Hah. Seriously! Well, welcome to life as an everyday cigar citizen, Steve!
Congrats on the retirement Steve. Whatever your future holds, enjoy doing it. Look forward to seeing you around here more often!
Same here. Once a BOTL, always a BOTL. Hopefully he will come on every once and while, but he will be fully enjoying his retirement! Thanks for everything, Steve! All the best to you!
I was wondering the same thing. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. I hope that's the case in all honesty.
Steve posted this on Reddit:
"First off - it was ABSOLUTELY on good terms - DE has been my life for the last eight years and it just came down to I could no longer have my family in NH and live here, Miami and Nicaragua all while being the CEO of a company as dynamic as Drew Estate. I was basically spending 4 or 5 nights a month with my wife, and JD/MS/MC, the whole crew understood and was very compassionate and we worked out a transition plan that was 100% equitable for all.
So my take on it is two fold: it is a good thing, but I will admit I am sad to be departing as I will miss being part of the DE family."

Uh yeah, ^^this^^. Will be interesting to see what the man who gave us Liga Privada #9 has cooking once he's done "retiring". Best of luck with the fishing Steve, better rest up 'cause I have a feeling that you'll be a busy man in a couple of years.
Congrats on retirement Steve!

Best wishes to one of the most blatantly honest & down to earth CEO's you'll ever see.
He'll be missed!

As long as Steve stays a brother he can do whatever. Just keep us posted on the catches of the day. He will become the cigar smoke fish guide.

never really did care for Drew Estates cigars - primarily because I'm old school and I don't like flavored infused cigars. I missed Steve's blog, writing on ASC 20+ years ago and most recently here. Hopefully he'll have time to post on BOTL more of that rather just fish full-time.
Steve - welcome back to being a "cigar citizen" like the rest of us.
