WHAT IS HOUSE OF STICKS?House of Sticks (HoS) is a media website focused on examining the culture surrounding cigars, producing top quality content and sharing opinions on a gentlemen's lifestyle.The resurgence of cigar culture began in the early-1990s and was punctuated with the launch of Cigar Aficionado in the Fall of 1992. Ever since cigar culture has been in a boom period as new producers entered the market (La Flor Dominicana), old brands began to shine (My Father...) and perennial stalwarts rolled finer sticks than ever before at greater volumes (Padron, Arturo Fuente). In addition to the success of producers, cigar culture began to creep its way into pop culture as Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former body builder and certified action-movie star, and Rush Limbaugh, the ever-relevant conservative spin doctor, became syononymous with the stogie. Today we hardly notice Charlie SHeen lighting up on, "Two and a Half Men", or the entire cast of mobsters puffing away on Cohibas or Rocky Patels in Starz's "Magic City" or HBO's "The Sopranos".25 years have passed since the initial boom of modern cigar culture and House of Sticks will stoke the flames as we produce the highest quality video content, review the latest cigars and share our opinion on the finer things in life. Every week we will share our media, thoughts, opinions and interact with each of you through our social media channels.Cheers,- Clayton, December 12th, 2016
