Just listened to the first half hour. Pretty interesting. Makes me very happy I bought the cigars that I bought way back when.

May have to get some of what they were talking about. Not an LE and hopefully readily available later on.

I watched the first 3 parts last night. (3 of 4) Kind of interesting stuff. Pete talked a lot about the lies (ok...untruths) being spewed out there by certain cigar manufacturers about what's in their cigars, the aging, etc., etc.. He didn't name names, which I thought was smart. Talked some about reviews and tainted reviews, etc. Made me think about a thread that was up here recently {that I was involved in} about CA and their reviews, etc. One of the guys here was buying into what they said, hook, line & sinker. Pete kind of eluded to how some of that works and says he's not afraid to call "bullchiit" on it/them when stuff like that happens.

I can see why many average joe's like the guy so much. He appears to be a staight up kind a guy that really cares about the cigar industry and being true to the old tradition.

I couldn't sleep last night either...so I listened/watched as well.

Pete was hung up a bit on the "truths" and the the guy interviewing him (can't recall his name) said "well, you haven't put out a late harvest yet" So I think that alluded to whom he might be talking about. Anyone who claims multiple fermentation as well...I'm not sure who that was referencing?

The thing most people won't see is part 4...where they suggest that a blogger should become country specific to gain niche/expert status. If I had a blog, I would do it tomorrow! GREAT idea!

Similar to me working only in cigar art. I can do anything, but I like the small niche market and I'm trying to lock in as THE cigar artist...ya know.

Anyway, it was a good interview, but VERY long!

When I saw it was 4 parts and almost 2 hours long I figured I would only listen to the first part, it was VERY interesting and I ended up watching all 4 over 2 days... Defiantly worth your time..

LOL not really surprising about the Late Harvest comment. If you werent aware of the rivalry if you do a google search for late harvest it will bring up who does those cigars. It was interesting how he was talking about the fermentation process and that there is no triple fermented tobacco its just steps in the process and tobacco is either fermented or not fermented. You can google triple fermented tobacco and a lot of cigars claim to have it.

Exactly!

He seems like a really down to earth kinda guy, I like that he keeps to the old traditions and that he doesnt have a big head.

Just watched part 4. Liked this one the best. Great info, although if you don't watch the first 3, some of it probably won't make sense.
