The Spare Notes Series #22: Who’s in the Running?

August 3, 2022 By Matthew Tabacco

Brought to you by Drew Estate: The Rebirth of Cigars – On this week’s show, we talk about who is in the running for Cigar of the Year now that we are past the halfway point. Matt and Coop trade ideas for what cigars they like based on eligibility for 2022. The guys also talk about non-eligible cigars that have impressed and disappointed.

Matt and Coop also take a break to discuss a little bit more of the 2022 PCA trade show – things that were left out from the last episode such as how well did the media cover all the booths? Were certain booths left out by a majority of media groups?
