While this brand has been a rewarding project for seven years, yesterday was the absolute low point of my work at Cigar Coop. Earlier on October 31, I reported that the Courts had ruled against the Cigar Industry’s motion for an injunction and summary judgement in the lawsuit against the FDA. I had reached this […]
This past year, I’ve been chronicling the journey of establishing Cigar Coop as a set of standalone brands on the Editor’s Corner feature. The outpouring of support from the cigar community (manufacturers, brand owners, retailers, and consumers) has been incredible and I cannot thank everyone enough. This month, I wanted to talk about where we […]
This month, we celebrated our seven-year anniversary of Cigar Coop. It’s a milestone that this author is particularly proud of – especially this year as we have essentially built a whole new media company to support the Cigar Coop brands. I’ve mentioned it before. The origins of Cigar Coop go back to coffee. It was […]
Cigar Coop celebrated covering its eighth consecutive IPCPR this year. This month we will publish our 2017 IPCPR Post Game Report from an industry perspective. For this month’s column, I take a look at IPCPR from a personal standpoint. This year was the first time since 2013 that Cigar Coop covered the Trade Show independently. I […]
This year, we have been on a journey of establishing Cigar Coop as a standalone brand and a standalone business. If you have been reading this monthly column, you know I’ve been chronicling this journey and taking you for a ride in the “Pink Cadillac”. This month, I’ll share some thoughts on how this ties in with our IPCPR coverage. The […]
It’s been an exciting and interesting journey for Cigar Coop in 2017 and the month of May was no exception. This year, the Cigar Coop became its own independent entity. We have established a standalone company focusing around our mantra of covering the cigar industry. We’ve chronicled a lot of this journey in the past Editor’s Corner editions. […]
2017 has simply been a major year of change at Cigar Coop – and I could not be more excited. This year, we reverted Cigar Coop back to an independent company. We were once before, but we also weren’t a revenue business at that time either. With that has come all of the changes needed to do […]
The changes continue here at Cigar Coop and I’m very excited about them. I’ll preface this by saying – this is not an April Fools Joke. In addition to being #rumorfree and #teaserfree, we are #aprilfoolsfree (I know, we are no fun!) This past month, announced the Cigar Coop Prime Time Podcast, a podcast that will […]
In my seven years in operation at Cigar Coop, the past 30 days have been perhaps the wildest ever. You have seen some of the announcements during the past month – and there will be one more still to come. First up, we have established strategic partnerships with two major cigar radio outlets – Kiss […]
Seven consecutive years and another Cigar Coop Countdown is in the annals of history. The Countdown Concept began on Cigar Coop back in 2010, our first year in operation. Once the Countdown is over, there always is a sense of relief given the amount of time it takes to pull it off. At the same time, […]
