ACHP 586 Donna Mills On Onlyfans.com
Episode Summary
Episode 586 of A Cigar Hustler's Podcast finds host Mike "BDP" Palmer joined by co-host Triple G (Greg) and guest engineer Michael Szczepankevicz — with Fran "Mjolnir the Crusher" Saletto sitting in as a live studio audience. The first half is classic unfiltered lounge talk: listener comments and supporter shout-outs from The Lounge at chpod.com, the ongoing CH Pod auction stalled at $46, Florida's lack of state income tax versus high-tax states, and a long-running running gag about "Petty Palmer" and prank-calling Boots at the beach over boiled peanut shells. News segments cover the nearly $50 million eBay settlement with journalists David and Ina Steiner after the 2019 harassment campaign, the death of Scottish traveler Elizabeth Jane Ross in Greece, a Texas apartment-pool public lewdness arrest, and 85-year-old Knots Landing star Donna Mills joining OnlyFans — the item that gives the episode its title.
On the cigar side, the guys break down the EP Carrillo (Perez Carrillo) Encore Edition Unica II, a 6 1/4 x 54 Toro with a tapered 109 head that the company is calling the "Amigos" vitola — an all-Nicaraguan, five-year-aged international-market release limited to 1,100 numbered boxes of 10, following the 2024 original Unica (6 x 56 Double Toro) and the newly announced Encore Noir II. They also discuss Craig Reynolds, the former Cigars International and General Cigar/Scandinavian Tobacco Group executive (and recent Drew Estate consultant), coming aboard Best Cigar Prices and parent company New Global Marketing as an advisor to Greg Fox, with plenty of joking about what an "advisor" actually does and how much that job pays. Rounding out cigar news, Espinosa Cigars director of sales Jack Taranio checked Wyoming off his list as the 44th U.S. state he's visited while repping the premium cigar industry.
The show closes with the industry's favorite game, "What's The Score?" — guessing the Halfwheel score (reviewed by Patrick Lagreid) for the Eladio Diaz 73 Aniversario Unforgettable Edition Toro, a $25, 6 1/2 x 54 Dominican puro from Tabacalera Diaz. Clues about creamy, earthy, peppery complexity and a nearly three-hour smoke had guesses climbing into the low 90s before construction issues pulled them back down — and the actual score of 83 surprised everyone. There's also a practical tip in there: instead of leaving a nub behind at the beach, let it go out and shred the leaf.

Transcript
- 3, 2, 1 - Welcome to a Cigar Hustler Podcast where the cigars are premium, the opinions are unfiltered, and the conversations have no boundaries. P. Palmer. Alongside with me, my host for the co-host for the week, Triple G.
On A Cigar Hustlers Angry Podcast. And keeping us sounding our best, our guest engineer for the week, Michael Szczepankevicz. Whether it's cigar, sports, business, current events, pop culture, or technical problems with the show. If it's worth talking about, we're going to talk about it.
No scripts, no safe answers, just honest conversations. Big laughs in the kind of show that can go from premium cigars to absolute chaos in a matter of seconds. Every episode is like hanging out in your favorite lounge with your friends. So thanks for spending some time with us.
Let's get this thing started. On today's show, eBay sends some more than what the people bargained for. How many times do we have to tell you? Listen, lady, keep the noise down.
The 80s were the best time, then in cigars we have a new cigar, a portal entry today, and a Jack Taranio news item. Oh, I like that guy. And then we end the show with a what's the score three-way. Three, oh yes, the three-way.
Yes. But first, Mikey, how do we get some of that CH Pod swag? First, welcome for Anceletto, Mjolnir the Crusher is in the building, he is a live audience, you cannot see him, but he's waving hello. And in the meantime, like and subscribe.
We're reviewing and listening to the show. com for all your chpod swag, where we just dropped the Wing Hazar shirt and shout out to some people real quick. Some of our supporters, I will tell you, supporters. Michael Z, Matt Brugger, Fran Saletto, who I'm still gonna have to ship to you, buddy.
Sorry, very sorry. Corey Davis, our guy, Mark Palmer, Lance, who is, I believe, our new listener, Mr. Palmer. Oh, nice.
New listener, Lance. Yeah. New listener, Lance. And I think I see a Chris Weiss and then a Jason.
So thank you very much, guys, for your support, we appreciate that. com? The Lounge. Very fancy.
Jason says: "I caught that comment, Mikey. What if I'm tired of the taxes and giving away my hard-earned money? " I don't know on the show, but I mean, that's Jason Wolpert? I don't know.
Yeah, that is. You're right. Well, I mean, I don't know. Can we talk about what he might be referencing?
I don't know. You tell me. Worst comes worst. We edit it out.
Oh, he's moving to Florida? Oh, yes. Yes. That'd be good for him.
Yeah. It's nice here. You still don't know exactly where. I do.
I've talked to them. Oh. Oh. Yeah.
He only tells me half of the information. Yeah. You know, when a state takes all your money, it's not fun. Nope.
You know? But they're here to help. I'm from the government. I'm here to help.
Florida takes none of your money. I mean, there's other ways. Well, yes, but they- No matter what, they get paid. Yes, yes, yes.
It's just not as obnoxious. There are hidden taxes. Certain counties have fuel taxes like 10 cents a gallon on gasoline, right? Yeah, but nobody else is taking out two killers at the same time.
There's no income tax for the state. Right, there's no state income tax. And we like to do the death penalty two at a time. We like that too.
Saves money. And the sales tax is palatable as well. Yes. Yeah.
