Views on swag are mixed. Some practically demand it as a necessity while others could care less or have so much they arent influenced by it. "I have enough ashtrays, cutters, hats, etc" is a common comment. Some manufacturers rely on it quite a bit while others scoff at it. The owner of one cigar company used to say when asked about swag "my customers can afford to buy their own clothing." What do you think? Is it important? If so what swag would you like to see that no one is producing?

Had a great time at the Rocky Mountain Cigar fest. This event moved to Wyoming this year so I wasnt sure what to expect but it ended up being a great event and we sold out of our Cigar Dojo Cripy boy 6 packs. The rest go on sale on Smoke Inn today. Have you been to this event? Its a favorite of mine. Always a lot of fun

Proud to have produced this cool concept for Cigar Dojo. 6 toro cigars in a bundle wrapped in a coozie. We release them next week at Rocky Mountain Cigarfest Aug 1. Hope to see you there!

While at Famous Cigars in Easton, PA we dissected a 10 x 100 to show that this cigar uses top ingredients as wrapper, binder, and filler. Its actually a difficult cigar to make due to the size and the type of leaf required for the components. I'll be honest with you, this cigar is not one I've smoked more than twice. (Quality control validation). But it's made to be of the same consistency and optimal flavor as a smaller vitola. Anywho, I thought the photo was cool so am posting it here for all to view.

Spent a few days in Esteli last week going over projects for 2027 (Tradeshow is only 9 months away!) Also reviewed some of our QC procedures based on some conversations I've had here in the group. I am happy to report cigars are being weighed individually, as ruedas (wheels), and draw tested. Thanks to all who voiced concern. Never hurts to check!

We debuted this item at the PCA back in April and are now shipping this week. The Sampler includes 10 of the previously released sizes of Supreme. Because we never duplicate sizes this is an opportunity to try ones which sold out before you got into the blend or revisit ones your loved from previous years. Hope you enjoy!

I filmed one of our retailers smoking the Lunatic 10 x 100 and it went viral with Elon Musk reposting it. His repost added 43 million views. Pretty incredible. I'm not a big ring guy myself but it is amazing how many big ring cigars we sell.

Watched the Champions League final this weekend while validating a Supreme Leaf International. We sell these outside the US and its our number one seller but for the world cup we released a batch of them in the United States. Enjoy them this summer because after this they will be found again only in Europe, Asia and Africa. Who do you think will win the World Cup? Spain is looking good! Pulling for the US but after yesterday's game versus Senegal Im not too optimistic.
