Behind The Scenes Cigar Product Photoshoot

I happen to be a big cigar reviewer in my spare time for fun, and I have been successfully merging my two passions for years, shooting commercially for cigar clients ranging from the largest in the world to brand new one-man-band boutiques. I absolutely love any type of product photography but especially anything in the cigar industry! I shot this for my cigar site CigarObsession.com and thought it would be a great cross-post for this site as well, since people may be interested in the technical aspects of the shoot. I go over a bit of the setup and gear and my plan of attack for doing a simple cigar box shot for a brochure.
