Last week I was hanging out at one of our local cigar shops. I’ve been a patron at this particular tobacconist for 10 years. It is the kind of place you want to hang out at with exposed brick, leather chairs, a great selection of cigars and pipe tobacco, and amazing staff. I have found [...]

Why Twitter?
