I've been in the cigar industry a long time — first as an editor at Cigar Snob Magazine, and later as a partner and cigar program director at one of Miami's premier cigar bars. I got into woodworking to make items for use at that bar and shared photos on social media. Before long, I was in deep enough that it only made sense that I go all-in. Now I make ashtrays, cigar torches, humidors, and some other non-cigar items like cutting boards and tables.
