TPE2022: Epic Cigars and Nat Cicco Cigars

Here’s another little video from last week’s Tobacco Plus Expo.  I hadn’t seen  Dean Parsons for a while, since he sold his company to Nat Cicco and went to work for them.  I also had never smoked a Nat Cicco cigar until just tonight. I selected the Liga No. 4 in the Aniversario 1965 line.… Continue reading »

TPE2022 Thoughts and a Few Minutes with Micky Pegg of All Saints Cigars

As I’m getting ready to fly home I’m reflecting on the last few days at the TPE show. This was my first major event in two years, mostly pandemic related, but there were also some personal concerns. At the risk of appearing less than humble, I had forgotten how many people I knew in the cigar industry.

TPE2022: Bocock Brothers Cigars

Their Don Juan Calavera and Marchetti cigars have been some of my favorites over the past three years. I was honored when Susana Piñeda, the owner of the company, recognized me when I approached the booth.  Today I sat down with her for a few minutes to chat.… Continue reading »

A Visit to Best Cigar Pub, Blackbird Cigar Co. Cigars and Video and Contest Winner

Yesterday I found myself wandering much further north in PA than I usually find myself. There was a seminar on Bees and Chickens that my wife and I attended, and I snuck off during the second half to do some of my own research. Twenty minutes away from the venue where the seminar was held happened to be the brand new Best Cigar Pub, and Best Cigar Prices headquarters. I figured this would be a good place to visit. Fortunately, the purchasing manager, Chris O’Neill, managed to arrange a tour for me. Katie (Katy? I forgot to clarify), the Finance/HR director, gave me a tour of the entire facility.… Continue reading »
