All right, now trending stories

this week.

Oh, now trending stories this

week.

Sorry, it's broken up funny on

the screen.

Search is on for three escaped

monkeys after a truck overturns

on the Mississippi Hwy. 3.

Monkeys remained on the loose

Wednesday as searchers in mass

face Shields and other

protective gear scoured fields

along Rule Mississippi Highway,

where a truck carrying the

primates overturned a day

earlier.

Why with face Shields?

Well, they say they're not

dangerous, but these guys

looking for them are dressed up

and like hazmat suits.

It remained unclear who owns the

monkeys, who was transporting

them and where they were being

taken when the truck crashed on

Interstate 59 N of Heidelberg.

Authorities have said most of

the 21 monkeys were killed on

impact but haven't elaborated on

just what occurred.

The Jasper County Sheriff's

Department has said animal

experts from Tulane University

examine the trailer Tuesday

evening and determine 3 monkeys

had escaped.

The truck was carrying rhesus

monkeys, which typically weigh

about 16 lbs and are among the

most medically studied animals

on the planet.

Did you say?

Did you say rhesus Rhesus?

'Cause he's.

Very excited.

It sounded like he said racist.

Oh, Rhesus, I thought he heard.

RESUS Anybody smell like

something's burning?

Well, it's probably a cigar.

It smells like wires though.

Oh well, yeah, the whole place

is burning.

Down Dominican tobacco.

No, you're about to have a

stroke.

Oh, again?

Yeah.

Good to be on camera, it

recorded after the crash showed

monkeys crawling through tall

grass beside the Interstate,

where wooden crates labeled live

animals were crumpled and thrown

about.

The truck was no longer on the

scene Wednesday, but the

searchers in gear including

white coats, gloves and hairnets

were checking fields, aided by

law enforcement officers, Jasper

County Sheriff Randy Johnson

said.

Tulane officials reported the

monkeys were not infectious,

despite initial reports by the

truck's occupants that they were

infectious.

No, no, everything's fine.

No, everything's fine.

Nothing to see.

Here.

Nonetheless, Johnson said the

monkeys still need to be

neutralized because of their

aggressive nature.

The monkeys were being housed at

the Tulane University of

National Biomedical Research

Center, which routinely provides

primates to scientific research

organizations, according to the

New Orleans school.

The Research Center is located

in Covington, LA, about 40 miles

north of New Orleans. 21 monkeys

had recently received check UPS

confirming they were pathogen

free.

Yes, Sir, Tulane said in a

statement Wednesday.

The university said it wasn't

transporting the monkeys and

didn't own them, but send a team

of animal experts to help with

their care.

If anyone sees monkeys, they

should call the authorities and

shouldn't approach the animals,

the Sheriff's Office has warned.

Wow.

So far as they say, they don't

know where they're going, who

they belong to and why they were

in the truck.

Right.

And then Trulane says.

But they just had.

But they're fine.

But they're fine.

We just examined them the other

day, they're fine.

There's nothing wrong with any

of them.

Yeah, how does again, same

scenario.

I don't understand how people

don't ask questions about any of

this.

It just doesn't make any sense

to me.

Well.

Apparently I've heard they have

everything from COVID to AIDS.

Yeah, that was.

To I saw everything.

I mean, it doesn't take long for

Instagram and.

No, everybody.

Just started to take over.

And the the vehicle was

overturned.

Yeah, and then it crashed on the

highway.

I don't understand the whole the

transportation of monkeys in the

semi like that in itself.

It's just like.

Well, I think it was just I

didn't see the truck with it in

actual.

Monkeys.

I don't know.

I think it was just like a

little box.

There was a little box truck

instead.

What?

Was it like a van?

They're dangerous.

You don't put them.

You know we're going to put them

in a van.

Everybody's strap in, we're

going on a ride.

And what exactly how did the

crash occur?

Nobody is.

Nobody's talking about the

crash, just the monkeys.

Sounds like a movie.

He's probably texting.

Maybe one of them attacked him.

That's usually how it happens in

the movies, right?

One gets loose in the truck.

And then there's an outbreak.

That is how Outbreak started,

actually.

The Movie.

The monkey attacked the person

in the car.

Monkey attacked a little girl

after he got loose from the

airport and it was these rhesus

monkeys.

A little spider monkey things.

So it's not the same story.

Not yet.

So these are spider monkeys, not

like real like.

They're not like chimpanzees.

They're Reese's monkeys.

Which are, you know, the

chocolate covered.

Yeah.

They have peanut butter

interior, so we don't know who.

So we don't know who owned the

monkeys.

Nobody's coming forward.

We don't know.

Why they were moving them?

Why?

Why?

They were moving.

We don't know how the accident

occurred, correct, but we do

know that the monkeys are fine.

No, there's still 3 missing.

Yes, but they're a threat.

But they're not a threat.

They're aggressive.

Make sure you wear a face mask

when you approach.

These, yeah, but the people

looking for them wearing face

Shields, which is a clear thing.

AX coveted mask underneath

hairnets, white suits, rubber

gloves.

But the monkeys are fine.

Everything's fine.

Oh, they got monkey pox.

We're fine here.

Monkey pox, right?

But we have an update.

Something happened over the

weekend.

Oh, there we go.

Update.

We have an update Jasper County,

Mississippi.

This is in What started as a

calm Sunday morning in rural

Mississippi exploded into chaos

when one of the escaped monkeys

from last week's Hwy. truck

crash was spotted prowling

through a quiet neighborhood

near Heidelberg at dawn.

Jessica Bond Ferguson, a 35 year

old professional chef and mother

of five, was jolted awake by her

16 year old son shouting Mom,

there's a monkey in the yard.

No more monkeys jumping on the

bed.

Before stepping outside,

Ferguson called the police, who

told her to keep an eye on the

animal.

But fear began to rise.

She worried that the monkey

slipped away.

It could endanger other children

in nearby homes.

It's a quote from her.

She unloaded on the monkey.

Somebody's kid and I could have

stopped it, that would be a lot

on me, Ferguson said.

It's kind of scary and dangerous

that they are running around and

people have kids playing in

their yards.

Determined to protect her

family, Ferguson grabbed her

phone and her firearm and crept

outside into the early morning

stillness.

There it was, the fugitive

primate, standing about 60 feet

away, illuminated by the Fang

glow over porch light.

She took it out, thank.

You residents had been warned

that the escaped monkey might

carry diseases.

Acting on instinct, Ferguson

fired.

Bang.

I did what any other mother

would do to protect her

children, she said.

The first shot startled it and

it ran, but the second the

second shot brought it down.

She hit it moving.

She hit it, moving guys standing

still.

She missed.

Moments later, the Jasper County

Sheriff's Office confirmed a

homeowner had shot one of the

missing monkeys.

The Mississippi Department of

Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks

soon arrived to take possession

of the animal. 2 monkeys are

still at large.

Do you think they're going to go

to her house?

Not now.

Not now.

They know she's packing.

They're terrified.

Yeah, they saw Frank get fucking

dropped.

Hey, look, there's Frank.

Oh my God, he shot him.

Run the other way, Bob.

Do you think she did the right

thing shooting the monkey?

Oh yeah, yes, sure.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Well, I mean, you don't know.

I mean, OK, we don't know where

the monkeys are from.

We don't know where they were

going.

We don't know why they were

transporting them, right.

People looking for them were in

hazmat suits shooting that

monkey.

I think that, yeah.

What about you, do you think?

Yeah, I'm dropping it.

I'm the 16 year old son.

I would have shot the monkey

before a walk before I woke

mommy up.

So 60 feet away, she missed the

first shot.

It's standing still, illuminated

by the porch light.

Illuminated by the porch light,

right?

And then when it started to run,

like, Oh my God, I'm being shot.

At I think she needed a

challenge.

First shot in the air, right

warning shot.

It's a chase he.

Didn't move in.

There he goes.

Now I'm going to beat him.

Moving target.

Firearm.

What do you think the firearm

was?

Rifle.

There's no I, I think it's a

pistol.

Probably 9mm.

Think she came in?

What state is this?

With a handgun.

Yeah, maybe a long rifle.

Well, I mean, you would think

homeowner Mississippi maybe a

shotgun, but that's kind of a

hard shot at six.

I I mean I'm no no guy, no gun

experience. 60 feet with a

shotgun, Is that a hard hit?

You got to hit with a buckshot.

You ever seen Dave Chappelle?

You would know the difference

with the different.

Books.

Well, I know the difference

between buckshot and Like a

Slug.

Don't you shoot with like the

discs?

Don't you do disc shooting with

a shotgun?

Skeet.

Shooting skeet shooting.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

That's 60.

You do?

Yeah.

Pull.

Right.

Maybe that's why she yelled and

then the 16 year old she

probably said clapped his hands,

right?

I can only do it this way.

I don't think it was a handgun,

no.

No, it was either shotgun or a

rifle.

I don't hear music.

Part of my stroke.

I don't know.

Yeah.

No.

What music?

Great.

OK, continue forward.

All right, one monkey down to to

go. 2 Monkeys still large If you

see a monkey, please do not take

things into your own hands.

Either shoot it or call us here

at the show. 2 Little monkeys

not jumping on the.

