About Us
We here at PuffingCigars.com are a motley crew of individuals from all different walks of life. The one thing that we have in common is our passion for cigars and the community that cigar smoking creates. To sum it up we are all one part men, two parts awesome! Without further adieu here are the players of the PuffingCigars.com staff!
Rob (Oh Captain, my Captain!):
Rob or Robert as some call him is the lifeblood of PuffingCigars.com. He is the original creator and website maintainer of PuffingCigars.com, and it was his enthusiasm for cigars that brought this ragtag assemblage to the mean streets of the internet. Growing up in Chandler, Arizona – Rob spent many of his days hustling on the tough streets of old Chandler. One of his favorite pastimes is smoking cigars at the local haunts and finding new ones to try. This eventually led to a conversation with one of his friends about the lack of solid internet websites that talked intelligently about cigars and the stores that sell them. Needless to say from that seemingly insignificant conversation came about the happening website you see before you. Perhaps his biggest contribution besides the website itself is his scathing exposes that bring to light the scandalous actions of those associated with the industry. He is not afraid to call it as he sees it, and that’s why we love him!
Wyatt (Captain Jack):
Wyatt is the affable scruffy individual you have come to love in the online webisodes we post on our website. While he looks like and acts like he is constantly under the influence of something, he is a surprising storehouse of information on cigars and where they were manufactured. Being an amateur cigar roller and creator he has a keen knowledge of the inner workings of how cigars are fabricated, from the basic rolling of a stick to the different tobaccos that go into it. Wyatt has a knowledge that is both informative and entertaining. In short he is one part aficionado and two parts Jack Daniel’s!
Anthony (The Professor):
School teacher by day, cigar lover by night, Anthony brings an affinity for cigars and a touch of erudition to the articles. A lover of culture, history, and literature the professors’ articles tend to exhibit this in their every word. Having enjoyed the communal aspect of the cigar industry for years, he has often tried to reflect this in his writings about cigars and those who enjoy them. So if you are looking for a mixture of both honesty about the industry, and a little history in each article, then you need not look any further than the articles of the professor!
Grant (The Everyman):
From the backwoods of California comes this rough and tumble individual! With a love for living life to its fullest, Grant offers the everyman perspective to our humble website. His articles usually focus on what accoutrements are complimentary to the aficionado lifestyle, and what is new in the world of cool products for men. This perspective of the everyman allows him to be in tune with the pulse of Middle America, and allows him to paint a Rockwellian portrait of the cigar industry landscape. So next time you are in the back country of AZ or mountain biking down one of the trails keep your eyes peeled for the everyman!
