The Cigar Authority

This week, we remember Howard Smith a longtime broker for Villazon, Miami Cigar and General Cigar. He was an old school guy. Things are changing for cigar reps. Are their days numbered?

This week live from the Toscano Sound Stage at Studio 21 Podcast Cafe… It’s new, its green and it’s the Bomb!  Today we drink and light up the same thing… a cigar that should pair perfectly – The Irish Car Bomb.   In the first hour we will drink an Irish Car Bomb and light up the latest offering from United Cigars of the same name that is part of The Cigar Authority care package.

We will talk cigar pairings including some odd ball pairings.  In the second hour we will have a sneak peak of something new from JC Newman. We fire a pre-release of the Perla Del Mar Corojo as we are joined by a former rep who is now a member of the Two Guys Smoke Shop staff.

In the second hour of the cigar we fire up a Cuban Cohiba Siglo VI and compare it to cigars available in the American market that we feel are better and in some cases less expensive.

Why can’t we all just get along? It seems like there’s a lot of fighting going on between the various cigar media outlets. Are bloggers more influential than podcasters and where do vloggers fit in?

This week on The Cigar Authority LIVE from the Toscano Cigar Sound Stage… Monday is Presidents Day and although we do not like to get into Politics on the show… you might be amazed at which President smoked cigars and which did not, and what does it mean?  We will be joined by Jim Price from CLE as we smoke the Eiroa First 20 in the first hour.

In the second hour of the cigar we have heard from countless individuals who want to be a cigar rep, but many do not know what this entails. It’s not a walk in the park and we will talk to Jim about the day in the life of a cigar rep.

We will have this and all the usual suspects including Versus, Offer of the Day, Cigar News and a peek into the Asylum.