Bed jumping on her bed.

Please call us while you're

shooting it.

Video monkey.

She had her phone.

There's got to be video footage.

Why would she grab the phone

first?

She's on the phone with the.

Police I grabbed my phone and my

gun so I could video character.

He's out here and.

Monkeys on my swing shot.

That monkey out here I need to

take care of.

It Is this how people in

Mississippi talk?

Yes.

I've never been in Mississippi.

No.

Human trials bring us closer to

breathing through our butts.

What?

What a story for you to pull

here.

You were really excited about

this?

Yeah, he was.

I like the monkey story about.

He wanted to share this with.

We may be a step closer to being

able to breathe through our

butts.

A new human clinical trial has

shown that it's safe, at least

to deliver oxygen rectally.

It sounds like a joke, and

indeed the research that led to

the trial won a Nobel Prize for

Physiology last year.

But there's a good reason behind

it.

If proven effective, it could

become a backup.

Pun not intended method for

providing oxygen to patients

with blocked Airways.

Think about it.

I mean, you know your crushed

airway, right?

Stick a pipe up your ass and

they breathe through the butt.

The work isn't entirely without

precedent.

Animals like pigs, rodents,

turtles and some fish are known

to be capable of butt chugging

oxygen when the need arises.

OK.

The process is called internal

ventilation and researchers

envisioned that it is the case

that that in the case of humans,

it would involve delivering a

pre fluorocarbon liquid

containing a very high

concentration of oxygen directly

into the rectum.

The idea is that oxygen passes

through the intestinal walls and

makes its way into the

bloodstream, bypassing any

issues a patient may have

breathing the more traditional

way.

First clinical trial wasn't

testing how well the method work

method worked, it just focused

on whether it was safe.

To that end, 27 healthy male

volunteers in Japan we're test

withholding between 25 and 1500

milliliters of a non oxygenated

version of the liquid in the

rectum for 60 minutes. 60

minutes in the Butt 60.

Minutes so so you basically you

getting an enema and you got to

hold for have you ever had an

enema?

No.

You cannot hold that for 60

minutes.

So these Japanese's.

Right, these Japanese.

Japanese, Yes, yes, the.

Japanese.

These Japanese's.

So these guys were.

OK.

That's the way they say it,

Mississippi, just so you know.

Right?

Yeah.

I'm sitting here, yeah, thinking

to myself, how the fuck did this

get tested?

It was death by Bufo is what it

was.

Well, apparently we got a

regular thing with animals, so

they thought, well, maybe this

could help humans.

Yeah, like here we're going to

make him stop breathing real

quick.

All right?

Stop breathing.

Well, they have to make some

type of oxygenated liquid, and

that's the way you're going to

get it.

But these guys just held a

liquid in the butt for 60

minutes.

Right.

The next trial we use a properly

oxygenated version of the liquid

and test how much and for how

long.

OK, so I I got it now.

So the first, the first trial

was can we hold the liquid in

our butts for 60 minutes,

correct, without it doing

anything?

Without you just holding it,

yeah.

Don't squirt it out.

I'm.

Laying there with a tube in my

butt for 60.

Minutes.

That's amazing.

They found 27 Japanese's.

How do we feel willing to do it?

Japanese So how do we get boots

on this trial?

No, I'm not getting.

I would say he's already tried,

but he was over in France at

his.

Place he likes.

You mean in Germany?

Is it Germany?

I knew it was somewhere over

there.

Maybe he's one in France too.

Maybe there is, Maybe.

Maybe it's a subsidiary.

Maybe this is only in Japan?

All right, the second test will

determine how long it needs to

be held with no clinical

improved patients blood oxygen

levels.

So next time they'll do it and

they'll do the put the thing on

your finger, see if your blood,

see if your.

Oxygen lowers.

Right.

No, it goes up.

You want to go.

Up Could you imagine the

scientist testing this out the

first time?

Because he had to test it out

for himself first.

You think so?

Yeah, that's how I came up with

the idea.

No way.

No way.

You think he was just like, you

know what?

If I put a tube in someone's

butt, I wonder if they can

breathe.

Yes.

Oh wait, I mean you've heard of

butt chugging where they the

college kids put the alcohol.

Up their butt, yeah.

It's the same idea, you just

absorbing the alcohol, the

oxygen instead of the alcohol.

So the very first Test was on

somebody.

There's no way that it was on

somebody else.

It started I.

Think he tested on his.

Own think he did it himself, not

maybe his partner.

Maybe it's a two man team.

It started instead. 020 it's two

men. 2 Japanese 2 Japanese So

the research was published in

the Journal of Medical Research.

Oh, it was published.

It's been a published yes, the

guys won a Nobel Prize.

They won a Nobel Peace Prize for

Physiology.

So just so everybody knows, if

you can't breathe, you're going

to get a tube right on your

butt.

You're.

Going to get a tube and get that

liquid oxygen up your head you.

Know it is kind of interesting

though, from a scientifical

standpoint.

Like if you figured out a way to

get oxygen into the bloodstream

without breathing right, right.

And you still have the option to

breathe, how how would you

mentally convince yourself just

to stop breathing right?

Like, hold your breath, you know

what I mean?

For the research or if you can't

do it.

Well, just in both, in like both

kind of.

I imagine they'll do something

to make you stop breathing.

That's that's what I was saying.

What would they do?

Put tape on your mouth and pinch

your nose.

I don't know.

Put tape on your mouth and pinch

your nose.

So that you can't breathe.

Me, me, me, me.

No.

But like, I mean, it could be

revolutionary.

It could change things for us,

maybe.

Maybe these people all have

trikes.

I mean, imagine if you were like

diving or something and you, you

know, you didn't want to go

encapsulated in air.

I'm sure that that would change

things if it was liquid based of

some sort.

Do you remember a?

Bit swimming around with a host.

So you're telling me that you

can really become Aquaman?

Yes.

Only the only the Japanese's

only the Japanese.

Aquaman with a tank with a hose

sticking out of his ass.

Yeah, but why do you?

We've already got the underwater

part, but you get to do it

through the top hat.

We want you to touch the deepest

part of the ocean.

How are we gonna do that?

Shove this up your ass.

Then jump in.

It's a good South Park episode.

Right, the weight, the weight of

the tank will draw you to the

bottom.

That'll be.

Fun.

We're going to fill you.

Yeah, we.

All right, Week nine NFL

snapshot.

Oh thank God we're past that.

He was getting excited over

there.

He was like talking about things

in his butt.

He was.

The Kansas City Chiefs pulled

away in a dominant fashion with

a 28 to seven win over the

Washington Commanders, giving

them their third straight

victory and solidifying their

momentum.

Wait, who?

Kansas City Chiefs.

Played who?

Washington Commanders.

Did that happen?

That did not happen.

I did not have him.

Oh good, we're back to this type

of and.

They played the Bills and they

lost.

I'm like, wait a second, what?

Apparently ChatGPT likes the

Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs are amazing.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions

narrowly fell victim to the

Minnesota Vikings.

Did that happen?

The are the were the Lions did

the Lions play, The Vikings won.

Yeah, the Lions didn't play the

Vikings 'cause I think the Lions

won.

This says the Lions were beat by

the Vikings.

You're gonna make me look now.

Holy moly, dude. 27 to 24.

I was putting up Christmas

decorations so I didn't watch

any games.

They were all horrific, so I

started turning.

Along Were they horrific?

Yeah, they were horrible.

Games.

Is there even a team called the

Las Vegas Raiders?

That's a real.

Team, There is a team.

Oh my goodness.

And they lost to the Jaguars.

Yes, 30 to 29.

That is correct.

That one's.

Correct.

The Seahawks beat the

Commanders.

The Vikings did beat the Lions.

OK, so the only one that was

wrong was the.

Kansas City, KS City did not, so

the only one was wrong was the

first one.

Is Kansas City play the Bills

and Seahawks play the

Commanders?

Yeah, Oh.

Were there any quarterback

injuries?

Yeah, that's next.

Go ahead.

Quarterback injuries are

becoming a concern.

One team is now dealing with a

disreplicated elbow for the

starter, altering their trade

deadline posture.

Who is it?

It doesn't say.

I didn't ask for no names.

It just doesn't give them now.

I think they're referring to Jay

and.

Daniel they are definitely

referring to.

Jay Davis from.

Jayden Daniels.

Oh, now we have a bell.

Oh nice, we have Bong.

Bong yeah, it's a go with, you

know, run DMC out there.

Are you still switching buttons?

Yeah.

OK.

No, he's just giving that part

up.

Defensive winning game.

Several squads locked down after

slow starts and pulled away,

emphasizing that the 2025 It's

not just about flashy offense

anymore.

I heard that Jamar Chase so

jamar the the Cincinnati Bengals

played the Chicago Bears and the

Bears won by like 5 points.

It was like 4742 or something

and Jamar Chase was was heard in

the hallway.

You just needed to make one

fucking stop.

Like he was so pissed off.

It was, it was kind of crazy how

much they both teams scored.

I mean, the Bears I would think

would score.

I didn't think the Bengals were

going to even toe to toe with

them.

They got.

