About

I come from a family of entrepreneurs and I have always wanted to have my own business, like my father did. People will always give the advice related to work, " Do what you love!" Well here it is; I love cigars and I love coffee!
Having your own business really takes self governance and is a labor of love. This endeavor would not be possible without God's grace, encouragement from my wife and our three kiddos, and the support of a small town of Troy, Ohio. CICO is my way of plugging in to a community of connoisseurs and enthusiasts from all classes that happen to have a like-minded way of bonding, relaxing, and celebrating! Speaking of celebrating,

" cigars have long accompanied celebrations. We mark all kinds of biggest moments of life with a cigar in our hand. Getting married, having a baby, receiving a promotion, and teams winning championships represent epic occasions to break out the fine cigars."

Make everyday epic by joining me at CICO!

Rooster

Biblically it’s about (Matthew 26:75). The rooster represents Peter’s denial of Christ and as a result stands for his remorse upon hearing the rooster’s crow. I chose the rooster as a visual symbol to be a call to repent daily. The colors also have significant meaning. I’ll just focus on the most import being the purple crown of royalty. It’s for the King of Kings!

Lastly, culturally for many the rooster is a sign of strength and masculinity.

Philosophy

Cigars and coffee bring people together by providing a shared sensory experience and a reason for people to engage in slow-paced, meaningful conversations and bonding. This shared origin of both leaf and fruit natural connection are often celebrated by the enthusiast who appreciate the craftsmanship behind both products just as those of us from similar experiences vibe with each other
