They discuss the different types of port, including Tawny Port and ruby port. They share their experiences visiting various cigar lounges and the sense of camaraderie they have found in the cigar community. They emphasize the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences with others in both the cybersecurity and cigar worlds. There are various cigar lounges in different cities, such as the JC Newman Lounge in Las Vegas and the Davidoff Lounge in Vegas. Repairing damaged cigars can be done using pectin or by replacing the wrapper. Ventilation and air purifiers are important for smoking indoors and removing smoke odor. Attending the PCA conference in New Orleans is a possibility, but media support in the cigar industry is limited. Consideration is given to doing a live event from New Orleans and attending other conferences in an RV. -

Privada Cigar Club was founded in 2017 by Brian and Ofelia Desind. It is an Orlando, Florida based premium cigar company that began with a monthly subscription model before branching into other forms of premium cigar retail. Privada Cigar Club remains the only truly RARE cigar of the month club and has since become legendary with over 18,000 monthly subscribers. In July 2020, Privada Cigar Club introduced a new venture called Limited Cigars Association, or LCA, which is the company’s initiative to revive brick and mortar premium cigars shops throughout the United States by sharing limited quantities of popular products on a monthly basis. Each shop in the LCA receives a small quantity of the featured cigar that is then advertised across Privada Cigar Club’s social media channels. The quantities typically sell out quickly.
