RIP Don Alejandro Robaina

The crew here at Perdomo Cigars Australia would like to acknowledge the passing today of Don Alejandro Robaina, aged 91.

According to the BBC:

Mr Robaina, the only person to have a brand of Cuban cigars named after him, had been a roving ambassador for the country’s state-run cigar industry.
But more typically, he could be found on his small farm in the Vuelta Abajo region of western Cuba, tending his beloved tobacco plants.

As Jason tweeted:
They were right!! Cigars must be bad for your health. Don Alejandro Robaina dies at the young age of 91. May he RIP.
