Well, as the site has grown I figured it would only be right for me to divulge further into myself and let you all know a bit more. My name is David and I live in St. Louis, Missouri – Specifically South County which is about 20 to 30 minutes south of the city. I am 25 years old so I’m still a pup, but I do have my Bachelors Degree in Information System Security (Network Security) so basically I’m your white hat hacker, well – maybe grey – but my point being I don’t make web pages but I’m trying my best ha-ha!

I have recently found the woman I am going to be marrying – Jennifer – and you may see her around from time to time. Many of my cigars ‘second hand approved’ or ‘wife approved’ are the fun little comments she says in passing while I’m enjoying a cigar. Surprisingly she has been very easy going about me smoking cigars although I’m sure when children are in the picture things may change – Milk it while I can!

I have been smoking cigars off and on since mid 2003 but actually turned it into a regular habit somewhere in 2007. I am fairly new to the cigar world but feel that perhaps I can put that spark back in for some of the veterans, pull out some flavors some may have gotten used to and allow the kids my age and even younger that cigars are something that can easily be enjoyed by any age (legal smoking age of course!). I have to comment though, it does seem that even in the few years that I have been involved with cigars, the audience has opened to the younger community and has not looked back – can never have enough new blood.

Some of you may be asking – Why did you start doing this cigar review site? Well – quite honestly I did start this site with a bit of an ulterior motive – I want to eventually open my own B&M cigar shop before I turn 40. A long ways out, but my original idea was 30 and I simply wont know enough to open a shop by that time. St. Louis really seems to have been the forgotten lands when it comes to cigars (who can blame them, shipping to the middle of the US VS right off a boat or a short plane ride) but I hope we can get some focus put back on the mid-west.

I run this site all by myself, so I do apologize if I do not update every day, but I will do my best to post as often as possible and to bring up valid content. I have been able to pick up a few quest reviewers once or twice a month so you may seem their reviews from time to time. Also, please, if any of you ever see me ‘slant’ for any reason whether it is from sponsors or viewers, call me out on it. Except Cohiba Robusto – Cubans, they are the favorite, you already lost the battle, haha!

As always, please send me any and all feedback!
