We want to join with our readers to learn more about the world of premium cigars. As we learn, we can also help others to understand and appreciate the dedication, care, and craftsmanship that go into each cigar that we enjoy. Along the way, we will try to learn about the materials, the places, the methods, the market, and most of all, the people.
