A Little About Myself
I am a native Oregonian with an eight year stay in Seattle, and a few years in San Francisco.
I have a small business management background. I currently work for one of the oldest standing Tobacconists in the country.
I love my urban lifestyle, however I am a country girl at heart. I get my nature fix by hiking, backpacking, and traveling.
My favorite cigars are Padron, I love working with the public, and I live in downtown Portland Oregon.

Knowledge
I currently work for one of the oldest standing Tobacconists in the country. In the last several years I've delved into cigar culture head first. The high level of craftsmanship, detail, and passion that goes into this industry, reminds me often of why and how cigars are in the top tier echelon of excellence among global specialty goods.
My taste in cigars span wide, which serves our customers well, but my most unique skill is building rapport and trust. People come to me knowing I'll send them home with something enjoyable that suits their palate well.
Enthusiasm
Cigar culture gives you this unusual window to create rare intimate moments with perfect strangers from all walks of life. What's not to love about that?
