About us
Our passion for consistency and purity in Crescendo Paraiso finds its roots in a legacy passed down from our roller’s Cuban maestro Felo, who during the cigar boom of the mid-1990s at the legendary Cohiba factory El Laguito inspired generations of cigar rollers to infuse every cigar with unwavering quality.
While mass production dominates the industry, our family-owned business stands apart. Crescendo Paraiso‘s legacy of pride and integrity lives on in every hand-crafted cigar we roll, ensuring unwavering consistency and purity.
OUR FACTORY
Our factory is located in Tamboril, municipality of the Santiago province, not far from the city of Santiago de los Caballeros.
Our team of 25 skilled rollers, roll 65,000 exquisite cigars each month, while we are working to expand our production floor to welcome another 25 rollers, with a future goal to craft up to 200,000 cigars monthly.
