Frank Herrera has been involved in the cigar industry for 10 years, first as a trademark lawyer and now with his own brand. He is one of the only trademark attorneys to stand up to Cuba's cigar monopoly. Most of the cases that he represents against Cuba's cigar monopoly are on a pro bono basis.  After years of fighting Cuba with little or no resources (or help), Frank started Cigarlaw.com: a website dedicated to chronicling the cigar trademark wars between US brand owners and Cuba's cigar monopoly.  Cigarlaw.com started as a simple way to document these fights, but is now read by most industry insiders as a source and reference for cigar trademark disputes. 

About the brand: 

La Caridad Del Cobre is Cuba’s Patron Saint. She is the only thing constant about Cuban culture. Since the beginning of her appearance which is thought to begin in 1608, Cuba has experienced many changes. However, for over 400 years Cuba’s Patron Saint represents the strength and resolve of the Cuban people, whether they live in Cuba, in exile, or wherever they may be in the world. Our cigars are made in the Cuban tradition, designed and produced by Cubans living in exile. While we may not live in Cuba, the tradition of quality cigar making continues and we want to share it with you.
