In this episode, we explore the unique challenges small, family-owned boutique cigar brands face at major trade shows. From navigating exhibitor systems to securing prime booth space, we discuss how these hurdles impact visibility and opportunities for smaller companies and what changes could help create a more inclusive environment for all cigar makers.

All of the comments share by our hosts are designed to create dialogue to improve not only our industry, but also how small companies can navigate the competitive industry of premium cigars.
