Today I had the great honor and pleasure of interviewing a legend in the industry, Mr. Nestor Miranda. He was a very interesting interviewee, and his story is an inspiration to us all. To build a cigar company from nothing and have it still going strong twenty years later is a testament to his business sense and work ethic. I hope you all enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed interviewing Nestor.

Fairfax, VA – Cigar Rights of America (CRA) has announced a new program exclusively for its members that will serve as a unique member benefit, while advancing the cause of protecting cigar enthusiasts from intrusive taxation and regulation.
An initial coalition with approximately twenty of the world’s top cigar makers have joined forces to create a limited-edition, one-of-a-kind collection of cigars specially blended or sized for CRA members only! The cigars will be offered in two editions of an exclusive CRA Cigar Sampler* – each containing 10 cigars. These cigars are not available anywhere else and you must be a CRA member to get them.
CRA Executive Director Glynn Loope stated, “The Founding Sponsors of CRA wanted to offer something special to the membership. The participating companies have developed unique blends or sizes, available only in this sampler. With the proceeds of the sale of these cigars going to address the issues confronting cigar enthusiasts, this is a win-win for the member and all involved.”
The first edition CRA Cigar Sampler of 10 cigars will be pre-packaged in an all-inclusive humidor bag that includes Humidipak’s patented 2-way humidity control and will include exclusive cigars from Ashton, CAO, Casa Fernandez, Davidoff, Drew Estate, General Cigar (Punch), La Flor Dominicana, Padron, Rocky Patel and Tatuaje.
News about the CRA Cigar Sampler has already created high demand. Therefore, CRA will have a strict one sampler per member limit!

As some of you may know, I have been playing guitar for close to 10 years and love music. I was browsing the internet the other day and found this video from the people over at Wired magazine. In the video, they explain how to build a cigar box guitar. I’m sure most of you have a cigar box (or ten) lying around, so why not give this a shot? I know I will try to make one as soon as I have some down time, and will let you guys know how it goes. Enjoy!

Today, me and the boys review the Harpoon Leviathan, a delicious Imperial IPA. We had a little bit of a camera mishap, so we only got the tasting portion on camera (need a dedicated camcorder). Anyways, I hope you enjoy the review. I’d highly recommend picking up a four pack of Leviathan if you are a fan of IPAs, and if you don’t like them, you can just send them to me. Thanks for watching!

To the readers of The Weekly Cigar, It saddens me to say that this post marks the end of my cigar blogging career. Over the past months, I have become more and more involved in the cigar industry, and feel as though this involvement could lead many to question my objectivity. I now work in [...]
