Note – sorry for the video and audio quality. Been talking with Kodak about my camcorder and trying to get a lapel mic to try on it also. Hopefully it will be good to go for my next review. This was done on my computer with my webcam.

I have for you today, another low cost cigar from Perdomo called the Cuban …

Prometheus Product Tour

Over the past couple of years, one of my favorite stops during the IPCPR trade shows has been a visit to the Prometheus booth. A wide variety of their products are items that I would consider out of my league, from a price prospective, but they are fun to look at. The God of Fire and Fuente Aged Selection products are always beautifully presented.

This year we had the opportunity to tour the Prometheus display with Keith Park. With …

Sean Williams Talks Liga Miami

Towards the end of the first day of IPCPR, Brian, Jerry, and I wandered on over to the El Primer Mundo booth to talk with Sean Williams. As always, Sean was a pleasure to talk to and provided us with plenty of information. In this video he tells us about his latest release in the Liga Miami, made by Willy Herrera of El Titan de Bronze.

18 Minutes with Pete Johnson

Its always fun and entertaining to sit down and talk with Pete. As always Pete has a lot of cool things up his sleeves this year and down the road. We talk about the new cigars he has for the show, monster series, out of costume series, saints, sinners and adopt a farm. Great stuff as always…and who doesn’t like red vine? LOL

Not Easy Being Green

In the grand scheme of things I haven’t been smoking very long. But since then (1996) I can’t remember a candela wrapper stirring so much buzz. Maybe it has to do with “who” is making this candela. When you think of boutique and unique cigars, Dion Giolito and his Illusione line is typically one of the first, if not the first, to be named. The Illusione ~hl~ is my favorite cigar in the Illusione line so imagine how excited I …

The Conspiracy Continues

Always style’n and profile’n we caught up with Matt Booth so he could tell us all about his new addition to the Room101 lineup with the Conjura Edition. Matt also shows off some his new lighters…what you don’t see is that we are being filmed as we filmed the interview. Apparently Matt has a film crew following him around for the next 6 months or so…I sure hope we don’t end up on the cutting room floor.

The Dog Walker

Its always great to talk to people for the first time. I’ve been enjoying the 7-20-4 line by Kurt Kendall for some time now so it was great to see him have one of the more busier booths. We got lucky passing by his booth during the lunch hour and got a few minutes with Kurt before his booth started to get swamped. Enjoy.

Bye Bye Flavourettes

I can’t believe this day has come…since we started covering IPCPR we’ve (some more than others right Brian?) always looked forward to hanging out with the CAO Flavourettes. Well folks, Jon Huber of CAO Cigars gave us bad news. The Flavourettes are no more. Raise your glass and tip your ash farewell…Flavourettes you will be missed.

We also talk about La Traviata Maduro, new sizes of LX2 and Brazilla and a little something new about the merger talks…well not really. …

On Point with Padilla

Ernesto Padilla was kind enough to give us a glimpse into his world and more importantly, his next Padilla creation that he is working on. Entertaining as always…thanks maaaaan!

All About Cargo

Nish Patel of Rocky Patel Cigars takes some time to talk with us during IPCPR and tells us all about the new Rocky Patel Cargo and Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary…we will forgive Nish for mentioning the rating the 15th received in that “lifestyle” publication.
