In this cigar conversation, I have the opportunity to talk to Antonio Lam of Reinado Cigars.

Antonio is definitely a rising star in the industry.  His core line has gotten many accolades, and it appears his new blend, the Grand Empire Reserve is poised to do big things.  In this video, Antonio walks us through his core line of Nicaraguan puros.  He discusses why his unique fermentation process is a differentiator for his blend.

Antonio then introduces us to the new Reinado Grand Empire Reserve, a new box-press that was launched at the trade show.  Antonio takes us through some of the architecture of the blend, and discusses some possibilities for line extensions.

Finally, in our industry trends segment, Antonio looks at the ring gauges - both big and small.
