Editor’s Note: We don’t write about pipes unless there are explicit cigar tie-ins, but I’m sure that some of you care about the pipe world. The Las Vegas International Pipe Show will take place Oct. 13-14 at Palace Station. Details here. — Charlie Minato.

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.
