The second episode (to the best of our research) of The Dojo’s Cigar Brand Stock Market segment aired on Friday, February 5th, 2016, featuring Abe Dababneh of Smoke Inn as the solo guest panelist.
The Cigar Brand Stock Market is a segment on Cigar Dojo’s Smoke Night LIVE show, where we attempt to boil down sentiment on a variety of cigar brands/companies by asking a panel of cigar enthusiasts the hypothetical question: “Would you buy, hold, or sell stock in brand/company X?” We feel that the results tell an interesting narrative as to the perception of a company/brand’s current direction. When multiple segments of the show are lined up, the highs and lows of a given company/brand may offer even more revealing trends.
