Rivera, the Cohiba Man by Edo Cruz is a captivating and deeply engaging read. The story centers on Rivera, who fell in love with Rosa when they were just thirteen. Together, they moved to San Agustín, driven by the belief that Cuban soil could yield the most flavorful mangoes in the world. Their journey wasn’t easy—especially during the years when Rivera became consumed by his obsession with crafting the perfect cigar.

Rivera’s connection to tobacco began at the age of eleven under the guidance of his first mentor, El Chino. By sixteen, he had moved from the fields to the factory—a transition that proved to be a profound cultural shock. Through years of discipline and dedication, Rivera developed his own philosophy of cigar rolling. Eventually, he joined the La Corona factory, resolute in his ambition to become the finest twister in Cuba.

What makes this book truly remarkable is its portrayal of a man whose artistry stems from passion and perseverance—whose hands tell stories as eloquently as his heart. Edo Cruz’s writing is elegant yet powerful, drawing readers in with every page. The story is immersive and beautifully written. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of it—Cruz has crafted an exceptional piece of literature.
