Houston, TX– Houston philanthropist, entrepreneur and boss babe, Candace Ford, who is known for her work empowering young women through Project Beautiful Me organization and her one of a kind podcast “Champagne and Cigars” is excited to announce her next venture of women empowerment, Premium L.L.C. Authentic Cigars. The upscale exclusive invite-only launch of Lady Loves Cigars (L.L.C.) is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 3rd at 80 Sports Bar & Lounge.

The Lady Loves Cigars (L.L.C.) is a premium authentic cigar brand designed for women who share the same desire as men in the smoke world. CEO, Candace Ford, a cigar smoker of over 15 years, plans to break barriers and prove all myths to be untrue of cigar life being solely for men and introduce the world to the new classy cigar lifestyle for the powerful, bossed up, woman.

“I’m often asked, ‘What made you want to start your own cigar line?’. I started it 1st, because I love to unwind with a nice cigar, but I believe women are misunderstood in this industry.  As a woman who smokes cigars, I want to encourage confidence and respect for women who are in this industry, or women who just like to smoke. The market caters to men, which I get, but I am to change that strategy. Target the women and the men will follow. Not vice versa.”-Candace Ford, L.L.C. CEO.

Just like an LLC in business, LLC Cigars is not a partnership or a corporation but rather a distinct type of entity that has the powers, just like cigars. The LLC collection is meticulously designed and tested to pair perfectly with the unique palette that women alone possess. Although exclusively designed for women, the LLC collection can be enjoyed by all who are passionate about fine cigars.

Guests attending the invite-only launch will have the opportunity to be the first to purchase the premium cigar collection, which will consist of cigars selectively titled:

THE CEO

THE DIRECTOR

THE PRESIDENT

THE CHAIRMAN

Confirmed special guests include: TJ Ford-Retired NBA Player, DJ Augustin-Houston Rockets, Ken Hamlin-Retired NFL Player, D-Wreck Dixon-CEO of Wreckshop Records, James Posey-Retired NBA Player/Coach and sounds by special guest DJ, DJ Supastar.
