Up Close & Personal with Nick Perdomo, President of Perdomo Cigars

Join Nick Perdomo and I as we talk about the remarkable man and story behind the Perdomo company, and cigars! Born in Washington, D.C., Nick moved with his family to Miami in 1976 to be closer to relatives and their Cuban culture. Nick attended school in Miami until joining the United States Navy where he proudly served as an Air Traffic Controller. After serving his country, Nick continued his career as an Air Traffic Controller at Miami International Airport. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather and father who were both cigar-makers in Cuba, Nick decided to pursue his passion by opening his very own cigar company. What started as a home business in his garage is now a 2000+ employee business with an 88,000 square-foot manufacturing facility producing millions of the world’s finest premium hand-made cigars every year. Perdomo brands can be found across the United States, as well as in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Nick and his wife, Janine, have two wonderful children, Nicholas and Natalie. In addition to spending time with his family, Nick loves to play the drums, dominos, and working out with his son at the local gym in the mornings. www.PerdomoCigars.com
