I always enjoy talking to Ted Jackson of Ted’s Cigars. For those not familiar, Jackson has deep political ties and he’s always a great person to chat about the cigar industry’s legislative issues. Unfortunately, Jackson didn’t appear to be at his booth.

There aren’t any new products from Ted’s this year and the booth is the same. I wish I had something more entertaining to write.

In addition, I handle a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff here at halfwheel. I enjoy playing tennis, watching boxing, falling asleep to the Le Mans 24, wearing sweatshirts year-round and eating gyros. echte liebe.
