History

Paul Garmirian founded his company in 1990 after doing extensive research on cigars for his book The Gourmet Guide To Cigars, published the same year. Paul Garmirian separates himself from other cigar manufacturers because he does not sell to discount catalogs or wholesalers. He sticks true to his word and limits the number of shops that can carry his product.
