I've been in the cigar industry a long time — first as an editor at Cigar Snob Magazine, and later as a partner and cigar program director at one of Miami's premier cigar bars. Like so many other woodworkers, I fell into this more or less by accident. At first, I was making items for us to use at our bar. Then Christmas gifts that I'd post on social media. Before long, I had orders coming in and I was spending more time at my table saw than I'd ever anticipated; it only made sense that I go all-in. Now I'm making ashtrays, cigar torches, humidors, and some other non-cigar items like cutting boards and tables. Of course, I'm still lighting up while I'm waiting for glue to dry.
