Co-author, The Modern Cigar Library
Augusto Reyes opened his lounge in Coral Gables in 2004 and has been initiating clueless beginners into cigars ever since. He grew up in a Cuban family that took cigars seriously, started smoking himself in 1989, and learned the lounge business by working in three different shops before opening his own. He is Miguel Solano's best man, the man who handed Miguel his first real cigar (Fuente Hemingway Short Story, 1997), and the voice behind the Father's Day and Groomsman books in The Modern Cigar Library. He writes the way he talks: direct, warm, with a Cuban storyteller's instinct for the right detail.
