Anthony Pellegrino

Anthony Pellegrino was born and raised in Manhattan, New York, and was born to parents who worked in the food and wine industry. At a young age, he developed an interest in tasting different foods. That is why he took the food and nutrition program at NYU Steinhardt. However, after graduation and after years of working as a food critic, his fate changed after going on several trips to Cuba. That is when he developed a passion for cigars, which led him to become a cigar sommelier. Anthony worked at various five-star hotels across the USA as he currently is working at one in Seattle, and contributes good-quality content to My Cigar Site. He is married with a teenage son and enjoyed traveling, playing poker, and playing the piano.
