ACHP Episode 434 Teleportation The Future Is Now
Transcript
There we go.
Welcome to a Cigar Hustler
podcast episode 434.
I'm Mike Palmer, your host and
today with Boots the Engineer
and my Co host Mike Stefan
Kevich, we are doing one of the
last five new shows of 2025.
This show will air Monday,
December 22nd.
And then on the 23rd we'll have
a new show.
The 24th we'll have a special
interview with Santa Claus, 25th
will be a rerun, 26th will be a
rerun, and then the 29th will be
a new show.
And then this December 30th, we
will have the last new show of
2025.
You're serious to that?
Well, yeah, for, I don't think
that you have that completely
accurate, but it sounds close,
yeah.
I looked on the calendar.
I think you'll have a show on
the 26th if you record on the
24th the.
One on the Today I'm not.
Recording on the 24th.
You're not recording on the 20.
4th You're right, you got it.
You're right.
Thank you very.
Much I like how our interest got
really boring, though.
Yeah, what happened?
Yeah, I'm with Boots.
But it it was just, it's the end
of the week.
It's the end of the week.
He's fatigued.
I'm fatigued.
I'm tired.
He's tired.
But that last show though, we'll
do a recap for 2025, and I think
there'll be at least one list
out by then, if not 2.
We should talk, you know, we're.
Doing our cigars.
I think that.
We talked about doing that
people.
Should comment below about what
their favorite episode was or
their favorite thing that
happened this year on our show
and maybe we can talk about some
of those things 'cause I I don't
remember any of them.
Yeah, boot shirt, you know.
Boot shirt, Yeah, you know.
If there's one they'd like to
see a rerun of too, they can
always request that and I can
pull that one for one of those
rerun spots.
OK, I wanted to pull the very
first show, but it's only audio.
Yeah, so maybe the first video
show we did.
That thing's brutal.
The black and white looking one.
It's very blurry, very blurry. 1
angle.
One microphone, no camera.
Greg was holding it, doing apov
and all that. 2 girls, 1 Cup.
On today's show, YouTube is the
way of future home entertainment
in South Florida.
You apparently can be teleported
into a brand new BMW.
One of the world's biggest porn
websites was hacked and now we
know what Boots likes to watch
in Polk County.
Measles is back after 29 year
absence in sports.
Peku Nakua, he's in a lot of
trouble.
He looked it up.
He looked it up.
That's not how you say it.
Pakua Nakua.
No, not Pakua.
Paku.
Did I say pakua?
I meant paku.
PACU if you're.
Saying the second way, yes.
Paku Nakua.
That's still not how you say it.
This is awesome.
It's OK, keep going.
Oh, maybe yeah.
Kuda Matata, thank you.
In cigar news, Dabadov has
decided to spend some of that
extra cash they have.
And a $16,000 table cutter and
lighter for Christmas.
And then finally a mini What's
the Score all this?
What a wonderful and the bad for
you industry comments we're
going to make on episode 434
Cigar Hustlers podcasts.
But.
Before we get started, yes
Mikey, how do you get some of
that chapter Putt swag, what do
you want?
Just so you just as a note, I
couldn't tag the hat because
it's not part of our Shopify
page on yesterday's episode.
No, it was not there.
It's there.
It's on the next page.
I searched hat I'm Nope, there's
second page, so I mean the
scroll's way down.
Maybe Greg put it.
On there, I'm telling you, it's
on there.
OK, maybe I missed it my.
Phone, hold on. 2H S. 2H S in
hat.
What you want to do, You know
what, I'm just going to wing
their names.
What you want to do is you want
to go on a chapter pod.com and
check out our latest swag.
Yeah, buy one, get the 2nd 140%
off.
We have 1 Postonia SBC shirt
left.
What size?
It can be any size.
It can be any size.
And then after that, it's it's,
it's going away.
It's kaputzy.
It's going, we're sunsetting
that shirt.
Retired.
Yes, the blackout hoodies are I
think are almost all gone.
I think I have one left and a
weird size.
It's not a weird, it's not a
weird size.
It's just not, you know, it's
not double XL, which is standard
for the cigar industry.
It's a medium.
I don't.
Know.
One Greg would wear.
And if you spend over $100 more,
you're going to get free
shipping.
Shout out to James Daling and
our guy in Minnesota.
Not wherever the hell he said it
was.
Wisconsin.
Ben Willhelm me, he's the guy
that.
Paints.
He's the the guy that paints the
farm.
Equipment.
I know, I know who he.
Is I was saying it for the
audience?
He's a great guy.
He is a great guy and he also
messaged that he wants the
beanies as well, so yes.
Dude, get them beanies.
I am on it.
I will work on it this weekend
and they will be up on the site.
He likes to listen to the show
in the paint booth.
I know.
I was again for the audience.
You say that all the time.
Every time we bring up Ben,
that's what you say.
Thank you, audience.
He's my friend.
Yeah.
All right, YouTube's on the
rise.
If you've ever dreamed of seeing
yourself on TV screens
everywhere, your best bet right
now might not be Hollywood.
It might be YouTube.
For you.
If you want a shot of YouTube
stardoms without putting people
through a mind bending,
borderline sadistic challenges
like Mr. Beast, starting a
podcast could be the way you go.
Yeah.
What used to be an audio only
medium is quickly becoming
something people actually watch,
especially on their televisions.
Do you guys watch the show on
your television at all?
Yeah, our show.
This show, Yeah.
No, I've tried.
It's really weird.
Is it?
It's weird 'cause it's big
watching yourself that big.
I'm on the telly.
I'm on the television.
