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 […]
