Official Tangier's statement.
It is with a heavy heart that Tangiers announces the passing of its founder and president, Eric Hofmann (1971-2021). Eric passed away early this morning after being diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism. Eric’s passion for ho**ah led to new industry innovations such as the Phunnel bowl, Noir to***co, dense packing, and the use of oyster forks. We want to reassure our ho**ah family and friends that operations at Tangiers will continue as normal and that Tess Castillo, Tangiers’ vice president and the first employee ever hired by Eric, will become its new leader.
Tess’s institutional knowledge and strong leadership skills will ensure that Eric’s legacy of producing innovative ho**ah products continues.
A special thank you to all of our loyal customers around the world who support Tangiers. We promise each of you that we will honor Eric’s memory by continuing to produce what we believe is the world’s best ho**ah to***co.
