Fair warning- we only got this episode going after some insane technical issues, so if you want to hear Cigars Daily LIVE come off the rails, this is your episode.

Most cigars come into the industry quietly. They get a soft, smooth, easy going launch into the industry. Others are more like the latest Avengers movie on opening day (I realize my movie theatre analogy is a little bit dated). These cigars are released to much acclaim. They receive all the fanfare in the world. Tonight, we're looking at some of these cigars to see just what it takes for a cigar to become a cigar world blockbuster hit! Plus, we get to peek in on a brand new project from industry giant Drew Estate, which is just coming out this week.

Cigars can only live in one place - a humidor. It's the one place where cigars can survive and potentially age into fine tools for celebrating life's special moments. But a good humidor isn't always easy to come by. Today the world is plagued by poorly informed information about how to create a place to accurately store cigars. And it can cause cigar lovers to lose entire collections. During this episode, we'll be diving deep into the topic of humidors. What can/should they be made of? What's the best humidity and temperature? What are the dangers that aficionados need to watch out for when seasoning and storing cigars long term?

Cigar Makers do some AMAZING things. Their art is one of the most logistically dense and complicated processes I’ve seen in my entire life. I admire my cigar making friends as much as I feel for the tremendous challenges they face on a daily basis. That being said, they don’t always get it right. Cigar Makers have simultaneously done some of the most brilliant and bone headed things I have seen in my adult life. During this episode, we will discuss a crucial item that will help cigar makers (many of whom do watch this show) to see where they’re going wrong, and what they can do to make the industry better for all of us.
