The popularity of that site was growing but I found that talking about cigars all the time was beginning to burn me out.

Growing up, I had an Uncle that was a little eccentric. Actually, he was a Great Uncle (my Father’s Uncle). He was a Vietnam Vet, a retired Philly Cop, and he owned a bar in Fishtown.
