Everyone returns to their rightful seats this week in the aftermath of last weeks chaotic show. This week we look at building a new cigar brand for the long terms as we sit down with Mo Maali as we talk about his brand Patina Cigars. We will sit down and talk with him as we discuss the challenges of building a new brand for the long term in today’s market and the regulations facing the cigar industry. We will smoke Patina Cigars which are made in Grenada, Nicaragua at Casa Favelli. In the second hour we will take a look at viewer feedback from last week’s show and see what you thought of it. We will also light up a second cigar, this one from the Care Package in Le Careme from Crowned Heads. Join us on The Cigar Authority, the most listened to cigar podcast in the world.
