To The Readers of The Weekly Cigar
To the readers of The Weekly Cigar,
It saddens me to say that this post marks the end of my cigar blogging career. Over the past months, I have become more and more involved in the cigar industry, and feel as though this involvement could lead many to question my objectivity. I now work in the cigar industry, and think that this retirement from cigar blogging is the best choice for all parties involved.
I will continue to blog, but will change my focus to the craft beer world. I love craft beer, and have wanted to review more beer for quite some time. The new site will be called Beer Review Dude, and will be located at http://beerreviewdude.com. I encourage all of you craft beer lovers out there to continue to visit the site. I will be posting something new almost every day, and hope to build this site into a great craft beer resource.
For all of the cigar lovers, I will continue to host the numerous reviews, interviews, and news items available on this site now. I still want this site to be a resource for the cigar smoker.
Is this the last mention of cigars on this site? No. I will continue to enjoy fine cigars, but feel as though it wouldn’t be right to continue posting about cigars at this time.
Lastly, I’d like to thank all of the people who have supported this blog, including the fans, the manufacturers, and anyone else who has helped me in any way. Without you, none of this would have been possible.
Well, I think that’s it. Thanks again and, until next time, happy smoking…



Wow. That caught me by surprise. Best of luck in your future endeavors. Will you be abandoning the forum?
No Matt, the forums are going to stay exactly the same. Yea, it was a decision I made and just went with. I think it’s the best thing for me at the moment.
Wow–congrats!
“Do what you love, the money will follow…” You’re a lucky man. Don’t worry about us, we’ll get by!
Excited to see your beer reviews Johnny. My site will most likely be taking a new direction as well. I’ll keep you posted.
dang… kind of sad, kind of good.
drinking a Bell’s Third Coast Old Ale right now.
you should grab it if you see it.
I am so proud of you! The new site looks great!
Good luck in the cigar business!
