Smokin Tabacco

Brought to you by Drew Estate: The Rebirth of Cigars - On tonight's show, we talk about who is in the running for Cigar of the Year now that we are past the halfway point. Matt and Coop trade ideas for what cigars they like based on eligibility for 2022. They also talk about non-eligible cigars that have impressed and disappointed.

Matt and Coop also take a break to discuss a little bit more of the 2022 PCA trade show - things that were left out from the last episode such as how well did the media cover all the booths? Were certain booths left out by a majority of media groups?

This nearly three-hour part two episode sees us cover more developments of the PCA 2022 Trade Show and Convention since the last time we met for Part 1. One major topic of discussion is the end of the contract between the PCA and the Las Vegas Sands Corp. over use of the convention center and what other options could there be if the show doesn't return there.

We also talk about the SOTL (Sisters of the Leaf) Global Movement and how we feel they have done rolling out their program as well as the Cigar Rights of the World being relatively quiet thus far.
