So – unless your living under a rock or new to the cigar world – the initials of IPCPR have been buzzing around the airwaves with little to no remorse. Mostly all those who are in the business (retailers and manufacturers) will be in attendance displaying their new products for the upcoming year. This is also the time of year where sites like myself run around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to either gain a press pass or some foot in the door to this event.

Well, I wont be there. I’m getting married in the middle of October so our funds are appropriated elsewhere. Those who are going – just wait till next year, but for the readers I as well will be sitting at home and work just wishing I was there. Jacob Krell will be at the event and will help us get some coverage of the TBOTLCH as well as some pictures during the event but his main focus will be with Alec Bradley so if your at the convention be sure to stop by and check everything out!

So – I hope those who are able to go have a great time, enjoy every aspect and come home safe and sound. To those who are not going – no worries, I feel the pain. I will update as often as I can with any and all information I get but to be honest, I guarantee I will not have the most extensive coverage out there (hell, not gunna be there!) – but, my flip side. A lot of sites will be smoking the cigars right off the bat and giving you their initial impressions. I hope to try a few of the new products but I will be taking a different approach, I will be letting these rest (as long as I can haha!) in hopes to give you a more relaxed approach to how they will be once they hit shelves. As well, this week (With exception of IPCPR updates) I will not be making any posts – More important things to worry about than random ‘normal’ reviews.

Take it easy,
David
