 * Symbol question.svg Hook is short enough and interesting enough (though it might be more interesting if modified to refer to his "family cigar business") and is supported by in-line citations to reliable sources. Article is long enough and satisfies newness requirement with 5x expansion on June 30.  Article is also supported by citations to reliable sources. Spot-checking does not reveal instances of copyright violation, plagiarism or unduly close paraphrasing.  QPQ needs to be completed before this can receive a green tick.

 * QPQ provided. Fine to add "cigar" to the hook if desired. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:53, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
