Interview of Alexander Groom author of El Habano Moderno

I interviewed Alexander Groom author of El Habano Moderno and owner and manager of the famous website "Cuban Cigar Website" (www.cubancigarwebsite.com). The interview took place at the Casa del Habano in Kuwait city and I must thank the Al Mansour family for their kindness and generosity. Alexander is telling us about his Cuban cigar journey, how he came to own and manage Cuban Cigar Website and he is presenting his new book: El Habano Moderno. Enjoy ! Many thanks to Alexander Groom for his time.

Thank you, Laurant, for this interview with Alex Groom. Good to hear how he first got into CCW with Trevor. Luckily, we have all the copies of El Habano Moderno in our collection. The CCW is a wealth of information that every person in the cigar world looks up for confirmation and information. Alex, look forward to seeing you at Havana Festival 2024; if you have time, we could share a cigar with Laurant and you.

Thank you for this video! It's nice to hear more about Alexander and can't wait for him to go to his first Habanos festival, I would bet he will be like a rock star there. Hope he finds time to enjoy it on his own terms! I would love to buy the book he mentioned with old, vintage cigars. Hopefully he will write it one day!
