“He has absolutely no desire to fit in” ….yet still he gravitates towards an industry populated with the idea & platform that constructive networking and ass-kissing gives you wings. His intricately designed feathers however are steeped within the rich tradition of Maat..(so forget about the kissing of ass)…known to provide the flight of truth, balance and order to “All Things Living”…..and now….in this season of migration….”All Things Cigars”.

Reared on the East side of things in Tampa, FL., Kevin’s initial outlook on cigars was non-complimentary to the happenings within his community or lifestyle. As a youngster, he enjoyed racing through the tobacco fields in North Carolina, (where he has family roots) in addition to being mesmerized by the varied smells of tobacco seeping thru his late grandfather’s pipe. The tobacco game however was historically ran primarily by those who looked nothing like him.. which had and has sided with multiple other industries that lacked the presence of African-Americans in influx. Although engrained in the heart of the Cigar Capital of the World, there were no initial outlets that drove him to quest interest into a career within the tobacco industry.
