195 New Equipment......why no one has us on their shows?
Episode Summary
Episode 195 of A Cigar Hustler's Podcast opens with Mike and Michael showing off their new multi-camera streaming setup — battery-powered, auto-switching, one-button Facebook Live — which lets them run the whole show commercial-free with no breaks. From there it's the usual shop-floor banter: the Patreon smoke of the week is a Privada Cigar Club release the guys nicknamed the "Champagne Sharpie" (the club literally blacked out a word on the band with a marker), G Fuel energy drink landing in the shop, shop staffing while Chet recovers from a back injury, and a running gripe that nobody in the podcast world — Cigar Dojo, How About That Cigar — has invited them on to talk about their own Bangerang cigar.
The news segment covers Drew Estate shipping the 2021 Undercrown Dojo Dogma Maduro and Sun Grown for Cigar Dojo, with full blend breakdowns (San Andrés maduro wrapper, Connecticut stalk-cut habano binder, Nicaraguan and Brazilian mata fina filler on the Maduro; Ecuadorian Sumatra sun grown on the red band), pricing at $11.20 and $10.75 per stick, and confusion over how the Dojo Dogma differs from the standard Dogma. They also cover Fratello shipping the Arlequin Gordo (6x58, San Andrés wrapper, Ecuadorian habano binder, Peruvian filler, $11), Casa Cuevas' new Patrimonio line blended by Luis Cuevas Jr. and Alec Cuevas in honor of Luis Cuevas Sr. and the family's tobacco history back to Juan Cuevas in 19th-century Cuba, and Davidoff's Vault release of the Siete Oscuro — Eladio Diaz's annual birthday blend, a 6x52 toro with seven tobaccos, rolled in 2016 and finally going on sale October 17.
The back half turns to Florida and general news: Dog the Bounty Hunter bailing on the Brian Laundrie search with a rolled ankle, why Central Florida's love bug season was nearly nonexistent this year (rainfall deficits killing the larvae, per a UF entomologist), Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey's tongue-in-cheek Facebook offer to "return" 770 pounds of seized marijuana to its rightful owner, and a recycled 2016 tabloid story. The episode closes with Shop of the Week and Listener of the Week honors going to Isaac at Stash Smoke Shop, plus stories about a lost TV remote found inside a shoe and a lost pocket knife.

Transcript
That's nice. I mean, three of those would be perfect. Welcome to episode 195 of the Cigar Hustler Podcast. So much to look at now.
Still the number one show on Podbean. It's more for you to look at and less for me to look at. Yes, yes, more work for me, less for you, just the way you like it. That's how I like it.
That's how you like it. It's so small. It'd be easy to take with us. And it doesn't, it's, it's got a four hour battery.
Really? Yeah. So you didn't have to plug it in. I plugged it in because I was playing with it.
I don't want it to be dead for the show. Yeah. Fancy. We have new equipment again, folks.
You too can become part of the podcast family and invest in our show. Put your products in front of hundreds of listeners and viewers. Oh, thousands, sorry, thousands. Hundreds.
Tens. Tens. Tens. Tens.
Maybe a dozen. A dozen listeners. Five or six. Viewers, every episode, we are heard on 12 different podcasts of Artists Weekly all around the world.
com. Also, please make sure to like and subscribe when you watch on YouTube. It helps us cycle to the top of the YouTube logarithm thing when- Like and subscribe, goddammit. Yes, like and subscribe, please.
Yes. Be very helpful for- More likes and more subscribes. Yes. See, you know, what's funny is our normal squad, our normal, like the devoted fans that were commenting and doing the whole thing, they were doing it for a while when it was a- When they got a prize.
Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of hurtful. Well, if it helps any, the porn comments are up.
Oh, yeah, the porn comments? More porn comments on the videos than ever lately. Oh, yeah? Like what?
I don't know, they're in Chinese or something. Oh, Chinese porn. Chinese porn. Oh, so you know exactly what they're saying.
Oh, yeah. " These even have a... I saw one video where a guy was explaining how these work, multiple cameras. I thought you were talking Chinese there for a second.
These even have... These even have so much to do. Oh, my God. Like, wow.
You can set up so it automatically switches from camera to camera. Right. So he was playing with it. He had it every 10 seconds it went.
So what you do is you follow the red light. Right. So you don't know when it switches except that light goes off, this light comes on. So he was doing this, and then he has to do this.
So that was kind of neat. And it's all saved into one place. That's very bougie. And if you went to Facebook Live, it's just I hit a button on the screen here.
