Central PA’s ORIGINAL Mobile Cigar Lounge!
lets start with A little about the three of us...
Dale Martin
Hey there, my name is Dale and I am one of the 3 owners of Perfect Draw Cigar Lounge. Thanks for stopping at our website and checking us out. This all started years and years ago when I developed a passion for cigar smoking. Along side my best friend, we always found time to enjoy a good smoke back in the day! As the years passed by, cigar smoking became more than just a part time hobby but a much larger hobby. The enjoyment of trying and researching various types of cigars became a larger part of my life. I started to realize there is a much bigger culture in this market and that the passion for cigars across the world was growing immensely. When I truly started looking at that culture and looking back to guys like Churchill, Sinatra, Ruth, Capone and even modern-day smokers like Stallone and Schwarzenegger, it made me more intrigued and curious as to what all this culture was all about. Doing this research and sharing thoughts with my two great friends, who all have that same passion for this culture, made the next step obvious. Having an amazing family that supports me allows this to not only be a business, but help continue that passion and the opportunity to pass along that passion and experience onto others whose paths we cross. I look forward to sharing that passion to others on their big day or event they happen to be part of. I could not have asked two better “brothers” to go down this road together. We hope to all see you soon, stay safe out there and keep checking back for updates. See you in 2021!
Glen Lightner
Hi folks! I’m Glen. Thanks for stopping and checking out Perfect Draw Cigar Lounge! I was raised a country boy and had my first cigar when I was around 17 or 18; and that cigar was a Backwoods. I am sure it was a pack that was picked up by one of my buddies on our way to a bonfire or some type of youthful social gathering. Not the smoothest of introductions into the cigar world, but there also came the occasional Swisher Sweet that could be purchased for cheap at any convenience store, as well. As I got older and learned that cigars were a symbol of celebration and relaxation, I also learned there were many, many different brands and flavors to explore. Unfortunately, there were not many cigar shops or influences around me that could point me in the right direction, so I probably only smoked a stick when offered at the occasional wedding or get-together. But then one evening, probably ten years ago, my best friend offered me a premium hand-rolled Cohiba; I was hooked. I soon realized that there was an entire culture and fellowship of cigar smokers out there that had an appreciation and affinity for the finer things in life; if only for an hour at a time as you sit in meditation or celebration with a great smoke and fine beverage paired together. At Perfect Draw, we want to introduce you to an experience like no other, by providing a unique place to stop and interact with others in this culture. Please allow us to help you learn more about why this cigar life is so special to us and how it can be the bridge to connect family, friends, and aficionados at your special event. See you soon!

Hi, my name is Chris, and I was born & raised in the Central Susquehanna Valley. My very amazing wife and I have three kids, and it is their continued love and support that has led me to this incredible opportunity with my partners in Perfect Draw Cigar Lounge. A graduate of Selinsgrove Area High School, my friends and I dabbled in much debauchery as we grew and advanced through high school, college, and into “real” life. Some things that stayed constant were loyalty to one another, a love & respect in our brotherhood, and a passion for the finer things in life. I have learned that a fine beer can evoke great stories from both the past and present; a tasty scotch or bourbon can elevate an attitude into a belief; and a luxury high-end cigar can take the every day and make it time worth appreciating. My first cigar experiences were with the classics; Swisher Sweets, Backwoods, etc. It didn’t take long for me to realize that there is so much more. The world of fine luxury tobacco was introduced to me and I was hooked. The cigar world is so intricate, detailed, and yet so very beautiful. From region, soil, plant, leaf, and individual skilled roller – the process is as much a culture as it is an artform. My partners and I share that love and passion for cigars. Perfect Draw Cigar Lounge was born to bring that love & understanding to those around us. Life goes by so fast and tomorrow is never promised – I fully believe that we need to take those little timeouts to enjoy what we have, appreciate the gifts that we have been given, and most importantly, celebrate ourselves, our families, and our friends. Is it my goal for PDCL to offer that experience to everyone – you’ve earned it and you deserve it.
