Cigar Dave is
the creator and host of Smoke This! the acclaimed nationally syndicated
radio program devoted entirely to the Cigar Lifestyle. Cigar Dave's
first Smoke This! broadcast occurred in July 1995 with one hour on WSUN
Radio in Tampa, Florida. The show became an instant hit with his cadre
of listeners known as "Cigar Lieutenants". Smoke This! quickly expanded
to two hours and began national syndication in December 1995.
From his opening greeting of "Long Ashes" to the national cigar
lighting ritual, Cigar Dave provides his loyal cigar lieutenants with
current news and information regarding cigars, spirits, and other
lifestyle diversions in a fast-paced lively format. Always truthful and
politically incorrect, the General also leads his troops and wages
battle in the fight against America's self-anointed pleasure police.
The General's loyal lieutenants have bestowed upon him a long list of
titles including: The King of Coronas, the Pope of Panatelas, the Rabbi
of Robustos, the Sultan of Smoke, the Professor of Puff, the Prince of
Pleasure, the Cigar Sommelier, and the Connoisseur-in-Chief.
Smoke This! is broadcast Saturday afternoon's from Noon-2:00 PM on 640 WGST and 640wgst.com.
Cigar Dave is a native of Buffalo, New York, and a graduate of Syracuse
University in 1986. He traces his love of cigars to his grandfather,
"Cigar Abe", who faithfully enjoyed Gold Label Cigars for many years.
When not pontificating about cigars and life's other pleasures, he
enjoys being serviced by his harem.
