It all started in 1998 when I walked into a cigar shop for the first time in Brooklyn, NY. A desire to try something new led to life long friendships and a career in the cigar industry. I served as a shop manager, blogger, shop owner, writer, marketing coordinator, sales and was an award winning podcaster. After 25 years, I decided it was time to leave the cigar industry. Cigars are still as a passion of mine as is bourbon so I continue the legacy with this website.... Cheers & Long Ashes!