It's doable. Oh, a little camera adjustment there, very nice. He didn't look his finest. I looked huge.
You have it right up against the desk. Well, huge. Like a gorilla. Look huge.
Hey, speaking of which, he's popped back up on social media. Has he? He's wishing happy birthdays. Oh, very nice.
The gorilla? No, no, the huge guy. Oh. Bless you.
Sorry, I'm allergic to technical difficulties. You'd think we'd be used to it by now. Oh, auction. The auction is still holding fast at $46.
At $46. When you're listening to this show, it's already over. And we'll be congratulating a winner. So there's that.
The comment from Chris Weiss says, Palmer, you're not helping the situation in regards to saying that he wore it as underwear. Maybe you should keep that to yourself. Maybe some people would like that. Apparently not, because bidding has stopped.
Well, they're letting CW have it. Great. that's great so we got like 10 bucks coming from the auction thanks so much 10 more than we had if there's anything else you'd like to do to help us oh we need new cords so that'll cover the cords that won't cover the cords that won't even cover the shipping for the cords Amazon free shipping meanwhile Greg's texting over here no no I was researching honey are you watching it's not live but I look great I'm on this is a picture of me it's a picture of me on this is my good side they said All right. So some comments from the show.
I've just at Jared Harper says, I've just completed an epic two and a half month listening binge to catch up on episodes. You really screwed me going to five days a week. Comedic highlights over the run include Palmer crying laughing at the school bus story episode 455. I dropped my book, the movie titled Dead Inside Him.
Yeah, for sure. Dead inside me. Dead inside me. The King as a Ginger, Palmer's Thirst Trap video being caught before it was deleted.
Yeah, so that was a good one, yeah, yeah, yeah. It is, and it's a sticker now on my phone, and I send it to him on occasion. Yeah, on occasion. Yeah.
One final point, Petty Palmer is my favorite type of Palmer, not getting invites and not getting cookies, et cetera. Absolutely hilarious, camera time. Keep it up, gent, and happy birthday, Mike. Thank you, brother.
They appreciate that. Petty Palmer is something we deal with every day, just so you know. " So I don't know, like, what is it? Do you want to be invited?
What is it? Like you, I just want to be invited, but I don't necessarily want to go. You want someone to bring you the cookie, but you don't want to eat it? Yes.
I want to be offered the cookie. Got it. Greg's still doom-scrolling. Doom-scrolling.
Very busy over here. Very busy. He's got to catch up. Bless you.
Still technical difficulties. Still allergic to technical difficulties. Very allergic. At CW6383 says, she is a Marine, not a former Marine, Palmer.
No such thing, right? I thought we covered this before. That was a quote from the news article. I apologize.
Not his words. I don't believe him. Palmer's saying not his words. That's what he's saying.
Not His Words. Yeah. Does that still imply when you're deceased? Yep, always a Marine.
Oh yeah, always a Marine. Still a Marine? Yeah. What about if you lose your...
Head? Now you're two Marines. Oh. There you go.
Now you're submarine. Ah. Oh boy. He's here all week, folks.
" Ah, yeah, for killing of the bugs. Killing of the flies. That's, that's, that's a, yeah, you know, I almost got a second one for free shipping or with my Uline purchase. When you buy a bunch of cardboard, they, it was one of the things that they offered.
Is that how you got the first one? No, I bought that one outright. Gotcha. But I was debating if I almost got a free one, almost paid $700 for shipping and got a free plastic gun.
Yeah, but double, double shotgun. Yeah. No need to reload. Oh, always have one ready.
Yeah. " Bing-bong. You know, when Palmer's supposed to be calling customers, he sends me images, so that's-- The bing-bong was from my house. Was it?
Yes. Why aren't you calling customers there? From my house? I was cooking dinner.
Oh. Well, why aren't you calling the one you're cooking? Because I was busy making things and sending them to you. Call more people.
Um, da-da-da-da-da, let me see. " He nailed the other day. Yes. " Yeah.
" That's a DJ song? Yeah. " Oh, did I make that sound? That noise?
Yeah, we were just doing it, yeah. Hey, I do have a question, as long as someone brought up Girard. You get one question. His shorts just started coming up today.
Yeah? What do you mean? Well, we recorded that show Monday, it went out Tuesday, the shorts are coming out on Friday. Yeah.
Are there a way to get them to come out when the show comes out? I'm a little behind. Oh, all right. What happened was the Creekside video started integrating in and that kind of pushed things back a little bit.
But what happens is a weekend, one weekend, and all of a sudden it closes it all out. Sure, that makes sense. Oh, does it? Yeah.
So when Monday comes around, we're caught back up. So I'm very sorry that my shorts aren't as coming out as expeditious as you were. It just seemed like they would do better for the show if they came out the day the show came out. Oh, well, sorry.
It's timely fashion. And yet here we are and episode numbers are continuing to rise. Well, yeah, every time you do another episode, the number goes up. Yeah, so maybe you should fact check your data before you come at me, sir.
What episode? No, so you said that wrong. You said the episode numbers keep going up, but they do. Every time we do an episode, then the next number happens.
It goes from one to two. We have more views as Marine Corps. Okay. Well, there's views.
You didn't say views. You said episode numbers. Are you trying to get me on a technicality? No.
I'm just trying to follow your train of thought. Once a Marine, always a Marine, Palmer. You're not a Marine. Yeah, I know.
I'm aware. And nor would I ever try and be one. All right. So angry.
So why do you want me to call you a Marine? That's amazing. " That's not what it says. Is that what it says?
