IPCPR 2012 Cigar Conversation with Brian Chinnock of Chinnock Cellars
Channel: William Cooper
Date: 25/08/2012

In this cigar conversation, I talk with Brian Chinnock of Chinnock Cellars.  Brian is both a winemaker and cigar maker from California.   In addition to being a master a pairing both worlds, Brian has taken it a step further by bringing together the technology of both industries.

Brian takes us through his line of cigars, and how he has incorporated technology from the wine industry.  He starts out discussing the Estate Blend, and then takes us through the Terroir Series.  The Terroir Series uses a unique metal band that has been done in a way that no one else has done before.

In our discussion on industry trends, Brian talks about the role and place of the boutique cigar maker in the brick and mortar shops.
