In the fall of 2007, Rolando Reyes, Sr. stepped down as President of Puros Indios, Inc., and appointed his son Rolando Reyes Junior, to be his successor. As the new President, he was overthrown by sister Oneida, Husband Enrique Diez, and two sons. They took all of the family properties and put it under their name prior to Rolando's death. They kept the family inheritance and never spoke to the remaining siblings until today. They completely threw Rolando Junior out of the Cigar business. Rolando Jr. was the only one that learned from senior the Family secret of making the cigars. They changed the name of the company to Reyes Cigars, Inc., and announced the introduction of three new lines of cigars using completely new artwork for the bands and packaging. This is a family with a lot of hidden conflicts that are kept secret. None of the siblings get along. Oneida and husband have stolen all of the hard work by Mr. and Mrs. Rolando Reyes. They only wanted to benefit themselves and children. What a sad story about this family. There were threats, domestic violence, and much more. I hope that one of them has the nerve to make a story one day about the trouble behind closed doors. Money cannot buy everything. JR
