Like most boutique cigar makers, the Tamboril-based El Artista Cigars is a family affair who have been quietly making a name for themselves since 1956. Tabacalera El Artista may be one of the best kept secrets to come out of the Dominican Republic. And sometimes the cigar lifestyle gets plenty of free advertising thanks to a bevy of celebrity athletes including ex-Raven Ed Reed, Billionaire Bull, Michael Jordan and Red Sox phenom, David “Big Papi” Ortiz. Throughout history, cigars and sports inevitably intertwine as premium stogeys seem to appear at many a celebration. And like many, I’m more acquainted with the sport’s personalities than with individual teams or their achievements, but that’s not to say I don’t enjoy a ‘dog and a cold beer with friends and family at the ballpark. I consider myself an avid sports fan, but I know more about cigars than I do about one of America’s favorite pastimes: baseball.
