Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, Nick is back from a summer break with his son and is honoring the life and achievements of Heinrich Villiger, who passed away on July 25, 2025. Nick lights up a Villiger Limited Release Blend 51 and covers a few of the broad strokes of his career and the future of Villiger Cigars. 

This is part one of our week long tribute to Mr. Villiger. Tune in on Friday for Nick's conversation with Villiger Cigars North America President René Castaneda where the two will cover his legacy and René shares some stories of his interactions with Mr. Villiger. 

During the Villiger Cigars Entertainment Report, find out how Nick's week with his son went and what he's looking forward to watching.

And learn about Johnny the bagger and how his small act of kindness inspired so many others  during the Fly High with Blackbird Cigars segment.
