About Your Host
Tobacco journalist and author Dale Scott is an "information node"— industry people and smokers alike correspond with him regularly, seeking or passing along information: industry and government trends, new cigars and accessories, retail store activities, cigar events, and more. Newspapers as prestigious as the Los Angeles Times have sought and quoted his opinions on industry developments.
He's also a forty-year lover of fine cigars. His expertise is based on personal experience; research; and discussions with Cuban tobacco growers, cigar manufacturers, importers, retailers, and other knowledgeable smokers.

Dale participates and lectures in tobacco industry trade shows, giving him the opportunity to see and evaluate new cigars and related accessories . This gives him hands-on exposure to the flood of new cigar merchandise, enabling him to find the best values.

He writes regularly for several consumer cigar publications as well as for a leading tobacco trade magazine. This puts him in contact with industry leaders, so he gets the undiluted facts directly from those who shape the cigar industry. His "how to" articles have drawn more reader response than any in the memory of one magazine's editor.

His book, "How to Select and Enjoy Premium Cigars...and Save Money!" was introduced in late 1995. It sold out and is now in its 3rd edition. Readers praise its objectivity, valuable tips, and easy readability. Dealers report it is required reading for their sales staffs. The president of one of the world's largest cigar companies says he carries the book as a reference, when speaking at cigar events.

His weekly "Dale Scott's Cigar Tip of the Week" has been a regular feature on the popular LA-based radio broadcast "Lighten Up!" Hosted by Matt Alan, "Mr. Cigar," this show is syndicated coast to coast.

Dale has a passion for cigars, and a sincere admiration for those who toil for lifetimes to bring them to us. He's ready to share all this with you, a fellow fancier.

His motto: "As long as one guy is out there trying to smoke the cedar sheath along with the cigar it's wrapped in, my work isn't done!"
