Premium Cigar Culture · Rum Pairing · Presentation
Join cigar artisan and master blender Fermín Pérez for a Friday presentation and a Saturday beachside cigar session paired with Tanduay Rum.
Fermín Pérez will present on the craft, culture, and discipline behind premium cigars: tobacco selection, blending, rolling, aging, quality control, and the long road from leaf to finished cigar.
The session connects Cuban cigar tradition, modern Nicaraguan production, and the refined pairing culture shared by premium cigars, aged rum, and elegant spirits.
Saturday evening, Fermín Pérez hosts a cigar smoking session in the SandBox by Luau Palapa, with Tanduay Rum providing a pairing for the experience.
This is a relaxed beachside gathering built around smoke, rum, conversation, and the flavor bridge between aged spirits and premium hand-crafted cigars.
Cigar Artisan · Master Blender · Entrepreneur
Born in Habana, Cuba, Fermín Pérez Jr. built his cigar brand around Cuban tradition and modern craftsmanship. His cigars are handcrafted in Estelí, Nicaragua, where tobacco selection, blending, rolling, aging, and quality control are overseen with precision.
The brand draws from major tobacco-growing regions including Jalapa, Estelí, Condega, Pueblo Nuevo, Ometepe, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras.
These Hukilau appearances are designed for guests who want more than a casual cigar moment. The Friday presentation gives the background: how blends are developed, how tobacco regions affect character, and why premium cigars reward patience and detail.
The Saturday beach session puts that knowledge into practice with a hosted smoking experience and a Tanduay Rum pairing.
