Harbor Cigars, owned by Holthouser, has been the gathering spot ever since. Established by a handful of his customers, the Harbor Rats group now has approximately 125 members and six board members. Harbor Rats hosts a variety of charity events and an annual golf tournament to raise funds and are looking forward to hosting a joint event for Alaqua in the future.
