Surviving the Cigar Industry

[@TunyaJackson]

I have to say that, this video, I started to jump to another video, due to me evaluating the time. I can get so impatient and want people to get to the point. But, I am glad that I took the time to view the video and its entirety. The helpful hints, lessons learned, testimonies, are invaluable. Thanks to each and everyone of you!!!!

[@PuffSipChat]

Hey Tunya! Thanks for hanging in there with us and watching the whole video. I know how it can be sometimes and I feel the same way. We are getting more to the point with our newer episodes. Appreciate you watching and commenting! 💨🥃💬🔁

6:00 spoke volumes to me!! Sounds like the situation me and my partners had to deal with!! I mean almost to the letter!!! Very informative interview ❤Also shout out to you guys for recognizing Sedrick of Phat Ash cigars. Definitely a worthy mention 💪🏾✊🏾

[@PuffSipChat]

Yes sir! Sedrick is the man! And yes, partnerships can be tricky.

Great interview. I look forward to what Leaf Life and the affiliate companies has in store for the South East Atlanta cigar community and beyond. Three obviously intelligent men engaged in an enlightening conversation....I'm all for it. Great job Gents!!!

[@PuffSipChat]

Thank you GrandKappa! Definitely enjoyed this conversation!

[@Theblackblond]

Thank you all for sharing. People definitely wanted to know.

[@PuffSipChat]

Always good to squash the rumor mill whenever you have the opportunity!

[@eleazarhernandezjr]

Just found you on KZbin. Great interview. Just subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to more videos from you!

[@PuffSipChat]

Welcome aboard Eleazor! And thank you! More content on the way!!!

[@SmokedOutCigarSocialClub]

One of your best episodes. In the begging of starting a podcast and channel. Any advice

[@PuffSipChat]

One of my favorites! As for starting a podcast, I would say, start small (don’t spend a ton of money on fancy equipment) and take the time to learn the business of podcasting unless you just want it to be a hobby. Also make sure you really figure out your niche within a niche, meaning don’t try to be everything to everyone. Find your lane and stay in it. It will payoff long term.

Another banging interview. Leaf Life was one of the best lounges in the A, it is missed! These guys always made me feel like family when I visited their lounge.

[@PuffSipChat]

Right there with you! Miss the Leaf Life!

So much great advice on the simple things of business!

[@PuffSipChat]

No doubt!

[@seanphillthephotosgrimsley2888]

Great conversation

[@PuffSipChat]

Thank you so much Sean!

[@clarksoncares5156]

This was so fun!! I truly enjoyed it. Great convo and glad as men we have made it to a point where we can discuss things we may not all agree with. That’s healthy for our community. Discussion brings clarity and clarity brings connection. We don’t have to like everything but open dialogue brings respect and understanding.

[@PuffSipChat]

Said perfectly brother.. great time with this one!

[@cr8blitz22]

Very good interview,thanks for sharing. You brothers hit a lot of nails on head, especially on clique’s within the cigar industry. I know how it when you earned the right to consider yourself to be a “regular “ at your favorite lounge, you feel like you have some sort of ownership in the flow of things, but botl and sotl must remain open and neutral to newcomers. I got my first cigar from the gentleman who taught me how to play golf ⛳️ … around 1999 and I have been hooked every since. Stay smoky

[@PuffSipChat]

Hey Vondale! Thanks so much for chiming in on this and yes, couldn't agree more! We have to be open and hopefully conversations like this will help others see it the same way.

[@Seven_Sounds]

Great interview! 🔥

[@PuffSipChat]

Thanks Dee Gee! This was a fun one!

Thanks Joey! We got you in our raffle for the humidor!

[@Legendary9612]

Have things changed since this interview dropped? I’ll be in the A later this summer. Where should I drop my dimes? I don’t need the hype, I need the culture.

[@PuffSipChat]

I believe the message has been sent but a good question for Johnny… will hit him up. Also, when in the A, there are so many great lounges as you probably know but my top 5 are Havana Cigars (downtown), J’s Cigar and Coffee House, Acere Cigars, Smyrna Village Bourbon and Cigars, Life N Times Cigars Ask someone else and you’ll get another top 5 ✊🏿
