Woo hoo - We Got Some Press

[KevinG]

I was interviewed for a local newspaper. Here are some quotes from the aricle.

While the cigar industry as a whole surged in the mid-to-late '90s, that development "brought some negative aspects to the market, such as fly-by-night opportunists pushing bad cigars that were not properly aged," said Kevin Godbee, owner and publisher of Cigar-Review.com

--------------

The pinnacle of cigar consumption was reached in 1964, the year the Surgeon General of the United States first published a report highlighting the health hazards of cigarettes.

In a knee-jerk scramble to find a fix akin to cigarettes, Americans bought almost 9 billion large cigars that year.

Sales gradually tapered off, however, and the comparison of the two tobacco products agitates Godbee to this day.

"It's like comparing Thunderbird to Dom Perignon," he said. "It's a minor frustration we're oftentimes lumped in with all smokers. They're feeding an addiction. This is like a fine wine."

--------------

Continuing with his wine analogy, Godbee said, like grapes, tobacco differs with the soil and climate.

I made a comment with a link back to this site on the bottom of the article. I hope they leave it in.

Although you can read the article in 5 mins or less, and my comments in 25 seconds, I spent over an hour with the guy giving him a ton of info and help, and educating him on cigars.

Very cool Kevin! I like that board he's holding up in that picture, I've been thinking about doing something like that lately. I've got a bunch of bands in a cigar box that I want to do something with...haven't quite decided what yet

That's awesome! Keep spreading the word Kevin.

I prefer the Blazing Saddles reference:

"You use your mouth better than a $20 hooker!"
