Our coverage of K.A. Kendall was a bit limited at last year’s IPCPR with only a quick, self guided, booth tour so we made it a point to dedicate some time to catch up with Kurt Kendall and see what he has been up and Kurt was happy to oblige. Kurt takes a few moments […]
Reinado Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
Other sites might get a lot more access, a lot more information or even know what questions to ask. For us though, its all about having fun and over the past three years Antonio Liam of Reinado Cigars has become one of the guys we enjoy seeing every year at IPCPR. He takes some time […]

Blanco Cigar Co (IPCPR 2012)

Mike’s Cigarnival 2012 Video Diary
