The Cigar Pulpit

Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, Nick discusses a topic that has been popping up more and more this year, Track and Trace. It's a system of tracking tobacco products from the manufacturer to the retailer being used in the European Union. Nick discusses what it is, why it's in place, some of the pros and cons for it, and whether or not we're likely to see it in the United States anytime soon. And he gets into what it ultimately means for the consumer and his thoughts as to the real driving force behind it. 

It's a topic consumers may not be aware of but should be, because it could result in higher cigar prices. But what doesn't these days...

Find out what show Nick watched lately in the Villiger Cigars Entertainment Report.

And learn what three cigars Nick smoked and enjoyed this week.
