Re: starting my own brand of cigars
I did something like this, and I stress the SOMETHING like this for one of our troop support liasons in a helicopter wing,
you might remember "Comanchero"...I designed a band for him and simply re-banded some cheap General cigar stuff and some JR alternatives, whatever I could get at a deep discount. By the time he left the theater, I had created a whole line of different cigars with the same basic band but a 'cigar name' on it, "War Horse" was a giant cigar that came in a glass tube, I have forgotten all the others...it was a hoot for him, having his own brand to hand out to people complete with the squadron logo worked into the band. And I made sure to tell him which cigars were basically crap and which ones were likely to be good or have repeatable flavor results. IT WAS LIKE having your own brand for all he cared. Selling em in stores, eh, totally different thing I guess. |

Re: starting my own brand of cigars
I think what he was trying to say is that he has a dream of one day rolling his own cigars and selling it locally. I assume he might not be aware or maybe he is aware that its not so simple legally he just wanted to see every ones reaction. I think I did see a thread in here onece discussing rolling your own. They where buying tobacco leaves and the box presses and everything. But rolling your own for retail is a whole different level. I don't think its like a lemonade stand or cup cake sale were people will just order.
I do have to say that I do know of one place in Brunswick NJ that has a roller in the shop which I find amazing in 2012 so every time I drive up there, not very often, I drive the few extra miles just to buy a few in house cigars. It didn't cost more and I feel like I'm getting something home made so to speak. |

Confusion and (lack of) punctuation aside, the thread was made and members asked legitimate questions with the intent to help. Questions were read and subsequently ignored.
