Greetings from Southern California

[Cigarth Vader]

Hey everyone out there in BOTL land!

As the title suggests I'm from California and am excited to be a part of this community. I've been smoking cigars for 10+ years now, started just after I turned 18 thanks to my dad who got me started all those years ago.

A little bit about myself, I'm the founder of CigarJedi.com (formerly Daily Herf Cigars); I'm an author with Cigar and Spirits magazine (I write a majority of the pairing articles), and I'm a Certified Salesforce Tobacconist Apprentice (CST) from Tobacconist University.

When i'm not smoking cigars I enjoy craft spirits, craft beers, good wine, and all types of music.

That being said, let's smoke! :ccool:

Recently paired a Tatuaje JV13 with a Great Divide Oatmeal Yeti and man that did not dissapoint. An Esteban Carreras Chupa Cabre with any chocoately/roasty porter is delicious... I make a California Common that is one of the best cigar pairing beers IMO because the malt profile goes well with almost any stick and the hops are just enough to help cleanse the palate between draws but aren't overpowering.

Oh man, those do sound good! My last beer pairing was a Liga #9 with a Boatswain Chocolate Stout. We have a new craft brewery, Institution Ale Co. that's here in town, I'm looking forward to getting down and dirty with some of their creations.
