Greetings Cigar Enthusiasts

What would the world be like if there weren’t fine cigars to puff on?  I hesitate to think on that for long.  Cigar smoking, for those who take the time to appreciate it, is not a distraction, it’s an art.  To appreciate the love, time, and skill that goes into a premium hand-crafted cigar is to appreciate the finer things in life.

My love of the cigar goes back over 20 years.  All long the way it’s been a great journey as my tastes mature and change.  It makes the destination unimportant; What you’re enjoying along the way is worth the longest detour.

Along my travels I came across this kid.  I found him in a dorm room when I decided to head back to college and finish my education.  As hard as I tried to be a good role model and lead him towards the light…. At some point I pulled him into the world of stogies.  What I didn’t know then is this escape from reality would become Justin’s reality.

Now, he resides in Vegas and comes across the finest, most expensive cigars that he enjoys on a daily basis sitting in front of a camera, sharing his thoughts with the world… While I, choosing what seemed to be a noble path in pedagogy, live a simpler life.  A life of occasional mediocre cigars, but nothing too uppity.

So, it occurred to me— If the once mentor (now student) could provide a review here or there… perhaps Justin could “throw me a bone” occasionally?  This would take form of a humble brown package sent by UPS to my humble grotto here in New Hampshire?  What would a considerably older Yoda observe, compared to Master Skywalker on the same cigar?  I thought it would be worth a try.

So, unless there is a massive email campaign to take me off of LasVegASH TV, you might hear from me from time to time.   Right Master Justin?
