As they weren't offering to pay for it

Thank you for taking the time to share that with us. This 👆🏼 is disconcerting and unfortunately, not surprising. Good on you, Alex.

Updated Alex!!!!

you get 10% of the net!*

*10% after all costs inclusive of lifestyle costs of Rob Ayala. Confidentiality agreement in place so Ken has no idea he is not being paid.

It's no surprise to me that two of the most polarizing figures that have infiltrated the cigar industry have created a masterclass. The other being Brian Desind of Privada Cigar Club (I'd personally argue that guy has done far more damage to the cigar world than Kirby ever will). I'm no follower of Privada but his course looks to be free with the lure of gaining more members to his group by the end.

As for Kirby, the only thing I have to admit I'd be intrigued by is really diving into the process of the agricultural aspects of cigars as well as the blending process with Klaas. Bias aside, I think it would be fascinating. Granted, there's plenty of free content covering that already available so my own sole argument is already shot down lol. 

Don't you guys miss the days when the biggest drama in the cigar world was everyone coming out with a 60 ring gauge plus cigar? Ego left unchecked is a dangerous thing.

I totally agree with your take on Brian Desind! Total Grifter.
