Giacomo’s Cigars was started in June of 2010 by physician and pediatric ophthalmologist Dr. Jack Guggino. The blending process took over 2 1/2 years and resulted in a cigar that reminded Guggino of his mother's labor of love. Giovanna Gucciardo Guggino hand rolled the Churchill cigar for 40 years at Santaella and Garcia y Vega cigar factories in Tampa. Guggino fondly recalls the aroma of the Cuban tobacco leaf when his mother picked him up from school. The memory of that woodsy, pleasant and appealing aroma reminds him of the of his mother's sacrifice in the hot and humid cigar factories. As a tribute to her he wanted to blend a cigar that recaptured those wonderful and appreciative memories. Thus the Giacomo series.

The Giacomo Series

The Giacomo series includes the Churchill, Torpedo, Robusto, Lancero the box pressed Perfecto 102 and the box pressed Perfecto 102 Maduro. The cigars are blended with tobaccos from five different countries. The taste is complex, robust yet smooth and has an enticing aroma. The cigar has received high ratings amongst cigar aficionados and is now sold in over 30 locations in the Tampa Bay area, Bradenton and Sarasota.

All the tobaccos in the Giacomo cigar are aged at least three years. The countries represented are the United States, Nicaragua, Honduras, Dominican Republic and Ecuador.
