These Guardian Members are people we’ve lost who continue to watch over us. Some are members, some are not, but served in a qualifying profession and shared a love for cigars.
Harry Ray Twiford
August 21, 1954 – March 13, 2022
Our first Guardian Member is Harry Ray Twiford, a Retired Lieutenant with 43 years of service from the Norfolk, VA Police Department (2019). During his time with the NPD, Harry had several assignments including being a K-9 handler and the officer in charge of the K-9 unit. Harry was the first person that came to mind when I decided to start a chapter of the Sheepdog Cigar Club in Virginia. Unfortunately, Harry passed away before he was able to join the Club. Often times when you’d see Harry enjoying his cigars, it would have been a Romeo y Julieta or Cohiba. Harry is deeply missed and thought of often.
