Andre Farkas and Viaje Cigars

I was on my way to get some lunch at the latest IPCPR show and I happen to run into Andre from Viaje. I had him on my schedule for later but I figured what the hell I will stop by and say Hi. Well I did get a chance to to sit and chat a bit about his new cigar Fifty|Fifty so I got someone to hold the camera and shoot us talking about his smokes. Sorry for the background noise but it was busy around his booth. Also thanks Andre for giving us an exclusive on your smokes in Knoxville!!! I love the Perfecto 2 so I had to get him to talk about those as well. Hope you enjoy the video even with the horrible background noise. Oh the fifty|fifty will be out around October but we may be able to get a few before then, so stop by the store.

Best of IPCPR Show

We just got back from the show last night and here are some of my top favorite new cigars. These are not in any particular order:

Cuba Aliados Miami blend ( rolled in Miami)
Viaje Fifty/Fifty
Pepin My Father 1922
EP Carrillo ( Ernesto Perez new cigar)
Dions new Nosotros
El Titan Redemption Maduro
Casa Magna Oscuro

I am sure I have forgotten a few but honestly there were so many great cigars that it was hard to remember them all. I am going to let my throat heal and get some taste buds back and come on strong with some reviews of the new cigars in the next few days

IPCPR Show Day 1

Well the first day was very productive for Silo and our customers :). We saw a ton of new products and plan on bringing some into the store. Sorry for the short post but blogging from a trade show with a phone is difficult. So on the cigar side of things Dions new Nosotros were awesome, Pepin has his new My Father 1922 and it was very nice and spicy. Andre from Viaje has a great new cigar called fifty/fifty the cigar was very unique in flavor and one of the best of the show so far. I did some video interviews and hope to have them up by the weekend. Oh and I did sign some Silo exclusive contracts while here, more to come so stay tuned in
