I met Marvin at a local cigar shop back in 2009, it’s when I smoked Liga Privada No. 9 for the first time. I enjoyed seeing Marvin at events over the years, but it’s been quite a few years since we talked. When I heard he was making a movie, I was excited.… Continue reading

An Olmec Claro, a 601 La Bomba Warhead and a Video
Last December I picked up the Foundation Cigar Co. Olmec in Maduro and Claro. I had smoked the Maduro, and gifted the Claro. I happened to be shopping at The Wooden Indian a few weeks back and picked up another Claro, because I wanted to smoke it! I really enjoyed the Maduro, and I’ve enjoyed so many cigars made by Nick Melillo over the years.… Continue reading
A Video Interview with Ricky Rodriguez of West Tampa Tobacco Co.
I’m trying something a little new here. Ricky kind of encouraged this, I’ve been thinking about it for some time. When I talked to him a few weeks ago he asked to do it, and I had to figure out how. I did, and I think it worked out very well. Rick and I talked for 50 minutes about the company, the cigars, the factory and several other topics. Please give it a watch and let me know what you think.… Continue reading
PCA 2022: Powstanie/Cigar Hustler with Mike Szczepankiewicz
Mike Szczepankiewicz of Cigar Hustler/Powstanie Cigars is another one of those guys in the cigar industry who’s a triple threat. Mike has a podcast, a store and a brand (the later two co-owned with his brother, Greg). I’ve known Mike for a few years and I find him to be a likable fellow. It’s nice when you find someone who has the same muscular physique (of course, I kid. I haven’t set foot in a gym since high school). … Continue reading
PCA 2022: Platinum Nova Cigars and a Nova 484
Believe it or not, I’m nearing the end of the PCA show videos I took. As I’ve said before, I’m not competing with other media sites, I do things my way. I’ve maintained that I’m a blogger first, not a media site, I just love cigars and write stuff about them. I do enjoy doing the video interviews though, it’s fun talking to my friends in the cigar industry. My approach to the PCA show this year was casual, yet I had some goals and targeted a select few personalities to interview. I hope you’ve enjoyed the videos. This one was with Leo of Platinum Nova cigars, who I first met at the 2020 TPE show. … Continue reading
