Cigars are now the hottest, hippest thing going. Richard D'Onofrio has opened seven mini storefront cigar factories around the country in the last 10 months. It's a wonderful business. The timing is good. It's a party with big name guests.
Athletes celebrate victories with cigars, and so do presidents.
Celebrities grace the covers of glossy cigar magazines. Jonathan Scott publishes one of those magazines. It's the fine wines, the fine liquors, the fine hotels, the fine cigars, and the fine company, and the fine conversation. It's been a terrific journey for me as publisher of Cigar Smoker Magazine. Though even Scott is amazed at how the so-called quest for the good life has fueled his magazine's growth.