I love that. Well, I'm sure there's something else you have to do after you hit the Facebook button. Right. Yeah.
And, uh, so what do we got for, uh, what are we doing for the Patreon? Patreon! We're doing the lovely Champagne Sharpie from the Provada Club, people! You know, it's so funny.
We don't, we don't know what it's called. It's so funny that you call it the Champagne Sharpie. Champagne Sharpie. You know that, so, okay, so the Provada Club, I don't know what happened here, but they took a Sharpie to a word.
Yes, yes, everyone. And I went ahead and I named it on the site, the Champagne Sharpie. Champagne Sharpie. No, but nobody said anything.
They just assume it's the Champagne Charpie. " No problem. That's the Sharpie edition. The Sharpie.
They probably don't understand that it's probably like Sharpay or something. " I wonder what happened there. I don't know, I've tried a bunch of different ways to see it because, you know, sometimes you can get the reflection, you can still see the word. But no, it was one of those blackout.
" Don't cross this out. Right. Man, look at that guy. You know what, that guy don't want these.
Maybe it was our friend. Yeah, maybe. Maybe it was our friend. Maybe it was our friend.
Maybe these are going on a trip later, we don't know. On our favorite rocket ship. So yeah, so let's see what this weighs in at before... And the comparables are, well, we don't do the comparables on this show.
Yeah, we're not talking about that. We don't talk, we don't give you the breakdown of how we feel about the cigar. We don't talk about that on this show. No, that's a completely different show.
If you... No more breaks either with these new cameras. These are actual, legit streaming video cameras. 5 grams.
Oh, that seems a little. 5-ish. Seems a little bit light. Hold on, let me get a piece of paper I threw on the floor.
5. Wow. I've heard good things, though, about this. I have, too.
So. I know. 5-ish. Oh, good.
We didn't sell all of these. Oh, the pumpkins are gone, though. The pumpkins are gone though. Maybe I can take that bougie camera home and use it for...
That one? For porn? For porn. Oh.
If you don't mind the fisheye. I'll fix it. I'm thinking it needs serviced or something. There's gotta be something because it all of a sudden started doing it and then it would...
It's not happy. And it would go off. In the beginning, if you let it run, it would go off. Right.
And then it stopped doing that too. Now it's just, fuck you, I'm just fisheye. Well, you know... It's never been dropped unless somebody didn't say something.
You know, that's very possible. It could have been kicked in somebody... It could have been or something, you know. It's a very expensive camera.
But what's kind of funny... We got a year out of it again. So I wanted to use the camera, like I wanted to get a nicer lens for interviews and stuff like that with Coop and all of them. But you know, what's really kind of on Bear, because I know Coop and Bear both listen to the podcast.
Oh, Bear does too? I know Coop does. I didn't know Bear was... Oh yeah, Bear's all about it.
I love Bear. It's kind of funny... Wizard of the week, Bear! We don't do it yet.
That's making it so good. There we go, Ber Duplice. " No, not a thing. Not Matt, not How About That Cigar, nothing.
Oh, that's right, nobody. It's like, hmm. Well, how about that cigar only has an upper scale, people know. How about that cigar?
But we were on there. You were on there, you've been on there. Oh. You weren't on there?
No, nobody bites me. They're afraid what I'm going to say. You're probably right. I'm the one, they don't know it because I got nothing to lose here, so you know.
The scary part is that it's like, no, no, we'll have you on because you're not. You're the one we can. You're less controversial. Like, oh, okay.
Yep. I might just start a war with somebody. I don't even know. Sounds good to me.
So we got some G fuel in the shop this week. Our new spot. You want us to be the new sponsor? We'd like a nice letter from Michael.
So you know what's really kind of funny? You know, I've heard they like to sponsor podcasts. Yeah, they're big fans. So, what's kind of funny is, I went, the guy who's the rep, he's like, he does Bud Light and all that shit.
Yeah, the beer guy. So, he's like, I guarantee you mentioned to your kids, I'll know exactly what you're talking about. Now, my kid's eight, eight and six. Right.
And I walked in and I said, do you guys ever hear of G Fuel? And they're both like, yeah. Oh, even the younger one. Oh, yeah, oh yeah.
And that's when Jack's- Big on YouTube. Yep, that's when Jack's like, I just want a fridge filled with G Fuel. He's never had it before in his life. It's a little sweeter than, I think, than the bank.
Yeah, it's kind of crazy, but it feels lighter. I don't know. Yeah, I guess, but, I mean, still sugar-free, right, and everything? Yeah.
