My Biography

From New Orleans, currently reside on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.
My favorite way to enjoy cigars is with a Caffe Con Leche and chatting with a friend.
I have enjoyed premium cigars for over 40 years. My cigar preference is a ring gauge of 38 to 48. I’m always on the lookout for cigars with expertly blended aged tobaccos, and a complex well nuanced flavor without being overly loaded with nicotine. La Aurora preferidos being a fine example.
I find the history of the great Cuban Families, and their Cigars particularly fascinating.
