Battleground Cigars

(fat-ash.com) Back in 2000, Battleground Cigars was founded in Hazardville, Connecticut by Michael Tarnowicz. Battleground Cigars is a boutique cigar company that has love and dedication to their home state of Connecticut and a huge passion for U.S. History.

Tarnowicz opened his shop, the Connecticut Valley Tobacconist, in an old pharmacy in 1996.  The second floor of the pharmacy had previously been a cigar smoking room for the Hazardville Fire Department.  When Tarnowicz hung a Springfield musket in the shop, a patron donated a framed photograph of General Robert E.