Yeah, so I had the Wumpa Humpa. Oh, the Wumpa Humpa. I've only had the Fazeberry. The Crash Bandicoot one.
Fazeberry. And now I'm having the Fazeberry. Fazeberry pretty good, man. Interesting.
Interesting. It's interesting. They're tapping into the old man industry now. G Fuel.
It's not the old man, it's the young kids if you're kids. No, I'm saying if we're drinking it. We are not the young kids, I can assure you. I'm not the young kids.
Yeah, I'm definitely, well, hey, I'm a few years away from 40, pal. Oh, this looks terrible in there. Let's move this over here. Yeah, let's move that.
Put that there. Put it back on the floor. Put it back on the floor. I gotta light this cigar.
What did, anything exciting this weekend? No, I mean I had to go to a funeral on Friday, which kind of sucked, and then because of that, I mean it's my fault, I messed it up, I didn't make it in time for Justice's game, the coach, you know, assistant coach. Oh yeah, your coaching job. So they lost.
Because you weren't there? " You know. Yep. All about you, Michael.
Which is nice. Which is nice. We could use our new Halloween ashtray if you'd like. It's a Halloween ashtray if you'd like.
Oh, that's lovely, a little Halloween ashtray. Also from American Property Solutions. And then Saturday. We're the unofficial sponsor of everything Mike and Mike Productions.
Wow. And then Saturday I had to work. What time did you get here? Around 6:30 or so.
Okay. I mean, it's not really work. Right. Let's be honest.
Oh, well, Danielle does everything. She does everything. That's why I don't mind working Saturday night. She does everything.
Right. I mean, I legit just, I sat down and got to hang out and, you know, I handled some paperwork stuff in the back. some paperwork stuff in the back end right stuff that i needed to catch up on which was nice but as far as front end like i've worked another saturday and i have helped out and kind of if somebody walks in or whatever i'll address it but she had it on lock this saturday so i got to hang out with pedro and oh nice and uh the handyman the handyman came up yeah and uh jt came up and i saw he checked in on facebook or whatever yeah so we hung out oh is he is jt a listener Is he the owner of the show? I don't know.
You think he would be as a truck driver? I don't think he does, though. Yeah. I don't think he does.
Fuck that guy. I'll put that to the test. Throw the fuck that guy out there and see if we get a response. You get a response?
Yeah. So yeah, I mean, then Sunday was just kind of football Sunday. You know, I have been working on, we have been doing drills at my house this Sunday. Oh, you're going to work.
Let him do the workouts the boys were doing with you. That's kind of tapered off. That's kind of tapered off right now. I will tell you this, though.
So Jax is going to start with a personal trainer. Somebody's a little more advanced than I am because I'm teaching him things that are good, but they're not necessarily... Someone his age? No, not that.
They're not geared towards his athletics. They're not geared towards his particular sport. It's just kind of weight training. Is it Brady?
You've heard of Tom? Yeah, Tom Brady. You know him? Yeah, I've heard of him.
And his trainer, Alex Guerrero, yeah, they're doing all of it. They were doing all of it. Did you see Boots at the Dolphin game yesterday? I know that he went, but I did not go.
Oh, he was sitting right behind the Brady family, obviously, because there was a photo with two people that had Brady in the back of their shirt. Yeah, it was clearly in the Brady family. " Clearly behind the Brady family. " Over in the corner of the end zone, right behind the Brady's.
Yeah, without question. Yes. Probably his parents, it looked like an older couple. You gotta give it to Tom, though, man.
" I'm sure there wasn't a lot of people there because it was COVID. And I saw a little thing today. So he had his son out during COVID? Yep.
Wow. Two ways to look at that, Michael. I guess so. I guess he really loves his son.
The whole world's dying and I'm going to bring my son to a football game. Yeah, well, he probably kept him safe. I don't think he was in a bubble. I believe it was.
Big bubble. Big bubble. No bubble. And yeah, he did a post about the game yesterday.
He was walking in with his boy. So I'm like, yeah, good for him. Oh, yeah. You should do a post when you walk in from places with your boys, too.
Yeah. They're out of control. Hashtag, look at me, Brady. Hashtag, blah.
Blah? Blah. So, let's get this. So, I went and saw the folks this morning.
Yeah? That's always a lot of fun. How's that, yeah, how's that going? Uh, dad's voice is now starting to slur a little.