Palmer's like, I didn't write that! Nope, I read them all before the show. Palmer seems to be angry and agitated all the time. I don't know what his problem is, and I can't stand him now.
It's actually IH8BDP. IH8? Yeah. Oh.
Yeah. Oh, it actually says, I would like to take a hot dog from Palmer, is what it says. It's not what it says either. It says eggplant or hot dog.
Oh, from Palmer? No, from iHeart Palmer. I told you, I read all the comments when they happen. I get notifications just like you.
You want to take your own hot dog from yourself? Sure. That's interesting. Right.
Dead air there? No, I answered you. Sure. If you want to make another insult, feel free.
This is going to be a good one. I don't know where you want me to go after I answer your insult. Fucking intense. @TheBuzzinator says, best part of the episode was when Mikey got jealous and visibly upset When Palmer said he was going to move the sparklers behind Triple G.
Visibly upset? Yes. Visibly upset. Yes, so you know.
He got quite upset. It would never happen. I would hurt all of these people. He wears his emotions on his shoulder.
There's no jealousy. There's just, I rule with an iron fist. com. Now, let's get on with the show.
A Massachusetts couple who say they were terrorized by former eBay employees and the CEO have reached a nearly $50 million settlement with the company. David and Ina Sterner, journalist, what are you doing? You told me that I have to move, I can't just move them, I have to unscrew them. Maybe you should apply some WD-40 to these things.
Or maybe you should do that before the show. Well, it just keeps drooping. On today's episode of Mike and Mike bicker and fight all day long. All right, these two people are journalists, they cover the e-commerce industry, and they were targeted in a 2019 harassment campaign after publishing critical coverage of eBay.
According to the lawsuit, they received packages containing live cockroaches and spiders, a preserved fetal pig, a funeral wreath, and disturbing items while also facing cyber-stalking, death threats, and in-person surveillance. The funeral wreath is a nice touch. So, they were journalists writing stories. They are journalists.
They are journalists. They were writing bad stories about eBay. They wrote one. And then the people, not eBay, but like the people.
No, no, the CEO of eBay got upset. Okay. And said, hey, send these people some bugs. Send these people a pig.
Oh, wow. They sent porn magazines to their neighbors, but with their names on them. " Like the cruise thing that Boots sent to Greg? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, except they sent it to the neighbors, so it would have Greg's name on it, but it would have gone to the house next door's address. " We have this man-on-man love thing for you. Yeah, right, exactly. Nice.
So we also had employees renting cars and stalking them. Wow. Can we confirm any of this, or is this all alleged? Well, they paid.
They paid to stop it. And they paid a big number. No, eBay paid them because it was proven. 50 milli.
This started in 2019. They just settled the lawsuit yesterday. 50 milli, bro. Wow.
Federal prosecutors charged six former eBay employees and one contractor, all of whom pleaded guilty. The Steiners say they hope the settlement deters companies from trying to intimidate journalists over their reporting. So, several people got arrested, the CEO lost his job. Hey, so like, I'm, you know, I'm just kind of spitballing here, this is, this has nothing to do with me or anything like that, but just kind of asking for a friend.
So, like, if you send stuff like this, is it frowned upon if I'm sending it just because they were journalists covering things, or, you know, is it a big deal if I just, you know, just send it to somebody I don't necessarily like? I think it's the level they went to. Well, I think if you were to, like, Boot said that thing to Greg, I mean, I don't think he can get a rest at the back. Oh, I could get 50 from Boots?
That'd be awesome. Yeah, yeah, get 50 million from Boots. Get 50 from Boots. Maybe $50.
I could get, like, one of those coupons for McDonald's or something. Yes, there you go. Yeah, he probably has the coupons for McDonald's. He's got the coupons for McDonald's.
Oh, hey, you know what, I'm gonna call him real quick on this show. So, he's at the beach. He's at the beach, and ironically enough, my wife is on this girls' trip, - And it's at the same place? - Next floor above, like same unit but directly above.
- It's beautiful. - So she just said that she went down to the beach and apparently there's like a ton of boiled peanuts and shit all on the ground from on the sand. - That's definitely him. - And it's 100% him.
- That's definitely him. - So I'm gonna call and say, hey man, the police are just calling, they just came here, they're asking questions about you, something about a bunch of boiled peanuts on the ground. - It's gonna be awesome. - Littering all over the beach.
- Oh my god. - All right, let me go, is there a three? There's a three here. - Yes.
Let's call him real quick. We're not going to hear it. Oh. Yeah, you will.
No, we won't. He's going to put it on speaker. Oh. If he answers.
Oh, he answers. He's bored. He has to get out a diaper. It's just his call failed.
Oh. Phone, she might have made him turn his phone off. No service by the water. Turn one more time.
You should have said the number out loud. Not looking good. Say, he barely works when he's here. You think he's going to work on vacation?
He might be floating. Buying more peanuts. Please leave your message for three, eight... Oh, God.
Funny, officer, we didn't intend to get sued by somebody who worked with you. Next thing you know, he's getting packages with dead pigs in it. Dead pigs, roaches, spiders, porn magazines. He wouldn't know what to do with the ones mixed with the regular porn.
One of these is a gag, one of them is legit. I don't know which one. What were we into again? He's like, clearly this is, you know, this is research work for my...
For the podcast I'm on. For my next film. Oh, his next film. Thank you, thank you.
