Nick Fouquet Lights his Hat on Fire at the Los Angeles Says Hello to Humito – The World’s First Smoked Silver Tequila by Maestro Dobel Tequila

Fashion hat designer Nick Fouquet and Humito ambassador hosted an exclusive launch event of the world’s first ever smoked silver tequila. To commemorate the launch of this rare tequila, the French-born hat designer and fashion icon who has custom designed hats for Madonna, Pharrell, Bob Dylan, Carine Roitfeld, Gigi Hadid and Sia gave an equally rare performance by showcasing his hat making method which involves smoke, fire and hand crafting much like Humito. “When everyone in the world wants to be the best, its important to remember what it means to be different. To stand out. And that’s what Humito is about,” said Fouquet in his heartwarming speech. It is a spirit much like the passion of all who land in LA.
