Famed former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz paid a visit to a Raynham smoke shop Tuesday night hoping to hit a home run with his new business venture: cigars.
Ortiz started manufacturing the cigars last year when he needed something special to smoke at his annual charity golf tournament, said Brennan’s Smoke Shop owner Geoffrey Brennan.
“He got involved in blending it and making it his own cigar how he wanted it,’’ Brennan said. “People liked it so much, and it’s a good cigar, so they manufactured it.’’
The cigars are a blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco and a box of 20 retails for $260, Brennan said.
