This week, let’s discuss three starter cigars aka my gateway cigars – the brands that got me into cigar smoking in the first place. Also, we dive a little deeper into the pairings that I love with these cigars. Note - I mistakenly referenced Firestone Walker in “Southern California.” And while they do have location in Venice, they reside in the Central Coast. Please let me know your favorite gateway cigar and how it impacted your cigar-smoking journey. Enjoy!
