David Alicea (Fine Tobacco NYC)

David Alicea is a professional cigar broker and has worked in the industry for over a decade. He is currently serving as the Senior Event Associate in Fine Tobacco NYC. 18 years ago, David was hanging out with a co-worker at the time who liked cigars. He suggested the Padron 2000 natural robust size to smoke, and although David had no idea what to do with the cigars, he loved the experience and set himself to learning as much as possible about cigars.

That road has provided a lot of new experiences, flavors, and aromas. Opus X, Padron, Davidoff Millenium, Don Carlos, Rocky Patel 1992 vintage, Don Pepin Blue Label, and Tatuaje Black, to name a few. After a few years in the tobacco industry, David decided he needed to go back to his true passion which is art. But he still enjoys meeting new people, hearing stories, and most of all smoking.
