Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, Nick visits Blend & Barrel in Sanford, Florida, and sits down with co-owner Shiah Goldberg. The two guys fire up the Chairman, the house cigar for Blend & Barrel, and discuss all of the aspects of the lounge, the philosophy behind creating a welcoming space, what goes into picking out both liquor and cigars for patrons to try, and more.
We also get into Shiah's history in the cigar industry and some of his views on various aspects of it, including the importance of brick and mortar versus the online guys.
Find out what we've been entertained by in the Villiger Cigars Entertainment Report.
And it's Friday, so it's time for another Fun Fact from Pinky!
And tune in near the end for an announcement about an upcoming virtual herf.