Okay, all right, moving on. All right, authorities in Greece are investigating the death of a 38-year-old Scottish woman, Elizabeth Jane Ross. Ross arrived in Greece on June 29th after traveling through Cyprus and had reportedly been staying with friends in Kirsten, a suburb of Athens. According to police, she was last seen on July 15th after telling friends she planned to meet two American acquaintances in Athens.
On July 18th, a suitcase was discovered inside an abandoned building and Athens police confirmed Ross's body was found inside the suitcase. They packed her. They packed her in the bag. Investigators believe she died several days before her body was discovered.
Police have also stated that messages continue to be sent from her cell phone after they believe she had already died. What do these messages say? I'm fine. Everything's fine.
Don't come look for me. I'm having a great time here in Greece. Authorities are investigating whether someone else used her phone following her death. How else do they think they sent the text messages?
Yeah. Wow. Greek police are reviewing surveillance video, conducting forensic examinations, and awaiting toxicology results to determine the cause and manner of death. They're also working to identify and interview individuals who were in contact with Ross during her stay in Greece.
As of now, no arrests have been announced, and the investigation remains ongoing. There's another woman who went on vacation by herself and didn't come back. I'm gonna go get my wife right now. Well, she's not by herself.
The lady that was missing the other day that we covered that story, they found surveillance footage, they zoomed in and cleaned it and stuff, they have a video of her jumping in the water off that pier, so they're pretty sure something happened out in the water. " And, you know, it's like, it's one of the safest places on Earth, and then the other person says, oh, you know, I don't know, they both actually kind of contradicted themselves, which I thought was even funnier. But they both, either way, they simultaneously called us idiots. So, yeah.
Yeah. Like an interaction from people. Yeah. I like that.
So, what do you think, how do you think this woman ran into people that decided to put her in a suitcase? Do you think it was like an app, or do you think she was just at a bar, or what do you think it was? Well, it could not necessarily be the two Americans that she went to go meet and could be anybody. Isn't crime rather high in Greece?
I don't know. Apparently when we ask any questions about countries we've never been to, we're a bunch of idiots. So, I'm gonna say yes. Yeah, I believe so.
I have a friend who was just in Greece, but it was a, I mean, he's a kind of a, you know, man built like you, so he didn't have any problems, but all his photos and things that he took are mostly from the restaurant on top of the hotel that he got to know really well. He just stayed there? It's quiet there? Looks like he was there every night.
You know, he got to know the staff and other guests, and he just hung out there. I don't know, have you ever been to Greece, Rich, Greg? I have not been to Greece. My wife has.
Yeah? Oh, that's right, she did. I mean, she went with Axel, yeah. Did she order two meals, one for you and one for her?
No, no, no. No, she took her son, didn't she? Yeah, she did. Yeah, so she took food off his plate.
Did she take his food, too? No, she wouldn't take his food. He's used to it. He doesn't even notice anymore.
Yeah, yeah. It's been happening in his whole life. Yeah. He just thinks everything's just half.
Everything is just half. All these restaurants just have child portions on their food. I don't know what it is. What's the crime level in Greece?
Let's see. Sometimes it talks, sometimes it doesn't. Oh, just so you know, Greece has a relatively low crime rate. Oh.
Except for the one person in the suitcase. In the suitcase. Except for the one, yeah. I mean, it wasn't even her suitcase.
Did it say what size the suitcase was? -No, it didn't. There was no photo. -It was a carry-on, roller bag?
-Not even a decent full body shot of the woman, so you don't know if she was a large woman or a small woman. The lady in Granada, it was a conflicting photo. Some of them, she looked like a petite little blonde lady, and then the ones with her husband, she was a rather large, robust lady. -But this woman threw herself from the bridge.
-No, no, no, no. There was a pier, and there was like jumping in the water to go swimming off the pier. -Ah, and then she's gone. -Yeah, then nobody ever saw her again.
Yeah, they like zoomed in, got between two palm trees. And you could see her, you're like, yeah, you know, jumping into the water. Uh-huh. Got it.
Not like somebody threw her and there was no bridges. Maybe there were people under there waiting for her. Shark. Under the pier?
Yeah. Right, maybe. One shark. Maybe.
So now she's lost in some type of trafficking thing. That's the worst. So anyway, women don't travel abroad by yourself. Women don't travel.
Allegedly. Don't travel abroad. No, don't travel abroad. It's not safe.
Especially by yourself. Yeah, it's wild. It just seems foolish in this day and age. Yeah, get put in a suitcase.
I think it's been in every day and age. Yeah, maybe we just hear about it more now. Yeah. Because the news is so worldwide now.
You know, like Oregon Trail, going by yourself, it's not going to be good. Well, no, they're Indians, Indians. I mean, I'd worry about the other travelers that were with me. Uh, yeah.
Yes, you're right. Yeah. And the rattlesnakes. Yeah, it's always the rattlesnakes.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I saw that 1888 show. You see that? Oh, yeah, yeah.
And the one lady went crazy. Oh, yeah? There was a big story about snakes in Florida the other day, but you didn't, you got mad last time I did an animal story, so. So now there's no more animals.
We're sticking with just women in suitcases, women losing their heads, these are the things we're going to be discussing. And then we'll move on to something else. Dismemberment of women is the topic that's okay, but animals, we're not doing that. And they're always Marines, for God's sake.
They're always Marines. What was the animal clip that I got upset about? I think it was the third alligator attack, to be specific. Oh, so you just kept hammering it home.
Well, it kept happening. I mean, there was a run on alligators killing people. There was a tear. Yeah.
You think after the first one hits the news, the other people would start being careful, but no. No, no. Let's go swimming. Swimming, yeah.
