People like this place because it's built around the cigars. We provide a warm, homey feeling. People buy a cigar here and want to sit down and smoke it.

Sometimes a cigar is just a smoke and a coincidence is just a coincidence.

I wanted to go with a warm, cozy feeling. I didn't want to go too high-end so that I could get a variety of people here. It did get a little dressier than I expected, though.

Homey don't quit. What else are you gonna do? It's like those guys in the cartoon they get up in the morning, check the clock and fight all day and after it's over they check the clock and go home. That's how it goes.

We all like people who do things, even if we only see their faces on a cigar-box lid.

I'm going to have a cigar on that later.
