Puro Humo

North Carolina Import Company Introduces Puro Humo Brand

 

( RALEIGH NC April 14, 2008)--One of the Dominican Republic’s premier cigar brands is now being sold in the United States. Currently available only through special order, Puro Humo is being brought to the United States by C&R Imports of Raleigh NC.  The two cigar brands initially being sold in the US are Prida and Galiano. Importers Juan Chirino and Angel Perez, both first-generation Americans of Dominican descent, are excited about bringing one of the Dominican Republic’s most popular cigar brands to the States.

 

“We were really surprised that this well-known, highly regarded cigar had never been sold in this country,” said Chirino, president of C&R Imports. “Even the most demanding cigar smoker will appreciate these fine cigars, which are rolled with Cuban piloto filler, Dominican aroma binder, Connecticut, Ecuadorean or Brazilian ripe wrappers, Dominican or Indonesia capote and carefully selected, well-aged Dominican tobacco”.

 

Puro Humo cigars are known for their soft smoke, even burn and light grey ash. The cigars are currently only available in the United States by special order. For ordering information, contact C&R Imports and Distribution at 919-272-4165 or visit www.cnrimports.com.
