Each week The Cigar Authority podcast serves up a segment called Debonaire. It was handled by Gentleman Chuck Morrison who has moved on to bigger and better things (let’s be honest, he took a step back). Nowadays, the Debonaire segment is handled by Debonaire Mr. Jonathan who was on point today at the trade show in a suit that was an awesome shade of blue (check out his Facebook page). However, the Debonaire segment is second […]

La Aurora released the Time Capsule series earlier this year and the cigar has been well received. At the show they were showcasing the La Aurora DNA cigar called ADN Dominicana. La Aurora which is the first cigar factory often states that tobacco is in their DNA, so what better way to […]
It’s Day 3 at the 2017 IPCPR in Las Vegas and we start the day over at the Crowned Heads booth. A few weeks ago on The Cigar Authority podcast we had Jon Huber on a guest where he alluded to a new cigar coming out with the letter F. It wasn’t hard to figure out that would be the Four Kicks Maduro. We caught up with the national sales manager, Miguel Schoedel who showcased […]
When you visit the CLE booth at the 2017 IPCPR you realize one thing instantly, it’s not only insane, it’s asylum. We caught up with Christian Eiroa who goes way back with the Garofalo family as you will find out when you watch the video. Christian’s passion for the Eiroa 20 Years Colorado is unheralded as he tells us about the cigar that has been his vision for a long time. On the Asylum side […]

The company was on hand at the 2017 IPCPR where they were showcasing their 100% Arabica Coffee which is infused with tobacco. This is a first for us and we hope our ground crew brought back a sample of this for us to try. It’s available in […]
Just before the trade show, Colibri sent out a press release announcing the new Quasar cutter. It features two cutters in one. The V-Cut side cleanly cuts a wedge as deep as 7mm on a 60-ring for a full robust draw. The straight cut provides an equally crisp straight cut on cigars up to a 70-ring. Both sides will cut torpedoes with equal efficacy and ease. We stopped by the Colibri booth to check out this […]
