UberLuxury cigars are a new segment of premium cigars created by Jeremiah Meerapfel. His family's legendary Meerapfel Cameroon tobacco is touted as the most exclusive wrapper in the world. This fifth generation cigar man talks how his family evolved cigar smokers beyond Cubans toward New World Cigars (AKA cigars originating from any country that isn't Cuba!). Meerapfel and Boveda's Drew Emmer talk cigars and Boveda at PCA 2024, the preeminent event for premium cigar and pipe industry.
