Father's Day with Frank Vincent

The Nicest Mobster you'll Ever Meet!

The Mobile Cigar Lounge was invited to spend father's day with accomplished actor Frank Vincent and his family. Well known for his years of portraying classic Mafia characters including 'Phil' from Soprano's he is very charming and a far stretch from the characters he's famous for.

I'm sure your curious to know what cigar Frank enjoyed in The Lounge, well his own of course! The Frank Vincent Signature Cigar that he blended himself and are available from JR cigars. Having smoked cigars for a better part of his life he is an expert and has even wrote about the art in his book A Guy's Guide to Being a Man's Man.


Now as others are always asking Frank about this movie and that character, I wanted to know a little about Frank. He started off with a passion for music. He became an accomplished drummer early on and got a 'lucky break' with acting. Some luck....40 years later and still getting lucky!! Besides asking how he would like his cigar cut (only a clean straight cut for Frank) I asked what advice he has for success, "Follow your passion, never give up and everything will follow." Great advice from a great man.

Sex & the City Needed the Mobile Cigar Lounge!

I finally saw the Sex and the City movie. For any of you that saw it you will remember a scene where the main characters are celebrating on the eve of Carrie's and Big's wedding. The Buddakan Restaurant, one of New York's best, uber-hip, trendy hot spots was the venue for this scene in the film. The actors are draped in Louis Vuitton, Prada, Chanel, Manolo Blahniks, enjoying the smooth buttery draw of fine cigars and yet they are standing on the sidewalk next to the restaurant's front door looking rather uncomfortable. If only they had the pleasure of enjoying the Mobile Cigar Lounge! Even a film like Sex and the City points out the need for a cigar smoking solution! I'm off to contact Hollywood!
