On this episode, we FINALLY get into Lanceros and settle the score on what exactly Coop thinks about them. We also explain what makes them different and how that affects market availability. We cover cigar packing and ask: What point is it too much? After getting into some smaller news topics of the week, we dive into the PCA International Summit from this week and give our take aways from the event and provide feedback as to what the PCA can do to improve.
