The cigar community is in mourning over the tragic loss of Bradley Reith, the beloved owner of Zeal Cigars.
Bradley passed away following a vehicular accident in Phoenix, Arizona, as reported by KTAR. The unfortunate incident occurred on Tuesday when a vehicle making a left turn struck him at the intersection of Cave Creek and Greenway roads. The Phoenix Police Department, responding to the accident around 11 a.m. on March 5th, found Bradley, aged 50, with serious injuries. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.
The driver involved in the collision remained at the scene, and early investigations suggest that impairment was not a factor. Charges, if any, will be determined after the accident reconstruction process. An investigation into the incident is still underway.
Bradley was not only a successful cigar retailer but also a significant figure in the online cigar community, attracting over 160,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel. Alongside his parents, he ran Zeal Cigars, a well-known cigar retailer and lounge in Phoenix, Arizona. He was also the co-host of the Cut, Light and Smoke Podcast with his friend, Justin Burnett. Before dedicating his life to the world of cigars, Bradley served as a church pastor for 20 years.
He leaves behind a loving family, including his parents, Len and Vida; his wife, Jamie; and his children, Savannah, Camden, and Maddy. The loss of Bradley Reith is felt deeply within the cigar community and beyond.
