Watch: Charlie Minato on Deep Cuts Live

A couple of weeks ago, I sat down with Antoine Reid of Deep Cuts Live.

Reid wears a lot of hats. Beyond his Deep Cuts Live podcast, he's also the new content director for the Premium Cigar Association and has previously worked at a number of cigar magazines. While I don't do that many of these podcasts, I’ve done enough, and it seems like a lot of them get repetitive. How did halfwheel start? What's your favorite cigar? Etc. As the deep cuts part of the name implies, this interview focused a lot more on the why. If you’d like to find out a bit more about the thinking behind halfwheel, this is probably the best place to find that. Sorry for my extremely monotone demeanor; it was a long night the night before.

I am an editor and co-founder of halfwheel.com/Rueda Media, LLC. I previously co-founded and published TheCigarFeed, one of the two predecessors of halfwheel. I handle the editing of our written content, the majority of the technical aspects of the site and work with the rest of our staff on content management, business development and more. I’ve lived in most corners of the country and now entering my second stint in Dallas, Texas. I enjoy boxing, headphones, the Le Mans 24-hour, wearing sweatshirts year-round and gyros. echte liebe.
