LA HOJA DEL CHAN

José Gabriel Cruz Ayala and his wife began producing and distributing cigars in 2017. La Hoja del Chan also has its own brand, El Chan Cigar, an artisanal cigar made in Caguas, "with the aroma of resilience," in Jose's words. For this is a story of resilience, which this former mechanic and teacher of mechanics, now a passionate convert, will be sure to tell you if you pass by. The tobacco leaves are partly imported from Nicaragua, the manufacturing process is 100% local.
