The Cigar Authority Looks At Pricing Trends Apr 08, 2017

Show notes

In the recent years there has been a flood of cigars that cost $10-$15-$20. Sometimes you can’t come up with the extra scratch to grab a bunch of these for yourself or your buddies if you are heading out to play some golf or go to a barbecue.

Thankfully there seems to be a new sweet spot for cigars that cost under $5. On today’s episode of The Cigar Authority broadcasting live from Two Guys Smoke Shop we will take a look at the best of the cigars that smoke a hell of a lot more expensive then their price tag. We will light up two of those cigars, but you need to tune in to find out what we smoke.

Plus David has returned from a Night To Remember which raised a lot of money for Prostate Research and he will give us the low down on some of the stories as well as a look at some of the items that were purchased at auction.
