Editor’s Note: It’s been a year. Hard to believe, but, it has. A lot has changed and shockingly, 2013 will bring more changes, more disruption and more from halfwheel, including an announcement shortly. In the mean time, sit back and enjoy this and this. It’s a holiday (tomorrow), as we encourage every holiday, there’s no better time to reach for the best cigar in your humidor. We’re doing it.

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.
