Patoro, a European based company, is housed under the CLE distribution umbrella, and thus was located in the CLE booth with a number of other brands.

Started in 2014, it almost immediately offered some of its lines to the U.S. market. Some of those offerings were tweaked versions or blends of the European lines, but with the newest addition to the American market, that was not the case.

I have been smoking cigars since 2005 and reviewing them as a hobby since 2010. Initially, I started out small with a 50-count humidor and only smoking one or two cigars a month. Not knowing anybody else that smoked cigars, it was only an occasional hobby that I took part in. In March of 2010, I joined Nublive and Cigar Asylum, connecting me with many people who also shared an interest in cigars. Reading what they had to say about brands I had never heard of, I quickly immersed myself in the boutique brands of the industry and it was then that cigars transformed from a hobby into a passion.
