Editor’s Note: So we made it one week. This past week was about as dead as cigar news goes, but over the weekend, things changed a bit. While there are a few stories, there honestly isn’t a whole lot of new news. I would like to thank everyone who supported us in week one and [...]

Editor’s Note: For those unfamiliar with this weekly tradition, I say welcome. This is the Weekly News, one of the more recognizable staples of TheCigarFeed and something sure to continue at halfwheel. This is the most comprehensive industry news report published currently, period. On most weeks, i.e. those that aren’t occurring around two major international [...]

Editor’s Note: It’s a light news week, which isn’t shocking, but there is quite a bit of relatively unheard of news. This past week we published our Top 10 list of cigars, which you can read here and later this week, we will close the year with our Ten Questions for 2012. Until then, some [...]

Editor’s Note: Apologies for what is the second time in a year and half the news is late. It’s not a great news week as nearly every company has shut down. Lots of new stuff for 2012 coming, but lots of stuff still to workout. Anyways, after the jump, a far less exciting rendition of [...]

Weekly News (December 12, 2011)

Editor’s Note: A few things. Last week I stated that we would not be publishing a Top Ten list this year, I lied. Due to a variety of things, one will come out sometime this week. Sales meetings start this week and will continue through the middle of January, which means you can expect lots [...]

Editor’s Note: December has arrived, and it is quite obvious. There’s not a whole lot of public news, but projects are beginning to come together for the upcoming year. There’s not a tremendous amount of news, and I suspect that will continue through early next year. A few things ship this week and next week [...]

Weekly News (November 28, 2011)

weekly news.001

Editor’s Note: The first story in the news this week is surrounding a new Rocky Patel, and it’s a bit controversial. I explain the details after the jump, but it’s led to a lot of speculation amongst manufacturers, consumers and retailers as to what really went on. Truth be told, there is one common denominator, [...]

Editor’s Note: This is not the most exciting of these commentaries, but it is the holiday season. Plenty of limited editions being released, as well as the traditional holiday cigars, which includes an Añejo and Opus shipment. The sales meetings will start soon, so cigar news is about to get a bit more interesting. Until [...]

Weekly News (November 14, 2011)

weekly news.001

Editor’s Note: Dare I say it, but the 2011 List is actually almost updated. You’ll notice the list is not in perfect form right now, but it is updated, a lot. There are a few manufacturers I’m still confirming things with, but the vast majority of the list is up to date, including new entries. [...]

Weekly News (November 7, 2011)

Editor’s Note: There is one story that we have chosen not to publish this week. The reason behind this is the story’s origins include information that we don’t publish, specifically wholesale pricing. Personally, I am all for the more information the better, however, wholesale pricing is not something that would better the Weekly News or [...]
