IPCPR 2018: Altadis

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. […]

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 […]
