About Our Founder

My name is Pedro Figueroa, founder of Vibes and Vitolas. My journey into cigar blending began with a simple goal: to create cigars that tell a story rather than simply fill a humidor. I immersed myself in learning every aspect of tobacco—from seed and soil to fermentation, aging, blending, and construction—earning my Certified Cigar Sommelier Tobacconist credentials while working alongside experienced growers and manufacturers in Nicaragua.

Every blend is the result of countless hours of tasting, refining, and chasing balance. Vibes and Vitolas was built on the belief that every cigar should create a memorable experience and bring people together. That passion became La Obra Del Destino, the first chapter of a brand dedicated to craftsmanship, authenticity, and the journey behind every leaf.

The 1952 Series

My first series — the 1952 — is dedicated to my father.

There was a time in my life when I was going through some hard things. What carried me through was leaning on everything my dad taught me. So when I finally put my name on a cigar, there was never a question about who it was for.

That's why the Ecuadorian Oscuro carries his nickname — the Chan Toro.

Every 1952 is rolled with that in mind: family, passion, culture, destiny.

This is only the beginning. Every cigar I blend is another step in my journey, and I invite you to follow along as Vibes and Vitolas continues to grow—one blend, one story, and one unforgettable smoke at a time.
