In this episode of the Colombia Calling podcast, social entrepreneur Francis Gillis shares his journey from the medical cannabis industry in Canada to establishing a premium cigar brand in Colombia. Discover the nuances of Colombian tobacco, the craft of cigar making, and the vision to put Colombia on the global cigar map. With Bribon cigars, he and his business partner have focused on quality and craftsmanship and have opened a cigar factory in Barichara, Santander, that has garnered attention both locally and internationally. The journey hasn't been easy, but seeing the revival of cigar craftsmanship in Barichara has been incredibly rewarding. www.briboncigars.com The Colombia Briefing is reported by Mathew Di Salvo.
