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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. 🙂
Rocky Patel Speaks at the CRA Seminar at IPCPR 2010
To close out the CRA Seminar at the 2010 IPCPR Trade Show, Rocky Patel shared a few words with the crowd. He encouraged everyone to start a state organization to fight for cigar smokers rights. The speech was well delivered and well worth watching.
Jesus Fuego Talks New Products at IPCPR 2010
During our first day on the show floor, Brian, Jerry, and I had the opportunity to sit down with Jesus Feugo for a few minutes. As you would expect, we asked him what he was bringing out at the show this year. Jesus was kind enough to talk to us about two new releases, the […]
Abel Lara of Graycliff Rolls a Cigar
Shortly before the IPCPR 2010 Show Floor opened, Brian and I were walking through and came across Abel Lara getting cigar ready for show attendees. We stolled, snapped a few photos, and I recorded a quick video. I’m not sure what cigar s being rolled (I neglected to ask) but it is a Torpedo and […]