One of the best whiteouts in the

league.

Yeah, but we got Flacco in the

pocket.

He's got to feed the guy.

He's got to feed the one guy you

know.

It was a new field goal record

set.

Yes, there was.

Cam Little of the Jacksonville

Jaguars beat the previous record

by three yards at 68 yard kick.

Yeah, it was an amazing kick.

Yeah, I don't like the Jaguars,

though.

They started off hot and they're

kind of fizzling out.

Oh, Liam Cohen did my bucks

dirty.

I'm not, you know.

The Bucks were on a buy, weren't

they?

Correct, they were on a buy and

next week they get to play the

Patriots of New England.

Oh, Drake man, Patriots.

So OK, is that it for NFL news?

It's it for NFL news.

Do you have a video for us?

I understand.

I do, but before I get into that

I keep getting these texts from

my wife and I better address

this.

Address it.

And she just wrote, you can't

ignore me.

Yes, ma'am, I have a donation

for my kids.

This is our annual thing where

we do a little fundraiser.

We'll attach the link into the

YouTube page below.

And what we will do is anybody

who donates, if you donate a

dollar, if you donate 5 dollars,

$10, whatever, every time, a

donation will act as an entry.

And we're going to give out some

test plans that I have upstairs.

We'll probably do three

different sets of giveaways for

stuff that is not currently on

market, maybe some other little

goodies too.

We'll see.

But.

So wait, just to clarify, the

donation gets them into a

drawing for a test plan, yes,

OK, doesn't automatically get

them a.

Test, No it doesn't

automatically get you a test

plan, but it is for a good cause

for my kids school and I'm

behind the 8 ball.

She's been yelling at me about

this for a little while, so

apparently I have to carry the

team.

So if you guys could help me I

would greatly appreciate that

Yes and yes.

I do have a video for us to to

view you too there Mr. Bootsy

did.

You send it to me.

I did.

Oh, it's in our group text.

The three of us.

I I thought, I want you to watch

this.

The guy in the mask.

Yes, the guy in the mask.

We're

This has to be epic because the

beginning How to light a Rocky

Patel cigar?

Yes, I knew it.

I knew it was going.

To happen, I follow that guy

also.

I don't know how I found him,

but yes.

Me neither, and apparently he

goes to the shows.

He goes to the PCA, yes.

Vandal.

I want, I want him to approach

us at the show and be like, just

so you know.

Oh, just so because he doesn't

have the mask on at.

The vandal.

I'm like, Oh my God.

Oh my God, I want a picture.

I thought that.

This guy is the vandal.

I thought that the video was

hilarious.

Yeah, it's just funny.

It's funny.

Because it's, well, yes, it is

hilarious.

And you know, if somebody did it

with Postagna, it wouldn't upset

me it.

Would have still been funny.

Yeah, like that's pretty funny.

A little more offended, but it

would have been.

Funny.

Yeah, I would have been

offended.

No.

If I'd really got offended, No,

no, because I usually take that

as like, if somebody like, flips

you the bird, I'm like, yeah,

fuck you too, you know what I

mean?

And then I'm just moving on.

I'm like, Oh my God.

Well, we could do one How to

talk to the van?

What's his name?

Vandal.

Is that what Vandal?

And then we burn a mask.

Then we burn a mask.

But there's now it's rocky with

tells the problem.

Yeah, it was funny because what

Mikey said about him burning

postagna is in a fantasyland.

He's not going to do that.

He's going to smoke.

That right there was a reason

why I threw that in the can.

So, yeah, OK.

How does he smoke it after he

throws it in the fire?

Really, I don't understand.

He didn't smoke it.

It's smoke bomber.

I know it smokes as it's

burning.

Oh, and you just inhale.

I love that the guy's got great

video quality.

Yeah, Yeah.

You know, Yeah.

He's got a good beat in the

background.

Like, kudos.

The cigar vandal man.

Yeah.

I have no idea who you are, Mr.

Vandal.

He watches the show, he's

commented on stuff.

But Joe, hat my hat.

I tipped my hat to you.

Yes, my hat.

I tipped my hat.

I.

Tipped my hat to you.

A couple of other things that I

saw that I don't have videos

for, but number one, you didn't

even cover the World Series.

We only do NFL.

We don't do sport.

I did sports one week.

You guys got mad.

Those were some It was pretty

epic games throughout and like

Game 7 was huge.

A guy named Will Smith saved the

day for the.

Freshmen to Bella, Yeah.

Exactly for the LA Dodge.

However, I did see some video of

inside the locker room the LA

Dodgers and they were smoking

Cindy's Afina.

Yes, I saw that video too.

Somebody shared that.

I think Mitch did, actually.

Yeah, so that I reposted it, I

saw it as well.

It's pretty awesome.

That's really cool to see a

brand that's, you know, smaller

in the whole industry and

they're being promoted on that

platform.

So if they're good enough for

the LA Dodgers, they're

definitely good enough for you,

buddy.

So check them out.

Check out Cindy's Afina watching

SportsCenter this morning.

Stephen A Smith was holding a

padrone.

Yeah.

In in studio.

Yeah, he's down.

He's at location for Dallas, the

Dallas Cardinals game.

So he's holding the padrone and

it's kind of, and it can be

awkward at times.

Like you can see that he doesn't

know what to do with it.

They need like a person on set

to show him how to kind of

handle, navigate that guy, you

know?

But it was cool to see it.

See Cigars in Media.

Yeah, because we need more of

that, right?

We need more of that.

We need more exposure, more.

And hey, if it's going to be

pajama, I don't care what it is,

you know?

I will be honest, as I smoke in

different areas, I'm seeing

younger people come in and start

to smoke.

I wasn't seeing that, you know,

5-6 years ago.

I I mean, to me, I think it

makes sense because you're in,

you're in a world that's

becoming more and more

technologically advanced, right?

There's more things that

separate us as humans that, you

know, even though it's social

media, there's still a barrier

there, right?

And there are, there is no

barrier with cigars.

You get to hang out and smoke

cigars, right?

So I think it's great for

society.

So, you know, to see it with

Stephen A Smith in his hand, I'm

like, oh, shit, OK, that's good.

This is a good thing.

More of this, please.

So I saw that and I wanted to

share that with you guys.

The other one that I thought was

kind of wild was a little off

base.

I'm OK with off base.

Do you know who ishow speed is?

Nope.

I show speed, yeah.

You don't know who ishow speed

is.

OK, well, he's pretty big on

YouTube and Instagram and all

these things.

It's really fast.

He erased the guy that I met by

the name of Ashton.

Ashton fell a couple times, got

smoked by I shall speed, but he

got stuck in his Halloween

costume.

Wear his mask.

He was in like the he dressed up

as like a evil flash, like

Bizarro Flash or something.

And he had a skull face on and

his skull face was stuck to his

face.

What?

Do you use glue?

I don't know.

I don't know.

But you know, he got it removed

from him.

He went to wherever he went and

got it.

Fixed removal.

Place the yeah, I mean, he had

like a team of people went over

and got it fixed but.

He must have glued it on

somehow.

I thought that was pretty wild.

Like that's pretty committed.

Did it move when he talked like

the jaw so he must have had it

attached to it so there wasn't a

back piece or anything?

He had like a helmet thing on

too.

So weird.

Yeah, it was you.

Know what he keeps coming off?

Just glue it on, it won't stick.

Yeah.

It'll be fine.

It was pretty wild.

Oh shit, I got to take it off.

Yeah, when I saw that today.

The night's over, let me get, oh

shit, it won't come off.

I saw that today.

I was like, damn, that's not,

that's not bueno, but at least

he could have smoked a cigar in

it.

Yeah, maybe that's why he glued

it on so we can still that's.

Probably why I did it, yeah.

It's really hard to smoke a

cigar in a mask.

Yeah.

All right.

So anyways, carry on.

Those are my little things that

I noticed that I wanted to share

with you guys.

Nice.

Thank you.

OK.

Well, thank you.

Appreciate that.

You're welcome.

All right.

All right, now I'm in the world

of cigars.

Maldives generational tobacco

ban goes into effect.

So you can't smoke cigars there

at all.

Well, at a certain age.

If you let's read off.

Let's just relax for a moment.

The Maldives has become the

first country in the entire

world to implement a

generational tobacco ban,

meaning that people born after a

certain date will no longer be

able to purchase, sell, or use

tobacco products, including

vaping products.

As of today, anyone born after

January 1st, 2007 will be

prohibited from purchasing

tobacco products.

Oh, So what age does that make

them?

Boots?

Mr. Math is hard. 31 that's.

Not right, that's.

Not 2007. 2007 so they have to

at least be under 25, yeah -7.

They're not 125.

This is 2025.

They are under 20.

That's they are under 25.

They have to be under 20.

Five.

They were born in 2000.

I was born 2025.

They would be 25 years old.

But it's 2007.

This is for 2007, right?

So if you just took 25 and minus

the seven it would put you at,

yes, it'd put you at 18.

Very good.

That's good.

I'm still listening to this

music out.

Do you guys hear this?

No.

No What music?

It stopped, no.

Whatever it's not, stop.

Crazy.

