Editor’s Note: This week was a solemn week for the cigar industry. Manny Ferrero of Ashton Distributors passed away at the Tobacconist Association of America conference in Cabo San Lucas. I only met Manny once and even to me, a stranger, he was kind and overly enthusiastic about not just Ashton, but the industry as [...]

A deal between lawmakers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo surrounding the New York State budget is in place without any changes in cigar taxes. A few months ago, Cuomo proposed a change in how New York collects taxes on premium cigars that would haven seen a 50% tax on the retail price with the distributor paying [...]

Busy week, slow week, busy week, slow week. Or at least that’s how I’d like to think of it. The reality is the weeks keep getting busier as we now sit (less than) three weeks out from the IPCPR trade show in Las Vegas. Companies are beginning to announce the last of their show plans, [...]

Editor’s Note: Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of TheCigarFeed. While I’ve already reflected on one year and the future, I guess I’ll reflect on this time last year. We are now about one month away from IPCPR and things are in full swing. Press releases, samples and rumors are already flying around the cigar world. [...]

Editor’s Note: On Friday, the IPCPR sent out the much awaited “rules” for the bloggers. It was met with quite a host of criticisms, but in the end, I think it can only be viewed as a step in the right direction. There were a host of difficulties involved with trying to create a solution [...]

Editor’s Note: A lot of tidbits of cigars that we haven’t mentioned this week, but the two major stories are the information regarding the El Rey de los Habanos lawsuit and Michael Herklots’ departure from Davidoff of Geneva. I’ll use this editorial space to comment on some of the interesting reactions to Maryland’s most recent [...]

This week in cigar news: Pete Johnson. Seriously, it’s a relatively quiet week with the notable exception of Tatuaje’s Pete Johnson. When you remove the Havana Cellars news, it becomes shockingly silent. After the jump, a massive La Flor Dominicana, a new Nestor Miranda, the rerelease of a few cigars, including an ultra-rare Oliva, a [...]

Pete Johnson gave an update to Saints & Sinners. Pete is waiting on swag for the club, which he says won’t be in until May, meaning that he’s going to hold back the launch a bit later than the April 1st (Friday) launch date he wanted. The good news is, it shouldn’t be much longer [...]

And cigar news… (Going to have to find a way to keep the intros interesting, which might be difficult.) This past week was dominated by the XIII Festival del Habano in Cuba and all of the events that make-up what is perhaps the most interesting cigar festival. Outside of Havana, there was still quite a [...]

There’s a much different style to the news, okay sort of… A few stories are still in paragraph form, but most will be in bullet points to try to make the whole story easier for you to read. Don’t get me wrong, I love comments – but, I never ask for them. I love hearing [...]
