Editor’s Note: There is one story that we have chosen not to publish this week. The reason behind this is the story’s origins include information that we don’t publish, specifically wholesale pricing. Personally, I am all for the more information the better, however, wholesale pricing is not something that would better the Weekly News or any other news features at halfwheel, and in the interest of the big picture, we’ll chose to refrain. — el niño diablo.

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.
