7 Minutes with Pete Johnson

I’ll give credit where credit is due. Brian Hewitt rocked at IPCPR. I was only there for the first two days and while we got a lot accomplished in those two days it was up to Brian to hit up the folks we couldn’t do together. Most of you already know all about Pete’s new releases for Tatuaje so maybe this video won’t be anything new. Again, most of you have probably seen pictures on Facebook or at the Saints …

IPCPR 2011 – Toraño Family Cigars

We’ve received a lot of praise thus far for our coverage of IPCPR and I’m very happy that we can provide great content for all of our fans. We couldn’t do it alone and I want to take a moment to thank a couple people at Toraño Family Cigars for their help in making this interview come together. Bruce Lewis, Oliver Hyams (who I learned at the show is a recent inductee to the NCAA Pepperdine University Tennis Hall of …

Smoke A JJ for JJ Day Tribute

The generosity of the cigar community never ceases to amaze me. I’d like to thank our long time friend JerseyJay who is graciously holding a tribute and contest on his blog, CigarPhoto.net. You can read more about Jay’s contest to raise awareness for this event and for SIDS in general. I appreciate everyone who helps me keep the memory of my Little Robusto alive. Thanks Jay.

IPCPR 2011 – Illusione

It doesn’t get any better than Dion Giolito of Illusione. Whether its his core Illusione line or Epernay or “Cruz”ado he literally has a stellar cigar for everyone. In the video Dion goes into detail about his new offerings. New size of Epernay, Maduro versions of the Illusione line, special MK Ultra and my personal favorite, the gold wrapped “Cruz”ado. Dion also spreads the love around and gives major props to some things Drew Estate is involved with.

IPCPR 2011 – La Caridad del Cobre

Frank Herrera of La Caridad del Cobre is one of the most interesting, intellectual, fun loving supporters of new media. Its always a blast to hangout with Frank and talk cigars and get legal advice from him. La Caridad del Cobre is probably my dad’s favorite cigar and I’m thankful to Frank for the autographed culebra for my dad. We talk about whats new with La Caridad del Cobre like the new Javelin as well as catchup on developing legal …

IPCPR 2011 – Casa Gomez

We finally catchup with our boy Loren Gomez of Casa Gomez. We’ve reviewed Casa Gomez cigars before on the site and so it was a surprise to realize that we never actually interviewed them in any previous years of covering IPCPR. And yes, I really did smoke that 7×64 Casa Gomez cigar. It two hours and forty minutes which I probably smoked fast so probably three hours is the amount of time to set aside for it. The cigar itself …

IPCPR 2011 – La Flor Dominicana

I told you it was a year of firsts for us at IPCPR and this time around its with Litto Gomez from La Flor Dominicana. Digger Natural…Diadema Duo…Colorado Oscuro…Air Bender Maduro…mmmm

IPCPR 2011 – AJ Fernandez Cigars

Another first time interview for us at the show. I’ve been a big fan of all things AJ Fernandez for the past couple years now and always wanted to get some time with him. Sadly I wasn’t sure how to bridge the gap between my Spanish and his English or vice versa. Thanks to his translator Kris as well as Clay Roberts and our friend @cigarsthomas for making the introductions and making this happen.
