Welcome to The Stogie Clubhouse! I’ll kick this off with a quick intro. I first got into cigars when a good friend surprised me with an assorted pack for my birthday. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect — but one night on my apartment patio I gave it a try. I ended up smoking one every night until that pack was gone… and I haven’t stopped since. Now my humidor is always stocked, my whiskey glass is never far away 🥃, and I’m here to share the cigar lifestyle with all of you. 🚀 Your First 3 Moves 1️⃣ Drop what you’re currently smoking below. 2️⃣ Comment on at least one active thread this week. 3️⃣ Join us Sunday at 7PM CST for Live Smoke.
