Saw Pete posted in his facebook page that Gary Artz died last night. A true cigar character. He will be missed.

What cigar things did he do? Why will you remember him?

A week ago I was talking with someone close to Gary and they simply said he was dying, but I had no idea / did not realize that Mr. Artz was that close to passing.
RIP a truly unique character and fixture in the world of cigars and condolences to his family, friends those who knew him.  Mr. Artz, you shall be missed.

This is embarrassing, I accidentally juxtaposed the t and z in Gary's last name.  It's Arzt, not artz.

Had the chance to meet Gary in december, great guy, really passionate, and his video interviews with Pete Johnson and Pepin are always good for a laugh

Gary was a great friend.  Wish I could have shared a few more cigars with him.  He will be missed.
