This week on The Cigar Authority broadcasting live from the Toscano Sound Stage in Salem, New Hampshire… Every cigar brand has a story, but no story is as controversial as the Cohiba story. Lawsuits, Prices, and The Most Ripped-Off Brand in History. We discuss Cohiba as we are joined by the guy that took Dave on his first trip to Cuba; former Chief Editor of Cigar Journal, Cigar Researcher, Author, and Owner of Twin Engine […]
Back on January 18th, 2020 we welcomed Michael Cappellini the Brand Ambassador to The Cigar Authority. The day started off under unusual circumstances when my wife and I took Michael and his girlfriend out to breakfast at a great Italian marketplace. Sadly, that place wasn’t offering its best representation that day as the regular chef sliced off his finger the day before and his apprentice was trying to cater to a full seating area on […]

We will light up a Studio 21 Cigar as well as a Master Selection from Davidoff so join us live for the madness known as The Cigar Authority […]
Dr. Gaby Kafie has an interesting story that has caught our attention at The Cigar Authority. He built a practice around visiting Nursing Homes, Assisted Living facilities, and doing House Calls, apart from his clinic. He spent a lot of time working visiting homeless shelters, A.I.D.S. clinics, and treating the indigent. He eventually had to leave the Medical profession as he developed an ocular disease called Central Serous Chorioretinopathy. This is a disease that affects the eyes […]
In light of the recent news delivered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding total regulation of the premium cigar industry, our family has decided to take action, but we need your help. We cannot do this alone. Earlier this year, we decided to introduce to market a specialty grade organic coffee from Honduras. Our family has been in the coffee business since 1933 in Honduras. Our new line “Kafie 1901 Coffee” is intended […]