Yeah. What beach is your wife at? Mine? Yeah.
I can't disclose that information. Well, there was a shark attack in New Smyrna two days ago. A guy got his foot bit off. Nice.
He was in knee-deep water. Oh, wow. Which is usually how far my wife will go out. Now I'm sure it's an ankle.
Now it's ankle. Now it's ankle. A very small shark bite. She likes the little tidal pools that form when the tide goes out.
Oh. You can see the bottom. That's nice. I'm not a beach guy.
Can't stand the beach. Yeah, me neither. It's very dirty. The sand and all.
I mean, there's a bunch of... It's hot and everything. And apparently there's a bunch of boiled peanut leftover shells It's kind of scattered everywhere. Right, by the resorts, apparently.
Yeah, and awards, sharks, people. Yeah. Oh, there's a great white off the coast of Jacksonville. There's a little edge of a cigar that's left, like, there's evidence of that as well.
Oh, did she say that too? Yeah. That had to be in there. I bury mine.
I make a little ashtray in the sand, and then when I'm done, I just cover it up. See, that's dumb too. Why? Here's what I'm gonna tell you.
Here's all you have to do, is you let it go out, and then just rip it apart. And then it just becomes... Oh, shred it. That's a good idea too.
It just becomes leaves at that point. I didn't think about shredding it. Yeah. That's what you need to do.
Okay? Instead of just... They take the band home. Yeah.
Instead of just tossing a cigar, when it gets small, rip it into the shreds. Then it's like little leaves. You just open it up and just free it. That's what I like to free.
Free. Like you're spreading ashes. Yeah. You're back with your people.
Cigar, be free. You're back with your people. Go free. There you go.
Nice. Okay. All right. Texas responded to an apartment complex swimming pool after receiving multiple 911 calls.
In Texas? In Texas. Somebody was throwing a chair? That was why.
Michael, you want to guess? I'm going to stick with boiled peanuts. I'm going to say that there's more boiled peanuts here in Texas. It's an ongoing cereal scenario where boiled peanut shells are going everywhere and people are very upset and outraged.
The calls were reporting loud sexual noises coming from the pool area. And what is the problem with that? It's the middle of the day. It's not going to last long, just let them finish.
So it's okay at 2 o'clock in the morning? Yeah, it's more justifiable at that point? Well, the biggest problem is there were children in the pool. Well, the children weren't making the noises, were they?
No, weren't the children, no. Okay, good. According to an arrest affidavit, witnesses told police a man and a woman were engaged in sexual activity in the pool during the afternoon while children and other residents were present. Several witnesses reported that the noise drew attention to the couple's behavior.
When officers arrived, they identified the individual as 32-year-old Emil Parma and 75-year-old Douglas Faith. Oh, now we're talking. 32 and 75. Now we're talking.
Let the boy watch. Oh. Yeah. Police allege Parma was on top of Faith in the pool and making thrusting motions.
His last name was what? The lady's last name was Parma. Oh, I thought you said Palmer and he's a 75-year-old man. Douglass Faith is the man, Emil Parma is the woman.
Dougie getting it, I love it. According to the affidavit, Faith admitted Parma had been on top of him and acknowledged that there had been sexual contact, but denied they were having sexual intercourse because he had a penile implant. Wait, isn't that like the pump where you can just pump from the... A penile implant, I don't know if that's the pump or like the wire.
The wire is a weird one, have you seen this thing? Yeah, you just sort of pull it up. Oh my god. Oh my god.
So it's like this, right? Like a Gumby with a wire in it, you go like this, and then it just stands there. Right. That's amazing.
So it might not have been over quickly, Michael. Oh, wow. Because there's no problem for him. Right.
Both Parma and Faith were arrested and charged with public lewdness. Oh no. During the arrest, officers also reported finding two marijuana cigarettes in Faith's possession, resulting in an additional charge of marijuana possession. He's 75 years old.
You think he gives a shit? We are having a good time. I love it. Court records show Parma was released after posting $1,500 bond, while Faith was released on a $3,000 bond.
Yeah, the old man paid it. Or he just let her wait it out. You know, like, uh, do you want to get out? Guess what you're gonna...
You know what you gotta do, right? We're going back to the pool. I have not bent it back down. The guy goes into jail with it completely erect.
What is wrong with you? The case remains pending and both defendants are presumed innocent. And less proven guilty in court. Mmm.
That was amazing. 75 on 30. You know there's footage. Somebody videotaped it.
Oh yeah. This day and age? Absolutely. 75 on 35.
Oh my god. Well, it was 35 on 75. What? She was on top.
Oh. The math is still there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's still math.
It just creates a whole different picture. Wild. It's a beautiful thing. Texas.
Do you make her bend it up or do you go, I'm going to? Alright, now make it hard. Do the trick. Dude, do that thing I like.
You mean where I straighten it? Are you ready, honey? Should I straighten it now? Should I straighten it now?
I think there's been enough time. Go ahead. Incredible. What a country.
Are you guys familiar with the show, Knott's Landing, back in the '80s? No. Can't say that I have. Back in the '80s?
Yeah, it's back in the '80s. We were like five and eight. You probably weren't even five. If it's early '80s.
It depends on what part of the '80s. Well, Donna Mills from Knotts Landing back in the 80s has joined OnlyFans at 85 years old. Oh my god. Beautiful.
Beautiful. Donna Mills, one of the best known television stars of the 1980s, thanks to her role as Abby Cunningham on the CBS primetime soap, Knotts Landing is throwing fans a surprise by joining OnlyFans at 85 years old. Yay. I've always appreciated the incredible support and encouragement I've received from my fans over the years.
