After facing backlash from manufacturers, retailers, and media about their proposed cigar convention next year, CigarCon, the PCA (formerly IPCPR) has cancelled the event, for next year at least. The association says they are still considering if for 2021. They have also created a sub-committee to focus on CigarCon in the hopes of planning it in the future.

Today, we have a different kind of contest for you to enter. Not only can you win a 4-pack of Davidoff cigars with over 2 years of age on them, you can win a chance to have your question asked live at IPCPR. During the show, we will be interviewing all the major cigar names, and all you have to do to enter is come up with one question you would like to ask them. Silly, serious, personal? Anything is fair game, and we will pick our favorite before the show starts on Saturday 6/29/19.

·"Oh my how I loved this cigar. While it did not offer up any transitions along its length, from the very start it did offer so many varying flavors that a change of profile would have ruined the experience. The aroma was also quite nice when the smoke hit the nostrils. I'm looking forward to smoking a lot more of these in the future." -Isaac M. (The Nothing)

·"The cigar did have some nice flavors, but didn't have a lot of pop to it. It was gentle enough on the palate to make for a pleasant mid-morning smoke." -Ron (shuckins)
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Yesterday, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the Cigar Association of America, the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association and Cigar Rights of America filed a Motion for Summary Judgment and opening brief in the cigar industry's litigation challenging the FDA's Final Deeming Rule.
"This cigar was fantastic and kept my interest throughout the entire experience. Exhale was delicious cream, sandalwood, and the perfect amount of spice and sweetness. Citrus and slightly bitter ripe cherry twang flirt in and out of the profile. The retrohale provided varying levels of black pepper, wet cedar, cream and bubblegum. I will be buying a ton of these cigars if readily available and putting them in my regular rotation." -Matt C. (Big Matt)
