The Cigar Authority

Also Known As… Cigar Companies & The Brands Behind Them!

This week on The Cigar Authority broadcasting live from the Toscano Sound Stage in Salem, New Hampshire… “A-K-A” is Also Known As… but not many people know cigar companies by their brand names. The company is NOT the cigar brand all the time. Who are the real companies behind the brands?

But before we get to that, we welcome Noel Rojas to show. He is a cigar manufacturer who left Cuba to follow his dreams. You might not know him yet, but he is someone to watch.

In the first hour we light up the Rojas Bluebonnets Corona Gorda while in the second hour we smoke a cigar that celebrates baseball. It’s the United Cigars Stadium Series II, a joint project wit C.L.E.

Join us for all of this and the usual suspects including the VS Question of the Week, Offer of the Day, Cigar News, The email of the week and a peek into the Asylum.
