IPCPR 2016: Don Lucas Cigars

For Don Lucas Cigars, the 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show featured not only two new blends, but also the first sampler to include its 20th Anniversary cigars.

While the Family Reserve cigars are being sold in two different blends—the same internal tobaccos with different wrappers—the 20th Anniversary cigars are packaged in eight-count samplers with two each of four different vitolas.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
