Editor’s Note: The cigar industry has a disclosure problem. It’s nothing new and beginning to be a well-documented complaint as the level of knowledge amongst a minority of consumers increases. At every juncture, the cigar industry collectively seems to get away with not disclosing more than most seem logical: blend changes, tobacco origins, production sizes, [...]

The La Aurora 107 Maduro was formally announced shortly after IPCPR 2010. After a fairly successful La Aurora 107 launch, Guillermo León, José Blanco and the Miami Cigar & Co. team sought to capitalize on the line’s popularity.

Last year, I published an article entitled Ten Questions for 2011. The concept was simple, what were a few of the topics to watch for in the upcoming year. With the notable exception of E.P. Carrillo’s crazy year, I’d like to think that we covered most of the major topics of 2011. With another year [...]
