Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We are a new business in town. What we are bringing is a rich tradition and a beautifull culture that is the Fine Boutique Cigar industry. Our short term goal is to bring a new understanding of the boutique hand rolled cigar that is being produced by Cuban master rollers in Miami. Our long term goal is to become a permanent fixture in the Salisbury community and develop a strong network of business and familly roots here.
What is your primary product or service?
We will be introducing fine hand rolled cigars that are being manufactured in Miami. Our product is primarilly made from Cuban seed stock, or plant stock that is of Cuban origins. The product is then shipped to factories in Miami and is taken over at that time by masters of the craft with a minimum of 15-20 years rolling cigars. We will also be showcasing traditional cigar names that have been around since the time of our grandfathers. We look forward to all those who care to come in and become a part of our shopping experience and who wish to enjoy the lounge environment.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I first became involved with the boutique cigar industry in Miami when as an interior designer I was approached to work on a private lounge in a South Beach nightclub. The lounge would cater to cigar aficionados and would also have a private bar area. Through the past few yars I worked on several other similar projects and enjoyed each and everyone. Eventually I transitioned from Interior design retail store and private clientele work into the world of the Cigar industry. I concider myself a humble novice in this culture. I also look forward to learning not only from the representatives of the private labels I will sell in the store, but from you our knowledgeable patrons.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
The main difference we offer is best said in this statement " a wonderfull environment where friends and familly members can come and enjoy themselves". The other is this, we are a familly based business that has never forgotten our simple origins and hard work ethics. We will always strive to be there for you our patrons in all things possible.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
This is our first location, and plans are to open a second one next year also here in North Carolina, and a third in neighboring Tennessee. Where ever else we go, I leave that to destiny and the good Lord.
Provide detailed directions to your location
For those who are computer and internet savy please Google our name in Google map and you will have exact directions that way. For those like myself a little on the traditional side, give me a call at the store and I'll guide you in personally. This is the number 704-637-3202.
What type of payments do you accept?
We take Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Cash, Land Titles, Pink Slips on your cars, and Gold bars. The last three is a little humor on todays economy. We work with everything hope you can enjoy the humor in that.
Which areas do you service?
I welcome all, from any part of this great city and its neighboring cities as well.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
My name is Dunkan R. Echevarria at your service. I don't concider myself the owner. I concider myself just a simple caretaker and those who come in to give patronage to our store the true owners.
What are your hours of operation?
We will open from 12 noon to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Fridays and Saturday we will stay open untill Midnite... maybe later. Sundays we rest.
