A Personal Announcement About Smoke Signals
The newsletter you love is continuing under new stewardship.
I wanted to share a personal update with you.
It has been a real pleasure writing this newsletter and connecting with fellow cigar enthusiasts from around the world.
After giving it a great deal of thought, I’ve decided that it’s time for a new chapter. (See the article at the bottom)
I’m pleased to share that Cigar Letter has acquired the newsletter.
One of the reasons I felt comfortable making this decision is that they genuinely share the same appreciation for cigars that inspired this newsletter in the first place. Their writing isn’t about chasing ratings or the latest releases; it’s about the culture, history, places, and rituals that make cigars so enjoyable. I believe you’ll quickly see that in the emails to come.
From now on, you’ll begin receiving Cigar Letters instead of my newsletter.
Thank you for your support, your readership, and for allowing me to share this journey with you.
I have every confidence that the newsletter is in good hands.
Thank you again, and I wish you many memorable cigars ahead.
Warm regards,
Bo Kauffmann, Editor
P.S. While Smoke Signals is moving on to its new home, I haven’t stopped writing.
Over the past couple of months, I’ve launched a new publication called The Sanity Project, where I explore Canadian politics, energy, the environment, economics, and the issues shaping Canada’s future.
It’s a very different topic from cigars, but it’s driven by the same curiosity, thoughtful research, and storytelling that I always tried to bring to Smoke Signals.
If you’d like to see what I’ve been working on, here’s one recent article that I think captures the spirit of the publication:
