This year Travis Pappenheim took us on a whirlwind tour of the new product in the Altadis booth at IPCPR 2018. And we cover a lot of ground. We get started with the new Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua, which is a step up in body from the original 1875 and features Nicaraguan Habano leaf. […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 104
It’s good to be back. If you follow me on social media, you’ve probably seen a lot of pictures of exotic locales interspersed with pictures of cigars that rarely show up in one of my Weeks in Smoke. I was on vacation in Southeast Asia (Malaysia and Bali) and I made a point to browse […]

Fortunately we had Janelle Rosenfeld, VP of Marketing for Altadis to give us a streamlined guide us through all their new releases. The resulting video is a little longer than most of our […]
