Greetings, my dear readers. I’m David Patterson, a man who has always had an insatiable curiosity about the world, specifically the intricate world of tobacco. Having been actively involved in the industry for over three decades, I’ve garnered a rich tapestry of experiences and insights that I love to share. Currently, I’m based in the sunny, vibrant city of Miami, Florida, USA, a place that perfectly mirrors my optimistic outlook on life.
In the past, I’ve had the honor to work with leading companies in the industry, including British American Tobacco and Philip Morris International. My tenure at these institutions not only honed my expertise but allowed me to witness firsthand the profound transformations of the tobacco industry. From the traditional tobacco farming practices to modern innovative technologies such as heat-not-burn products, I’ve seen it all.
Perhaps one of my most cherished accolades is receiving the “Golden Leaf Award” in 2019, an honor bestowed to individuals who have shown exceptional dedication and contribution to the industry. That award not only validated my commitment but further fueled my passion to continue exploring this intriguing field.
One of my significant accomplishments includes my role in the development of a sustainability model for tobacco farming while at British American Tobacco. It was a project that considered both the economic viability and environmental impact of tobacco farming, aiming to balance profitability and sustainability. I’m proud to have been part of such an important initiative.
My curiosity extends beyond the tobacco industry. I’m an avid reader and a passionate photographer. Through books, I explore different worlds, ideas, and perspectives, while photography allows me to capture and appreciate the everyday beauty around us. A Sunday morning for me would typically involve a good book, a freshly brewed coffee, and, yes, a premium, hand-rolled cigar.
I also enjoy traveling, particularly exploring tobacco farms across the globe. Each journey is an adventure, a chance to meet fascinating people, learn about various cultures, and most importantly, understand diverse tobacco farming techniques.
