El Mago Cigars is a brand steeped in personal history and family legacy, born from the incredible life journey of Maria and Gonzalo Torre, fondly known as Babi and Pepe. The name “El Mago,” which means “The Wizard,” is a tribute to the magic they created together, despite the challenges life presented. The brand was founded by their grandson, Nicolas Fusco, who, in 2022, became the youngest cigar brand owner, debuting this heartfelt project as a way to honor his grandparents’ enduring spirit and love. Their story, marked by perseverance and resilience, is now carried forward in every El Mago cigar.
Crafted in a boutique factory in Nicaragua, El Mago cigars are a celebration of the Cuban tradition of cigar smoking that was passed down to Nicolas by his grandparents. El Mago's lineup is known for its vibrant packaging, reflecting the lively spirit of the regions from South Miami to Cuba. Each cigar is a symbol of Maria and Gonzalo's journey across five countries, ultimately finding a home in Miami, where they built a life against all odds.
