This week the Stogie Geeks discuss the New Plan for big events and shows. As we start month 11 now since the start of C-19, business has to move on as best it can. Like we said in March of 2020, things will change and not go back. 2021 will be the time for new formats and more online/ virtual experiences for all. Joe and Drew will break it down, and the number of chicken wings consumed on Super Bowl Sunday is expected to hit a record 1.4B, according to the National Chicken Council. Put Joe down for 29 how many will Drew have?

This week, Drew and Joe interview Pat, Founder of Pardo Cigar. Pardo Cigar was founded in 2019 and brings high quality and affordable cigar accessories to fellow cigar enthusiasts. The founder, Pat, was having difficulty finding the balance between price and quality for cigar accessories. There were low-end cigar accessories to toss in your golf bag and high-end expensive cigar accessories, that were more like showpieces. He was on the hunt for affordability without sacrificing quality, and he had a feeling he was not alone. This led him to create Pardo Cigar.
