About Me

I’m not an influencer. I’m a Bearded Cigar Lover — a U.S. Navy veteran with more scars than filters, and I’m still searching for the perfect cigar lounge. Not the prettiest, not the trendiest — the one where the ash is long, the talk is real, and the people are the kind you can bleed, laugh, and burn a stick with till last call.

Cigars aren’t a hobby. They’re a ritual — fire, leaf, and patience twisted together with good conversation. They’re how men build brotherhood in a world obsessed with Wi-Fi connections and short attention spans. Every draw is a reminder to slow the hell down, breathe, and actually listen. It’s community in smoke form.

I support boutique cigar brands because they still care — you can taste the passion in every puff. They’re not just pumping out product; they’re crafting legacy. That’s what pulls me in — the hands, the hearts, and the heritage behind the blend.

I’ll smoke anywhere — fancy lounge or busted garage — as long as there’s good people, great conversation, and a cigar that punches above its price tag. The lounge doesn’t make the smoke. The people do.

So yeah — call me Bearded Cigar Lover. A friend to the boutiques, a loyalist to authenticity, and a man who believes a cigar shared is a story written in smoke.
