In this week’s interview Paul sits down with Matthew Monte, formerly of Monte’s Cigar Shop in Albuquerque. The business was a family enterprise. Paul and Matt have worked together over the years on issues in the Legislature (tobacco and otherwise). Monte recently told Paul that he had sold his shop and was leaving New Mexico and heading to Fort Worth, Texas where he plans to start a “state of the art” tobacco shop. Monte and Paul discuss New Mexico’s difficult business climate and the challenges facing his business due to policies of the City of Albuquerque. Check this important conversation out!
