My name is Nicole Townsend. As a certified cigar sommelier, tobacconist (CCST), SOTL Global Movement Founder & CEO, and Brand Ambassador for Pretty While Puff N, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news.
This past year has been remarkable for Pretty While Puff N, my cigar group. We’ve celebrated our first anniversary with over 2400 members and counting! This incredible growth reflects our commitment to fostering a welcoming and inclusive community where every member feels valued and respected. At Pretty While Puff N, we’re more than just a cigar club; we’re a lifestyle built on excellence, compassion, and genuine connection. We strive to create memorable experiences that leave a lasting impression on our members, drawing them back again and again.
My journey in the cigar industry spans over two decades. It’s a passion I deeply cherish, and I’m driven to share my expertise and enthusiasm with others. Through event hosting and collaborations with other prominent figures in the cigar community, I aim to uplift and inspire fellow cigar enthusiasts. Building meaningful relationships and contributing to the growth of the entire cigar industry are paramount to me.
My dedication and genuine kindness are what I believe make me most effective. As a born leader and a proud Detroit native (“What up doe!!!“), I bring a strong work ethic and a deep-rooted passion to everything I undertake. My philosophy mirrors the experience of a fine cigar – lasting and memorable.
