August and September are exciting months because we have some fantastic events coming up that we want to share with you.   Martin Patrick Fashion Show, Doug Hennes Herf, and Cigars and Baseball!

Summer is in full swing and we have had some really unique and exciting events since we last connected.    We made a stop out to the Chateau St. Croix Winery and did an event that featured our cigars and our wine.   If you haven't heard about our award winning wine or port, definitely check it out here.  https://www.chateaustcroix.com/wines h...

We received a question on how we create the unique "Marco V" flavor that is common within our blends. The answer is in the blending of the unique tobaccos. We take a lot pride in how we create our unique blends. It all starts by using the best grade A tobacco from the best tobacco growing regions in the world.

Here were the key highlights for Marco V in 2021:

• We launched our first new collection in 10 years called the Privato
• The Black Sapphire and Dieci X received 90 ratings from Cigar Insider
• The Black Sapphire received a 90 rating from Cigar Aficionado
• Our Marco V Red premium wine went into full production
• We reinvested in our core Classico collection by expanding our proprietary aging process
• Our business grew for the 12th year in a row despite massive macro and micro economic headwinds

As we reflect on the year and look forward to the last 3 months of 2021, I am proud of the way Marco V has established its presence as a staple in cigar enthusiast's humidors. The cross section of quality and value for Marco V Cigars is unrivaled in the cigar industry. We are able to do this through vertical integration which essentially means that we control the supply chain from seed to smoke. This is important to us as we can monitor the quality at every step and make sure everything is done right.

Last month was a big milestone for Marco V Cigars.   We not only qualified for a rating with Cigar Aficionado (which requires 200 brick and mortar retailers nationally carrying your cigar) but received two 90 ratings!   The 90 rating falls within the Cigar Aficionado scale of "Outstanding".  

It has been a blessing to get back to doing events again. That personal connection and being able to talk about cigars face to face is second to none. This past month we were in Boston, Chicago, Wisconsin, Las Vegas and of course our home state of Minnesota.

Here is a list of our upcoming Marco V events for the next month:

Cigars and Baseball is Minnesota's largest cigar party and Marco V Cigars have been at this event since its inception.  It is a great event that benefits the Miracle League.
