IPCPR 2019: Blanco Cigar Co.

After having a fairly big year in terms of new cigars at the 2017 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show—that was the year the company released a collaboration with Bryan Glynn of CigarObsession.com as well as a bundle cigar available in three different wrappers—this year was fairly low-key for Blanco Cigar Co. David Blanco told me that the cigar company was hoping to show off a new blend, but it was not ready in time for the show.

Interestingly, while there was nothing new to show off, Blanco had a booth that had been rearranged a bit compared to past years, including fewer couches and more chairs. It also seemed significantly more open when I was walking through it, a very good thing for any company with a booth on the floor.

Davidoff is the official sponsor of halfwheel's coverage of the 2019 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show.

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.
