(Miami, FL) September 29, 2011— Torano Family Cigar Co. has taken another step to strengthen its team as President Charlie Torano is proud to announce the hiring of fellow family member Jack Torano as the Marketing & Customer Relations Manager. Jack Torano brings along an excellent reputation for customer service, branding, and public relations. The addition of Jack Torano is the latest in many big moves made by the Torano Family after taking back their distribution.
Jack Torano, a native of Miami, Fl. got his start in the tobacco business when he was employed with Lopez Leaf Tobacco in the early 80’s. With a last name like Torano it isn’t a surprise that he started his career in the tobacco business, but where he went next is quite an interesting tale. Jack Torano found himself in Chicago for the last 16 years working along-side his brother Sandy Torano in a company called Scandal Music. Scandal Music wrote jingles for television and radio commercials. Jack’s strong sense of branding and marketing in addition to his lively personality allowed him to help create ads with companies such as McDonalds, Nintendo, and was even part of the team that created the very successful “Real Men of Genius” campaign for Bud Light. A highlight for Jack was when Scandal Music had the privilege of creating music for the Oprah Winfrey Show. Jack’s love of premium cigars brought him back to Miami and into the family business.

It took us 16 years to get him back in Miami”, Charlie Torano continued,” it’s always a great feeling to work alongside family members as we all carry that same passion for cigars”.
The past year has been one of great change for the Torano Family. New logo, new company name, new brands, and new faces round out the positive changes that the company has undergone. Charlie Torano said,” I feel strongly that we have all the right pieces and persons in place to move Torano Family Cigar Co. into a position to provide retailers and ultimately our customers with the best cigars and service possible.
Jack Torano will replace Oliver Hyams who is going to work with his father, Gary Hyams. “Oliver is a great friend and a fantastic person.
