Background

Shepherd spent almost 15 years in the United States of America where he met a lot of friends from the Dominican Republic and some European countries. On his return to Zimbabwe he had to set up a company that concentrated on hand rolled cigars for markets in Europe through the help of Dominican Republic expert Elias Lopez. Mafundikwa wants to develop a cigar market locally by making affordable brands, although economic conditions present an additional challenge: inflation is rampant and unemployment has topped 80 percent.^[1]
