This announcement started making its way through various social media mechanisms, but I thought I would post this on the web-site. Yesterday, it was announced that I have been named a Cigar Rights of America (CRA) Ambassador representing the State of North Carolina. Those who know me know that I am passionate about the cigar […]
Avo LE10 – 2010 Cigar of the Year It’s that time of the year. Time to countdown the Top 30 cigars for 2011. It seems like every year I say “this is the best year for cigars ever”. However, in each case it has been true – and 2011 truly takes the cake in my […]
This month is going to be a little thin on content to talk about, but there will be some interesting happenings on Cigar Coop over the next week, so stay tuned. IPCPR releases are still making their way to retailers shelves. I’ve been focusing on a lot of the reviews, and yes there are still […]
The month of May was probably as dynamic a month as there has been in a while in the cigar industry. As always, I’ll highlight some noteworthy events that happened in the world of cigars. The main focus will be on the happenings I explored on the Cigar Coop website, but there was plenty […]

I’ll focus on noteworthy events and smokes that I explored on the Cigar Coop website and throw in a few other tidbits […]
NOTE: As of 5/14/2011, the Operational Code of Ethics will be a permanent page on this web-site – click here to access. Friends, I am so grateful for the outpouring of support for the “Cigar Coop” project. In a little over 7 months, to achieve over 21,000 page hits is simply mind-boggling. The project has […]
This evening the first step of bringing Cigar-Coop into modern technology was taken. Cigar Coop has now migrated to using a custom domain – https://www.cigar-coop.com. I’ve been assured by all technologists that this was a seamless process. So far, except for a few glitches, things seemed to have worked pretty well. There may still […]
One thing as I have launched the Cigar Coop project is that I have gotten to meet a bunch of other Cigar Authors on the internet (and I use the word Authors, not bloggers). For the most part, there has been a great fellowship that has developed among us. We all try to do something […]
