ABOUT SCOTT
Scott Anthony isn’t just another true crime author — he lived it. Born and bred in the streets of Chicago, Scott came up fast and hard, learning the game from the inside. He didn’t just flirt with crime — he made it a career. From drug dealing and violent robberies in the ’80s to high-level Cuban cigar smuggling in the ’90s, his life reads like a movie script… except every word is true.
After fleeing the country to avoid arrest, Scott lived five years on the run — rebuilding his life with fake names, forged papers, and a brain built for survival. Now a husband, father of eight, reformed outlaw, and established businessman, he’s using his past to write the kind of stories mainstream publishing is too scared to touch.
SMOKE IS THE TRUE STORY YOU WON'T BELIEVE —
CUBAN CIGARS, HIGH-STAKES SMUGGLING,
AND ONE MAN'S WILD RIDE FROM THE STREETS TO SURVIVAL.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Scott Anthony’s first book, Smoke: Confessions of a Cuban Cigar Smuggler, drops readers straight into the Havana underworld — raw, detailed, and unforgettable. But that’s just the beginning. Encouraged by people close to him, Scott went all in and wrote three more books — laying out his full story, no filters, no masks. Not to brag. Not to glorify. But because it needed to be told.
Scott is brutally honest, unapologetically real, and has nothing left to hide. When he speaks, he’s not telling war stories — he’s delivering a street education.

![I landed in Cuba in '92 with no direction and zero knowledge about cigars. The Soviet Union had just collapsed, and the streets were filled with hunger and desperation. I bought a single box of Cohibas—not because I was a connoisseur, but because I wanted to help someone in need.
I had no idea that simple act of empathy was the spark for my entire career.
Today, my life is a testament to the fact that the most powerful business moves often start with a human connection. My philosophy isn’t just about the "hustle"—it’s about resilience, spotting opportunities in the middle of chaos, and the courage to start even when you don't have a map.
If you’re feeling stuck or looking for that next "breakthrough," my story is proof that your next big chapter could be hidden in a simple, unexpected moment.