Today we take a historic step

towards tobacco Free Maldives,

wrote First Lady Mohammed in a

post on X.

As a healthcare advocate, I

applaud the government's

leadership in launching the

generational ban on tobacco.

What?

Healthcare.

A power.

What?

There's no evidence.

Maldives Healthcare?

Yeah, there's no evidence that

says that cigars or smoking a

cigar day is bad for you.

A powerful investment in the

well-being of generations to

come.

This is a bold evidence based

step to break the cycle of

addiction and prevent diseases.

We are securing A healthier,

stronger future for our youth.

A proud moment for the Maldives.

Harry this microwavable cuisine.

We have these rations for you.

Yeah.

They microwave this food in

Edinburgh.

Their prohibition also applies

to visitors to the island.

Microblastics.

Visitors.

Visitors that's new, which is

located in the southwest of the

southern tip of India in the

eastern Arabian Sea in which is

home to approximately 528,000

people.

This island is home to that many

people.

Yes, I think it's a.

Are we talking about the place

where they have these little

huts?

Yeah, this is.

Yeah.

I think this is where all the

overwater bungalows are.

Oh, really?

They're big down there.

Yes, are.

You sure?

Yes.

Yeah, the Maldives.

Maldives, A retailer found to be

selling tobacco to persons born

after January 1st, 2007, faces a

fine of approximately gentlemen.

This is in U.S. dollars.

In U.S. dollars.

In U.S. dollars.

I don't know if they had

Maldivian money. 505. $100, I

was gonna say $5000. $3200

Really.

Such an odd number.

Yeah, that is weird.

This is the place with the huts,

thank.

You.

Very much country in South Asia.

Vega Fena, you're the horse

2026.

Oh wait, dude, we want to talk

about this.

I mean, you yelled during SO.

Yeah, I mean, this is kind of

obnoxious, dude.

It is obnoxious.

She says she has proof.

You know what the funny part to

me too, is like?

Even when I have conversations

with people, we still get lumped

into cigarettes, you know?

Oh.

It's cigars, yeah.

I mean, cigars aren't addictive,

she says.

It's, you know, we'll break the

addiction, break the chains of

addiction.

Allegedly, yeah.

You know, so how she said that I

was talking with a guy and he's

like, yeah, you know, my parents

always smoke cigarettes, so I

never smoked.

I said OK, but like, that's two

different things.

Like cigarettes and cigars are

completely different world.

Like saying my parents ate too

much chocolate so I won't drink

coke.

Right.

Yeah, that's that's perfect.

I like that fair analysis, you

know, like, oh, sweets.

No, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

No, no, no.

Nothing sweet, my kids.

It's a problem with chocolate.

Right, exactly.

So we had, we had.

How'd we get there?

So like, I mean, I never smoked

cigarettes.

Either I did for a brief

semester in college, but I

didn't like it.

Yeah.

I've never the only thing I've

ever smoked other than cigars.

Is penis.

Nope.

Oxygen up your butt?

Nope.

Oxygen up your butt.

That's brand new, by the way.

German sausage.

Nope.

Nope.

Is hookah.

That's it.

Oh, so Indian.

Penis.

Was it with like a did it have a

phallic plastic thing on the top

of it?

Was the guy behind you going

dinga dinga?

Was it you want the bowl?

Yeah, did.

Was it?

Were there 2 balls on it?

No.

Did you have to hold it?

There was not 2 balls.

Are you sure?

Yeah, it's okay, man.

I'm okay with it if you're.

Okay with it, We won't judge.

I'm sure you're okay with it,

but I'm not.

Going to judge you it's.

That's messed up because there

are a lot of good people in this

world and they just all have

different opinions.

Well, that's their opinion and

they need to keep it to

themselves.

I don't think they need to keep

it to themselves.

Yep.

All right, moving on, you guys

stuff our kids can't.

Whether or not he's homosexual,

Vega, feed a year.

The Horse 2026, launching next

month.

Kirk is coming for you.

In November, Vega Phoenix You're

the Horse limited edition will

launch.

It's not just named after the

upcoming year of the horse, it's

a tribute to the horse Hasso

Hegway.

We like horses, a native breed

in the Dominican Republic.

As for the Cigar, it measures 6

by 56 and has an elongated

pigtail, which the brand says

mimics a horse's tail, so the

name of the vitola is listed as

Higway.

Blend wise, it uses an

Ecuadorian wrapper over a Nikki

Ragwin binder and fillers from

the Dominican Republic and

Nicaragua.

Like most Vega, Phoenix is made

in table Calera de Garcia in the

Dominican Republic.

Production is limited to 4300

boxes of 16 cigars.

In Germany, where Boots goes

clubbing, which was controlled

pricing each year, will be

priced at U.S. dollars.

Gentlemen, how much is this

cigar?

I have EUR and US, but we'll go

Who?

Who made it again?

Vega, Fina.

No, he said Garcia.

Vega Fina, the factory is some

James Garcia's factory.

I would say $12.00.

Boots.

Yeah, I'm gonna go 13. 1595 Yes,

the Vega Fina You're the Horse

Which one?

China of debut in China, the

local distributor before heading

out to other international

markets.

As with many other cigars made

to honor the symbols of the

Chinese Zodiac calendar and

leaned into familiar themes.

The packaging is red and gold

colors that are associated with

wealth and prosperity in China.

16 count boxes uses 2 rows of

eight because 8 is a lucky

number in China.

So it's only being released in

China?

It's being released in China 1st

and then in Germany, then the

rest of the world.

There you go.

You excited about that?

You can get at your club in

Germany if it didn't close.

I don't.

Think I've ever smoked in Vegas

either.

I think I've had one, but many,

many, many, many, yeah.

Usually.

Interesting, right Ellie?

But yes.

We should have made a cigar

called the horse's head.

Like, like godfathers, Oh,

godfathers.

You know, like you're the you're

the horse.

Horse's head, what a great idea.

It's not too late.

Then we.

Slide it in.

It's for next year.

It's for next year, the horse is

next year.

Think there's time?

I get skip on the phone.

Skip.

Will probably be like.

No, immediately skip.

Start making something shaped

like a horse.

I want to make the no.

Don't make the cigar shaped like

a horse.

Oh no, who was?

The guy, like he loved his

horse.

It was Godfather One, right?

Yeah.

And he chopped.

It was legit horse's head in the

movie.

Oh, was it really?

It wasn't.

Yeah, they killed a horse for

the movie.

I think it was a dead horse.

Oh, they quit.

Get on the phone.

We need a dead.

Horse.

We need a dead horse, Yeah.

Oh man, PITA it seems.

Like a PITA problem.

That was back in the 70s.

You could do whatever you

wanted.

Oh, PETA wasn't created.

Though, Yeah, you could do

whatever you wanted back then.

Yeah, we didn't.

We didn't cut it up right on the

camera.

It'd be fine.

Nobody cared.

We.

Didn't have feelings back then,

right?

Is there a grill around here?

Can we use the rest of this?

Somebody cooked this thing up,

put it in the hospitality suite.

Yeah.

Give us to the Japanese's.

The Japanese leave the

Japanese's one time Elia blue is

that you pronounce.

That Ellie Blue.

We've done blue three times.

Now Ellie blue shipping opus

Angel shares stairway to heaven

humidor the.

Correction from boots.

Tomorrow, Reyes International

will begin shipping the new

Ellie Blue Opus X Angel shares

Stairway to Heaven Humidor

Previewed earlier this year, the

new humidors are the latest

collection between Ellie Blue,

the French humidor maker, and

Arturo Fuente.

For this release, the two

companies have created a pair of

humidors.

They're identical other than

their outside color, so they're

not really identical.

They look exactly the same,

except they're different.

Except they're.

Different.

They're both squares.

Centered around the Opus X Angel

Share brand, the humidors are

made by Ellie Blue at his

workshop in Paris.

They measure 9.88 inches by

19.94 inches and 6.14 inches

obviously in millimeters, but

they put it in English for us

for freedom measurements.

Oh, thank you.

And are offered in either

natural or red Sycamore wood.

The humidors feature many of

these standard LE Blue features.

What's the standard LE Blue

feature?

Blue.

I don't know blue.

Designed to be used with two

Bovado 320g humidor packs, which

are held in place by

magnetically attached wooden

cover that goes inside the lid.

Oh, each humidor comes with 60A

Fuente, Fuente, Opus X, Angel

Share, Stairway to Heaven, A7

and a quarter by 56 Figurado.

Reyes International, US

distributor for Ellie Blue, says

that the Ventola will never be

released outside of these

humidors.

Ever again, however, only in the

humidor.

If you purchase a humidor, you

still can buy some extras.

You can buy more.

Oh, refills. 120 more cigars

divided into 260 cigar shipments

over the next two years.

Each human or has an MSRP of.

It's probably ridiculously it's

boots.

Boots.

Let's go to Boots first.

Last time.

I'm going to go with his Pedron

one was what, like 12 grams?

$7,000,000 I'm.

Going to go with 12 grams I.

Was going to say 25K. 17,500 and

I.

Would.

Have a Toro Fuente introduced.

Nope.

You know what?

That one.

Introduced the Angel Share line

in 2012, an extension of the

Open Sex brand.

