For the third year in a row, How Bout That Cigar is going to see if John McTavish has anything to say. Or anything he can say.

I will be a guest on How Bout That Cigar’s “Industry Hive Mind” show that will likely serve as a recap of the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show. Interestingly, it’s the same quartet of guests that How Bout That Cigar has had for the last two years running:

  • Abe Dababneh of Smoke Inn/Kiss My Ash
  • Skip Martin of RoMa Craft Tobac
  • John McTavish of Developing Palates

The previous two iterations of this show have each taken more than three hours, maybe we can speed that up tonight. You can watch below.