Uh-oh. It's just slightly noticeable, but he called me twice this week, and for, you know, no reason, didn't know who I was one time. But you as a son, you pick up on it. Well, it almost sounded like he was drunk.
Right. Right. But you picked up on it. Right.
Even though it was slight. " So he's going to the doctor again. Or is he drinking? Right.
Which he was never a drinker. I mean, if he's sneaking something, God love him, let him go, let him have it, let him have it, I don't know, but she... God knows you do enough drinking for the both of you. Exactly, I mean, you know, just the way it works.
Just the way it works. A lot of stress, Michael, everybody has their outlets. I suppose. But her sister called while I was there, mom's sister called, and she's talking to her, and cigar, they start talking about cigars, and she even, even mom thinks now I own part of this place.
That's nice. Yeah, she's, I don't know, he at least owns half of it by now, I think. You get boots to finance it, you guys just buy it from us, and I'll just come in, I'll come in and hang out with you. I like it, I come in and hang out with you.
No, no, no, you can just, you can have all of this. I do enough work now where I'm not actually running. We work out a number and I'm done, it's fine. No, no, no.
It's fun. No, no, we just buy him a, and you stay. Good luck with that. Yeah, he wants like a million dollars.
Yeah. 2. 2 million dollars, sharks with lasers. I'll listen to the podcast, and you guys are trying to push me out.
Please. He did ask Boots to hear the Patreon last week or the week before. If he was a paying customer, you can have one. You can listen.
That's right. It's a simple $10 a month. I don't know where to stop, because with this camera, we don't have to break. There's no break.
We just roll right through. We just roll right in. Oh, you can check your time and see where we're at. Well, the time's running, obviously.
Yeah, but you know that when you approach somewhere in the 25 to 30 minute round. Right, you need to start the other half. We need to get going into the news, you know. Oh, we made such a big thing last week about shows that don't skip episodes, I ended up skipping the Chet and Palmer shit show last week.
There's nothing you can do about that. No, now, I worked that Wednesday night, so my wife Adrian-- You kept one-- wait, hold on, before you get into it, so he's been down for two weeks, so you figured out how to at least coast through one of them. We had one extra show. Yeah, we had a pad of one, not thinking anyone would ever be out two in a row.
Right, right, so I had arranged for my wife to be on the show, yes, all right, now Wednesday night I closed, which isn't a big deal, because you're still out at eight o'clock, right, she came up about 7:30, give her time to come here, sit down and everything, but I couldn't get Jesse out till 8:40, 8:45. So she'd already been sitting for an hour waiting. I was tired because I was ready, I could have closed the place except for Jesse at seven. Yeah, so it just drags and then drags, and you know, I closed them out.
Last call was in He's at 7:45, and he's still stretching out for another hour. Yeah. But by the time he left, Adrian Benson, make her with that light on, she had got a headache. I was tired.
Oh, yeah, oh. So we ran a 30-minute show, but it wasn't any good. It was terrible. She wasn't feeling it.
I wasn't feeling it. And so it was just unusual. So we skipped last week. You know what you should do?
What? It's the same thing that we did when I was at the beach. What? You, we did a recording, whereas you, you, you fucking call in to Chet.
Yeah. Well, we have something planned for this week where we're actually going to do it at his house. Oh, something, something that we feel is quite, quite funny. Okay.
Yeah. Because he's dead. Right. We're going to take the portable gear and one of the new cameras.
Yeah. And yeah, we're going to do a thing there. That'll be, that'll be hilarious. That's nice.
Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah. What do you think, um, what do you think, when do you think he comes back to work? I guess it all depends on the doctor's appointment this week.
Yeah. What they find out is wrong. Because, I mean, you saw him on the video today for the... He's still laying there.
He's still laying there. And when he moves, it hurts. Yeah. I mean, he came in last week and sat, and it's painful to watch because...
I know. He can't sit like this, so he's, you know, leaning as straight as possible. Right. In the chair still.
I mean, I gotta be honest, what's kind of remarkable is just losing that one, he's a big, he's an important cog of this machine. Oh, right, yeah. And without that cog, there's just so many things that are not rolling, you know what I mean? So, anyways, I mean, aside from that, I obviously hope that he gets better on a personal level sooner than later, but you know.
I think he starts rehab this week too, but the doctor wouldn't do anything last week because he doesn't know exactly what's wrong, yeah. So I don't know how he's going to rehab when they don't know what he's doing either. You know what's really kind of funny, though, if you think about it? If you're an NFL player, you roll your ankle, they know exactly what the fuck happened before you leave the stadium, right?