Cigars are known for a lighter

tobacco than it's taken from the

middle of the plant.

Leaves a torque Fuente says are

sweeter.

The name is commonly used in the

liquor industry.

Refers to the amount of liquid

that is lost in the barrels as

the spirit ages.

Overtime, distillers will lose a

small amount of liquid each year

due to evaporation.

The Angel Share.

Yeah, just 92 humidors of each

color scheme will be produced

for science reference to 1992,

the year that Fuente planted the

crop of tobacco that would

become the first commercial

release of Fuente Fuente Opus.

Why are we?

Why did we miss some?

It's called science.

Beyond the humidors, Ellie Blues

also created a handful of small

accessories that use the Angel

share design and logo.

We should have called it

evaporation.

So let's see, there's a $600.00

pair of scissors.

There's a $310 cutter.

In the box.

No, no, these are extra things

you can buy.

Oh, on top of the box.

On top of the box evaporation

$600.00 lighter, $310 lighter

$1400 ashtray.

Opus X visa.

And if those weren't enough,

general bring backs the Cohiba

250.

Dollars a car because they.

Where are we moving on We're.

Moving on, it's just.

Another story they sold out so

well.

Do you think that they sell this

box in California?

Who?

Yes.

The Angel share box.

He has to give.

He has to give the guy a box.

No, apparently they've walked it

back to just a cigar now.

Yeah, yeah.

You don't have just a cigar.

Yeah.

Didn't go we.

Don't know how this works.

You know how the world works.

They got enough money and

they're closely attached where

they could probably just get a

blessing or something.

Allegedly.

Allegedly.

What when, when that guy that

makes the rules with California

and Fuente were saying at lunch,

Fuente was like, Hey man, I'm

coming out with this box.

I'm not giving you.

That Yeah, he said.

Gavin, my buddy my.

Man, Gavin, my man.

You know, and don't worry, I I

pick.

You and your Japanese, his

friends.

I pick on equal parts

politically so.

Didn't go, he would just come

out with like a $7.00 cigar.

Goiba yeah, the value 1, I think

so.

And now they've changed their

mind.

Now it's a $250.

A guy, well, here's what

happens.

Here's what happens.

It's like there's a meeting,

right?

Right.

There's like 30 people on Monday

and they and they talk about

this meeting, right?

And I think in order for

anything to kind of be greenlit

is you need the majority of

people.

OK to make sense.

Right.

So it's probably like one or two

guys that they're surrounded by,

yes people, right?

So it doesn't matter what they

say, just not.

Surrounded by Justin.

'S yeah, it's like, oh, that's a

great, yeah, it's a great idea,

it's a great idea it's.

A great idea.

Tickle the balls.

It's a, you know, like, Oh yeah,

you're so smart.

You're so smart, so.

That guy woke up.

You're also.

Handsome.

So I would think that that guy

woke up one day and he said, you

know what, we really need to

value cigar.

And they were like, yeah,

that's, that's great.

Idea great, Idea great.

Idea.

Oh my God, you're.

A great idea we need to value

Cigar.

Amazing, amazing idea.

Are we still getting paid

Friday?

Smartest guy all in favor.

All in favor of the values of

guy.

Everybody, everybody perfect

good values of guy.

And then you know.

Meeting goes on next week.

Few weeks later he's looking at

numbers like OK, like.

Well, you know that value of

cigars selling well, We're not

making a lot of money, but it's

selling good.

Yeah, they're getting a lot of

volume.

All right.

Volume all.

Right.

How do we?

Offset that and raise our raise,

you know our EBITDA.

Yeah.

How do we do that, Michael?

How do we know what?

We should do is we should sell a

250.

Dollars oh 200 and. $50 that's

so.

Smart.

Other way.

Yeah.

Nobody will see it coming.

Yeah, yeah, that's perfect. 1

great idea, Justin, What do you

I think right, AJ?

Justin.

Yeah, I.

Love the voice.

When Yeah, Justin said OK and

they.

Did a great idea, yeah.

Justin did.

Little does he have his

helicopter.

The Japanese is will love it

the.

Japanese.

So.

Yeah, well the Cohiba Specter is

a flagship release of the non

Cuban Cohiba brand.

The General Cigar Company has an

even more exclusive and

expensive Cohiba C8 and 2021.

The company introduced the first

Cohiba C8A7 Half and 54 Double

Corona that was sold in a 10

count briefcase that were priced

at $5000.

In a briefcase, this is.

A fraction of the cost and

comparable.

Since then there have been no

more C8 releases.

Didn't work?

Yeah, couldn't solve it and bad

idea.

You know, no, you don't know if

it was a bad idea.

The meeting happens and the guy

said, you know what?

Well, this thing didn't work out

that well.

And then everybody looked around

like, yeah, but you did it.

It was a great idea.

It was worth a shot.

We don't know what happened.

You know we had like 5 bucks.

Into it, they don't know which.

We had $5 into it.

It's fine.

It's no big deal.

We didn't lose anything.

At least not until next month,

when the C8 will return in a

Nuva Tolan blend.

But the problem it was, it was

the vitola and the blend.

Not the cigar, not the price.

It was the shape and the size.

Oh, we're going to redo.

It this time it's a 7 by 50.

Churchill looks much more like

250.

Dollars solid too.

Yeah, it uses a wrapper from

2018 harvest in Halapa,

Nicaragua over a Connecticut

broadly binder from 2021 and 3

fillers.

I think we're going about this

the wrong way.

Not one filler, not 2.

We should charge more for our

cigars.

When you when you pick out

tobacco because you've gone

through this process before,

right?

You've seen the tobacco places,

OK.

Does it say on it the year?

Scribbled on a little piece of

paper that's under the rubber

band on the top.

You know, here's the problem.

It's like this can be all of

this is like circumstantial.

You can say the 2000 Habano

seed, it could be a seed from

2000 right?

Like that was a thing for a

while and then makes.

You think that tobacco's from?

10 and then it wouldn't burn,

right?

They were eliminated the fact

that it said 2000 thousand.

Take that, 2000.

Start calling it Habano.

Take that 2000 off top of that

thing that fucker didn't.

Burn so you know, is it it could

be 2021 broadleaf, it could be a

seed from 2021 like who knows it

could it could mean so many

different things.

So these are just marketing?

Correct.

Tools.

Correct.

OK.

And, and I don't pick out

tobacco.

I'm not qualified for that.

I'm the guy in the bodega.

Wait, wait.

We're gonna.

Act the places.

We're gonna act this out.

I'm the guy in the bodega that

has the tobacco.

You're the buyer.

You're coming in looking for a

certain.

Year.

There we go.

So come on in.

Hi do you have any 2021

broadleaf?

One moment, yes, right here.

And I asked for a different

year.

What about you know what,

instead of the 2021 broadleaf?

I'm really looking forward to

like a 2020 Ecuadorian bound.

Do you have a 2020 Ecuadorian?

Bound.

Can you look over there maybe?

It's Yeah, Let me check over

here.

Oh, look it right.

Here, there it is.

Oh my God, that's amazing.

Perfect.

I'll take it.

How much is it?

$259, which is also the price of

the cigar.

Each cigar will have an MSRP of

$249.99.

And cigars are packaged in

tubes.

That's how we get them.

This time with tube we lower it

a penny and we put it in a tube.

Put them in a tube.

Oh.

It's so pretty.

What's your place inside a 16

count box?

C8 is about more than rarity,

it's about precision, said Shawn

Williams, brand ambassador for

Cohiba, in a press release.

And non collaborator of A Cigar

House's podcast Short Clips.

Yes, every leaf and every detail

were selected.

Create a cigar that captures

Cohiba's commitment to quiet

mastery.

Not Cigar Hustler Podcast.

Yes, stay away from them.

Stay away from them.

Don't talk to all those boys.

All right, Alec Bradley's got a

new cigar.

Oh, of course he does.

Alec and Bradley, I always

thought it was one person.

Well, didn't they cut their

portfolio tremendously recently?

Well.

Apparently they put all the

tobacco into this one cigar.

Wait till you hear OK the 228

shipping next week on Monday,

November 3rd, the 2025 edition

of the Alec Bradley Fine and

rare begin shipping to storage,

which is the concept is the

same.

It looks a bit different.

Formerly it's known as the Alec

Bradley rare and fine 228 a 7 by

50 Churchill.

Like the previous 13, Fine and

Rare releases an addition that

dates back to 2011, and the

cigar uses 10 different types of

tobacco. 10. 10/1 wrapper, 2

binders, 7 fillers.

Scar named Overkill.

The rapper is from Honduras.

It sits atop 2 binders, 1 from

Honduras and the other from

Esteli.

OK, two rappers or the binders

is from Esteli?

Rapper is from Honduras.

OK, 2 binders, 1 from Honduras

and the other from Esteli.

OK, double binder.

OK. 7 fillers.

Crilo, Dominican Republic,

Jamestran, Honduras.

Jamestran.

What?

Homestran.

Yeah, well, they have it twice.

I don't understand why.

Two things of Homestran.

Yeah, well, they could be

different, like you could have a

visa, different year.

I mean you could have a SECO,

you know.

