Adam Goldstone is a chiropractic sports physician who knows a lot about cigars. He lives on the Shore in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Adam started smoking about three years ago, when you could by "Short Stories" for $58 a box. He enjoys a moderate to full flavored cigar with a good amount of spice, especially pepper. He likes it to end smooth, like a nice cup of coffee and to change flavors as it smokes. His favorite Cuban cigar is the Bolivar Royal Corona, and his favorite anytime cigar is the Fuente Hemingway Signature. Adam also enjoys collecting cigars. Once he'd amassed a collection of about 250 boxes it was time to build the "Patented Closet-Dor" to properly store his ever-growing collection.

Marc Goldstone is a self-styled  attorney and paramedic extraordinaire.  His first smoke was a Backwoods Wild and Mild during his freshman year in college (and that's one of the only things he remembers from that year!). His cigar faves include: La Gloria Cubana Maduro Torps, Partagas #10s, Fuente Hemingway Signatures and Short Stories, and he has been known to enjoy a Sancho Panza Belicoso Finos, the odd Bolivar Royal Corona, and Romeo Y Julieta Exhibiccion #4's from an island nation south of Miami.
Marc's favorite place to smoke a cigar is on his back porch, overlooking Sandy Hook Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. He says the ocean breezes compliment any cigar, and the view is unparalleled. He enjoys a fine, tawny port and strong, 100% Kona coffee with his cigars: that, and a diet Dr. Pepper. He currently drives a cedar lined Pathfinder-dor, and from time to time posts his thoughts on cigars in various places on the internet.
