Launching in a segment estimated to total $22.43 billion globally in 20231 Sacrificio Cigars is Cabrera's first official venture into the cigar industry, inspired by his deep Cuban heritage, hospitality culture and passion for fine cigars.

"Throughout my life, I have admired my father's love for cigars, so my vision for Sacrificio Cigars became dedicated to honoring my family's strong Cuban heritage and our rich cultural traditions," said Cabrera. "To ensure the highest quality, we've partnered with award winning Oliva Cigar Co. to create a super-premium line of cigars made with the finest tobaccos and an exceptional, unique taste profile to elevate the smoking experience for beginners and connoisseurs alike."
