Paul's love for cigars first sparked not in a fancy humidor, but through the pages of old Hemingway novels. He takes apart a Maduro with the same enthusiasm he once had for dissecting post-modern texts while studying for his Literature degree. From the sunny fields of Nicaragua to the bustling rolling rooms in Estelí, he sees each cigar as a little story filled with unique flavors and craftsmanship, and he loves to share that in his writing. When he's not busy writing, you can usually find him perfecting his Old Fashioned, debating whether a straight cut or V-cut is better, baking something delicious, or getting lost in the smooth sounds of jazz records.
