Jun 23

Little Havana, Miami, FL - Growing up in Cuba, Peter Bello never knew life without the scent of cigars filling the rooms of his home. Cigars were simply part of everyday life to everyone in Cuba and it was not until Peter moved to Miami at the age of 10 that he realized other children did not grow up the same way. His family started their cigar business over 100 years ago in the Canary Islands, moved it to Cuba then to Miami during the revolution. In this episode, Peter speaks about being a present owner, his care for his customers, and his family proudly wanting to carry on the business for the next 100 years.
