The Cigar Authority

Fixing Lighters and Smoking Wheels

This week on The Cigar Authority we smoke a few rare cigars... The first one was included in the now sold out Cigar Authority Care Package... Made in 2012; 500 boxes of 50 are long gone.. So what does David do? He sends out the ones he had stashed away in his personal collection...

In the second hour we light up a Cohiba XV550 Extra Vigoroso that was rolled by Dave on January 11, 2004.

On top of all of that we take on the question that is asked often in a cigar shop, how come my lighter doesn't light? We will break down lighter filling, lighter repair and why certain cans of Butane work better than others...

All this and more on The Cigar Authority...

Reinhold Widmayer and the End of KILO

We are joined by the Editor In Chief from Cigar Journal Magazine who weighs in on Dave’s article where he rated the cigar magazines… What will Reinhold Widmayer have to say?

Also rumour has it that KILO is no more, and we will have the details about it and how you can get a special deal on the remaining inventory… Tune in and find out how you can get two boxes for the price of 1.

The Humidor Edition and Editorial Fallout

This week on The Cigar Authority we smoke a couple of cigars that were not part of the Care Package; but that isn’t the big story…

The Big Story this week is the Fallout from David Garofalo’s Editorial on rating Cigar Magazine.. Some people weren’t happy but then again some loved it!

We will also talk Humidors including Fireproof humidors, refrigerated humidors and humidifiers. We will also discuss how to season it, and prep it for your cigars.

All this and more with David Garofalo, Mr. Jonathan and Barry Stein!
