandfather (Sesario Cardenas) was the one who instilled the skills of the cigar-making trade in Willy. 

In 1976 Willy furthered his skills while working at the "Romeo Y Julieta" factory in Cuba. He remained at the cigar factory for 12 years. He then traveled to the U.S. and began working at the "Cuban Cigar Factory" in San Diego, CA. He kept his education ongoing by learning the many blending combinations possibłe for the perfect cigar. Willy remained there for eight years before moving his family to Chandler, AZ. 

Now "Willy Cigars" resides in Arizona bringing to you the many years and thought staking processes that go into creating a cigar that brings the best aroma and taste possible. Willy hand selects the tobacco himself from his family in the Dominican Republic. Willy Cigars only incorporates the best parts of the leaf, which is grown from cuban seed with a minimum of three years aging, using the leaves with the most veins for the filler and binder to bring that sought after aroma of the cigar. 

The selection process for the wrapper is slightly different. The wrapper that is used for all the cigars is strictly Connecticut shade that has been aged for a minimum of one year. In order to achieve the best texture and aroma for the wrapper, Willy selects only the finest, smoothest, less veined leaves. This combination brings to you, the cigar smoker, the most enjoyable cigar ever. "Willy Cigars" hopes that you enjoy our cigars and after trying one, you will agree that there is nothing else like it in the market today. 

Willy also conducts "On-Site Cigar Making Demonstrations" at cigar shows, cigar parties, conventions, shows, casinos, or other special occasions.