Oh, right. X-rays, the MRIs, the whole damn thing. They're shooting you up. They're like, okay, we can probably get him back out there next Sunday.
You know what I mean? Or the fourth quarter. Right. Can he finish the game?
Let's start there. Can he finish? Meanwhile, back in the fucking. Back in the real world.
In the real world of the middle class. The end of two, end of two or three weeks, end of the second week, they're still trying to figure out what's wrong. They take a picture, we'll get back to you. They review, they'll get back to you again.
You know, three weeks into it, I'm like, what the fuck's going, you know? Right, even though the orthopedic said, this is what happened at the emergency room. You went in, said you hurt your back, they took some x-rays, gave you pain pills, told you to come see me. Right.
Yeah, he goes, yeah, they don't, they don't do anything there anymore. Yeah, the emergency room is pretty much to make sure that you don't die. Yeah, right, exactly. He goes, x-rays tell you nothing with a back.
" So they just wasted his time. And money, obviously. I mean, he paid for it. Did he?
Do you have to pay that thing? If a big bill comes in, I just don't want to throw it out. I don't know. I'm sure he's on a co-pay thing.
Well, they say medical bills don't affect your credit. Just throw them away! Throw them away. I'm just kidding.
Pay your bills, please, for loving God. Allegedly Hospitals love to stay in business Yeah, that's fine So yeah So we're still hoping for a speedy recovery Yes, we will update you again next week Boots and I are both going to the MRI Oh, that's nice I asked him, I go, you want to get the band together and everybody go Or just me and you? He goes, I don't care, let him come We still don't know what time it's for No, no, I just made him look He goes to paper, it's right over there And I go, okay, just wait till your wife gets home And then all of a sudden he's crawling Trying to get to the paper, and then he got the paper. I love that our vinyl plotter's down, and he has a vinyl plotter, and I was like, "I can do it," and I'm like, "How the fuck are you gonna do it?
" Well, the laptop's right there. That's not the cutter. No, but he can send it from the laptop to the cutter. And then cut it?
I don't know, is it already loaded? I mean, I don't know how that works at that point. See, that's the problem with Chet, is Chet, you know, overpromises. Mike, I don't know, no, no, stop.
You stop it. Right now. I don't want you to die. Don't, don't.
He's crawling across the floor. I gotta get to the plotter. I can do it. I gotta get to the plotter.
I can do this. They need a shirt. Yeah. So.
So weird. Oh, Mark Gordon just texted me that I suck. Oh, wow. How about that?
Just so you know, you suck. Mark Gordon, any particular reason or just generally he sucks? Just so you know, you suck. Well, don't answer now.
We're doing the show. All right, well, we'll just hit some music here. So, I just have some things. Oh, sorry, I was just going to play some old music while you texted Mark Gordon.
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Um, well, you know what you should just tell him? " We have a very light news week, as far as the cigar industry goes. Nothing to report, eh?
Well, there's some, there are very little some, very little, there's some, very little some, very little some, very little some, and then a lot of Florida stories, and then a general news story, which is cycled back around from 2016. It's gone full circle. Yes, it's come back. Well, tell me, Michael, what do you have for news?
You wanna start the news? Let's start the news. We're at 20 minutes? Let's go.
From the four corners of the world, all the cigar industry news you could possibly need. The Cigar Hustler Podcast Report, with Mike Toon. Drew Estate Ships 2021 Undercrown Dojo Dogma releases, Michael. Yeah?
Drew Estate has announced that the 2021 edition of the Undercrown Dojo Dogma Sun Grown and Undercrown Dojo Dogma Maduro are on the way to the Drew Estate Diplomatic We've got retailers as of today. The Undercrown Dojo Dogmo Maduro dates back 2014 when it was released in celebration of the first anniversary of Cigar Dojo. I feel like it's been out already. This is so weird.
This is a re-release for the 2021 version. Ah. From Eric Goodson. An online cigar-centric community.
Its blend is based on the Undercrown Corona Viva. He's never had us on. I think he's been on like a mutual thing with us, but he's never... Oh, you've never been on?
You've never done that? I thought you did it once. I thought once. Did I?
I thought once. We tried to get on that big show, the big show they do every year, the Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Tick Show or whatever it is, but I don't think they did it this year like they normally do. And we canceled that. Because of COVID.
COVID. COVID. Let's see. It uses a Mexican San Andreas Maduro wrapper, Connecticut stock cut and stock cured Habano binder.
