Membership in CRA adds your voice to the fight against tax increases and smoking bans. Members receive real-time updates on pending cigar legislation and have access to tools that allow them to affectively advocate for their rights as premium cigar enthusiasts.

THE REBIRTH OF CIGARS
The Drew Estate story is one of daring, heartbreak & success but, most of all, one of passion for cigars and the country of Nicaragua, where we have been making cigars since 1998.
Jonathan Drew & Marvin Samel are not your average cigar makers, their story does not start in Cuba, or with fathers in the cigar business. It started with a dream, and through their can-do spirit and never-say-die attitude made Drew Estate one of the premier cigar manufacturers on the planet. The two frat brothers from New York started out small…. Small, as in a 16 square foot retail kiosk in the World Trade Center in NYC.
The early days were fraught with peril, you’d think these two frat brothers went to the school of hard knocks. Picking themselves up, dusting themselves off and never backing down would become a trademark in the years to come for them & their fledgling cigar company, Drew Estate.

HALFWHEEL
My name is Kevin Shahan, and a lot of you may know me as the owner of Irish beard balm.
Like most important tools in life, the Cigar Prop was born from necessity. I was fooling around in my workshop while enjoying a nice Camacho cigar, as I’m wont to do.
I faced a major problem: continually having to lay my delicious cigar down on a filthy work surface. You might be thinking, “Well, why don’t you clean up your workspace?” The problem is that I’m constantly finding myself in places where I’m either having to use a dirty ashtray or worse.
So I took some scrap aluminum and made a little cigar rest. When I took it to my local cigar bar, The Tobacco Locker in Port Charlotte, Florida, a few guys loved them and wanted one. So I made a few.
Then more guys wanted them. And then more, and more and more. So, here we are today. I want to ensure you never have to lay down your cigar on a dirty surface again.
I hope you enjoy your cigar prop as much as I enjoy making them for you.
And remember to make sure you give your cigars the props they deserve.

halfwheel.com launched Jan. 1, 2012. Its content includes the archives of TheCigarFeed.com and SmokingStogie.com, sites perviously published by co-founders Charlie Minato and Brooks Whittington. It combined the obsessive industry news coverage of TheCigarFeed and the in-depth reviews of SmokingStogie into a singular place for those passionate about cigars.
From the first day, we made it clear halfwheel was going to be a different kind of cigar blog. This is not a fly-by-night operation (we have an office), this is not a hobby (some of us do this full-time), this is not our first time (we have worked for newspapers, radio stations, magazines and more) and this is not just another cigar blog.
Cigar blogs have gotten a bad rap, largely because there’s never been a full-time, professional and committed effort. Combined, we visit dozens of factories every year in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and more. We cover more than just IPCPR—we have attended Inter-tabac, NATO, Tobacco Plus and large cigar festivals.

Contact (Cigar Coop): coop@cigar-coop.com
Cigar Coop was founded in 2010 by Will Cooper. It was originally designed to be short-term chronicling of the 2010 IPCPR Trade Show. A decision was made to make it a on-going periodical where cigar reviews and later cigar news became the focus.
In August 2013, we formed a partnership with Stogie Geeks, a podcast for cigar enthusiasts. During this time we shared a common infrastructure for our web-sites and common business operations. We also featured integrated content.
In January 2017, we ended our partnership with Stogie Geeks and returned to an independent operation – now with our own IT infrastructure and business operations. Subsequently we launched two new podcasts, the Prime Time Show and Prime Time Special Edition.

