Freshbox Humidors and a Giveaway!

Hey, Craig from CigarCraig.com with a rather exciting new product I’ve been presented with. Years ago, back when I first started smoking — 30 years ago — I kept my cigars in coolers, Tupperware, whatever I could find that would hold a seal. Then I came across these guys, Cigar Bros, who were making humidors out of styrofoam. Very cooler‑like, but they’ve stepped it up.… Continue reading »

CigarCraig Flashback: IPCPR Show Videos

Since the PCA (nee IPCPR) show is this weekend, I thought I’d share some of the videos I did at past shows.  My wife, Jennifer deserves credit for ideas for the questions and camera work in ’13 and ’14, and my son Corey in ’16.  I won’t be attending again this year for several reasons, but I hope to get back next year.  We’ll have to think up a new question and do another one of these. These are a blast from the past in a lot of cases!  … Continue reading »

In the video Shaun tells us all about how he ended up bringing a brand from the UK into the US market.… Continue reading »

ATL and Luciano, Macanudo and West Tampa Tobacco Cigars

The highlight of the week for me was my interview with Marvin Samel (see video at the end of the post, or go back to the Friday post).  I really enjoy doing these interviews, hopefully they are enjoyable for you.  I didn’t mention it on the video, but I smoked a Liga Privada No. 9, the cigar I smoked for the first time when I met Marvin in 2009. Marvin was smoking a Havana Cohiba from a box he had bought in the Netherlands ten years ago. I guess we should have talked about the cigars, but I thought the behind the scenes movie stuff was really fascinating! … Continue reading »