With the filler consisting of Nicaraguan Habano and Brazilian Matafina leaves. Steve's is offered in a box press, a 6x56 Toro Gordo Vitola, and packaged in a 10-count wooden box. Aren't they all boxed? Wooden?
Mm-hmm. Oh. What the fuck was that? I don't know.
Apple News Spotlight. Better living. How to break something. Uh, the filler consists in a box.
20 per cigar. Look at that. Now, the Endocrown Dojo Dogma Sun Grown, the red one. The red one.
I don't think we reviewed that very highly. It was first released. I won't give, I won't reveal the information of our reviews on this podcast. I just said I don't think we reviewed it very highly.
September 2020. It was reviewed on our Patreon. Uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra sun-grown wrapper, Connecticut River Valley stalk cut and stalk cured sun-grown habano binder, and a blend of Nicaraguan filler tobacco, including a leaf of what the company describes as Extensibly aged, oh, extensively aged, Lajero, from the Nuevo Cergovia region, along the Nicaraguan border of Honduras, which provides the blend with extra body, the Underground Dogma Sun Growns, packaged in 24 count wooden boxes, again with the wooden boxes, MSRP of 258, which works out to 1075 per cigar, both cigars are made at La Gran Fabrique, that drew a state in Esteli Nicaragua, are limited production, so the company is not disclosed how many are being produced. Oh.
As many as they can sell. As many as they can possibly sell. So, you know, I think that it's funny, we should add to our next press release for our next cigar is something like, as far as like the blend and shit, we should write like… Something about the river, near a river or something. Yeah, we should add.
And then we should, at the end, we should add like, we feel that most manufacturers and brand owners are full of shit anyways, that's why we're not giving you any information. Write that down. Somebody write that down. Write that down.
Okay, now what's the difference between the Dogma Sun Grown and the Dojo Dogma Sun Grown? 'Cause we have Dogma Sun Growns in the humidor, I went and looked. What is the difference? That's what I want to know.
Is it the size? Just 'cause it says Dojo? Maybe it says Dojo. Just 'cause it's the size, let's see what size it is.
If it has an extra band, that adds to the flavor, that's all I could say. See, really? September 2020, Angidoran, Sumatra... It doesn't even say what the size is.
Where's the article from? Half Wheel? This is Half Wheel. Damn it, Charlie.
But he did say what the Underground Dojo Dogma Maduro, he gave it that size. That's the standard, I think they're about the same size. It's a little 6x56, so yeah, so yeah, it's a little, looks like a little fat Robusto almost. Yeah.
A box press. 6x56 is like a Toro. Oh, no, the Dogma we have is a shorty. Yeah.

Fillers from Nicaragua, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. Oh, interesting. Okay. The company calls it a full-flavored, full-bodied cigar that aims to deliver an extremely complex blend with rich, bold flavors.
We'll be the judge of that. It was blended by Luis Cuevas Jr. and his son, Alec Cuevas, as a project they decided to Luis Cuevas Sr. and the paternal lineage of the family's tobacco history, which began over 100 years ago.
100 years ago. It traces back to Juan Cuevas, who began growing tobacco in Cuba in the mid-19th century after leaving Spain. He was the first Juan Cuevas. The first Juan?
Of all the Cuevases, he was the first Juan. Right. , via press release. When my father left Cuba, he left tobacco behind.
Oh, but it's really good now. He left it. Years later, rebuilding in the USA, he was able to revive, I thought he was going to say retrieve. He was able to retrieve the tobacco!
Oh, he went back and got it. By opening his cigar factory in the Dominican Republic, wait, what? What? After rebuilding in the USA, he was able to revive our family tobacco history by opening the cigar factory in the Dominican Republic.
There you go. Well, then didn't he revive it in the Dominican Republic? Well, because he went to the USA, he was able to do it. Ah, because my father's perseverance, our family legacy continues to live on.
The cigars are made at Tabla Calera, La Lava Cesarela, the company's factory, in Santiago, Dominican Republic, they debuted at the 2021 TPE, before shipping to retailers at the end of August, damn, you miss everything, either you don't answer the emails, we don't go on shows, you don't answer emails, we don't get exclusive, we got no shop exclusive cigars, we make We make shop exclusives for ourselves and we give them to everybody else.

Uh, that's close. It doesn't say how much they are. As far as buying them and the price, that's none of your damn business. None of your damn business, Eladio has to tell you, you can buy it.
