Cigars Daily founder Tim Swanson announces Milestone, created to commemorate his 10-year journey in the premium cigar industry as a cigar maker, content creator, lounge manager, and retail owner.
The 6 x 52 Milestone ($16) features a Broadleaf Natural Rosada wrapper, Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, and Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Honduran fillers. It is produced in partnership with West Tampa Tobacco Company founder Rick Rodriguez.
The project marks a decade since Swanson entered the cigar business—initially seeking part-time work while serving as a pastor—before transitioning fully into the industry.
“Over the last 22 years, I’ve loved smoking and rolling cigars. I’ve loved everything about the leaf,” Swanson said in a press release. “But over the last 10, I’ve fallen in love with this industry — a place driven by passion, grit, and powerful relationships. Milestone is about remembering one thing: it’s about the journey, not the destination. It’s been 10 unforgettable years. But even now, I’m looking toward that 30-year sunset. I’m smoking the Milestone while looking forward to continuing to make the best damn cigar content online and running America’s neighborhood cigar shop online.”Milestone will be released beginning March 2 and will be available exclusively through CigarsDaily.com.
