The Cigar Authority 2019 Survey Results Show Aug 17, 2019

Show notes

Over the past few weeks we asked you our listeners and readers of TheCigarAuthority.com to partake in a survey where we asked you 20 questions. Well, the results are in and we will share the results… How much do you smoke, how much do you spend, what are your favorite brands and so much more. Barry has compiled all the answers and we share them with you the participants with whom it would not have been possible.

The big companies are out to hurt the little companies, but have those small companies turned the tide? It appears the big are getting smaller, but are the little companies getting bigger? Regardless, the cigar industry is changing and we will take a look at what’s going on as well as some major changes in Nicaragua.

In the first hour we will tackle the first 10 questions while smoking Intemperance by RoMaCraft Cigars, while in the second hour we fire up a Padron 2000 Maduro. Both cigars were named by us on our after-show where we shared with you cigars that are smoking really well right now.

The Big Are Getting Smaller Aug 10, 2019

Show notes

In Gulliver’s Travels, Gulliver was held captive by the people of Lilliput before he reached an agreement with the King where he would be permitted to roam free as long as he didn’t hurt the small people of the Island. Eventually he was charged with Treason before escaping. One could look at this tale and draw similarities to the Cigar Industry.

In the first hour we will fire up the JFR Lunatic Loco which comes to us from Aganorsa Leaf who just might be playing a part in this novel of cigar life.

In the second hour we fire up the Jose Dominguez Natural Grande from The Cigar Authority Care Package as we continue the discussion on the changes happening in cigar country.
