Get out your handkerchiefs! A cigar talk to share with your dad or other influential man in your life. In November 2003, Jeremiah Meerapfel's father Richard died suddenly of a heart attack. Richard was heralded with saving Cameroon/Central African wrapper tobacco from extinction in the early 1990s. Jeremiah and his brother Joshua carried on their father's work. In honor of their father, the Meerapfels launched a new cigar category of limited-production UberLuxury cigars. For the rest of us, if you've smoked a cigar with a Cameroon wrapper, Jeremiah has probably touched, farmed, cured, processed and shipped that tobacco. Cigar makers like Meerapfel protect the flavor and character of their hand-rolled cigars with Boveda. Boveda are those brown 2-way humidity packs that you find in cigar boxes. Cigar smokers use Boveda in humidors to make sure the cigars inside stay well-humidified or they can be hard to light, burn to too fast or get moldy. With Boveda in your humidor, you'll get better flavor from a cigar. B
