Palm Bay, Florida – November 17, 2009 – CigarMedia.Tv, producer of DogWatch Cigar Radio, is pleased to announce that Gary Arzt is joining its website as a regular columnist. Gary J. Arzt, a retired investor, has been a cigar smoker for 51 years, and is a respected cigar connoisseur and writer. A native New Yorker, he has lived in London, Monaco and Hong Kong. Gary says that currently he lives, regrettably, in Miami Beach, having made a choice between his loathing of Miami and his loathing of moving.