I'm sure he'll send them to us, we're old friends now. Yeah, you're on Eladio, go way back guys. Alright Michael, now we're onto the real news, Florida news, national news, a lot of news going on. A lot of news, yeah.
We're only at 38 minutes. Dog the Bounty Hunter thinks that Brian Landry's a serial killer. Dog the Bounty Hunter has hurt his ankle and gone home. Oh, he left?
He left. What? Yes, he left. In other words, he couldn't find him, so he went home.
He rolled his ankle? He rolled his ankle, supposedly, and went home. Ah, my ankle. But don't worry, he left a team here to look.
Oh, a team? A team, yes. His tall son, the younger, Hispanic-looking son, probably those, those fellas. They couldn't put him in like a wheelchair or some shit?
A four-wheel driver? I'm thinking he got tired. He'd been running around in my islands for two weeks now. He's like, you know what, I can't.
I'm not a young man anymore. I thought I would have found him by now. I yelled at him on the cell phone. Did you see the clip where he's yelling at him on the cell phone?
No. Yeah, he's got a Razor flip phone. He's yelling into it to supposedly tell him Brian Landry to turn himself in or he's coming to get him. Oh, he had him on the phone.
I don't know. Yeah, he probably didn't. I don't think he has his number. Hello.
So they can't find him, but he's using a phone. Right. That's how they found the one guy. Right.
Yeah. He was in a tree with his phone. Yeah, that's true. The, yeah.
The cop shooter guy. Yeah. So. But, uh, do you notice, Michael, you didn't see many love bugs this year?
You know, I haven't seen him for a couple of years. Well, I've seen maybe a dozen total, but normally you could see a dozen between here and the car. Have we killed them all off? Well, let's find out, Michael.
I have a story about love bugs. Okay. Love bugs are the ultimate nuisance found in Central Florida. They don't bite, sting, or spread disease, but they can cause big-time issues for drivers, and they're often found near highways.
Yep. Splattered love bugs can cause damage to the paint on your vehicle and not remove quickly. These pests typically come out in droves and cover everything twice a year. Weren't they originally created by the Florida Gators to kill a mosquito or something?
That's a myth. That's not true. That's an urban legend. No, no, not true.
If you let me finish, it's addressed in the story. I don't like to just let you do the story. I like to. Yeah, I know.
The first love bug season is in the spring during the month of April or May. A second season normally happens in late summer in the months of August and September. This year, however, for most of Central Florida, love bug season was extremely light. Love bug larvae very much need a Goldilocks environment to thrive.
So that would be a perfect environment for love bugs. Okay. The Thrive, not too wet, not too dry, but just right. Lovebug larvae, the immature stage of an insect, live in decaying vegetation at the soil surface.
So if you have mulch around your house and stuff, that's where they live. In the mulch. In the mulch. I'm mulching.
According to Dr. Norman Lepala. Lepala. L-A-P-P-L-A.
Close friends with Eladio. He's Eladio's brother. Norman. A professor of entomology and nematology at the University of Florida.
Yeah. Not where they made the bugs. Not where they made the bugs. The frequency and amount of rainfalls factor in determining the amount of love bugs each season.
If the habitat is too wet, they drown. If the environment is too dry, they dry up. For years, most center floor is well below normal in the rainfall department. We've had a lot of rain.
The Orlando area is past winter. A rainfall deficit. No, we haven't had much rain according to this. We haven't had a lot of rain.
Thank you for fixing that. And when I say rain, I mean we haven't had any. We haven't had any. More than three inches was observed.
Below normal, the rain continued through the summer. Below normal rain. Oh, below normal rain continues throughout summer. Not only was it dry, but there was also several extended dry stretches within those time periods, 2019 and 2020, 2020, is it 2020, 2020?
Who knows? Rainfall was much closer to average through the winter and spring period. In those years, lovebugs emerged in large numbers across central Florida. So while there were a few lovebugs earlier this spring and summer, the explosion of insects was likely capped due to extreme dry conditions across the region.
Cap that off. I wonder if that means they're going to be more or less next year. Oh. Does the larvae stay and come out next year?
Is it not? Yeah. Or, since there weren't many bugs, have we now cycled through the park? Well, it's not like they can relay more eggs.
I think there's love bugs in my nose. Well, that's what I mean. So, now less love bugs came out. So, there should be less eggs.
As long as that larvae was killed up by the dry stuff and it doesn't come back up when it gets wet, like a sponge, and it gets wet, whoop, we're back again. Yeah. Maybe we have cycled out a little love bugs. I hate love bugs.
