Alejandro “Alex” González Arias isn’t just a cigar roller, he’s a legend. Widely regarded as one of Cuba’s most recognized torcedores (the highest level of rolling mastery) Alex rose from the elite El Laguito Cigar Factory (home of Cohiba) to crafting cigars for royalty and global icons.

Since graduating in 2006, his talent quickly set him apart, rolling at Cohiba until 2013 before taking his craft to the prestigious Hotel Comodoro, a post reserved for only the best. His precision and blending skill have earned features in top publications and worldwide recognition.

Today, Alex creates bespoke cigars for dignitaries, including the Sultan of Malaysia and Middle Eastern royalty, as well as high-profile names like Michael Jordan, Joe Jonas, and Ray Lewis, cementing his place at the top of the cigar world.
