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 »

PCA 2022: Stolen Throne Cigars

Continuing along with the video interviews I did at the PCA show, here’s a few minutes with Lee Marsh of Stolen Throne Cigars.  This was my first time meeting Lee in person, I’ve talked to him via video chat plenty over the last year, but our paths finally crossed in the physical world.  You may remember that one of my favorite cigars of last year was the Stolen Throne Three Kingdoms, and it remains amongst my favorites.

I had a nice talk with Eric Newman of J.C. Newman, makers of some of my favorite cigars. … Continue reading »

PCA 2022: Patina Cigars

There are a few people in the cigar industry who crossover into different areas.  Mo Maali is one of those.  In addition to being the  owner of Patina Cigars, he’s also on a podcast called Sultans of Smoke.  Mo is one of the people who are in my ear on a fairly regular basis, so I may know him better than he knows me. There are a few people like this in the industry, I’m doing my best to interview them all.… Continue reading »
