Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studio, Nick is joined by Mike Brinker to discuss the news that the PCA Trade Show is considering coming to St. Louis in 2030. However, there has been some resistance to the idea from a few manufacturers and possible attendees. Both being from the STL area, the guys figure they need to stick up a bit for their region and discuss some of the reasons why bringing PCA to STL may be a good idea. And they go over some of the various highlights the city has to offer in terms of food, cigar shops, entertainment, and more.
They are fair about it though and also discuss some of the things STL needs to do to prepare for a convention like this and get the city back on its feet in general.
From there, learn what they've been watching lately in the Villiger Cigars Entertainment Report.
And it's Tuesday, so Nick reviews a new Lemonade!
