Luciano Cigars was founded by two cigar aficionados from two very distinct backgrounds. Luciano Meirelles, CEO and Co-Founder has more than a decade of experience in the cigar industry and a passion for all things cigars. Tiago Splitter is the other co-founder who shares the same passion for cigars as Luciano. But, prior to jumping into the premium cigar business, Tiago was the first Brazilian-born player to ever win an NBA championship in 2014 with the San Antonio Spurs. He is the assistant coach for the Houston Rockets. Handmade in Nicaragua, Luciano Cigars uses the finest premium tobaccos available to create unique blends that offer satisfying smoking experiences.
