IPCPR 2019: JM Tobacco
JM Tobacco did not release any new products at this year’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, deciding instead to concentrate on highlighting its two Española blends, which debuted back in 1996. The company did show off new packaging options for the Española cigars, specifically 10-count boxes that should begin shipping to retailers next month.
The booth was the same as last year but seemed to be a bit more open than I recall seeing, allowing the products that were placed around the parameter to be shown off to optimum effect. Although it was not super busy while I was there photographing, there were times that I walked by during the show on my way to other booths where it was obvious that quite a bit of business was being conducted.

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.
