IPCPR 2019: Micallef Cigars

Micallef Cigars might not have as prime a spot as last year, but it was still on the front row, even if the booth was to the far left of the entrance.

Even though they were somewhat over in a corner, the booth filled up quickly despite the fact the show floor had just opened. I got to speak with vice president Steve Henrickson about the new products at the show, and while there weren’t nearly as many as last year with the Bold Series coming out, Micallef still had quite a bit.

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.
