Gill Florentino
The man behind the 14 Seasons Cigars Company, Gill Florentino, started his journey toward establishing a name in the cigar world at a very young age. He was inspired by his uncle, Daniel Diaz, who has owned cigar plantations in the Dominican Republic’s Gurabo, Higuey, and Tamboril areas since 1978. In 2018, our founder partnered with Francisco Padilla, his cousin, and a fifth-generation master cigar roller, to establish a business that expanded the family’s cigar plantation to a commercial level. With the prominence of the Grand Reserve Cigar line, named after Francisco Padilla, and our founder’s visionary business insight, 14 Seasons Cigars Company proudly brings six lines of premium cigars to cigar enthusiasts across America.
