The Cigar Authority

Dave is back from his yearly trip to the Dominican Republic. He visited some factories, met with some of the biggest cigar producers and has some stories to tell.

Today we look at one of the most debated things in the cigar industry, and that is cigar etiquette. The so-called 10 Commandments of being a good brother or sister of the leaf. The amount of emails we get on the subject is amazing, and we’ve listened to the requests to make this a yearly topic. In the first hour we light up the Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel Aged from the Care Package and let you know about this cigar that sees the wrapper aged inside barrels once used for bourbon. In the second hour we look at the reviews you left about The Cigar Authority. We’ve reviewed cigars, magazines, and even a movie or two. But now it’s time for us to share your brutal honesty. We do that while lighting up the cigar we named Cigar of the Year in the first hour. The Aganorsa Leaf Connecticut Robusto. The over/under on Barry referring to this as not your Grandfather’s Connecticut sits at 4.5. We also have the usual suspects such as Versus, Offer Of The Day, Asylum, Classic 3-Way and Cigar News on the number one down

It’s one of the most popular shows of the year, as David Garofalo sits down and lets us know the state of the cigar industry. Is there growth? What countries are producing? What are the trends? What does the future hold? We go over the stats and debate them while smoking the Hammer + Sickle Tradicion Churchill. We will then welcome to the show Erik Wentworth the Vice President of Hammer + Sickle Cigars as we discuss what 2019 will bring for the company. We will play some show and tell and discuss what is in store. We also have the usual suspects such as Versus, Offer Of The Day, Asylum, Classic 3-Way and Cigar News on the number one downloaded cigar podcast in the world.
