When Marc V. Keiser wrote the business plan for Marco V Cigars, the big goals were to have our cigars rated by Cigar Insider and have our products available at 100 premium tobacconists around the country. Two years after the launch of the business, we hit 100 retailers and on June 21st 2011 Cigar Insider gave the Marco V Platinum blend a score that fell within the "very good to excellent" category of their rating system. This is for a cigar that retails for $6 no matter what B&M you purchase it from around the country. We are very pleased with this score and believe that is puts proof behind what we have been saying.

Now that we have essentially completed what we call phase I of the business plan, it is time to take Marco V Cigars to the next level. For the first time since launching the business with our three blends, Marco V Cigars will be launching a new blend that, we feel, will be our most popular cigar blend to date. The new blend will be called the Marco V Havana. We can't wait for you to try it. We will be debuting these cigars at this years IPCPR in July.
