Tonight's episode of Protecting the Legacy brings together the founding voices of the Boutique Cigar Association — Dr. Gaby Kafie, Armen Caprielian, Rob Loud, and Steve Young, for a powerful roundtable discussion on what truly drives a cigar's success in today's marketplace. Is it the branding? The marketing? The tobacco? The blend? The owner ? The stringent focus on quality ? Together, we unpack the layers behind consumer choice in the humidor and explore the deeper meaning behind the word boutique — a term we've carried with pride for nearly a decade. As curators and advocates for fine boutique cigars, we reflect on how the term has evolved and what it must represent moving forward. This conversation isn't just about cigars, it's about legacy, responsibility, and redefining our role as stewards of the boutique cigar movement. The future holds challenges, but with clarity and purpose, we stand ready to ensure our segment not only survives, but thrives.

In this very special episode of Protecting the Legacy, we're proud to welcome Dwight Atkins and Stephen Wray of Fat Ash Cigar Lounge—hosts of the upcoming My Old Kentucky HERF, happening May 9th & 10th, 2025 at the Boyd Convention & Arts Center in Ashland, Kentucky. This year's HERF promises to be the biggest yet, featuring 25 premium and boutique cigar companies—with many of the owners in attendance—to celebrate the strength, unity, and passion of the cigar community.

Miami Cigar & Company and its long-time strategic partner La Aurora didn't have a lot of new products, but at the same time this still proved to be quite a busy booth. The theme for both Miami Cigar and La Aurora was the families behind the brand - namely Nestor Miranda and the late Fernando León. Also present in the booth were La Aurora Cigars, Ken Hamlin's Arrival Cigars, and Dr Gaby Kafie of Kafie 1901 Cigars. Miami Cigar distributes La Aurora Cigars while La Aurora handles production for Arrival Cigars. We covered La Aurora and Arrival Cigars in separate reports. Dr. Gaby Kafie was not exhibiting or taking orders for any product, but he is in the process of moving his production to the La Aurora factory.
