Fair well Bear, we hardly knew ye! That lovable part man, part Sasquatch that would often greet our guests with a middle finger and an expletive has moved on to greener pastures. The great northeast will now have their share of Bear sightings as he reps cigars for Gran Habano.

Though parting is such sweet sorrow, we could also say, out with the old and in with the new! Yes, someone had to fill Bear’s shoes and that person is Brian. Like a caterpillar spinning a cocoon, Brian has been following the other staff and soaking up their knowledge like a sponge. Soon, our quiet little Brian will spread his wings and become another full-fledged ACL butterfly.
