Meet Your Host - Orlando Perez

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California to Cuban parents, Orlando knew early on that cigar smoking was part of his heritage. He started smoking cigars in his teenage years after spending quality time with his father, who would frequently light up while telling him stories of his time in Cuba. After decades of indulging in cigars and being a part of the cigar community, Orlando decided to start, Deaf Smoke. He wanted to share his wealth of knowledge with others, as he understands there are many new and seasoned individuals in the industry who are seeking to be educated on everything to do with cigars. Orlando’s motive and passion for Deaf Smoke simply started because he wanted to create a ‘lounge-like’ cigar experience for like-minded cigar enthusiasts. Aside from his passion for cigars, Orlando spends his day-to-day as an experienced REALTOR® and hosts a second podcast entitled “The Orlando Perez Show”.

Orlando now resides in the freedom State of Florida.
