The documentary Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain has been released. Director Morgan Neville assembled together a playlist of music he found from Bourdain’s books, interviews, social media, and more. Tonight, we take a look at that music and how it ties back to the life and times of the late Anthony Bourdain. We’ll be joined by RoMa Craft Tobac’s Skip Martin and John McTavish of Developing Palates. We will also pay homage to the late Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, Joey Jordison of Slipknot, and Dennis Thomas from Kool & The Gang. For this show, Skip smokes the Casa Torres 20 Anos Gran Robusto, John smokes the Baka Hunter Gatherer, Dave smokes the Neanderthal C3, and Coop smokes the Neanderthal GD.

It has become a tradition with the Cigar Coop Coalition coverage that on the morning of Day 4 of the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) we will have our visit with Steve Saka of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust. Saka is always generous with his time, and the visit becomes so much more than a recap of his new products. It mixes in a mini-recap of the trade show, a bit of the state of the industry, a bit of the state of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, and lots of other pearls of wisdom both related to cigars and not related to cigars. It has customarily been our longest interview of the Trade Show and 2022 was no exception.  Therefore, in this PCA Report, we present 33 Minutes with Steve Saka. As for the products, while some might say this was a quiet year for Saka as most of the products showcased were limited production, in a way there is no quiet year for Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust.

From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Reinier Lorenzo of HVC Cigars. Reinier Lorenzo's HVC Cigars is a company that has quietly gone from one of the best kept secrets to one of the hottest small companies in the premium cigar business. Because for a while it was a company that flew under the radar, many were surprised that 2021 marks HVC's tenth anniversary. At this year's trade show the company introduced a distinct cigar that features a special tobacco to mark the occasion. Meanwhile, HVC also introduced a line extension to its Hot Cake line called Gran Cañon - marking HVC's first 60-ring gauge cigar. References PCA 2021 Report: HVC Cigars: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-kTA
