Craig Vanderslice, better known as CigarCraig: exploring the world of cigars online since 1996, and writing about it here since 2009.
Who is CigarCraig?
Craig Vanderslice turned to cyberspace in 1996 to explore his interest in the world of cigars and in the process came upon many newsgroups, chat rooms, websites and podcasts devoted to the subject. In the years since, Craig has gained many wonderful friends that include fellow Brothers of the Leaf and cigar industry professionals.
Now Craig's chronicling his personal cigar adventures via his own website, www.CigarCraig.com, where he will review cigars, cigar magazines, cigar bars, cigar accessories, and anything else that he damn well pleases. Along the way, Craig will be sharing his marvels and misfortunes that will no doubt involve his cigar smoking friends and family.
This blog is being hosted at www.CigarCraig.com the domain name that Craig's wife bought for him for his 46th birthday in August of 2009.
My disclosure policy
“While I rarely if ever ask for samples to review, when I receive gratis cigars I'll disclose that, and always offer my opinion of those cigars just as I would ones I paid for.”
