Spring 2010

Other articles in the 2010 Spring issue look at tobacco cultivation in Colombia, the rise of Nicaragua as a cigar country and the first cigar festival in this Central American country. In Collector’s Corner, Colin Ganley looks in detail at the topic of fake luxury-class cigars. Marc André discusses storage mistakes when air humidity in the humidor is too high. A visit to New Zealand gave us an idea of what strange effects rigid tobacco regulation laws can produce.
