When it comes to cigar tradeshows, there are none bigger or better than the IPCPR (International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers).

In terms of new releases and cigar innovation, it’s very clear that each passing year gets better than the last. On a relevant but somber note, the hottest topic of the show was the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and our battle to exempt premium cigars. For those unaware, in the coming months the FDA will make a ruling. One of the many possible implications involves a much more arduous path to market for new blends. In short, let’s enjoy all the new releases while we still can. Last but not least, I’ve only touched on a small portion of what was showcased, but you can rest assured that all your favorites will be available here at Cigar.com!
