Dear friends and followers,
I hope this post finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share some important news with all of you. After an incredible journey with PDR Cigars, I have made the decision to bid farewell and embark on a new chapter in my career.
I am immensely grateful to PDR Cigars for the amazing opportunities and experiences I’ve had during my time with the company. The support and trust they placed in me will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Making this decision wasn’t easy, but sometimes growth and self-discovery require us to take bold steps forward. I am excited to announce that I am moving ahead to grasp new opportunities that align with my personal and professional growth.
The journey doesn’t end here! I’m thrilled to share that I will remain a part of the cigar industry, continuing my passion for this incredible world. While I can’t spill all the beans just yet, I’m excited to let you know that the company I’m joining will be sharing more details soon through a press release.
Thank you all for your unwavering support, encouragement, and positivity throughout my journey. Your belief in me has been a driving force, and I can’t wait to bring you along on this exciting new adventure.
