Think $10K Starts a Cigar Brand? Think Again
Description
In this no-holds-barred episode of Protecting the Legacy, we pull back the curtain on what it really takes to launch and sustain a boutique cigar company. From the romanticized idea of blending cigars in paradise to the cold reality of financial burn rates, inventory costs, and brand building — we’re talking hard numbers and harder truths.
We kick things off by defining what boutique truly means in today’s cigar industry. Then we go deep into the financials — both short term and long term — that separate fantasy from sustainability. Spoiler alert: $10,000 isn’t getting you past the starting line. If you’re not thinking in seven figures, you’re not playing the game.
Whether you’re a dreamer, an investor, or just curious about the behind-the-scenes world of premium cigars, this episode is your wake-up call.
