Bob's Story
Ask Bob Gregorchuk why he got into the cigar and pipe business and his answer is one that you're likely to hear when a long time business owner sells: He needed a job after he sold his funeral home in 1990. He helped his late wife with her travel agency and continues to oversee Sunset Plan (his cremation and funeral company). "But I needed something to do with all my free time. I had been smoking cigars since the early 1980's and it was the only business I had the desire to pursue. I've always had a desire to get involved in a retail business and knew that I could translate my people skills from the funeral service profession over to this endeavor and I'm adapting well to sales and having fun at the same time," Gregorchuk says.

the only place in town where you can smoke without getting in trouble with your wife or with the law," exclaimed Gregorchuk.
Gregorchuk said, (tongue-in-cheek) "Used to be that a man's home was his castle. You could do what you wanted. Now when the queen of the castle evicts the king for smoking in or near the house, the cigar/pipe smoker has another castle that they can smoke in without recrimination. Both, men and women are cordially invited to come to Smokers' Castle to join the royalty of cigar and pipe smokers.
