The Cigar Boom, Recession and New World Cigars with Mitchell Orchant and Scott Vines 

So many great flavorful consistent new world cigars at one third the price of Cuban. Nicaragua Plascencia, Perdomo, Padron. The best cigars in the world now made in Nicaragua.

Love my New World cigars. Always go straight to CGars to buy them - don’t go anywhere else. So well done Mitchell and thank you for the excellent offerings available.

I’m 46 years old & just into my 4th month of thoroughly enjoying cigars. Entertaining & insightful discussion

Mitchell Orchant along with the Sahakians and Lawrence Davis are cigar royalty!

Great interview! 👏 2 legends in the industry!

Fascinating discussion - more like this please.👍

Very interesting conversation from the perspective of an American. I imagine it's what it's like for a firearm enthusiast in the UK to be watching firearm business discussions in the US.

Thanks Mitchell and Scott 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Also enjoyed the Cuatro Cinco. Sensational with a coffee. Got my first one from a tobacconist in Byron Bay, Australia. Went back and got another three.

Michael Scott wow! Next week let’s get David Brent in the mix as well!

These guys tend to know more about who buys cigars and why than most, and I'm genuinely curious as to the ratio of the occasional smoker vs the discernible enthusiast. Probably not easy to know, but they may have an impression based on recurrent customers vs total volume. On the topic of New World vs Cuban: For an enthusiast, I figure cigars are like dinners. You may think lasagne is the best dinner in the world, but you don't want to eat it every day. In fact, you don't want to eat Italian every day, even if you think it's fundamentally better than Tex-Mex. So a cigar doesn't have to be best, it just has to be good and different. I'll leave it to you to define what's Italian and what's Tex-Mex.

I don't smoke but love sitting in the same room as a Cigar smoker

Brilliant

Not true, I am just back from the Puffin rooms, fantastic venue provided by Mr Orchant. Great atmosphere and great company.

It would be nice to know what you’re both smoking.. and drinking. Looked a nice cigar.

What cigar you smoke

That last comment seemed kind of snobbish lol but still great video.

Howdy

Sat panicking watching for that ridiculous band to come off, but guess the damage was done.

appreciate this interview. cheers

That is amazing that the demographic changed to the younger. It will have them trying different regions more so than the older gen.

👍👍

English cigar culture - Money and snobbery. American cigar culture - friendship and relaxation.
