In an earlier interview, we talked about what’s new with H. Upmann this year. Now we return to the Altadis booth and talk to Eddy Guerra about the new very limited humidor to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their factory in the Dominican Republic and comes with a special box-pressed Montecristo No. 2. We also […]
IPCPR 2019: H. Upmann
H. Upmann turns 175 this year, and to commemorate that milestone Altadis has released, you guessed it, the H. Upmann 175th Anniversary. It’s a limited edition Nicaraguan puro with a medio tiempo wrapper. After telling us about the cigars, Candela Diaz shows us the accompanying humidors equipped with the new Boveda Butler smart sensors. After […]
IPCPR 2018: Viaje
We caught up with Andre Farkas in the Viaje booth late in the trade show, and he was very much in party mode. But even with drink in hand, Andre was happy to talk about the Viaje Exclusivo Collector’s Edition Humidors (which are shipping) and Private Keep. Private Keep is a vehicle for Viaje to […]

In the always flashy and enticing Arturo Fuente booth, Liana Fuente and the perpetually dapper Manny Iriarte show us the new Carlos Fuente Commemorative Humidor, that features a clever “secret stash” compartment that opens from the back, decorated with Carlos Fuente’s fingerprint in gold. It’s a limited edition piece, only 858 were produced. We also […]
IPCPR 2017: Foundation Cigars
The very last interview we did before walking off the IPCPR trade show floor for the last time was with Nick Melillo of Foundation Cigars. And it’s a doozy- so buckle in, grab a drink and light up a cigar. A lot of people talk about having a busy show, but the Foundation booth was […]

In the Davidoff booth at IPCPR 2017 we met up with Charles Awad to take a tour of their latest products. He starts us off with the Winston Churchill The Late Hour. The cigar is a reference to the way Winston Churchill spent his late evenings. Charles tells us in the dark hours of the […]
IPCPR 2017: Humi-Care
In the back corner of the General Cigar booth was a display of Humi-Care accessories. I’m not familiar with Humi-Care, so I talked the guy at the display into telling us a little about what they brought to the show. He shows us the clever humidification product called Black Ice. It looks like your standard […]
IPCPR 2017: S.T. Dupont
We couldn’t get the cameras rolling fast enough when we stepped into the S.T. Dupont section of the Davidoff booth at IPCPR 2017. I can’t think of anyone more excited to show us their new product than Alain Crevet, President of S.T. Dupont. Immediately we he was showing us the new Wild West-themed accessories for […]
IPCPR 2017: Adorini
Adorini humidors and cigar accessories never fail to impress. This year Torger Brunken had a number of interesting products to show us. The first was the Chianti Rosewood humidor (MSRP $337) with three drawers and a humidifier that cleverly hides behind the drawers. We also see the the precise and fast-acting synthetic hair hygrometer in […]
