Yiorgos

About this author:

Originally from Greece, Yiorgos moved to Ireland in 2004. It was a year after he was introduced to the world of cigars, when Mark offered him what he remembers to be his first Cohiba Robusto. Since then, Yiorgos has developed a keen interest in the cigar industry and is continiously trying to further his knowledge of all its dimensions. While his family and work are his highest priority, he has found his pursuit of cigars to be more than just a hobby; a passion.
