TGIF!!!!!!!
Hello “Cigar Community” and “Cigar Family!” Thank you for joining us and reading another great article here at Red Lips and Cigar Sticks™ we are happy to have you as one of our new, and/or faithful readers!

Today’s Red Lips Fashionista of the week is Maria Ghisolfi out of Charlotte, NC.
Maria has been smoking cigars for roughly two years. She was first introduced to cigars by a friend while attending a comedy event at Cigar Etc. 2, which is one of the coolest and hippest cigar lounges in Charlotte.
This started her cigar journey and she pretty much accelerated into the lifestyle from this point.
Maria is always patronizing the local cigar lounges and cigar shops in Charlotte and the surrounding area, by attending their events, joining up with other cigar groups to have a collective gathering, and/or function. She is always supporting the local brick and mortar, which is the foundation for sustainability and existence, as well as growth within the cigar industry.
Maria likes to pair her cigars with Crown Royal to enhance the taste of her cigars, as well as it’s a great compliment to her preferred brands such as the Cohiba Nicaragua, the LFD Double Ligero, and the Drew Estate Liga T52, which are all full-bodied smokes.
Interestingly enough, since Maria has only been an avid cigar smoker for a short period of time, this proves that it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been smoking or if you are a male or female, you will develop a particular palate specifically to your liking and preference, which can come right away, as it did for Maria or it may take years, to get a true grasp, and that’s perfectly fine, too!
The key to finding your liking of a cigar, as well as a libation, is indulging as little or as much based on your own discretion. There’s no wrong or right way, to cut, light, smoke, and then indulge!
Maria is our Red Lips Fashionista of the week because of her sweet and bubbly personality! She’s a very caring and kind person, as well as very thoughtful of others. I say it every week, the amount of female cigar smokers is constantly growing, and therefore I utilize my platform through blogging, to further expose my readers to us, the “Sisters of the Leaf” (SOTL). And, Maria does not fall short at being a beautiful “Sexy, Sassy, and Seductive” SOTL!
