Baracoa Cigar Co. Shuts Down, Cites FDA
Danny Vazquez has announced that he is shutting down Baracoa Cigar Co.
In a letter, he cited uncertainty with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s (FDA) deeming regulations on premium cigars.
It is with a heavy heart that I announce today, that Baracoa Cigar Company will be closing its doors and The Voyage has ended.
Due to the unsure state of the looming FDA regulations. I’ve decided that it is in the best interest for a company my size, to not move forward.
I want to thank everyone in the industry as well as the great brotherhood of cigar smokers for the amazing support and love that I have received over the past year. These memories will last forever with me. I will continue to be part of the cigar community as well as the social media groups that I have made so many new friends with.
Thank you for everything! And remember, NEVER SETTLE
Danny Vazquez
Vazquez launched Baracoa a little over a year ago with a two-size line made at La Aurora Cigar Factory called The Voyage.