Halapa from Nicaragua, Mexican

San Andreas so.

Filler Mexican San Andreas

Filler.

Yes.

Homestran double OK.

Throw in some more Nicaraguan

from Esta Lee, some more

Nicaraguan from Halapa.

Say it right?

Nikki Raguan, Thank you.

Eat cigars and MSRPF 10 tobaccos

now, gentlemen, 10 tobaccos.

Boots or you want me to go

first?

I'll go first.

OK, this should be $3.

It's. $8.

He said three.

Yeah, 1999.

What?

It's got 10 different tobaccos.

OK.

Forgot it.

I won't understand why it's

called the 22.

A, but it's a Honduran wrapper.

Yes.

That should be the most

expensive part of the cigar.

But they put it into the you.

Don't even know if that's in the

cigar.

He said it was a Honduran

wrapper.

Well, not Honduran.

I believe him.

He's going, but that's just what

it says.

It's called the 228 for

absolutely no reason.

There's 228 types of tobacco in

it.

It's being made available to

American brick and mortar

retailers.

As with every other fine and

rear releases, his guards are

made at Racy's Cubanas and

Honduras.

Oh this is a fine and rear.

Yes, a lot of the fine and rears

are pretty damn good.

I said fine and rear 12 times.

The first 3 lines of the I

didn't.

Hear you say it, you must have

said it differently.

Different than fine and right?

Yeah, I said different than

fine, and I said rare and fine.

Maybe you do.

That totally confused me.

We are delighted with the newest

version of the Alec and Bradley

Fine and Rare series, said

Bradley Rubin, brand ambassador

for Alec Bradley.

And our friend.

After extensive testing of aged

tobacco is a meticulous blending

process, we feel confident that

the Fine and Rare 228 is one of

the most luxurious and rewarding

cigars we've ever produced.

With the talented artesians at

Racy's Cubanas.

Fine and Rare was launched in

2011, described as the effort to

push the limits of a complex

cigar blending by using 10

different tobaccos for a single

blend.

The packing of this year's

release marks a substantive

change for the series since

Scandinavian tobacco group Alec

and Bradley and Early bought

Alec and Bradley in 2023 and

says no more fancy boxes.

No mas.

No mas, all right.

Oh, there's more information

about that cigar.

Wow, look at that.

Wouldn't hold them, but.

Have they always made their

cigars at that factory?

This one, this one they have.

They made a.

Couple they made from well, they

made a lot from that factory,

but they made a couple from

other places as well.

OK, that's a good businessman.

You know you can't say you.

Can't say you got a great

moustache.

Bradley Yeah, talking about his

dad.

I guess his dad is.

Oh, I've never seen pictures of

his dad.

Alan Rubin.

I don't think so.

I know the fake Alan Rubin.

You know, fake Alan Rubin.

Yeah, but I don't know really.

Totally different, Alan Rubin.

Totally different, Alan.

Rubin Yeah, way less successful.

Takes a lot more naps.

Very nappy.

Arturo Fuente Rare pink, Vintage

1960s black pink Slated for late

2025 arrival.

Oh, what the hell is that?

You said a rare pink.

Black the rare.

Pink, black.

All right, hold on.

The rare pink vintage 1960s.

OK, Black, pink.

Slated for 2025.

Arrival.

Is this like pre Cameroon or

something?

I don't know, completely

different cigar.

It's already been an abnormally

busy year for our Toro Fuente

product launches, and there are

plans for more before the

calendar turns to 2026.

Toro Fuente A Fuente will offer

retailers who are members of the

TAA the first shipments of his

upcoming Notoro Fuente Rare Pink

Vintage 1960s BLACKPINK, A

darker spin on the existing Rare

Pink line, which itself is a

spin off on the company's

Hemingway series.

Blend Wise Blackpink, not to be

confused with Rare Pink, uses a

Habano seed wrapper grown in

Connecticut over a blend of

Dominican fillers.

There, it is no Cameroon for

you.

It will be offered in four

vitola's which are which share

pricing with the rare pink

counterparts.

This is what happened with

Ashton.

This is what they did with the

Heritage.

Very getting infusing.

They transitioned over to

Himano.

Toro Fuente rare pink vintage

Blackpink signatures.

There's a 6 by 4613 dollars.

There's a Ford 7/8 by 4614

dollars.

Let me just call it the hat. 5

1/2 by 53.

Hat Edition.

Turf Wendy Rare Pink Vent.

OK, the names are just so long.

The Black Panther vitola will be

priced the same as the rare pink

sophisticated Hooker, though the

two vitolas do not share the

same measurements or name. 1 is

the sex worker, and the other's

a 1970s powerful, controversial

black political organization.

Oh wow.

Did I really say that or did you

add that?

I added that part.

But it was comparing, but it was

comparing the two cigars.

Charlie could have done that or

you could have done that.

I mean that could have gone

either.

Way the two cigars are very

similar except the names being

completely different.

Things I was thinking in my

head, I was like, did he say

Black Panther at one point?

Yes, that's the name of the the

Black Panther.

Yeah, and not the Wakanda about

Black Panther.

That guy was awesome.

The 1970s.

One of the best Marvel movies of

all time, right?

Terrell Fuente plans to ship the

first batch of black Pink in

December.

Not rare pink.

We already have those.

The company expects to keep the

Black Pink as an exclusive for

TA retailers around six months,

though it's unclear how many

shipments the amount that

amounts to at some .2026 the

line will offer to retailers

that are not members of the TA.

And so first the TA members get

black pink and not many move

because the car because the rare

pinks just came out and then

they released the black pinks to

everyone.

Is that that's your theory?

The Black Pink is not part of

the TAA series but will be

offered to them first.

So it's not so that's TAA

series, but only TAA people.

It's not the TAA spinning wheel

I think.

It's.

That's how it works.

They take care of the.

They have a thing where they

spin a wheel.

This is not part of that this

dream machine.

Dream machine's gone, buddy.

It's no longer there.

Yeah, that's what.

What's?

Well then what's the TAESP

program?

I don't know.

That's what these are not a part

of, yeah.

So it's but.

TA people get it first right?

Is ESP part where you have to

donate the money back?

You're going to have to donate

money to this I would assume.

Maybe not.

No, back to the TA.

Yeah, I know.

That's what I'm just saying.

I don't know.

I don't know either.

I don't know.

We know.

Oh, we know.

The TA gets this first.

Yeah, yeah.

If they wanted after they just

got all the rare pinks.

Can you imagine if I get invited

to the TA and when they're like

I'm I would dude.

I would change my I'd wear like

a suit all the time.

I am ATAA member ha ha excuse me

EUP on retailer I'm now TA some

of.

The people I saw in the

pictures, I was surprised they

were TA members.

Yeah, we can talk about it on a

different show.

OK.

Casa Carrillo.

Jack gets mad when I say

Carrillo.

Yeah.

Carrillo ships Perez Carrillo

Battleborn Carrillo Carrillo the

Perez Carrillo Battleborn, I

just said.

It but you yelled over me, the

Perez.

It is Perez.

OK, let me see.

Carrillo Battleborn, a new

limited edition cigar from Casa

Carrillo that pays tribute to

the veterans of the US Armed

Forces and helps to raise the

funds for organizations that

support veterans, is on its way

to stores in time for veteran's

day.

The Lion was inspired by Lionel

H McCoy, AUS, Navy veteran and

an individual described as a

long time member of the Carrillo

family.

McCoy served for two decades,

reaching the rank of petty

Officers Second Class, with

deployments on the USS Midway,

the USS Forester and the USS

Dwight D Eisenhower during the

Gulf War and Operation Desert

Storm.

We had Navy and Desert Storm.

It's in the desert.

Yes, OK.

It's important.

Following his service, he joined

Carrillo as the company's

shipping manager in 2017.

You know, because he was on a

lot of different ships, so they

made the shipping.

Manager.

Yeah, I might say that about

him.

We got a job for you.

Oh.

Ship one shipped.

Oh yeah, no.

You final is part of our family,

Saturnesto in a press release.

He served our country for 20

years, cared responsibilities

most of us will never know, and

then came here to work alongside

US.

I'll never forget my first

conversation with him about his

time in these servers and all

the boats he was on.

At one point he got emotional

and a tear ran down his face and

that moment I knew I was in the

presence of a.

True hero, like the Indian with

the garbage.

Yes, and Battleborn was

conceived right there.

The one tear.

You're crying Battleborn.

I'm amazing.

He's a Battleborn.

The Carrillo Battleborn comes in

a 6 by 56 Toro Gordo that the

company has dubbed Warriors.

Glenn used to say Connecticut

broad leaf rapper 2 Minders.

Listen, listen.

I'm sorry.

Warriors.

I can't do.

I can't roll my Rs.

I can't roll my Rs.

Do it, Can't roll my Rs.

It's not the same.

One from Mexico, the other from

Nicaragua.

I can't roll my Rs.

I'd like to see.

Battleborn.

That's the way I'm going to say

because I can't roll my R.

Warriors.

Warriors, I can't roll my RI

can't do it.

Do it.

I can't do it.

We're moving on, Michael.

It's a rich, full body smoke.

