Editor’s Note: This is the week of ProCigar 2012, and as such, much of the news will likely be about the Dominican Republic. Quesada will formally open their new factory (and perhaps give it a new name) and announce the next size of Q d’etat. It sounds like things will be quiet at La Aurora [...]

Editor’s Note: For those that were hoping for tons of news, I apologize. This was one of the more quiet weeks in cigar news. February will be a bit busy now, particularly with ProCigar coming up in about two weeks. Unfortunately, every once in a while, things are quiet. — el niño diablo. La Flor [...]

Editor’s Note: This one is pretty simple. There are some technical issues plaguing the site currently. We know of two somewhat major issues. First and foremost, commenting from a computer seems to not be working, although commenting from mobile devices seems to be working fine. We are trying to resolve this issue and think we [...]

Editor’s Note: And it was supposed to be a slow week in the cigar world. What seemed destined to be a rather quiet week turned into the busiest of the year. Familiar readers of the weekly news will see that it is back to somewhat of a familiar form. Cabaiguan WCD 120 REDUX — The [...]

Editor’s Note: It was the week of price increases. Rising energy cost and a new standard of living increase in Nicaragua were the blame for the majority of the price increases announced this past week. While no increase was that drastic, the common theme might seem a bit alarming. Anyone that thinks this will be [...]

Editor’s Note: So those eighteen posts were what could be described as the first normal week at halfwheel. I am happy to announced that we have added Patrick Lagreid to the halfwheel team. All of us are pleased to have Patrick here and we think he is going to be a perfect fit for what we are [...]

Editor’s Note: So we made it one week. This past week was about as dead as cigar news goes, but over the weekend, things changed a bit. While there are a few stories, there honestly isn’t a whole lot of new news. I would like to thank everyone who supported us in week one and [...]

Editor’s Note: For those unfamiliar with this weekly tradition, I say welcome. This is the Weekly News, one of the more recognizable staples of TheCigarFeed and something sure to continue at halfwheel. This is the most comprehensive industry news report published currently, period. On most weeks, i.e. those that aren’t occurring around two major international [...]

Weekly News (December 26, 2011)

weekly news.001

Editor’s Note: It’s a light news week, which isn’t shocking, but there is quite a bit of relatively unheard of news. This past week we published our Top 10 list of cigars, which you can read here and later this week, we will close the year with our Ten Questions for 2012. Until then, some [...]

Editor’s Note: Apologies for what is the second time in a year and half the news is late. It’s not a great news week as nearly every company has shut down. Lots of new stuff for 2012 coming, but lots of stuff still to workout. Anyways, after the jump, a far less exciting rendition of [...]
