Three other Blend employees have also completed the Certified Cigar Sommelier Tobacconist course. They are Rocky Croyle, who works at Blend’s Pittsburgh location; Ryan Davidson, an employee at Blend’s Nashville store; and Jara Murphy who will be working at Blend’s Houston location, which is opening on Jan. 19.
“We are very proud of all our staff, they are a big part of the Blend experience—luxury redefined,” Johnston adds. “We were recently recognized as the Best Cigar Lounge in the World by Cigar Journal. We now have the only four Certified Cigar Sommelier Tobacconists in the world as certified by Tobacconist University. We believe this is further validation of the Blend brand.”
