Cigar Conversation: Dan Tiant of Tiant Cigar Group
Channel: William Cooper
Date: 2012-08-27

In this cigar conversation from the 2012 IPCPR, we talk to Dan Tiant of the Tiant Cigar Group.  Dan gives us some background of the Tiant Cigar Group and the two cigars that make up the line, the El Tiante Habano Rosado and the El Tiante Habano Oscuro.

We also get some background how Tiant Cigar Group started to collaborate with the Garcia Family to make their cigars.  Dan was introduced to them through Pete Johnson of Tatuaje Cigars.  At the same time, Don Pepin Garcia and Dan's father Luis Tiant (a true Hall of Fame Major League Pitcher in my book who makes an appearance in this video) also built a friendship through their love of baseball.

In our discussion on industry trends, Dan gives us his perspectives on what is happening in the cigar industry - and talks about the role of social media and the boutiques.   The great news is we hear at the end that there is more great stuff to come from Tiant Cigar Group over the next twelve months
