Cigar documentary

That sounds like a great idea for an independent documentary. I'd be interested in watching it for sure. I'd also like to see some interviews with the families that grow and produce the cigars. I think it would be great footage to see the land where it all comes from and the heritage involved in family members learning a trade that passes down through the generations as well as the art and skill involved in producing cigars. Good luck with the filming.

If you are interested in going to some conventions, CA's Big Smoke in Vegas is about to happen in november. I'm sure you can get tons of interviews from the leaders/makers of the cigar industry, not to mention the regular joe the cigar lover.

I think this is a great idea, as I think any cigar enthusiast would. I agree with the others on destroying the pairing of cigars and cigarettes. I also think that it would be really interesting to see the farmers and there families and how they are able to survive because of the cigar industry. I think there are lots of great things that could be done with this and I can't wait to see it.

What would be ideal to me (if possible) would be to somehow interview a master blender like DPG or Fernandez or something, they could probably bring some very interesting and compelling points to the table for the benefit of cigars. And I can't imagine they wouldn't admire your efforts to improve the general view of cigar smoking.

I also think that you should bring up the recent (somewhat) success of the Verdadero Organic and how it is the first step towards a future of healthier tobacco.

Two aspects that I'd be interested in seeing...the making of a cigar...and the culture of cigar enthusiasts...before July 2008, I had not an inkling of a clue what an interesting and complicated way of life this is. Frankly I would not be as interested in watching interviews with a bunch of cigar talking heads. I'd rather watch footage and interviews with someone like cabinetmaker making his own humi, as an example. Just my two cents.

I would love to see a short thing done a master roller that formerly rolled in cuba but not rolls in somewhere likes miami and how it's different after leaving cuba.

So basically an interview with Don Pepin.... that'd be cool