Each of the 2500 individually

numbered boxes of 20 cigars

includes a Battleborn logoed dog

tag.

Individually, cigars are priced

at how much is a warrior?

Gee, I can't do it.

Thank you $18.00 Boots. 16. 22.

I win.

I've been making blends for 55

years, but this one felt

different, says Ernesto Junior

in a press release.

Battleborn is not just about

tobacco, it's about respect

rolled into every leaf.

It's our way of saying thank

you.

OK, here's my question.

If a brand comes out with an LE

almost every month, is it OK or

is it not OK?

Is.

It an LE.

Is it still an Ellie at that

point?

Is it, I just want to know is

that do you think that you're

kind of saturating your consumer

at that point or do you think

that it's, hey, no problem.

Well, that was kind of what

happened to the not lost and

found guy, but provided club,

right, He was coming out with a

new one every month.

L ES.

Well that was his thing.

The cigars were one and done's

each.

Each time went in I mean.

But then they came back out

again a couple times.

Was that because he had some

left that nobody bought, or

because he made them again?

I don't know.

I mean, I, I don't think it's

OK.

No, I think, I think, yeah, I

think you're definitely.

Saturated.

This is not OK.

Yeah, I, I mean, I think you can

have a couple of releases per

year of L ES.

Right, I agree with that.

Yeah, but I don't think every

month.

Not every every month.

Too much.

Yeah, too much.

So what's the line?

I think quarterly 2 to 3.

Two to three, four a month.

What about maybe four?

Yeah, 4.

Four a month or four year, we're

done 4.

You're talking four year Max. 4

would be the limit, yeah.

Okay, a lot of people call them

limited, but they're not really.

But it just generates a little

bit more.

It's unlimited, yeah.

Well, I mean, what defines a

limited cigar?

Right.

She got.

To make so many and they've done

1000.

Right, 1000 cigars would make it

limited.

No 1000 boxes. 1000 boxes, well

and at the 20 count box with

20,000 cigars, sure.

So 20,000's the line at

Unlimited.

Oh, I think.

Yeah, it's what I'm going at.

For limited, I think the way.

To be honest, I think the way

Mikey did the Bangarang and the

Hushacha is the correct way to

do it.

Say to him.

We have a limited that we're

about to release.

We have 1000 boxes.

We have 1000 boxes.

Don't we have 1000 boxes?

Of eight count.

Yeah.

Oh, we have.

Oh, that's 8 count.

Though that's 8000.

Sticks. 8000 sticks.

That's one. 20,000 Buddy.

Number box.

Oh, I'm going with number boxes.

You can put one in each one if

you want.

I don't care.

I.

Don't think it works that way,

yeah.

Sure you can.

That's called a coffin.

Oh, I mean you.

Know there was a story this week

about a coffin cigar that just

came out that I refused to

cover.

Oh, good for you.

Stand your ground.

I.

Don't even know what you're

talking about, but I like it.

I like that you muted it because

you know.

Some things do not need to be

discussed.

We're just like Coop.

We control the media.

We.

Control the media.

We're going to talk in the

Patreon.

Difference between media and a

podcast.

Huge difference.

Well, don't give it away now,

people want to know.

We got a lot of comments on the

Patreon guys from last week, did

we?

Yes.

The Patreon show, yes.

That's exciting.

I'm glad they're listening.

Yeah, and you know, you guys

should sign up for the Patreon.

Yeah.

Oh yeah, Do us all a.

Favor a lot more stuff going on

over there.

Yeah, and we need the money.

Even Jack.

Like this week's?

Patreon.

It's way more uncut than the

regulars though.

And this.

Chills.

Yeah, we think we talk shit

here.

This is pretty uncut.

Right, because we don't take

ads, it's been explained.

We did.

Did you like that?

That was a good video this.

Was pretty good.

All right, Brick House is on

fire.

Of course it.

Is it's ATAA exclusive scheduled

for December release.

The brick house is on fire.

JC Newman has announced that the

2025 exclusive for the DAA is a

new brick house.

Specifically, it's the Brick

House is on fire that is the

name the 6 by 50 Toro.

Blend wise, it uses a standard

Brick house blend, an Ecuador

and Habana wrapper over binder

from Mickey Ragwa.

JC Newman does not sell a 6 by

50 brake house.

Instead, the Brake House Toro

measures 6 by 52.

This is something completely

different.

I don't read the script, script

read me.

Each cigar is an MSRP of $12.00

in production is limited to 1000

boxes of 10 cigars.

OK, expected to ship in

December.

So it's a 6 by 52. 6 by 50.

It's a 6 by 50 and that's why

it's called The Brick House is

on Fire.

Yes, because they make a 6 by

52.

This is something different.

So 6 by 50 it's smaller smaller.

It's a little bit.

It's on fire.

It's so good.

It's on fire.

It's on fire.

All right.

I mean, Brick House is pretty

good for what it is for his

price point.

Don't think I've ever had to

give him.

I'll give him that what I don't.

Think I've ever had a brick

house?

Yeah.

No, it's no, it's not bad.

Casa Carrillo, Cle Crown Heads,

Fiero Tego, JC Newman, Knuckle

Sandwich Cigars, La Florida,

Dominicana and Placencia have

all announced their TAA 2025 ESP

releases.

OK.

Those are the only people that

made special cigars for them.

So they're and they're like 40

manufacturers or is it 40

retailers?

Yeah, I think it's 40

manufacturers.

You didn't.

Even hear about all 40.

I wonder who all 40 is are.

All right, now it's time for

everybody's favorite game show.

Whoa, we.

Didn't do it.

No, you didn't.

One more time I.

favorite game show.

It's time for What's the score?

Whoa.

I think they were doing.

Whoa, you like that?

We don't care which one it is.

It doesn't matter.

Just how do you I'm gonna have

button he hits over there.

Because you guys can't be.

Dependent.

We can do it.

You just got.

First Cigar for the Day came out

on October 27th, 2025.

It's reviewed by Brooks

Whittington.

Oh, it's a limited edition

cigar.

It is a It's the Tetua Hey The

Mummy Redux 5.

Redux 5.

Redux 5.

Cinco So he made, I think he

made 13 monsters total.

Yeah.

So this is probably #5 right?

I don't know.

Yeah, this is the one that just

came out.

Yeah, that we just had upstairs.

So we started re releasing them.

OK.

That's why it's Redux 5.

It's Brooks.

It's the toy, right?

You want me to go first or you

go first?

You go first.

I'll go 92.

Yeah, this is.

I've had this cigar.

Have you?

Yeah, this is a good cigar.

Where'd you get it from?

I got it from Chet.

Where did he get it?

I don't know the original.

No, no, this is not the

original.

This is the one that came out

this.

Year.

The Redux, that shit.

You know what?

He likes the monster cigars

because it's the Halloweeny

thing.

Yeah, he loves.

The bandit dust, we don't even

see him anymore.

No, not without spending money

on at other.

Other cigar places or anything?

Yeah, he no longer loves.

His his It wouldn't be his

mother-in-law yet, but his soon

to be mother-in-law buys him

cigars.

Not from here.

So not from here, she doesn't.

Yeah, I don't think she lives

there.

She like, ships him cigars,

usually.

San Cristo balls for some.

Reason.

All she got to do is operation

order.

We can pick it up.

It's a love chat that's.

Where I go used to used to be a

really good friend.

Used to be my homie, used to be

my ace, all right?

Anyways.

Anyways, I think I yeah, I think

90, that's a pretty good. 90

that's.

A pretty good #9290, correct?

That's where we're at, right?

Now I'll go 90.

Yeah, that's fine. 9290 Yeah,

that's a start, all right.

It's a Nikki Ragwin cigar from

My Father's cigars.

It's a Nicaraguan Creolo

wrapper.

OK, Nikki Raguan binder.

Yes.

Nikki Raguan filler 7 and three

quarter inches by 47.

It's round.

Sells for $13.

Release date September 2025.

And he smoked 31 cigar.

Only one.

Only.

One, is he going to comment

about the one with the tissue in

the middle of it?

I hope he does all right.

I'm.

I think I'm going to stick 92

right now.

I.

Stick 90 has no reason to

change.

All right, editor's note does

not count as a clue.

Oh, this is one of the rare

cases when we are doing a redux

review of a new version of a

cigar and not an age sample of a

cigar we have already reviewed,

right?

Says Charlie Minato.

Just you guys are clear, this is

a brand new cigar, not an age

cigar.

Yeah, he's not going back and

saying now we're smoking this.

Correct, Right, All right, clue

#1 The first half begins with an

aggressive combination of spices

on my tongue, including black

pepper and coffee beans, but the

main flavors of toasted cedar

and powdery cocoa nibs quickly

take over the profile.

Secondary flavors of cinnamon,

sourdough bread, herbs, sawdust,

gritty earth and rich coffee

beans filled in and out.

Gritty Earth.

While the combination of black

pepper, indistinct brown sugar

sweetness is present on the

retro hail. 91.

Let's take 90.

The construction is fantastic so

far with a razor sharp burn line

and abundance of thick off white

smoke and an amazing draw.

Brooks has to review all of my

cigars moving forward, just for

the record.

