are you going to have a larger company come up with a blend for you and then you will apply your band and have them sold at shops around you?

Good questions! Creating your own blend takes a couple of years....and a decent amount of money

There is a good BOTL here at CA that makes some good custom cigars, in fact he has posted in this thread asking you for some more info. You should let him know what you are thinking as he may have some advice for you.

Who is this you speak of?


Just kidding. I think he was talking about contacting a manufacturer to have his label put on. The amount of money and resources to start your own company is a lot. There are also a lot of taxes involved if you were to sell to a cigar shop.

I agree with you, Rob - to a point.

We have a great many deployed members who are able to communicate effectively and respond to those who are addressing concerns and questions.

I am thinking of starting my own brand of cigar, nothing big, I'll probably just sell to local shops and stuff. I also may sell to some of the guys on the forums, just to see if they are good, or crap. Maybe I will give some away for free as well, we will have to see.

It's pretty bad but hardly unintelligible.

c'mon guys -- a couple commas here and there; a period or two, and it makes perfect sense. There are a great many -- A GREAT MANY -- far less intelligible posts here and on other boards.

I understood the initial posting easily. What I did not understand was its point, nor why he'd seem to think this forum is somehow his Twitter account.

Just my , and worth every penny.

What I do not understand is if he is trying to hire somebody to roll cigars for him or if he wants to try and roll his own. Does he have any experience rolling his own? I know Drew makes it look easy, but it would take tons of practice to reach the level required for a finished product to sale in shops.
