"A nice fuller bodied cigar that pleased me on many levels. All in all it was a great way to spend ninety minutes. I'll gladly smoke another of these." -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)
IPCPR previously reported that because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) believes blending pipe tobacco is “manufacturing,” retailers that plan to continue blending pipe tobacco should register with the FDA by December 31, 2016. However, earlier today (December 9), FDA extended the December 31, 2016 deadline to June 30, 2017 in certain circumstances. CLICK HERE to view the revised guidance.

"Overall this was a very good cigar experience. I would recommend this cigar to the 20 year old cigar aficionado or 80 year old novice, it is that of an all around good cigar experience with flavors that excite the palate from start to finish. As for me, if this cigar is available in the robusto vitola, I will be grabbing 10 of them for my personal humidor." -Matt C. (Big Matt)
If the name Hamlet Paredes sounds familiar, it's because he was a former Habanos S.A. ambassador who became famous among Cuban cigar smokers through his in-store rolling demonstrations and Cuban tobacco seminars held at tobacconists around the world. Rocky Patel met Paredes through one such tobacconist and offered him a job.

"Though this cigar was very one dimensional, in my opinion, it was well worth the investment of time. It would pair perfectly with an amaretto heavy cocktail or some fresh almond pastry. If you are a fan of medium body cigars with wonderful construction then this would be the cigar for you. Grab one and give it a shot." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)
At this year’s IPCPR in New Orleans I ran into Michael of Whiff Out on the show floor and then at one of the cigar after parties. Michael talked about how amazing Whiff Out worked and said I should try it. A few weeks after the show I got in contact with him and he was kind enough to send me some samples to review and try out.
