Dean Parsons — Owner of Epic Cigars

At Smoke Master Cigars, we had the pleasure of hosting Dean, the owner of Epic Cigars, for an insightful podcast episode. We delved into the competitive pricing of Epic Cigars, the meticulous process of cigar creation, and exciting future projects. Here’s a glimpse into our engaging discussion.

Maintaining Competitive Pricing

One of the standout features of Epic Cigars is their ability to maintain competitive pricing without compromising on quality. Dean shared that Epic Cigars achieves this by sourcing tobacco efficiently and sharing resources with other companies. Interestingly, Epic Cigars makes lower margins on their products in Canada compared to the US due to high taxation and customs duties. This strategic decision ensures that customers can enjoy premium cigars at an affordable price.

The Craftsmanship Behind Epic Cigars

Our conversation with Dean also shed light on the intricate process of creating Epic cigars, particularly the Maduro line. Dean explained that the journey begins with selecting the perfect wrapper, followed by experimenting with different filler and binder combinations. This process can take anywhere from six months to a year. The Epic Maduro, for instance, features a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper and a Cameroon binder, highlighting the blend’s complexity and quality.

Upcoming Projects and Collaborations

Dean hinted at exciting projects in the pipeline, including new blends and collaborations. Within the next three to six months, Epic Cigars plans to launch a new cigar that has been in the making for almost a year. This upcoming release promises to be a special addition to their lineup, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality and innovation.

Beyond Cigars: Embracing a Lifestyle

Epic Cigars is not just a brand; it’s becoming a lifestyle. Dean discussed various collaborations that extend beyond cigars, such as partnerships with Stogies and Doggies, Happy Dad, and Dugout Mugs. These collaborations not only expand Epic’s global presence but also resonate with a broader audience, including younger generations. The brand’s involvement in events and charitable initiatives further underscores its commitment to community and lifestyle.

Our podcast with Dean from Epic Cigars provided valuable insights into the brand’s philosophy, craftsmanship, and future endeavors. Whether you’re a seasoned cigar aficionado or new to the world of cigars, there’s always something new to learn and enjoy with Epic Cigars.
