    I have a story to tell. It's story of becoming a Mega Legend..... In Cigars! First off..... the AUDACITY and BALLS it takes to name your new Cigar Brand "Mega Legend?" My initial reaction was wow, that's a bold name! But then, I had the cigar and I'm not going to lie, it had me at "1st Puff". A incredibly creamy smoke, with a slight pepper hint with some complexities that are hard for my evolving pallet to nail but let's jut say that I could not put it down and enjoyed this stick all the way down to the point at which my fingers could no longer stand the heat! I then commenced to getting to know Jon Bateman and Todd Williamson, the founders of Mega Legend Cigar and quickly learned that they also have the tenacity, the smarts and the passion to live up to their name. Their brand and their smoke is about as consistent as they come and I can't wait to witness the journey;  please join me in congratulating them on their recent launch!Check out the stick and check out the latest Puff, Sip, Chat Episode featuring Mega Legend Cigars!Episode Content00:00 Introducing Jon and Todd01:10 StickMan One Introduction05:00 Knowing the Right People07:00 On their Partnership in Business08:00 What it takes to make your business grow?15:40 How Jon learned about Cigars?20:00 Jon's Family Legacy of Entrepreneurship23: 55 Todd's Journey into leading the Sales and Marketing 27:00 Participating in the 2022 Atlanta Cigar Experience34:00 Making the time and Money InvestmentHelp us to continue to make great content!
