“I’ve been smoking cigars for more than 20 years. My love of cigars started when my college roommate and I reunited years after graduating and he offered me a cigar as thanks for a favor (no, not for getting rid of a body…I charge way more for that. Ask me about my rates….that’s a joke to all those in law enforcement). I didn’t think it would become the passion that it has. It’s been my comfort at times, a bridge to new friendships around the world, a great ice breaker and this podcast. I did radio for a short time in college. Working on “Beyond the Humidor” has brought back some very fond memories of being in that AM DJ booth in Storke Plaza at UC Santa Barbara. When I’m not giving Greg a hard time or laughing at Larry’s stories on the podcast, I ride my 2009 Harley, (I’d say go shooting but have you seen the cost of ammo these days?!?), travelling with “tiny wife” and of course, drinking Macallan and smoking some damn good cigars (…yes there is the occasional bad one, but that’s all part of the experience). Thanks for being part of my cigar journey, and for letting me share in yours. Be sure to give the podcast a listen.  Cheers!”
