It's amazing. Often, the best cigars are NOT the most popular ones. The world is filled with cigars from cigar makers who really know what they're doing. But for one reason or another people never hear about their cigars. The average cigar lover ends up pursuing projects that are better marketed or already have a large following. During this episode, we'll be diving into those types of projects. Together, we'll look at the under sung heroes of the cigar making world. We'll see who's not getting enough love, and who deserves a little more hype.

WATCH OUT! That next cigar might just be completely over-hyped! The world is filled with more new and limited edition releases than ever before. Some are bold projects it exotic leaf varietals that truly offer something different. Others are just another blend that's over-hyped and over-valued. So how do you tell the difference? These days it can be tough. Fortunately, tonight we'll be figuring it out together. At the Cigars Daily HQ, we're no strangers to what goes on in the cigar world. We'll be looking at some of these projects and learning what makes them the real deal or just another fad.

If a cigar is a king, we call it El Rey. And for a long time around the Cigars Daily LIVE crew, there was only one Rey… until now.

The world of cigars is all about legacy. Cigar making families are constantly working to fine tune their craft, and raise up new generations who can carry the flame.

On tonight's episode, we'll talk about this topic and what it means for cigars long term.
