Minnesota gets brought up a lot on this blog. Minnesota is the home of our headquarters and where the majority of our founding retailers are based.

I bring Minnesota up in this blog post because I love this place and wanted to share a few of my favorite boutiques, restaurants, and shops with you that are all based here in Minnesota.

Like Marco V Cigars, these shops are not chains but unique,...

What is the After Dinner Experience?

It starts after an incredibly satisfying meal.

Step 1: Sip a premium Dominican Marco V Dom Espresso/or Coffee from a custom Marco V...

We just returned from Rio De Janerio, Brazil and wanted to share a trip itinerary with you if Brazil is or could be on your vacation radar:

Before we get into the intinery I want to give one piece of advice -- DON'T BELIEVE THE SCARE TACTICS ON THE INTERNET. The hype written on the Internet about crime and lack of safety in Rio is poisonous-- as it is keeping people away from this must see tourist...

Marco V Cigars is launching a new brand. M. VITO. This brand will house size formats such as a robusto, toro, and a lancero to exhibit our beautiful wrappers.

Q: There is a new tab on your website. It is titled the Collection - what is it?

A: The COLLECTION is more of an expression of art than a product extension. Because we are a boutique brand and our products a carefully handcrafted one at a time with the utmost emphasis on quality, we thought it would be inappropriate to use mass manufactured glassware to compliment/ or consume our product.

The...

We are unvieling the newest addition to our Marco V Cigar portfolio which will be available late Spring/early Summer:

In just a few months we will be launching the Marco V Salomon XV. In this line there will be a mild and medium bodied blend. The Salomon is a huge cigar tapered at both ends and finished with a nipple foot. The Salomon is larger than a perfecto and smaller than a diadema, it is a...

"The Marc" is the mark of Marco V Co. It is our symbol that we put on everything... most recognizably on the center of all of our cigars. It looks like an "M" but represents so much more:

The M is esentially a representation of our brand. The 3 points of the M (top left, top right, and middle) display a V but also represents the 3 foundational aspects of our business:

- Guaranteed quality
-...

We at Marco V Cigars are incredibly passionate about increasing the standards of the large gauge cigar category. As the cigar industry continues to become monopolized by huge tobacco conglomerates, the art of the large gauge cigar is dying.

Because large gauge cigars contain more tobacco, companies will do one of three things:

1.) Use cheap, poor quality filler to keep costs down
2.) Charge an arm...

This article was written nearly 10 years ago about the fat cigar trend. We built this brand because we like smoking large gauge cigars and so do our customers. I am not entirely sure it is a trend. They make the argument that large gauge cigars are a novelty cigar or for special occassions. However, we aim to provide cigars that can be for special occassions or a mainstain in your everyday cigar...

After much delay, our Marco V Aged Port will be availabe in February 2010.

Marco V Cigars Co. just returned from a week long trip in South Western Florida. During this visit we went to Estero Island, Naples, Marco Island, Sanibel, and Capitiva. This was a great trip where we met a lot of great people.
