IPCPR 2019: JRE Tobacco Co.

JRE Tobacco Co’s booth is the same elongated layout it has had in the past, and while it was tucked away over on the side of the show floor, the company was still getting plenty of traffic even though the show had barely opened for the day.

The booth is actually a combination of the new booth from last year, laid out in the open manner that they had used in years past. The booth has a nice look to it and the open layout is inviting. This year there were size extensions to a couple of blends, along with a brand new blend under the Aladino brand.

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.
