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.
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 […]
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 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. 🙂