Zeal Cigars is a Veteran Owned/Operated family run cigar shop in the middle of North Phoenix. Len Reith (Owner/Operator) is a combat veteran who fought bravely in Vietnam and landed with the first Marines to hit the beaches in the Vietnam War. After the War Len came back to his hometown of Cincinnati OH where he later met his wife Vida who gave birth to their first born son Bradley.
Bradley was quite a handful growing up. Always into trouble and looking to stir the pot. Both Len and Vida knew that Bradley would one day be destined to do something great with his life. Bradley would say that day came on Dec 29th 1989 7:36pm when he gave his life to Christ and has been walking with him unashamed since. Bradley would later serve God as a full time pastor for about 20 years until he retired from ministry in 2015 and stepped into the cigar industry full-time.
Bradley now is what Len would call “at the con” of Zeal Cigars and works tirelessly to bring their customers some of the best value that the cigar industry has to offer. You can find Bradley working on his computer, in the retail shop, and making more crazy cigar videos M-Fri 11am-7pm at Zeal Cigars retail location located at 15802 N Cave Creek Rd Suite #2 PHX AZ 85032.

THE STORY OF ROCKY PATEL
In an industry built on name recognition and reputation, Rocky Patel’s passion has brought his luxury brand to heights unseen by most boutique cigar manufacturers. His hard work and long hours have been paying off in big ways. A survivor of the cigar boom, Patel has outlasted his competition with unrivaled persistence on his quest for perfection. With a grueling travel schedule, office responsibilities and production, Rocky still maintains the enthusiasm that he has had since day one. As he travels the world, putting his cigars in the mouths of his consumers, his passion extends beyond the retailer, allowing his customers the experience of meeting the man behind their favorite smokes. Rocky Patel has created a company that outshines even those created by multimillion dollar corporations, and he’s doing it one customer at a time.
ABOUT PERDOMO
Our story traces its roots to San Jose de las Lajas, Cuba, an agricultural and industrial municipality located 27 kilometers southeast of Havana, where Silvio Perdomo was raised. He apprenticed first at Cuesta y Cia. in the early 1930’s before leaving to practice his art at the H. Upmann factory from 1937 to 1945; and at the famed Partagas factory until 1959.
It is also where his son, Nick Perdomo, Sr. was born and began his apprenticeship in 1948 at the Marin & Trujillo factory before earning accolades for his craftsmanship and making his own way to join his father at Partagas. “Things were going so well then, my father and I were just beginning to establish ourselves and obtain recognition for our work,” said Nick, Sr., an imposing wrecking ball of a man with a soft voice and a heart as big as his frame. “But then Castro destroyed everything – our country, our lives and our freedom.”
A quiet and peaceful man steadfastly opposed to Castro and the communist revolution, Silvio Perdomo was soon arrested in his own home and quickly tried and incarcerated in the notorious Isle of Pines prison where he endured his harshest treatment. Three years later he was transferred to La Cabana, a murky 18th century fortress overlooking Havana Bay. For the next 12 excruciating years, Silvio suffered through squalid conditions, torture and near-starvation at La Cabana and four other Cuban prisons.

Rock-A-Feller Cigars
The inspiration behind the Rock-A-Feller® was to produce a cigar that is an affordable luxury — a quality product accessible to all men and women, regardless of their socio-economic status. Together they created a cigar that was inspired by the tradition of American entrepreneurism. The Rock-A-Feller is a symbol of perseverance in the face of adversity, and stands as a testament to the hard work ethic of the Americans whose indomitable spirit pulled us out of the Great Depression. Blended and rolled in the Dominican Republic by men steeped in the culture of making fine hand-rolled cigars, the Rock-A-Feller is the culmination of generations of experience in premium cigars. It is an outstanding smoke, guaranteed to please the palate of even the most distinguished connoisseur, recently called by Cigar Insider a true “wallet-friendly cigar”.

Ore Premium Cigars founder, Trey Ore, was raised in Virginia Beach where he learned that if you do something you love, you will never work a day in your life. Years ago, while in the Caribbean, he was offered his very first, high-end cigar, and from that moment on...Trey was hooked.
"There's something about a good cigar that allows you to take time to be in the moment. You can't rush a great cigar. The moment you light it, you have decided to enjoy the next hour."
We have the saying at Ore Cigars "WHY NOT?" There are so many cigar options in the world. "WHY NOT" give ours a try? Our cigars are a Dominican and Nicaragua blend, hand-rolled in the United States by a former Master Roller under Padron in Cuba.
Give Us a Try....WHY NOT?
