Interview: Allen Mobley, Kentucky Gentlemen Cigars

[Doc Stogie Fresh]

If you listen to the Stogie Fresh 5 podcast, you will know that I recently featured the Kentucky Twist (Episode 107), a cigar made in the U.S. of A. It's made in Kentucky, as a matter of fact, by Kentucky Gentlemen Cigars. Well, I really like that cigar and it turns out that the KGC Company puts out some very fine smokes.

So I decided to ask company founder, Allen Mobley for an interview to see what the heck was going on down there in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. That collaboration led to a pretty interesting interview.



In the spirit of American Enterprise, I wish the KGC Company the best of luck in finding a niche in the world of cigars. They have some unique processes and even use some fire-cured tobacco grown in Kentucky. They are also experimenting with growing Habano and Connecticut Broadleaf in Anderson County, Kentucky. Enjoy the read.

And "Blue" probably ain't the only grass...

Actually, I would love to take a road trip to Kentucky and make my way to the American Whiskey Trail, and now cigars too!

Doc your trip would not be complete with out a stop here in TN. Kentucky makes the bourbon, Scotland makes the scotch, but Tennessee makes the Jack!

Ah yes, how could I forget the Jack! :eeek:

It's true, no trip of the American Whiskey trail could miss Tennessee. Sorry for that oversight...
