Howdy, I’m Ash McPufferson. Yup, that’s my real name. “What kind of parents would have the cajones to name a newborn child that?”, you might be wondering.
Well, that’s what you get when your mom is a free-spirited jazz singer in smokey basement parlors and your dad is a grizzled old-school tobacconist who believed all you needed to know about a man you could tell through his handshake and his humidor.
With that name, the cigar game finds you. I’ve been smoking cigars long enough to know two things:
- Most people are doing it wrong, and
- They need someone to set them straight.
That’s why I started ProPuffers—a sacred digital temple where cigar lovers, from your average Joe schmoe to seasoned lounge pros, can learn how to smoke like a chimney…strictly in terms of efficiency, not volume.
I’ve dedicated my life to smoking cigars, talking about cigars, and silently judging people who mistreat cigars. Whether it’s saving amateurs from inhaling their way into a coughing fit, calling out Bic lighter heretics, or exposing the guy at your office selling “totally real” Cuban cigars out of his gym bag, I’m here to make sure no fine smoke goes to waste.
At ProPuffers, we don’t do snobbery—just sharp insights, sharper humor, and the occasional unsolicited life advice, all wrapped in a fine tobacco leaf and ready to burn. You want to know how to pick the right cigar? Cut it like a pro? Smoke it without looking like a confused tourist? That’s what I’m here for.
When I’m not busy dispensing wisdom on cigars and life, you’ll find me pairing a perfectly cut, expertly lit stogie with a whiskey older than most TikTok influencers. My motto? “Smoke slow, talk smart, and never stub out a cigar like a damn cigarette.”
Welcome to ProPuffers—where we take cigars seriously, but never ourselves.
