Interview: J. Glynne Loope, Cigar Rights of America

An avid cigar enthusiast, Glynn brings over twenty years of government relations and public arena involvement to CRA. Prior to assuming his role as CRA’s executive director, Glynn was the founder and president of Commonwealth Advance, LLC in Virginia – a leading government relations and business development consulting firm. Although Glynn had carved out a niche in raising government funds for worthwhile public and private sector projects, it was working for the Cigar Association of Virginia that brought him to the world of “the politics of cigars.” From 2006 to 2008, Glynn represented the Cigar Association of Virginia, working with the state’s professional tobacconists in amassing a pro-business coalition to fight intrusive smoking ban legislation.
