Foundation and first steps

Horacio was founded in 2008 by Christophe Leroy, Fabien Gil and Sylvain Toaldo, inspired by a trip to Costa Rica. Passionate about cigars, the three friends decided to share their passion by launching the initial production of their cigars in this country. It was here that they began to explore and refine their art.
