IPCPR 2019: Jeremy Jack Cigars

After debuting five different lines at the 2017 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show and showing nothing new at last year’s show, Jeremy Jack Cigars was back at it this year with four brand new releases, all of which should be shipping to retailers by the end of the summer. Owner Brady Hayek told me that he decided to release each of the new creations in only one vitola to start, then expand whichever line or lines gain the most traction.

Unlike a large number of exhibitors, Jeremy Jack’s booth had changed quite a bit since last year’s show. The most notable change is the fact that the new cigars were being shown off on an open section in the middle of the booth instead of on a shelf, but the layout of the booth itself was also significantly more open and inviting as well.

I have been smoking cigars for over eight years. A documentary wedding photographer by trade, I spent seven years as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I started the cigar blog SmokingStogie in 2008 after realizing that there was a need for a cigar blog with better photographs and more in-depth information about each release. 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. I am a co-founder of halfwheel and now serve as an editor for halfwheel.
