How We Got Started

The De La Guardia Cigar brand began with a commitment to excellence, legacy, and celebrating life’s special moments.

Co-founder, Daniela De La Guardia is the first-generation American in her family; her mother born in Sicily and her father born in Cuba. She comes from a lineage of entrepreneurs and cigar experts. Her paternal great-grandfather, Eliseo Gomez, learned everything about cigars and was a lecturer for cigar rollers in Havana, Cuba. Her maternal grandfather, Joe Troia, was a strong business-minded man from Sicily with a methodical but “go for it” spirit.

Daniela’s passion for cigars began at a young age. Employed as a cigar sales specialist for a local cigar shop in Omaha, she spent hundreds of hours in the el humidor, teaching herself the history and art of cigars. The shop had over 200 cigars and she learned about each and every one.

That’s when fate met Daniela’s passion. Her dream of creating a unique cigar brand began.

Just like the gentlemen said below, if it keeps you from the reason why you started doing your business then you should consider a Professional Employers Organization, PEO. This is what I do. Bring value to all companies that wish to grow and do what they love. There's no reason why YOU should be doing it. HR and Payroll do not make you money. Let the experts handle it. You'll end up saving substantially in the long run. There is value in that.

My advice to all employers that have 5-200 employees is - Hire a PEO to handle all your HR needs to keep you in compliant and benefit from their economical scale of health benefits to attract great employees.

This is the time to cut those costs down and focus on revenue only. Having that peace of mind to have a PEO handle all of your WC, payroll, HR, and health insurance is key to maintain a growing successful company.

If I was the server I would simply say to my customer, we have had a few changes, please take a good look at our menu and I would highly recommend...The chicken piccata. If they say “may I have the lamb instead of the chicken”, I would respond “sure that sounds great!”. If the lamb is not on that... (more) If I was the server I would simply say to my customer, we have had a few changes, please take a good look at our menu and I would highly recommend...The chicken piccata. If they say “may I have the lamb instead of the chicken”, I would respond “sure that sounds great!”. If the lamb is not on that menu and I know that, I would mention that it will be a few dollars more. so yes in this case I think it would be wise and considerate. If the price difference is on that menu, I would still be sure to let them know. Plus, I bet that my tip would be higher than if I did not say anything at all. ;-)