Listen, you know, the only questions that I have are what's the total populations of love bugs that came out this year? Seven. How many of them have been tested for COVID? Five.
Oh, is there a love bug? Is there an anti-vaccine for a love bug organization? Damn, I think I missed out on something here. Yeah, I mean, what do they say?
Love bugs don't talk. Yeah, exactly. In the press release, they said... There is no comment.
No comment. No comment. You know, I mean, I really wanted to know. All right, now we have a Florida story.
We tested the love bugs. We tested the love bugs. How do you test a love bug for COVID? I'm sure there's a way.
Very tiny Q-tip. Very, very small. Very small Q-tip. A Florida sheriff is advertising social media some 700 pounds of marijuana that authorities wanted to return to its rightful owner.
I'm sorry? Exactly. You dropped this. Excuse me, sir.
The tongue-in-cheek post on Facebook by Brevard County Sheriff's Office argued, The office was just trying to do the right thing and return to marijuana. Since the Bevard County Sheriff's Office, we always strive to do the right thing. Our narcotics agents are trying to identify the rightful owner of approximately 770 pounds of marijuana that was seized from a mini storage facility in Vieira. " Yeah.
So, once we properly identify you as the rightful owner, we will gladly return your property and also make sure that both you and your property are kept in a secure area so no one can try to rip you off. Oh, that's so smart. I've even offered a staycation for the owner. Think about exactly how much your lost property means to you.
Sheriff has made extensive use of social media during his tenure as the most politically incorrect sheriff in the country. Using humor to engage the public on YouTube, Ivy runs a number of joke programs to showcase various cases and aspects of his job, most notably his Wheel of Fugitive, where he spins a Wheel of Fugitives to determine the fugitive of the week, according to Florida Today. Don, spin the wheel, see the fugitive of the week it is. We're looking for Eladio.
It's his birthday. It's his birthday. Eladio and his 770 pounds of marijuana will be reunited. No, no, Eladio didn't get the marijuana.
He didn't do it, it wasn't. It's just a joke, Eladio. We love you, Eladio. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to you. You know what I'm saying? I really want to sing Eladio. I really want to sing.
Somebody play this for Eladio. Somebody play this for Eladio. Alright, Michael, this is a 2016, we're just eating up the time here, just so you know, for 45 minutes. I got one story left, then we have a shop of the week.
We do have a shop. Alright, this is a 2016 article, but it's made the news cycle again. You ready for the headline? I like that they got nothing else going on.
Right, as I said, it's a slow news cycle this night. Supermom saves her family, gives gunman a blowjob. Wow. A quick-thinking mom who would tag a supermom saved the lives of her family from the hands of a gunman by giving him a blowjob.
" Wow. To say I'd do anything for my children would be an understatement at this point. Understatement at this point, plus, he wasn't a Minuteman, so it took a lot of work, she added. Wow.
Jennifer's husband, Raymond, had only one thing to say about the ordeal. She never gave me a head like that, but we can talk about that later. For now, I'm just glad our children are safe. That was, that was, it's a legitimate story.
They are from South Carolina. Oh. Lovely, uh, younger couple, look like they may be in their thirties. Yeah.
Of course, there's photos. Imagine that she, you know, like, she sucked that guy off, she was hoping that it would just go away. Just go away, here we are five years later, still talking about it. Well, I Googled the story to make sure it was legit, and apparently he got so excited he put the gun down, she picked up the gun, shot at him twice, and he ran out the door.
Wow. I guess he's that good, I mean... Wow. And then...
Incredible. I mean, can you imagine... Supermom. Can you imagine Earl, or whatever the fucking husband's name is?
He's going, son of a bitch, you never do that for me. I'm going to tell you, fucking five years later, that guy's sitting down on the couch, he's got a beer in his hand, he's watching TV, he's like, remember when you fucking blew that guy? God damn it. He's super angry.
He's not letting that go. He's going to drink everything. Yeah, he's like, now you're nationally known as a lady who sucks dick. As the problem solver, you know what, I feel like I have a gun right now, as he's saying that to his wife.
Well, he's bigger than you though, Raymond. What, what, shoot me, just go ahead and shoot me, Raymond. Shoot me, go shoot me, you think your gun's gonna do anything? Yeah, pfft, pfft, pfft, that's not happening.
Oh, Lord, Lord. All right, we select Shop of the Week, we get hundreds and thousands of notifications from around the country for people that want to be Shop of the Week. We do. If you would like your shop to be Shop of the Week, send more emails to me, 'cause I need more things.
