Welcome to The Stogie Clubhouse! I’ll kick this off with a quick intro. I first got into cigars when a good friend surprised me with an assorted pack for my birthday. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect — but one night on my apartment patio I gave it a try. I ended up smoking one every night until that pack was gone… and I haven’t stopped since. Now my humidor is always stocked, my whiskey glass is never far away 🥃, and I’m here to share the cigar lifestyle with all of you. 👉 Your turn: Drop your intro below. Where are you from, and what’s your go-to smoke?

Choosing the right cut changes how your cigar smokes. Here’s a quick breakdown: 1. Straight Cut ✂️ - The classic and most popular. - Gives the widest, easiest draw. - Best for: almost all cigars, especially large ring gauges. 2. V-Cut 🔻 - Creates a wedge-shaped channel in the cap. - Produces a concentrated, flavorful draw. - Best for: thicker cigars or when you want more intensity. 3. Punch Cut 🥊 - Cuts a small hole in the cap. - Provides a tighter draw, less loose tobacco. - Best for: smaller ring gauges and cigars with delicate wrappers. 💡 Pro Tip: Try all three — you’ll find that certain blends taste better with specific cuts. 👉 Which cut do you use most often?

My first experience with cigars was completely unexpected. One of my good friends thought I might enjoy them and surprised me with an assorted pack for my birthday. At first, I wasn’t sure what to think… but one night I lit one up on my apartment patio. The next night I had another. And another. By the time that sampler pack was gone, I was hooked — and I haven’t stopped since. 👉 What about you? How did you first get into cigars? Share your story below — I’d love to hear it.
