Hearing news of Don's passage, I wanted to offer my condolences to both his family and to the cigar community.
He was a monolith in our community: someone revered due to their impressive character and breadth of knowledge.
But to me, he was a dear friend. I will always remember our conversations on the most tiniest details of our hobby to our dogs.
Don was someone who could appreciate the smallest things, while not letting himself get lost. He always remembered to sit back and just enjoy the damn cigar. An important lesson for us all.

And with that, I wish him a toast!
