I love working on new blends, but I love maintaining the experience of those blends, over and over. We are committed to growing from our core.

Ferio Tego isn’t built on trends; it’s built on trust. Four years in, our strategy hasn’t changed—it’s strengthened.

We believe in protecting what we’ve built; refining it, reinforcing it, and making sure every experience delivers what it should. Quality. Consistency. Trust. Ferio Tego!

Just a reminder to all attendees that we are BYOB. So feel free to bring something to drink while you come enjoy some of the world finest ci**rs!

Nothing brings people together the way handmade premium ci**rs do.

And only those who love this hobby as much as we do can truly understand it.

More than 100 years of premium cigar experience in one photo.

I met Rocky Patel in the late 1990s while I was still in college in Boston, back when he was building Indian Tabac. I met Nick Perdomo of Perdomo Ci**rs and Tim Ozgener, formerly of CAO and now OZ Family Ci**rs/Crowned Heads, in New York in the early 2000s when I first started at Davidoff’s Madison Ave Store.

Early in my career, I had the privilege of selling their brands at retail, sharing their stories and blends with consumers, and learning firsthand from these gentlemen who helped shape the modern premium cigar business.

Today, it’s meaningful to stand alongside them sharing Ferio Tego.

Of course we compete. We all want our brands to matter more to retailers and consumers. But not at the expense of one another’s success.

Over the years, these three have been generous with their time, support, encouragement, and advocacy for our young company. That says a great deal about who they are, and I’m grateful for their friendship.

PS — all four of us are musicians! Can you guess what instruments we play?
