This year, we decided to give you a tour of the show through the pictures we took while we were there. Some are of new items, and some are just things we thought were interesting. We will have a new slideshow for each major manufacturer and one big one for the smaller manufacturers.
General Cigar introduced a ton of new things at the show this year, and we are pretty excited about some of them.

In 1968 General Cigar Company purchased the Temple Hall Cigar Factory in Kingston, Jamaica. Along with this factory, the company acquired the Macanudo brand, a small cigar brand made just for the British market. Since then, it has taken off into one of the oldest and most smoked brands in the world.

·"I loved it. I should probably say more I guess. I didn't have to fight with this cigar, and it gave me some flavors that were pleasant, unique, and very compatible. It also kept me interested when the profile would transition and show me something new. Combine that with a smooth retrohale and a great burn and I am happy." -Matthew T. (A Huge Nerd)
Macanudo has announced another extension to their Inspirado line: Red. This is said to be the bolder of the inspirado line and offers a harmony of volcanic soil and hardcore aging techniques.
