Prime Time Special Edition 74: Ram Rodriguez, El Artista

On Special Edition #74, Ram Rodriguez of El Artista joins us on the Special Edition side of the house.

El Artista is a factory best known for making a cigar for David “Big Papi” Ortiz, but its a factory that is known for making other brands. We will dive into all of those things and a whole lot more.

In addition, Bear and I revisit the Tabernacle CT 142 in our second round of the Aging Experiment on that cigar. Finally, we discuss the new operational procedures being implemented because of the COVID-19 pandemic by The Venetian Hotel. The Sands Expo Center is a part of the Venetian property and these procedures will undoubtedly will impact the 2020 PCA Trade Show. We'll take a closer look at these procedures and discuss what it means for the cigar industry.
