Today I sit down with Cody Mobley of Kentucky Gentlemen Cigars! His family has been in the tobacco and cigar business in one way or another for around 100 years! They have a dozen/s of blends and lines of premium cigars and are the makers of the Bourbon Cigar Lineup! Their families have grown, cured and created warehouse distribution for burley tobacco since the beginning. For over 150 years, The Mobley, DeVary, and Jackson Families have seen the once fertile burley tobacco crops slowly fade into the hands of large global corporations and overseas markets. Today, the same ambition, hard work and determination once used to supply locally-grown tobacco to others is being gathered and nurtured with other premium blends to create a world class line of fine cigars. With the help of local Kentuckians both in tobacco production and as newly trained cigar rollers, a once slowing tobacco supply market to the cigarette companies is now considered a vibrant opportunity in the very popular global cigar market.  Show Sponsors:  Small Batch Cigar .com use the code "dogsofwar" for a 10% discount and free shipping at checkout.  OC Raw Dog food company!
