The RoMa Craft booth was a great looking booth again, as always, and even though it was the first booth I visited when the doors opened, they were almost immediately busy.

With plenty going on at the Fabrica de Tobacos Nica Sueño factory, you might think that RoMa Craft the brand would get lost in the fray, but there’s no rest for the weary and they had plenty to show off.

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.
