May 17, 2016 – David Blanco has an interesting life.   He was born with a rich tobacco heritage, counting Nestor Plasencia among his close relatives.  He embarked on a mission to create Blanco Cigars in 1998 and was enjoying great success when suddenly his world changed on September 11, 2001.  An active reservist, David suddenly found himself on two tours of duty in Afghanistan which necessitated closing his business.  Upon his return, he picked up where he had left off and began blending cigars once again.  Sal Lucchetta is bringing Blanco cigars to Canada this month for the very first time, so the timing couldn’t be better to have Sal and David on the show!
