Sticks: 

• Purple Pledge, by Casa Carillo (aged almost a decade). Tina highly recommends and argues its largely underrated, Carlos gives it an “good, not exciting” and Gary a "just ok". 
• Blood Medicine by Crowned Heads. Rated good-great by Gary and Carlos. Tina rated it a full-bodied bold cigar w/slight after taste and an acquired stick. 

Stories: 

• Carlos discusses his history with cigars, PCA and more! 
• Revisited: We discuss cigar facings and the dynamics which collide to bring them to consumers.
• We discuss the importance of fully utilizing the rep to bring the cigars to local markets while maintaining a virtuous relationship within the cigar ecosystem.
• Uh, oh.. what if there is a problem with your cigar? We discuss that and the importance of speaking up!
