Smoke Night LIVE - Cigar Dojo

It’s one of the biggest shows of the year, as we induct five more members into the Dojo Hall of Fame. Each and every year we recognize a group of Dojo members who have gone above and beyond to support the Cigar Dojo community, either through tireless participation or by other means. Tune in this week to see who joins this very prestigious class.

Juan Martínez, Executive President of Joya de Nicaragua, is our guest. We will be discussing the 2nd consecutive year that Joya blew away the cigar industry with incredible releases, including the Número Uno, which was the Dojo’s number 1 cigar of 2019. We will also catch up with how things are going in Nicaragua during these difficult times.

It's time for another “Klaas is in Session” on Smoke Night LIVE. Klaas Kelner, Senior Brand Ambassador from Davidoff, joins us for a special edition of Smoke Night LIVE. We will get the 10 best questions from the Cigar Dojo community and pose them to Klaas live on the show.

Will the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) trade show happen this summer? And if so, what will it be like? We answer all these questions and much much more.
