IPCPR 2019: Cohiba
It’s always great to catch up with Sean Williams. We kicked off our annual tour of the General Cigar booth in the Cohiba section, where Sean gave us the scoop in the 2019 release of the Cohiba Spectre, a follow-up to last year’s inaugural release of the very limited, super-premium cigar. It may share the […]

IPCPR 2018: Cohiba
Sean Williams was bringing sexy back this year in the Cohiba section of the General Cigar booth. And sexy, it turns out, is named Spectre. Sean describes Spectre as his ultimate cigar geek project, that started with finding a 22 year old tercio (palm bark-wrapped bale) of piloto cubano in the factory. The blend includes […]
IPCPR 2017: Complete Digest
At long last, the marathon of IPCPR 2017 coverage is complete. It took a little longer than expected to get them all posted, but then, we filmed a few more interviews than we did last year. About a dozen more, in fact. That included a big expansion of videos covering products (and topics) related to, […]
IPCPR 2017: Cohiba
We always look forward to talking to Sean Williams at IPCPR, this we found him representing Cohiba at the front of the General Cigar booth. Cohiba is a popular brand, and Sean’s a popular guy, and he was busy every time I passed. Clearly General made a good call making him the Cohiba Brand Ambassador. […]
IPCPR 2016: Complete Digest

IPCPR 2016: El Primer Mundo
No IPCPR is complete without a visit to the El Primer Mundo booth to talk to Sean Williams. This year is a special year for Sean, El Primer Mundo is celebrating its tenth anniversary. You know what that means- it’s time for a tenth anniversary cigar. And that’s exactly what Sean brought to the show. […]
El Primer Mundo Announces Costa Fuerte
A little over a week ago I was surprised to see Sean Williams, owner of El Primer Mundo kicking back at my local shop. (But only a little, he is based in Atlanta, after all.) He was there with a friend smoking lanceros bearing the plain paper band you often see on pre-release cigars. When […]
La Hermandad by El Primer Mundo
Today Sean Williams, owner of El Primer Mundo, shared with us his plans to release another new cigar this summer called La Hermandad. As you can see, this new line marks a departure from the previous map-and-coins design. La Hermandad being made in the Dominican Republic and in three sizes, Robusto (5 x 50), Sixty […]
