This week, we celebrate the first birthday of Ferio Tego with the 2021 Smokin Tabacco “Man of the Year” Michael Herklots. We talk about the growth of the first year of the company and we check out the new Elegancia and Generoso cigars on the show. We also talk bout the ‘Timeless’ line comeback and what, other than cigars themselves, challenges Michael faced in getting the company to market. We also talk about his hosting duties during Smoke Inn’s ‘The Great Smoke’ and he tells us how much he didn’t know about the job until he arrived! We present Michael with the ‘Man of the Year’ award after a truly deserving year. Don’t forget to Like & Subscribe.
