The idea of Lefty’s began in 1910 on Hinsdale Street in the Brownsville-East New York section of Brooklyn when the original Lefty was born. Fast forward to the late 1970’s when the current proprietor would walk with his grandfather to the local cigar shop everyday to buy his two Te-Amo Presidentes. It was during these walks that his love for cigars was born. In 1997, a year after the original Lefty’s passing and in paying homage to his memory, I created the first Cigar Humidor Vending machine. After a year of success, New York as well as many other states banned smoking at restaurants and drinking establishments and we were out of business. But Lefty promised the Cigar world he would be back! In 2007 our first Humidor on Wheels was born. A 1959 Pre-Castro Chevy Panel Truck was fitted with a fine Spanish Cedar lining, the best humidification system that money could buy and custom painted with our Lefty’s logo. We have since expanded the fleet and currently service cigar enthusiasts in the tri-state area with passion, quality, and reliability 365 days a year.
