We’ve never interviewed Frank Herrera so when the opportunity came up at IPCPR we jumped all over it. Many of you know Frank from Twitter, his blog CigarLaw.com and of course his cigar line, La Caridad del Cobre. Frank was also a great supporter of the TBOTLCH and we wish him nothing but the best […]
Honduran Caribbean Tobacco
Brian Hewitt has been touting the Carmelo Blue ever since he reviewed it last October. Walt and I got tired of hearing him go on and on and on and on about it so we tracked down their booth to find out more.
Inside Davidoff
Back again is Danielle Hawthorne and she takes us Inside Davidoff, just like she did last year at IPCPR.
Andre Farkas on the Viaje Fifty-Fifty Red Label
During last years IPCPR convention, Brian, Jerry, and I were introduced to Matt Booth, of Room 101 Cigars, for the first time. After an interview and a few laughs, Matt wanted to introduce us to a friend of his, Andre Farkas of Viaje Cigars. At the time, none of us had heard of Viaje cigars. […]
Ron Melendi Speaks During CRA Seminar
During the IPCPR Trade Show, several seminars are held before the show floor opens. We generally like to sit in on those seminars, but only two were of any interest to us this year.

We took full advantage of this, scoping out the floor and making a plan of attack for the day. One of the first things to grab our attention was […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
