I am the owner and operator of Trinity Cigar Company—a mobile cigar lounge based in Colorado. I’ve been living my best cigar life since its inception in 2018. When not bringing my lounge to the masses, I stay true to my mid-western upbringing, hunting white-tailed deer, while adapting to my Rocky Mountain residence by taking up snow skiing with my family.
