Xikar to Promote New Defiance

Dear XIKAR Friend,

Portrait of XIKAR CEO Kurt Van Keppel

For over ten years, we have worked diligently
to bring you the best thing to happen to cigars since fire. During that time, we've come to know many of the world's finest cigar makers - and taste their best creations.  

When it came time to create XIKAR's first cigar, we knew that the cigar maker had to share our obsession of a quality product from start to finish. Our treasure hunt began to find just that maker & that perfect cigar to smoke morning, noon or night.  We are proud to say that the search is over. Defiance™ Cigars, handmade by our great friends Jesus Fuego & Tobacos, S.A., are truly a treasure to enjoy this summer:

Now get a taste of YOUR new favorite cigar...on us!! From the rave reviews, we know you won't be disappointed.

Sincerely,
Kurt Van Keppel
President

History, Heritage & Quality

Our great friend Jesus Fuego brings immense history, heritage & quality to the cigars he creates.

Born & raised on one of 4 farms in the renowned Pinar Del Rio region of Cuba, (links to Wikipedia.com) Jesus learned how to grow, age, blend and roll the best tobaccos to make best cigars. Years later, he left his homeland to create many cigar blends you enjoy today. Jesus now owns and operates his own cigar enterprise JFuego and makes Defiance Cigars for XIKAR.

Jesus Fuego's talent for creating great tasting cigars makes him a rising star among today's tobacco blenders. To read more about him, his philosophy on cigars and what life was like growing up in the business, click here. Adobe pdf
