Today, Patrick Lagreid joins as a guest co-host while Brooks is on vacation. He joins for what might be the most interesting episode of our PCA 2021 Countdown shows: the 10 companies we are going to miss the most.

We aren’t just going to list off some of the companies, but we are going to talk about why we miss them and many of the questions that surround these companies’ decisions to not exhibit at the 2021 PCA Convention & Trade Show.

In addition to listening to Patrick and me talk, you have a chance to win a custom-painted skateboard deck from Drew Estate and Subculture Studios. Just ask a question on the video post on either Facebook or YouTube and you’ll be entered to win. If we choose your question as one of our three favorites (and we answer it) you will win.

Contest Rules:

  • Must be a U.S. resident 21-years-old or older.
  • You may ask as many questions as you like, but you may only win one prize per show.
  • Employees of Rueda Media, LLC, Drew Estate, Swisher and their subsidiaries are ineligible.
  • Winners must contact the [email protected] email by June 12, 2021 12:00 P.M. CDT.
  • Prizes will ship in July.

I am an editor and co-founder of halfwheel.com/Rueda Media, LLC. I previously co-founded and published TheCigarFeed, one of the two predecessors of halfwheel. I have written about the cigar industry for more than a decade, covering everything from product launches to regulation to M&A. 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.