Social media has been a wonderful way to stay connected. What type of content? Raisin titties? Are we talking feet?
Raisin titties? What's going on? Come on. Rocks and socks?
It doesn't specifically say, but in the recent onslaught of older actresses getting on OnlyFans, she's expecting big money. Oh, here we are. She'll be sharing moments from her daily life, behind the scenes glimpses, and engaging with fans in a more meaningful way. So yes, new to me.
Meaningful. Yes, meaningful. " There you go. All right.
There you go. Beautiful. Palmer, how's your OnlyFans been going? Uh, I canceled it.
You turned it off? Yeah, I turned it off. Why'd you turn it off? Uh, because I got tired of you sending me email asking for special things.
I don't have to send you emails. Did you legitimately have an OnlyFans? No idea. Oh, okay.
'Cause you guys do have that, like, uh, what is the one where you can, like, send a video hey i just wanted to say happy birthday to what's it called cameo cameo you guys you guys have that we have cameo yeah yeah we have done one video in four years yeah yeah we did we sent one and then we asked if the guy was like hey is that cool and they never got back they're like no here's a 20 dollars leave me alone yeah we got us 20 bucks i don't know why i even did this we did get a fake email not long ago saying someone else it did but they wanted us to They log in through their link, and then obviously they thought we were big time and they would have cut money out of us. Yeah, idiots. They would have logged into the accountants at zero dollars. Right.
It's funny. Oh, somebody did a comment. Man, you know, it didn't pop up, but they said, "Hey, thanks so much for always saying that you guys are poor all the time. " Oh, is that what you meant?
I saw that. Oh my God, that's amazing. So, the ads are based on our comments, that's great. It's subscriptions for EBT, they come up for ads on the show now.
Like, check advance for your... Let's do a whole show about ED medication and see if they all get an ED commercial. Isn't that incredible? That's beautiful.
You say poor enough times. I. I. all the time, you know?
You would think. Maybe they don't advertise. They don't need that. Well, there's always those, there's a couple of them that are a little bit shadier.
I. I. " You know, or whatever. So, okay.
All right, now we're doing Cigar News. And the guy, and the person's, like, a regular. So, I'm sorry, I don't remember who it was, but it's pretty funny. All right, go ahead.
All right, Carrillo Encore Edition Unica 2 release for International Markets. One more time, what was that? Another cigar we can't get. The Carrillo who what?
Perez? Oh, EP Carrillo? EP, see. Well, it says Perez.
Yeah. Yes, Encore Edition Unica 2 released for International Market. Okay. Has not one but two new international releases shipping to stores this month.
This month, the company already announced the Perez Carrillo Encore Noir II, but there's also a second version of the different Encore. 254 Toro. It uses a 109 head, meaning the top of the cigar is slightly tapered. I think they put that in because we always ask what these different things are.
Well, I know what a 109 is now. Well, yeah, now, but we didn't the first time they put it in. I did, I did. Well, I think we asked you, but now they're including the description.
Something in between the standard Parejo cap and the pointy tip of the Bellicoso, companies referring to the Batola as Amigos, blend wise, the newest release made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco, age release five years. I have you guessed the price, but they are not saying what is. This is my life. 1,100 numbered boxes of 10 cigars, which have already begun shipping to stores.
See, the original Unica was released in 2024, also has a 109 cap, it's a 6x56 Double Toro. It's because you didn't know. Oh, but I knew. No, it's because you knew, but nobody else knew.
It was because that's why. I said I didn't know. Thank God it's on video. Something truly special, said Ernesto, the company's founder in a press release with Amigos, we wanted to showcase the beauty of the 109 format while allowing carefully aged tobaccos to deliver remarkably balanced complexity and refinement.
My children are in the room, by the way, in case anybody can hear that. We don't have caged children in the area, they're just running rampant and yelling and complaining with each other. Full live audience today. Full live audience.
Oh, that's right. If you look at Greg, you can see the Fortnite kind of blurry playing in the background on the big screen TV. Oh, that's right. Yeah, life is good.
All right, Craig Reynolds joins Best Cigar Prices as an advisor. Oh, this is exciting. Craig Reynolds, who once led Cigars International, General Cigar, has joined Best Cigar Prices and his related companies as an advisor. He told Half Wheel that he will serve as the as an advisor like make sure they know that he's an advisor do you think he'll be advising a lot of advisors he's going to advise specifically Greg Fox the head of new global marketing Inc the parent company a best cigar prices best cigar prices includes an online retail operation physical store and drums that had a full bar and kitchen as well as a wholesale distribution arm Alliance cigar all of that should be quite familiar for Reynolds who spent more than a decade at Scandian and The Scandinavian Tobacco Group, best known for his work at Cigars International, Reynolds' tenure saw a massive change for the world's largest cigar retailer.
Shortly after he started, the modern-day SCG was formed through a merger that put Cigars International and General Cigar Company, one of the largest handmade cigar companies under one corporate entity. Hmm. Anybody heard of this guy? What's he going to advise?
Greg Fox. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to lower our prices. About half a million a year is what he's going to advise.
He's going to take a check. Do you think he gets, that's his salary, 500k? Yeah. That's it?
You think it's more? As an advisor? I think more. This guy's got quite the...
As an advisor? that he's done. Fran, how much do you think he, how much do you think? I think it's like based upon how many times he's answering them, so maybe it's like a couple k each time he comes up with...
