The world of cigars is all about legacy. Cigar making families are constantly working to fine tune their craft, and raise up new generations who can carry the flame. On this week's episode, we're joined by Nicholas Perdomo III. When it comes to Perdomo Cigars, Nicholas is THE guy for the job. After decades of his Dad building one of America's most beloved brands, Nicholas is breaking into the industry with a project honoring his father's legacy. During this episode, you'll get to ask your questions about the brand, the blends, and more directly to Nicholas.

This is a good look at the future of cigars. While Nicholas is next in line for Perdomo, he also represents the up and coming generation of cigar makers. In 10-15 years the whole cigar world will look A LOT different. This is the beginning of something really significant.

Tonight’s episode of Cigars Daily LIVE is a special one—because we’re blend testing something that should’ve never happened in the first place.

We’re diving into the early blending stages of a brand-new project for the Daily Edition lineup. The working title? Cock of the Walk—a cigar inspired by our very own chicken wrangling cast member – Billy.

We’re going through the first round of samples, looking for that one blend that can rise above the rest and earn its place in the humidor. This is the part of the cigar-making process that doesn’t get talked about enough. It’s messy, it’s subjective, it’s full of surprises—and it’s absolutely critical.

Nicaragua has risen to the apex of the cigar making world over the last few decades, but now that status is being called into question.

Cigar makers have been drawn to Nicaragua for it's nutrient rich soil and the powerful leaf it produces. However, over the last few years, nearly every cigar making family has made bold moves to build brand new factories and cigar making infrastructure in Honduras. So has Nicaragua had it's 15 minutes of fame? Is Honduras going to become the new cigar making capital of the world? On tonight's episode, we'll talk about this topic and what it means for cigars long term.

Ever wonder what the people who make cigars actually smoke?

Tonight on Cigars Daily LIVE, we're diving into the world of farm rolled cigars—the unbanded blends rolled right on the factory floor, not for retail, not for ratings… but for the rollers themselves. These are the blends that never hit the shelves but hold a special place in the hearts of those who spend their days crafting cigars for the world.

We'll be lighting up some of these rare, rustic beauties and talking about what makes them so unique—from their construction and flavor to the down-to-earth culture that surrounds them. This is the side of the cigar world you don’t usually see—the behind-the-scenes smokes meant for the people who live and breathe this craft every single day.

In the cigar world, Corojo leaf is used by cigar makers to craft some of the most beloved blends we have today.

During this episode, we’ll discuss what makes Corojo such a valuable part of the blending process for so many cigar makers. We’ll look at where the Corojo seed was born, and how it has transformed over the years of moving around Latin America. Plus, we’ll answer your comments and questions

We’re living in a new era for the cigar aficionado. The cigar world used to be… well, a sausage fest. But these days, you’ll see more and more ladies in the local lounge than ever before. Today there are more ladies and couples in the world of cigars than there have ever been before. If makes my day when I see couples posting pics of their date night at a lounge or back porch with some inspiring blends.

At the same time, there’s still a massive group of guys who want to know how to introduce their romantic partners to the hobby. So for this episode, we’re joined by my wife, Allison The Wrench, and Billy’s wife, Michelle (who will likely have a nickname before the episode is over). They will be on the show to help discuss the ins and outs (no pun intended) of wooing the ladies with the potent perfume of cigars.

Who really is the king of the cigar making world? There are lots of contenders for this title. Hell, there's even a Master Blender Hall-of-Fame. If you ask 100 aficionados who is the best of them all, you're likely to get a lot of different responses. Some will favor newer boutique brands while others will swear by time tested names. During this episode, we'll be discussing some of the world's most premiere cigar makers and what sets them apart form everyone else.

The art of crafting cigars is timeless and traditional. It's not often that new methods pop up… and when they do, they're frequently novelties. During my 10 years in the cigar world, I have seen A LOT of 'new' ideas. And for the most part they are just ways to try and grab attention. But true innovation only happens in cigars then cigar makers redefine their creative process to bring a unique experience to aficionados. This week we will be diving into the immense effort that the Plasencia Family put into the Plasencia Alma Del Cielo (Soul of the Sky). This is the world's first high altitude cigar, and comes with a unique experience all it's very own.
