Then what about Ernesto Perez-Carillo leaving the company, that his father founded and is now owned by General Cigar, to start a new company with his son and daughter. Anyone hearing anything or have any ideas as to what we might expect from Ernesto in the future?

The new Miami made cigar is the bomb. Ernesto will tell you that the other la Glorias are not his cigars anymore they are General Cigars. Once when he starts making cigars again for himself, he will again be looked at as one of the best cigar blenders in the business.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't that cigar be staying with LGC/General?

EDIT: How does it compare to any of his other offerings?

That is right.
And I'm sure it won't be the same cigar when that happens.

I think when his son died in August while he was on the CRA event tour it changed the future of the company. It happened the night before the Orlando stop.
