Avelino Lara spent his entire life in the cigar business. Once the personal cigar roller for Fidel Castro, he ran the famous El Laguito factory in Havana, where he helped create some of Cuba's most recognizable brands including Cohiba, Trinidad Diplimatico and many more. After retiring in 1996 he moved to Nassau, Bahamas, but unable to stay away from cigars he soon found himself working with Paolo and Enrico Garzaroli to create cigars for the family's famous Graycliff Hotel and Resort.
To this day Graycliff cigars are made on the property of the Graycliff Hotel & Restaurant in Nassau, Bahamas using traditional Cuban rolling methods and the finest tobaccos in the world.