Oh, it's like a, it's like a piece work thing? Yeah. Oh. So, France has three million.
Couple K every time I answer the phone. Yeah, hello. Hello? Before he did this, he was consulting with Drew Estate and they ended that last year.
Nice photo of him in the suit, too. It was a lovely photo. Yeah, lovely photo. With his non-compete set to expire, he's taken the role with Best Cigar Prices, New Global, though said he doesn't have specific plans.
Instead, he wants to be a resource for Fox. Whether that be bouncing ideas off, or on specific projects, it's really he's just sitting around to look, I have no real plan other than to talk to you when you want to talk to me, let's just lower the prices, lower the prices, less, less money, more traffic, more traffic, he starts, so he starts in September, sits at his desk, waits on the Fox guy to come knocking on the door, spins in the chair, spins in the chair, I need more cigars. - Okay. Well, that's exciting.
- Well, it is for this guy. He's making money. He's sitting around, spinning in his chair. - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I need that job. - Who do you want to advise? - You. - I don't have any money.
I work for you. I don't know what to tell you. - No, you can't advise me. - I advise that guy as well.
- No, you can't advise me. - I got news for you. I advise both of you. - How about to say, he's already doing that already.
- Yeah, yeah. Who would I want to advise? I don't know. I always try and help people anyways.
Right, you kind of do it for free. That's my problem, you know, start saying, "Hey, I have good advice for you," and then just send them like a credit card link. " Okay, well, here's the answer, right? " I think that's a good line.
And I think everybody should have at least a 20 spot in their pocket, and they give you the 20 bucks, they get the answer, it's a good deal. I think that, you know, I mean, obviously people have made careers out of this, you know what I mean? Like, this guy's hopping from company to company. Right.
Yeah. I mean, I can't walk past the big table upstairs without somebody stopping. Let me ask you something. Figure I could probably make a hundred, a hundred and twenty within a day?
I'm just kind of astounded that they believe that you have the answers. They stopped me. They definitely stopped me. Is it more than, where's the bathroom?
Mm-hmm. But you know what? For those type of questions, half-price, ten bucks. $10 for the bathroom.
$10 or you're going to shit yourself. Yeah, we should charge more for that then. Yeah, sense of urgency. Right.
Yeah. What did Fran say? $20, you can just go on Claude and answer. $20.
Claude, where's the bathroom? You don't say it too loud, Claude's going to hear it and Claude's going to start charging you money. Okay, all right, moving on. I'm sorry, I'm fascinated with the game over there.
Jack Taranio of Espinosa Cigars reached another major milestone this week. s state he visited while representing the premium cigar industry wait a minute he hasn't hit all 50 yet nope he's been doing this for such a long time and he's i mean he's obviously a worker i would expect he already did it yeah and he's constantly on a plane oh no it's these are his words wow we had a chat on his way to the airport the other day wow tarania who joined Espinosa cigars as director of sales in 2019 has spent years traveling the country meeting retailers hosting events and He's been introducing smokers to the company's growing line of premium cigars. His stop in Wyoming marks another step toward his goal of visiting all 50 states, a journey that's taken him to cigar shops, lodges, festivals, and events across the nation, known throughout the industry for his passion, energy, and willingness to connect with retailers and consumers alike. What are the six that he hasn't visited?
We didn't discuss that. I don't know exactly, but I believe they are out west. Like the Rocky Mountain just got moved to Wyoming, so that's where he is now, so you get to check that off that list. Check it off.
What a cool thing though, like to have your job allow you to be able to attempt to hit all 50 states. Yeah. You know what I mean? Sounds miserable.
I mean, okay for you, maybe. I used to have that perspective, but my wife kind of changed it for me. I like to travel now. It's very outdoorsy and very traveling.
Yeah, I do kayaking and shit. So would you want to go to Nebraska? To say that you have the ability to do all 50? Yes.
So you just want to go to Nebraska to say that you went? Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. All right, so like, does that mean you want to blow somebody?
No. I mean, just to say that you did it. I mean, why? Just to say.
Just to say, why, why? You know what I mean? You know where's mine? One is an accomplishment, the other one is like, you know...
Landing in Nebraska? No, it's like 20 bucks. One is an accomplishment, one is arriving in the cornerstone. Well, yeah, I need to say that you visited all 50 states as an accomplishment.
Yeah, same with, you know. I mean, and obviously, my friend Jack Taranio, because he has the perspective that, well, you know, it was a milestone in his career, I agree. I definitely agree. He agrees.
He agrees. And I'm just curious as what the other six states are. I am too. I'm sure after he watches this, he will let us know.
Yeah. Okay. Very good. Do you want me to call him?
Or we could try boots again, get him with the peanuts. I don't think he's going to answer. He's not going to answer? I think you're right.
He's floating in a pool with a pie on his chest. And just throwing the shells into the water. There's a child swimming through like an oil slick of spent peanut shells on the surface of the water. That's exactly what's going on right now.
That is precisely what's happening. Okay, all right. All right, time for the industry's favorite game. What's the score?
What happened? Try it again. Try it again. Go ahead.
Time for the industry's favorite game. What's the score? I couldn't hear Fran. I couldn't hear Fran.
Fran didn't say it. Yeah, no. All right. Players hear clues from a Half Wheel Cigar review and try to predict the score before it's revealed.
More details are shared. The challenge gets easier. Or does it? The closest guess to the actual score wins the round.
Can you read between the lines to predict the score? " Today's Cigar, July 30th, 2026. Patrick Le Greed is the reviewer. It is the Dominican Republic, Eladio Diaz Cigars, Limited Edition Reviews, Eladio Diaz 73, Anversario, Unforgettable Edition Toro.
