Charlie Freeman

Charlie Freeman was born in Atlanta, Georgia; his mother is from Greenwich Village and is one-quarter Spanish Cuban. Thus tobacco and New York City were in his blood from the beginning, despite his refusals to indulge in either of them in his earlier years. He was first exposed to cigar culture after moving to New York in 2011. He has been advocating the art of fine tobacco smoking ever since, and he currently works at Ash Fine Cigars in Hoboken, NJ. In addition to his interest in tobacco, Charlie is a semi-fluent spanish speaker, an amateur swing dancer and musician, specializing in guitar, vocals and keyboards.
