Cigar Coop Prime Time Show

On the Smoking Syndicate Roundtable 25, the Cigar Coop Coalition tackles the Padrón 3000 Maduro.

The Padron 3000 is a classic cigar that has been around for decades and has been one of the best-selling cigars on the market. Part of the iconic Padrón Series—often referred to as the “Thousand Series”—it holds a distinct place in cigar history as the benchmark for quality, consistency, and value in Nicaraguan tobacco.  The Thousand Series was intended to be an accessible, premium daily smoke priced far below its competition without sacrificing flavor or construction.  Join us as we revisit this classic cigar.

On Prime Time Special Edition 193, we talk about the Fantasy Titans of Tobacco.

Back in June, Coop attended the Tobacconist of Greenwich The Titans of Tobacco event. This brought together six leading factions/families in the cigar industry to raise money for Cigar Rights of America. These families were: Padrón, Fuente, Gomez, Melillo, Kelner, and Diaz.  However there are many other families out there. Tonight, Bear and Coop assemble their own roster for a fantasy event – we include the families selected, the cigars they would bring, the location of the event, and the cause.

Plus we will have our Artesano de Tobacco Under the Sea, Lure/Valcari Tall Tales Segment, Espinosa This Day in Sports History, and Altadis USA Great Things are Happening segments
