For over 35 years, Den and Kev have shared a profound friendship and an unyielding passion for the Buffalo Bills. Their bond goes beyond their love for football; it encompasses a deep appreciation for cigars and the rich culture surrounding them. Despite living in different time zones and managing demanding careers, they saw an opportunity to create something special together. Thus, Cigar Mafia was born, with a mission to offer premium cigars at affordable prices and cultivate a community of camaraderie and relaxation.
Several times a year, Den and Kev rendezvous in Las Vegas to watch football games at their favorite spot, the Montecristo Cigar Lounge at Caesars Palace. Amidst lobster mac & cheese and spirited discussions about Bills legends like Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and Josh Allen, they dream of the day when their "Victory or Celebration" cigars will be part of a Super Bowl win for the Bills.
Cigar Mafia is more than just a business; it’s a lifestyle. Den and Kev aim to inspire others to slow down, relax, connect with friends, and create lasting memories through the enjoyment of fine cigars.
As they’ve grown older, Den and Kev have come to realize that experiences and enjoyment become more important than material gains. They believe that time is more valuable than money, and their venture into Cigar Mafia is a testament to this belief.
