    Loved the inside story of Nick’s efforts to get his paper out. Considering the fire and all that Jeff has been through, I would like to hear his story.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ask the Pulpit: Taking Lemonade Reviews to the Next Level
Q: What changes could be made to lemonade reviews to quantify them more objectively?
Listeners proposed adding structured categories (bitterness, sweetness, texture, sugar content, availability, price, packaging) rated on a 1-5 scale, with a weighted scoring method to create a numerical overall score.
The Cigar Industry of the Future with LFD's Litto Gomez Jr. Part Two
Q: Fifteen years from now, what do you hope consumers are experiencing when they smoke an LFD cigar?
I hope they feel that the product remains consistent, is associated with a family-owned ethos, and offers meaning beyond just the smoke; they should sense individuality, quality, and a connection to a legacy that respects both retailers and consumers.
Direct to Consumer, Marketing Budgets, and more
Q: What do you think about the-direct-to-consumer model for cigars and its impact on retailers?
It could be disruptive, but without maintaining brick-and-mortar relationships, brands risk losing consumer hype and education that retailers provide; a balanced approach is essential.
The Danger of a Forgettable Cigar
Q: Will I remember that cigar?
Will I remember the notes? Will I remember the experience?
The Danger of a Forgettable Cigar
Q: Would I choose this if I only had one cigar tonight?
