Unlike a bad guy, his Maduro cigar won't kick you in the head. Discover Porto Real, actor Alex Estrella's boutique cigar brand. Porto Real cigars are tasty Dominican and Nicaragua blends that are affordable. Cigars are from $8 to $12.

When playing a ne'er-do-well in a film or series, Alex would often smoke a cigar. (Hey, cigar smokers are not so bad!) So it's natural that the actor parlayed his love of smokes into a cigar biz. Alex and Boveda's Drew Emmer talk cigar storage and more at PCA 2024, the preeminent event for premium cigar and pipe industry.

What is Boveda? Cigar makers recommend Boveda 2-way humidity control wherever you store cigars. Boveda preserves the flavor and character of premium cigars by keeping them at ideal humidity. Use Boveda B84 packets to season your wood humidor before adding cigars. And then keep cigars well-humidified with Boveda B69 packets in your humidor. Boveda prevents cigars from drying out and mold growth. With Boveda in your humidor, you'll enjoy full flavor and a perfect smoke from every cigar.
