Meet John Thames!

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to visit Cigar Reader. I am John Thames, the founder and the creator of Cigar Reader and I am attempting to use my years of experience in the cigar industry to teach you to become a cigar expert.

I have been working in the cigar industry for over 30 years in a wide variety of different positions. I started my career in my 20’s as fan of smoking cigars in my free time. This passion soon became an obssession and I decided to get a job at my local cigar manufacturer. This was hard manual labor but it taught me everything I needed to know about how cigars are made, what it takes to create high quality cigars, as well as got to use different cigar products.

I used this experience to fuel my future entreprenuerial ventures as I started my own cigar brands and even helped cigar brands to grow their customer base. As you can tell, cigars and the cigar industry have been a passion of mine for many years and I hope to use my years of experience to help you learn more about cigars. We produce new articles on a weekly basis and are always looking for new article ideas. So if you would like the Cigar Reader team to teach you a specific thing or write about a specific topic in the cigar industry then please use our contact form to let us know what you would like to us to write about!

My Passion For Cigars

creating cigars

I have been in the cigar industry for over 30 years but my passion for cigars started when I was in my early 20’s. I absolutely loved smoking cigars with my dad and these experiences fueled my passion for cigars. This made me want to work in the cigar industry and I have loved every single day of it for the past 30+ years!

The cigar industry has changed a lot over the past 30 years. This is because legislation has changed, new brands have entered the market, and there has just been a lot of changes in the industry as a whole.
