IPCPR 2018: RoMa Craft Tobac
RoMa Craft is back this year with a completely redesigned booth, bringing their walls to the center, opening up the sides and creating sitting areas along the edge with some comfy chairs and Wicked Anvil custom ashtray tables.
With just the IPCPR PAC members on the floor when I showed up, you could tell plenty of people had already made a bee-line for the booth as it was crowded with retailers talking to the staff.
One part of the new booth I thought was a very cool addition is the photo wall. Each quadrant is representative of what makes up RoMa Craft Tobac: The factory, the employees, the fans and the retailers.

Brian Burt
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.
