First Cigar Trade Show Since The Pandemic May 15, 2021

Show notes

This week on The Cigar Authority Live from the Studio 21 Podcast Cafe, for over a year now, the pandemic has caused all trade shows to close, and Las Vegas has not allowed a trade show to happen until now. TPE – The Tobacco Plus Expo just wrapped up and we will tell you how it went. Also, there is an all-out war against flavored cigar… they could be banned. How will that impact the premium cigar industry.

In the first hour we will smoke the Artisan Triple Wrap Cigar from the care package and answer how much does the wrapper change the flavor of a cigar. In the second hour we will light up an Oliva Serie O Perfecto.

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