Cigar Experts - Meet the Staff - Uptown Cigar Company

Uptown Cigar Staff

Justin, Jonathan Drew and Israel
Israel is a genuine BOTL (Brother of the Leaf). He was with us when we first opened Uptown Cigar Company in 1996, but took a 7 year hiatus back to Miami where he continued to learn about cigars. Two years ago, he returned to Kingston to help manage the store with Diane, (who is the "true glue" here). Right now, our Cigar Guru, Israel, has been raving about Don Pepin, La Flor Dominicana,Drew Estate Liga Privada and of course any and all Padrons. Thanks to his HERF buddies, he has been the recipient of many other vintage smokes. Join Israel on Uptown Cigar's facebook page...you never know where the next HERF will be.
