The Smokin Tabacco Show: Does Some Cigar Marketing Go Too Far? We Ask Pete Johnson

February 7, 2022 By Matthew Tabacco

This week we welcome Pete Johnson back to the show to see what’s new at Tatuaje. We talk about Tobacco Plus Expo, Pete explains why Tatuaje did not attend the show but confirms they will be at PCA 2022 in July. During our Micallef new segment, we get into some of the cigar marketing and packaging that goes on that some feel is too far or too childish and we get his opinions on it based on his experience with the Monster Series. We also talk a little bit about the cigar documentary, Hand Rolled, that Pete helped to make. In our Room101 Top Three segment, we asked Pete to tell us the three projects he ever worked on that just kind of slipped away and never became successful or never even came to market.
