What cigars would you like to see, and what range of product shall I start with ?

Not sure how to phrase this the right way but asking on a forum how to market a new cigar in 2 of the toughest markets in the world is silly. France and Hong Kong are very tough markets with hardcore cigar aficionados (hence the France and Asia Pacific Regional Habanos). If you don't have the time, the knowledge and the passion, I recommend you forget about it. On the other hand, if you have money you wish to gamble, give it a shot.

All I can say is good luck mate!
