Their mission and the exceptional quality of the LOFB Serie L resonated deeply with me. I was inspired to open several doors for LOFB through my network, which led to Adam offering me this exciting opportunity. I’m honored to be part of the League and look forward to driving our mission forward, one cigar at a time.”
Ferdinand’s extensive experience and deep connections within the industry are expected to be a driving force in advancing LOFB’s mission. His efforts will not only amplify awareness and support for men’s mental health but also redefine the essence of masculinity through the appreciation of premium cigars.
Adam Levine, LOFB founder, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “Ferdinand’s efforts in introducing our cigars to Singapore and facilitating key connections in other countries have been invaluable. His expertise and genuine dedication to our mission stood out, and it was clear that he belonged in the LOFB family. His insights and network are tremendous assets to our growing company, and we are beyond excited to have him on board.”
