亞歷克西·詹努利亞斯是美國伊利諾伊州的州務卿,。他是一個喜歡到處跑的人,，他曾經是一名籃球運動員,，參加過波士頓大學一級聯(lián)賽,，曾經在希臘做過職業(yè)運動員,。他和巴拉克·奧巴馬相識多年，一起打過籃球,。后來他轉行成為一名商人,。如今他剛當選伊利諾伊州的州務卿，忙于提高政府工作效率,。他的角色很重要,，州政府有4000多名雇員，年稅收收入30億美元,，辦理的行政業(yè)務從駕照到圖書館的方方面面,。
亞歷克西·詹努利亞斯說，州務卿這個職位過去25年一直是一個人擔任,，（譯者按：這里是指Jesse White,，出生于1934年），我們做事的速度比政府通常的速度要快,，而我喜歡雪茄,，雪茄幫助我放緩速度,。他最喜歡的雪茄是好友蒙特利的美食家2號。
亞歷克西·詹努利亞斯說,，從本質上說,，我是一個不安于現(xiàn)狀的人，情緒也容易激動,。雪茄幫助我謹慎和耐心,。抽茄的一個多小時里，是我不能匆匆忙忙的時間段,。
他居住在芝加哥,，夏季時候抽雪茄比較多。他除了喜歡心儀的美食家2號,，還喜歡大衛(wèi)杜夫雪茄,，他也喜歡嘗試新的口味。
“我喜歡嘗試新的口味,，這是我唯一的缺點,。我的夢想，就是有一天可以開一家自己的雪茄吧”他這樣說道,。
Alexi Giannoulias ? Illinois Secretary Of State
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2
Alexi Giannoulias is a man who likes to move. A former basketball player (division one at Boston University, pro ball for a time in Greece, pickup games with Barack Obama, who he has known for years) and longtime businessman, Giannoulias is now trying to speed up government as the newly elected Illinois Secretary of State. His role is a big one, overseeing a 4,000-employee office with around $3 billion in annual revenues, covering everything from drivers’ licenses to libraries. “This office was held by the same guy for a quarter century,” he says. “We’re moving faster than government normally moves.” Cigars help him slow down.
“By nature, I am a restless, constantly keyed-up person. Cigars are one of the rare instances where I’m coerced to be deliberative and patient. Knowing that I have an hour, or an hour and change where you can’t rush it.” He lives in Chicago, so naturally smokes more in the summer. Along with his beloved Hoyo Epi 2s, he also enjoys Davidoffs and likes to experiment. “I definitely love to try new cigars—I tell people it’s my only vice.” And one day, he might just dive deeper into cigars. “My dream,” he says, “is to one day have a cigar lounge.”
