Do you feel that the price of premium cigars have been constantly going up? Are they getting more costly than you can afford? Have you noticed more Limited Edition cigar releases with higher prices ? And what about the box count going from 25 to 20 to 15 to 10? Everything is going up in price but what does it really cost to make a premium cigar and what goes into the cost you pay once it is on a retailer’s shelf? Well, in this episode of Taking It To The Nub, we have assembled a panel of industry representatives to try to answer or at least address these questions and many more. The panel includes:
- Boston Jimmie (Stogie Press)
- David Lampert ( The Cigar Consultant/Granbury Cigar Company )
- Jonathon Lipson (The Cigar Profit)
- Jake Senior (Madre Tierra Cigars)
- Enid Blanton (Ancestry Cigars)
- Riste Ristevski (Jas Sum Kral Cigars)
- Frank “The Cigar Guy” Bellavia (Figurado Cigar Company)
These individuals cover everything from brand ownership, retailers, media, and consulting. Some are relatively new and others have been around for quite some time.
