Just ask Jim Nicholson, a former Republican National Committee chairman, ambassador to the Vatican, and Veterans Affairs secretary.In a new autobiography from celebrated cigar maker Paul P.K. Garmirian, Nicholson referred to “PG” as “my cigar man.”
He’s not alone in praising Garmirian’s sticks. Others have included former President Bill Clinton, the late Associate Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and his colleague Clarence Thomas, Rush Limbaugh and Pierre Salinger, actors Sammy Davis Jr. and George Hamilton, and director Sydney Pollack. Garmirian said smoking in Washington has changed since he arrived as a college student from Lebanon, spending weekends at the city's fabled Georgetown Tobacco. “Politicians used to smoke cigars everywhere, right? And slowly but surely, it dissipated. It was no longer appropriate,” he said.
Supported by influential international cigar makers including Zino Davidoff and Hendrik Kelner, and his tiny staff of son Kevork and shop manager Emile Nassar, PG cigars enjoy worldwide popularity despite Garmirian’s ban on advertising.
