So I'm A retired Army Combat Soldier. Had a rough 14 years of service. Medically retired. Iraq is a helluva place. But on to bigger and better things. Been a cigar enthusiast for nearly 20 years. In fact, it is a huge part of my life after the military as I am in the process of starting my own cigar lounge and shop. My favorite sticks are the La Gloria Estelli Series R Maduro, CAO Anaconda and Amazon Basin, Flathead 660, and almost anything Ghurka and Rocky Patell. Also in life after the Army, I have trained and became a classically French trained chef. I have my degree in culinary arts and culinary history so yes...I pair my cigars with food and beverage of all types! But I'm glad to be here and look forward to interesting interaction! Stay Smokey!! #BLOWSMOKE

Welcome from New Jersey. Glad to have another around who enjoys cooking as much as smoking. Maybe you can tell me why I can’t get an espagnole just right. Can’t seem to get the depth of flavor I want....anyways.

Welcome from Indiana, good luck with the shop
Welcome from north Jersey brother and thank you for your service! Good luck with the cigar lounge/shop endeavor! I hope it all comes together for you! When it does you better post up with an address so some of us brothers can make a trip and check it out. Where are you, or where will the shop be located?

Welcome from South Ms!
Welcome from Grand Prairie Texas. Thank you for your service. It seems you and I have similar tastes in smokes. I love the Amazon line and almost anything CAO. We can use your pairing knowledge around here.
