boutique cigar talk

[Demuths1770]

The only "big" company that still allows access is Jonathan Drew. He's always got his face out there and I think that's why people still smoke his stuff. But in general, how many people have talked with the CEO or the blender of the bigger companies?

This right here is so very true!! Drew Estate really knows how to put on a event wether big or small. I think with everything new thats coming out boutique cigars and companys can not be coming to an end. I think the biggest issue with boutique cigars is that they are so small that they dont end up in many shops and only us cigar geeks know about them but on the flip side when it is great us cigar geeks buy it up. look at las calaveras this year. they went so quick and mostly in part because we talked about them after last year that even non cigar geeks got in on it
