Reinier Lorenzo was born and raised in Cuba, growing up on a farm in Havana City. In 2008, just only 23 years old, Reinier left Cuba and came to the United States. After catching the cigar making bug from the Fernandez family of Aganorsa, he would work two jobs instead of one: Animal Genetics Lab Tech by day, HVC salesperson by night and weekends. With what he learned along the way, and continues to discover, HVC is in hundreds of stores and Reinier has opened his own factory – Fabrica de Tabacos HVC S.A.
