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.
