Leadership of the Leaf

1 Aug 2024

Legacy cigar brands are culturally significant due to their historical ties, embodying traditions and craftsmanship passed down through generations. Renowned for their consistency and high-quality tobacco, they symbolize social rituals and traditions, often gaining value as collectibles. These brands also influence industry standards, shaping trends and preserving traditional methods in the evolving cigar market. Legacy cigar brands, such as Arturo Fuente, Ashton, Cohiba, and Davidoff of Geneva, have gained their status due to long histories, family ownership, quality craftsmanship, and sustainable practices. Each brand has a unique story, often involving multi-generational family businesses and significant contributions to cigar culture, like the development of new tobacco curing techniques or the creation of iconic blends. This episode will only skim the surface of 17 different legacy brands.

Austin and Dice are smoking a Founders Roosevelt Maduro New Blend and they will talk about the characteristics and flavor thirds of this blend within the Founders cigar lineup.

The 5 Whys is a problem-solving technique that identifies the root cause of an issue by repeatedly asking "Why?" five times, developed by Sakichi Toyoda for the Toyota Production System. The method involves stating the problem, asking "Why?" for each answer, and implementing corrective measures once the root cause is found. It is simple, effective, and widely used in various industries for quality control and continuous improvement, though it may not always reach the true root cause for complex issues.

Sit back and enjoy a legacy brand cigar and don’t worry about solving any problems. Grab a tasty beverage and listen to another great episode of cigar talk and leadership knowledge.
