Weekly News (May 28, 2012)

Editor’s Note: If all goes well, Brooks and I should be in Nicaragua right now as part of Drew Estate’s Cigar Safari media adventures. Patrick took part in the journey last week along with many others. In a slightly different accord, on behalf of the editorial staff, I’d like to apologize to you the readers for our sporadic content last week; rest assured that will not happen this week.

I am an editor and co-founder of halfwheel.com/Rueda Media, LLC. I previously co-founded and published TheCigarFeed, one of the two predecessors of halfwheel. I have written about the cigar industry for more than a decade, covering everything from product launches to regulation to M&A. In addition, I handle a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff here at halfwheel. I enjoy playing tennis, watching boxing, falling asleep to the Le Mans 24, wearing sweatshirts year-round and eating gyros. echte liebe.
