The 7-20-4 booth hasn’t changed much from what I remember – but it’s a good setup with some tall signage that made it easy to find.

After having to wait a little bit to talk to Kurt Kendall while he talked with some retailers—always a good problem to have—we got down to chatting about the latest project he had to show off.

R.G. Series Connecticut

This is the first time the company has used a Connecticut wrapper – certainly something we’ve seen more companies doing lately, and something that seems to be appreciated by consumers.

  • Binder: n/a
  • Filler: n/a
  • R.G. Series Connecticut 660 (6 x 60) – $11.50 (Boxes of 20, $230)

  • R.G. Series Connecticut Robusto (5 x 52) – $9.75 (Boxes of 20, $195)
  • R.G. Series Connecticut Toro (6 x 52) – $10 (Boxes of 20, $200)

Dog Walker Display
The other new thing they had was something for the retailers – and it was a display tray for the company’s three Dog Walker blends, able to fit five packs of five cigars for each.

I have been smoking cigars since 2005 and reviewing them as a hobby since 2010. Initially, I started out small with a 50-count humidor and only smoking one or two cigars a month. Not knowing anybody else that smoked cigars, it was only an occasional hobby that I took part in. In March of 2010, I joined Nublive and Cigar Asylum, connecting me with many people who also shared an interest in cigars. Reading what they had to say about brands I had never heard of, I quickly immersed myself in the boutique brands of the industry and it was then that cigars transformed from a hobby into a passion.
