Between Two Humidors Episode 015 > Perrie Morgan
In this episode 15 of Between Two Humidors, Jonathan Ruggles welcomes Perrie Morgan, a Denver-based cigar roller who honed her craft under master cigar maker Clay Carlton. Introduced to the show by her college friend Laura, Perrie shared her journey from earning degrees in criminology and philosophy to working as a home detention officer, where she began frequenting cigar shops with colleagues. A bartending job at a cigar lounge became the gateway to learning the art of cigar making, a process that took her a year to master—focusing on filler leaf selection, mold use, construction, and wrapper techniques.
Perrie’s blends are constantly evolving as she experiments with different leaves and incorporates feedback from fellow smokers. She recounted a trip to the Dominican Republic where she demonstrated her skills in a local shop, highlighting the importance of precision in construction and the unique qualities of each leaf. Throughout the conversation, Perrie emphasized the craftsmanship, patience, and continual learning that fuel her passion for cigars.
