  Sep 25, 202651 minS2

  What does the future look like for premium cigars in the UK? This month on The Tasting Hour, Jason and Gary tackle two big issues facing UK cigar smokers: plain packaging and the tobacco duty increase coming in October. What will the changes mean for cigar lovers, retailers and the premium cigar market — and just how expensive could enjoying a good cigar become? There’s plenty from across the Atlantic too. Jason and Gary chat with José from La Galera Cigars, talking Dominican cigars, tobacco and the story behind the brand, before catching up with Pete from Tatuaje Cigars, one of the best-known names in the modern premium cigar world. Expect cigar industry news, great conversations, strong opinions and, naturally, the usual banter from Jason and Gary. Light up something special, pour yourself a drink and join us for another The Tasting Hour — Smoke, Sip, Savour.
