The Smokin Tabacco Show: Cigar Brands – Who’s In Control, Who’s Hot, and Who to Watch?

November 16, 2022 By Matthew Tabacco

Brought to you by J.C. Newman Cigar Co. – This week Nicole and Matt sit down and light up some Atabeys and talk about a topic that has come up in the media recently – cigar industry power rankings but broken down into three categories. We break down who is who based on current analysis on who is in control, who is hot and who to watch out for. Listen in to find out who we named and why. A written three-part article is to follow. All of which is subject to change year-to-year.

Micallef news brings us some exciting stories from the week including news from JC Newman, Plasencia and LFD.

During the Room101 Top Three we talk about what Thanksgiving dishes we each like the most during the holiday.
