Rocky Patel of Rocky Patel Cigars to Run for President

With news breaking of cigar maker Rocky Patel’s bid for an independent campaign for President, Arthur Zaretsky — Famous Smoke Shop owner and CEO — has officially announced his support, and the backing of his heritage company, for Patel’s run: “We are overdue in nominating a common-sense candidate like Rocky Patel. I know Rocky. I believe in his platform, and that’s why I support his candidacy for President.” As the head of the country’s largest American-owned premium cigar retailer, Zaretsky is well-acquainted with the new candidate — and given Arthur’s perception of what he calls “overall, a weak field,” notes that the Famous Smoke Shop endorsement was earned on the basis of the platform established by the Rocky Patel Cigars CEO earlier today.
“I’m very concerned about our country’s future,” says Rakesh “Rocky” Patel, CEO of Rocky Patel Cigars. That concern has encouraged the premium cigar maker to make a write-in bid for President of the United States as an Independent candidate.
“Mr. Patel feels the time is right: with the first filing deadlines still 8 weeks away, he has secured enough signatures to compete in 22 states so far — including Tennessee, New Jersey, all of New England and many of the Southeast and Plains states — and is well on his way to a spot on the California, Utah, New Mexico and Texas ballots, with substantial grassroots support.” Read More>