Mike Toro. Did you see this one? I have not seen it. I know that it's recent, but I have not seen it.
He gave the date. Yeah, it was July 26th. Which was four days ago? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you did just announce that you saw the picture of the man that's now sitting in the desk for Best Cigar Guys. Yeah, that is true, but that isn't because, like, I open up Cigar News. It's because things come across my feed. Unless this rating came through my feed, I'm not searching these things on a daily basis.
Okay. At that point I would know things about the industry and you're always telling me how I don't know anything about the industry. Maybe just look at the pictures, I don't know. I do like the colors.
The story was posted on Facebook yesterday. There you go. I think Coop. See, came through the, I do, yeah, I see Coop.
I see Coop. Has anybody smoked a cigar? No. Fran, you smoked a cigar?
No. All right. We would like to try an Eladio cigar. I'm willing to bet that I know exactly what number he's gonna guess.
Me? Yeah. Oh yeah, of course you do. Yeah, go ahead.
Yeah, it's 88. Yeah. Uh, I'm gonna say 89, and then Fran, you get the honor of going last. Fran?
85. Fran says 85. Not a lot of faith just off the name. Cigar Review, Giladio Diaz, 73 Anniversario, Unforgettable Edition Toro.
Unforgettable. From the Dominican Republic. Factory Tabacalera, Diaz. Rapper, Dominican Republic.
Binder, Dominican Republic. 5x54, $25 cigar, if that's important to anybody, and they smoked three. Expensive, big, Dominican. Yeah.
Big Papi. Sticking with 88. 89. Fran?
Stays at 85. 85. I like that you attempt to, like, switch to Fran, but there's no camera on, where you're like, ah, ah! Clue number one, the cigar delivers a dynamic and evolving flavor profile balancing creamy notes, earth, and pepper with impressive complexity that keeps each third interesting.
Moving up, eighty-nine. Ninety. Fran? Ninety-one.
Ninety-one. Big swing. Yeah, it's huge. Clue number two, construction was generally very good, producing abundant smoke, The second smoke, and an enjoyable draw on most samples, and a long smoking experience of nearly three hours.
They do take a while to smoke cigars. It's a big cigar. It is a big cigar, but I can't recall of any cigar that ever took me three hours to smoke. I'm going to go up to 91.
Look at the burn on this thing. It's incredible. It's incredible. 81.
I'm going to stick at 90. Fran? I'll stay at 91. So we have two at 91?
Two at 91 is 190. Greg likes to cramp everybody's style. Clue number three. Triple G.
Construction wasn't flawless across all samples with one cigar suffering from a firm draw, uneven burn, and requiring touch-ups and relights in the final third. Going down. Yeah. 88.
Damn. 87. Fran? 86.
86. 86. It's a tight race. Stuck in the middle here like a sandwich.
Final thought. Like Phil's fit last movie. Stuck in the middle like a sandwich. Final thought.
This is yet another example of why we smoked three cigars for review as opposed to just one. While I enjoyed the first two, the third cigar showed the most dynamic flavor despite also... Hold on, hold on, hold on. Phil's calling me back.
Hey. What's up, sir? What's up? Hey, listen.
The police are here. They're asking about something about loitering and littering a bunch of boiled peanuts all over the sand or something. You know anything about that? Uh, no.
No? Are you having boiled peanuts at the beach? I wish. You wish?
No. Yeah. So it's not you? No.
All right. Well, they believe it's you. Alright, well, they believe it's you, so if they run into you, there's potential there, and they're asking that you pick up your boiled peanut shells. Stick with your story.
It was probably Coop, not me. From afar, from afar. Alright, pick up your boiled peanuts. Bye-bye.
It was definitely him. Nope. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Palmer for interrupting.
That's right, I'll start the final thought over in case you guys didn't hear it. Okay. This is yet another example of why we smoke three cigars for a review as opposed to just one. While I enjoyed the first two, the third cigar showed the most dynamic flavor, despite also having the firmest draw of the three.
That cigar, particularly in its second third, showed a dynamic back and forth between two very enjoyable profiles and exhibits how the blend and construction can come together to deliver such a unique and memorable experience. I certainly wish the cigar with the firmest draw wasn't also the one with the most dynamic flavor profile, as while the two may be related, I would have liked to experience a flavor with a bit less labor on my part, but the result was worth it. Unforgettable? Maybe.
Enjoyable? Definitely. Oh. Singing with 88.
90. 89. Greg wins at 83. 83?
Wow. Unforgettable Cigar, 83. I already forgot it. 83.
Wow. Incredible. Unforgettable, maybe. Enjoyable, definitely.
Enjoyable. 83. 83, enjoyable. 83.
83, definitely. 83, enjoyable. 83. Wow.
The one that tasted the best had the worst draw? Yeah. So. 83.
Ah. Okay. Well, look at that. All right.
Anything else to add there, Mr. Palmer? No, that's it. com, us, Cigar Hustles podcast, wherever you pay for the whole year, you're getting 10% off.
Thank you very much for listening today, we hope we provide a great edutainment. Fran, we all know you're the crusher, thank you for attending in the audience. Thank you, Fran, thank you. Thank you very much, it's always nice when you make the trip, and that's it.
Thank you to the children giving Greg a background today. Yes, that's lovely, lovely. Great background. We'll tell you how the game finished out if they won or not.
Yes, right now he only has one elimination. All right, guys, we gotta go. Bloop.
