Meet Chuck Walls. Everyone calls him Chuck. His official title is Vice President of Player Personnel for the Philadelphia Eagles. He oversees college scouting, pro scouting and player acquisition for one of the most storied franchises in the NFL.
In other words, Chuck finds talent for a living.
And when he walks into Smoke and Barrel he recognizes it immediately.
He said the people make any environment and that double counts here. The cigar selection. The drink selection. The bartenders who actually know what they are talking about. A space that works for date night, for unwinding, for working during the day. Chuck called it versatile and he meant it as a compliment.
His cigar of choice is the Liga Privada No. 9. His go to. His staple. The one his friends joke him about because no matter what else is on the menu Chuck is always going back to the Liga Nine. Full bodied. Beautiful construction. Burns slow and even. The kind of cigar that lets a great conversation breathe without rushing you.
For a man whose entire career is built on making the right pick, that tells you everything you need to know.
Welcome to Vol. 14, Chuck. Fly Eagles Fly at The Barrel.
