Only months removed from departing Altadis, José Seijas has found a new project in La Romana—rolling La Flor Dominicana Air Benders. As first reported by David Savona, Seijas is partnering with Gomez in order to better expand the reach of the La Flor Dominicana brand, particularly to tourist visiting the Dominican Republic.

Seijas is partnered with Charlie and Rubin Gonzales at New World Cigars, an operation that will bring tourists to the La Ramona factory, which is set to open on September 7th.

I am an editor and co-founder of halfwheel.com/Rueda Media, LLC. I previously co-founded and published TheCigarFeed, one of the two predecessors of halfwheel. I have written about the cigar industry for more than a decade, covering everything from product launches to regulation to M&A. In addition, I handle a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff here at halfwheel. I enjoy playing tennis, watching boxing, falling asleep to the Le Mans 24, wearing sweatshirts year-round and eating gyros. echte liebe.
