Another day on the golf course with my grandson. Nothing better than a great day on the course than a great cigar on the course with you. **rs

Hanging at my favorite cigar bar in Traverse City MI. If you ever get to Traverse City Nolan’s Cigar Bar is a must stop for a great cigar and great cocktail.

For the past two months I have been neglecting my businesses due to the loss of my brother. During that time I have added a new element to Fat Ash Ci**rs. Most of you know FAC as a mobile retailer of premium ci**rs, which was a dream of mine for years. So in 2022 I launched my dream in North Carolina.

As with all good dreams comes an occasional bad one, at least that is what I thought at the time. For family heath reasons my wife Susan and I moved back to Florida. What was frustrating at the time turned out to be the best move ever.

So after going thru the licensing process in Florida, Fat Ash was launched again. But after a few events in the Sunshine State, I decided to stop competing with the brick and mortar stores and went from 100% “premium” ci**rs to 70% Boutique and 30% premium. As a retailer and a cigar lover it was the best move I have made. Since I made the change, my sales have gone up, my margins are way better, my customer interactions are way more fascinating, I have joined the BCA (Boutique Cigar Association) and it has lead me to the reason for this post.

Fat Ash Ci**rs is now a cigar brokerage firm for BOUTIQUE Ci**rs only. In my next post I will explain why and what the differences are. Until then, smoke’m if you got ‘em.

Nice evening in Enon Ohio, the night after my grandson graduated from Greenon High School, enjoying my go to evening cigar the Kafie DF Maduro Toro! If you have noticed I haven’t posted a lot lately, I lost my brother Dave last Sunday and my wife and I will be in Phoenix Tuesday for the funeral. I know I am not the only person to lose a sibling but since Dave was the only brother I had this is hard for me. I know I will never get over this but I hope someday it will be easier to deal with. Enough about my grief here is my happiness. First picture is my brother, the second my grandson Derrick on the right and last my stick of choice. Thank you for hanging with me thru my pain, my happiness and my enjoyment. **rs
