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 […]
Epicurean Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
New cigar company with a familiar face. Many of you will recognize Steve Ysidron from his days with Savinelli. Steve left Savinelli to focus on his love for cigars and created Epicurean Cigars. Steve takes time to walk us through his lines such as Azul and Gonzo.
Blanco Cigar Co (IPCPR 2012)
One person we couldn’t find at last year’s IPCPR in Las Vegas was David Blanco of Los Blanco Cigars. Little did we know that David was busy taking care of his obligations as a reservists in the military. One of the most noticeable changes since we last talked to David was a slight name change […]
EPC Cigars (IPCPR 2012)

By now you know that the Q D’etat Series was created as a protest against increased restrictions on cigar smoking and higher tobacco taxes. The Howitzer, a massive 6×60, represents the second of three releases […]