How do you get all those flavors

and you're able to keep it

straight?

He must be eating a smorgasbord

in front of him.

Like 75 different things like I

just tasted sawdust what's that

sawdust?

I just.

Ate the next level Buddy 91. 90.

Clue #3 When it comes to

construction, I touch up the

burn once close to the end of

the cigar, but the draw remains

excellent and smoke production

continues to be copious until I

am finished after two hours and

13 minutes of smoking time.

He loves tatsuye to to tell you

how much time.

Is he doing something else for

that two hours and 13 minutes or

he just writing down notes from

the cigar He's.

Just he's just.

Locked in, Lord.

Gritty Earth bro come on, you're

not watching something.

How do you taste Gritty Earth 92

I.

Don't know what gritty earth

tastes like?

Well, he literally.

Does taste Smoke them?

Smoke them on me.

You'll get there.

He literally went outside and

just started eating the ground.

He's like, yeah, you know what?

That's it, That's it.

I can't.

I can't really tell what this

is.

Maybe if I lick the ground?

Yep, you have gritty hair there.

You go Was that sawdust?

Was the neighbor cutting wood?

Yeah, there it is.

Yeah.

All right, buds, what's your

score?

90. 9091 still.

I want 92. 9290 Final Thoughts

I've often said that the

original Tetua Hey Black Label

Corona Gorda remains one of the

best non Cuban cigars I've ever

smoked, and the quality of the

blend has been consistently

proven through numerous

different vitolas and

alliterations.

The Mummy Redux 5 is a fantastic

version of the blend, combining

clean, familiar flavors.

Gritty Earth is a familiar

flavor of cinnamon and creamy

cedar, with some slightly

surprising notes such as peanut

butter and grapefruit into a

bold yet balanced profile that

is unapologetically Nicaraguan

just.

Stop being racist.

Throw in the amazing

construction, Seriously, other

than one minor correction, I

could not ask for a straighter

burn line or a better draw from

the first puff to the last, and

I'm left with one of the best

Monster Redux releases so far,

bar none.

That's it, That's it.

Have you smoked it, Mikey?

No, I just sold them all.

That's good.

Yeah, they went out pretty

quick. 92 I'm going to stay 92.

Brooks loves tattoi, that is

apparent, but it is a good scar.

Brooks is a cigar geek.

Yeah, it's a good cigar.

I think 92 is going to be the

number, but I'll, I'll go.

I'm going to.

He can say the same number if he

wanted to.

Good you can do.

Whatever.

Yeah, but we don't like to do

that.

We don't like the tie.

That's true.

I'm going to go 91. 92 should

have went for the tie man.

I tried to give you a little

hint I figured.

I tried to lay it up for you.

I was like, no, just do it.

But we don't like the tie.

We don't like to do the tie

thing.

That's true.

Well, he does it because he

likes to win, but he could have

fucked him and done the tie.

All right, second cigar for the

day.

Before you go, yes, that that's

a good number for that cigar,

right?

That was like.

I, I haven't smoked it, but I'm,

I'm, I'm sure that it qualifies

for that, yeah.

Like, is Pete gonna bring us

some?

Pete could bring us some?

I asked, did you?

I did, but like realistically,

let's say he brings two boxes

and the guys there want the

boxes, right?

Like if Julian wants a box, the

Julian I.

Meant like just a couple of that

you and I could have.

You know, we're in the, we're in

the.

You won't be here for the

interview.

You don't work the interviews.

You got to go do your DJ

business.

Yeah, you got to buy the ticket.

We're in the selling cigar.

All right, Next you just say,

oh, you're no longer a member

down here.

Remember, you backed out.

We miss you.

We want we want you back.

Maybe you come back.

Well, I become rich, I will.

OK, this is.

It's not that rich.

No, I know, but I mean when I

become rich.

You don't have to be super rich

to be a member here.

You just have to have more than

20 bucks.

OK, that's fair.

That's not rich.

More than 20 bucks?

Not rich.

OK, I'm sorry.

Go ahead.

October 16th, 2012.

Brooks Whittington again?

Tetuahe.

This is the original Tetuahe,

the mummy.

Both.

Of them OK, and.

He got a full kid.

Rare opportunity here to do the

same thing this is.

Awesome.

OK, you're up there, slugger.

I'm just going to say 92.

I was wrong.

I'm gonna go 91.

Country of Origin Niki Ragwa

Factory My Father's Cigars

Rapper Nikki Ragwa Sun Grown

Creolo Binder Nicaraguan Fillers

Nikki Ragwin size 7 three

quarter by 47 Churchill Still

$13.

Same as your room, same as the

second one and number of cigars

released.

A Churchill 7 by 47, I guess OK.

Number of cigars release 666.

Those are boxes. 666 boxes.

Yes, 13 cigars, so 3100 plain I

don't.

Know I'm immersed in the Satuai

information right now so.

All right, number of cigars

smoked with a review free. 3. 3

free.

OK.

Yeah, same 92. 91.

Clue #1.

I love Pete Johnson.

The first thing you notice about

the mummy is the size of the

cigar.

It's quite long when held in the

hand and has a nice heft to it.

I have small hands.

The wrapper is a nice reddish

mocha brown color and has some

oil present.

It is fairly smooth to the

touch, although there are some

bumps up and down the length.

Some bumps.

Was that really a cigar he was

holding?

I don't think.

Wow bro.

Few bumps.

Back to the Johnson jokes,

slightly tan.

Slightly reddish.

Is that it was.

That the that was a clue.

OK, 92.

It's bumpy, it's long, it's got

a nice hefty.

It's very oily.

It's got some oil, some slight

oil, some leftover oil, 91

straight to hell 91.

Did Buch already say his?

Yeah, 92.

Coming into the second third of

the mummy and the cinnamon note

is now the dominant note, but

it's not overwhelming and the

other notes of earth, espresso

and cedar are starting to pick

up in intensity.

The black pepper from the first

third has decreased as well, but

is very much in evidence on the

retro hill.

The profile is more creamy

overall and I can still taste a

slight fruity sweetness, but I

can't place it as of yet.

Where do I place the fruit?

92. 91.

Oh God, clue #3 the sweetness

has increased enough for me to

identify it.

Oh good, it's cherry sweetness,

but still not a dominant flavor

by any means.

Thankfully, the cinnamon note is

still present as the black

pepper on the retro hail, and

they both combined quite nicely

with the rest of the flavors to

in the cigar.

That was the third clue. 92 but

and then we have final thoughts.

Yes, I think there's this one.

I'm going to go 91.

I'm always interested to see

what Pete has up his sleeve when

the Monster releases come

around.

While it is longer than the

cigars I normally like to smoke,

he's really upset about the

length there.

The blend in the Mummy holds up

quite well to the size.

Complex enough to easily keep my

attention during the entire

smoke, strong enough to let me

know I'm smoking a medium plus

blend and never really getting

bored.

The construction was close to

perfect on every one of the

three samples.

Excuse me?

I smoked and the smoke

production was a nice addition.

I like the Mummy a bit better

than the Wolf Man from last year

and I can easily recommend

buying a box or two.

Having said that, the recent

Black Label Cubillera is the

better smoked flavor wise,

albeit not by much, and the

always wonderful original

release Black Label Petite

Lanzero is still one of the best

examples of the blend.

But if you're looking for the

signature Black Label profile in

a longer smoke, you have found

it.

Did he just plug a different

cigar at the end of the?

Review for what?

It's all.

That's why.

That's all that.

Oh, I thought it was.

Not Black Label Trading Company,

which is kind of odd.

Now that you mentioned that he's

got a black label and there's a

company black label, right?

You think that there would be

some?

Conflict.

There was Black Label out when

this was done.

No, I don't think so.

Are you talking about the Tattoo

High cigar?

He he had a problem with the

shape of a box.

He does a great job protecting

his brand, right?

Right.

I'm going to go 90.

Did you just look that shit up?

I just looked it up.

I'm right here.

What do you type in right here?

The review was almost identical

to it was the 13 years later.

Other than the end.

He said a little bit of touching

up.

He used very similar references

for the flavour profile.

Other than gritty Earth.

He still said earthy.

He said no sawdust though and.

Then sawdust must have been

something that he.

That's been something, he added

later.

His palate has developed into

well and.

It sounded like he he definitely

likes this black tatua.

He mentioned that, but he

mentioned that in the previous

one as well.

Yes, not as much though are.

You OK?

Are we getting tired?

Are we keeping you up?

Apparently.

It was nap time at the Yeah it.

Was nap time at the home?

At the home to OK Palmer, let's,

I'm going.

To get my pudding in my nap.

Oh, that'd be great actually.

See, don't knock it, man.

It's a wonderful.

Life.

I'm going to go 91.

And what did he say, 9091?

It's A2 Fer for the king this

week.

Really not.

He only went up one on the

redox.

Yep, you got to think about it.

It's like a.

Completely different cigar,

yeah.

Well, it's the exact same cigar.

It had a different blend.

There was different tobacco in

it.

There was, yeah.

The Redux has a little bit

different tobacco in it.

Yeah, because things taste

differently at that time.

And if you're going back to try

and make it taste the same, you

have to modify.

All right.
