Leonard Ray (L.R) Smith  is a southern gentlemen raised in a big city. Raised in a small town of Selma, AL called Sardis but grew up in between two City Maywood and Bellwood, IL (The Woods).

L.R. is an HBCU alum who attended Alabama State University in Montgomery with a major in communications and a minor in music. 

He discovered his passion for cigars about at the age thirty figuring he needed a bad habit with class as he likes to call it. Ultimately he realized it became the perfect way for him to relax. There's nothing like a pleaant smoke to ease your mind and forget everyday concerns.