I watch it in the bar.
Oh.
Yeah, it does.
In the bar.
At the shop.
Oh yeah, he usually takes his
pants off too.
Oh OK, gets excited.
According to Bloomberg, viewers
streamed more than 700 million
hours of podcasts on their TV's
through YouTube in October
alone.
Wow.
That's a massive jump from about
400 million hours during the
same time last year.
That surge isn't an accident.
YouTube has been investing
heavily in podcasts and rolling
out better tools to help users
discover shows, especially on
smart TV's where podcast viewing
is quietly exploding.
Investing.
Where did we miss that?
They are investing well, Mike,
the mailman told me yesterday,
he says.
I don't even miss you anymore.
I see you on the TV so much.
See you all the time.
See you all the time.
Thanks.
We well, we have started showing
up in people's shorts
recommended shorts feeds.
Really.
I see it on my I mean it's on
mine all the time.
My wife has had friends call her
and go hey we saw your husband
on the TV.
Right.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
But YouTube isn't the only
player fighting for those
eyeballs.
Spotify has launched A dedicated
program to support video podcast
and recently updated Apple TVTV
app to lean further into video.
And Netflix?
They're officially stepping into
the podcast arena, too.
This week, Netflix announced
exclusive streaming deals with
iHeartRadio and Barstool Sports,
deals that specifically banned
full episodes from being posted
on YouTube.
Oh, full episodes?
You can't do you.
Can still do short clips you.
Can do short clips.
Why would you not want to do
short clips on YouTube and get
people to jump over to the
Netflix, you know?
We're in.
Yeah, makes sense.
So the podcast wars are
officially moving to the living
room.
What started as a background
noise for commutes and workouts
is now prime time big screen
content.
And for creators, a message is
clear.
Podcasts aren't just something
you listen to anymore.
There's something you watch.
Remember the beginning?
I had to fight you to do a
video.
You didn't want to really.
Yep, that was what, 6 1/2 years
ago or whatever?
So.
Well, you're a genius.
We would not be where we are
today if it wasn't for you.
Or Greg, 'cause you used his
office.
Yeah, we did.
I miss having.
I miss kicking him out.
That was always fun.
You gotta get out Mondays.
You gotta get out.
But I'm working.
We don't care.
Get out.
Sometimes we didn't even do a
podcast.
Right.
We just kicked.
We just kicked him out.
You know what's funny is.
Sat in there and smoking our
feet up.
I'm I'm looking at some of the
other podcasts in in the Space
and all of a sudden they're
starting to look more like us
than vice versa.
Ain't that something, huh?
Crazy.
Crazy.
Yeah, it's cool.
That's cool to see.
Hey, followers will be
followers.
It doesn't upset me.
I'm not like, oh, 'cause we're
not the originators of any of
this, you know what I mean?
We do set the standard.
We've copied someone else.
Yeah, but we will outwork you
without question.
Oh yeah man, your your once a
week show.
Yeah, that's cute.
Yeah, we're going pedal to the
metal here.
Soon to be two shows a day.
What?
There's no way there's not
enough information out there to
do 2 shows a day you.
Have to talk about something
else completely different.
Right.
We'd have to have a podcast
about something completely
different.
Women's problems.
Women's problems.
We'll do, we'll do like a view
at night.
Would be cancelled so fast.
You'd be surprised.
I bet they'd love us to talk.
About their We haven't been
cancelled yet buddy.
It means if we do a ladies.
Process, I know, but I'm saying
as far as our show's concerned,
you think?
That they can't cancel us.
Yeah.
Oh, I will tell you this.
So so I haven't been on.
I don't go on TikTok as much
anymore, but I did jump on and
there was one of our clips and
somebody wrote two betas or
something like that, like 2
betas.
This is like we're two weak
males post.
Maybe they mean YouTube, maybe
it's not me.
No, they didn't even realize
that Boots is there.
It's definitely you and I.
Every time I log into Tick Tock,
it says you uploaded a video.
Are you auto feeding?
Yeah.
Oh, OK.
All right, Yeah, but I mean,
like, if you know, you're in the
bathroom, you look at TikTok,
I'll go, oh, cigars, a podcast,
uploaded a video, and then I'll
leave, go in the other room, sit
down on the couch, turn back on
again.
Oh, look, he's uploaded another
video.
Yeah.
Son of a bitch.
This guy's crazy.
I see our stuff is reaching
people that don't like cigars as
well.
Oh yeah, I saw a couple of
comments.
Oh, that.
I love that.
Because, you know, they
commented on, you know, cigars
are evil and blah, blah, blah,
or whatever, right?
They're the same and like
they're not the same.
Well, they said like our show
was misinformation or.
Something.
Yeah, Yeah.
We don't.
Dangerous misinformation.
We don't.
We don't check anything.
Oh well, that was the one thing
that I did Fact Check.
Yeah, he he sent him the
article.
Yeah, I said.
Here's here's the chart from the
government buddy before you
start.
Oh, and the smoking.
Yeah.
And then I did have another
moment of weakness where I saw
somebody made a post on Facebook
and they're like, look at this
idiot smoking a cigar as he's
pumping gas.
Like and it like like 30 people
are like, you know what an
imbecile, retard, blah, blah,
like saying all these hurtful
things.
That's not really nice.
And then I said, and I was
inaccurate with what I said, but
it was true.
Like the heat in the in the
cigar is high enough for it to
ignite gas fumes.
However, it's not possible
because of it's not a spark or
like a a light.
Yeah, 'cause it's an ember it it
it's not possible.
I leave mine in the car when I
pump the gas.
Oh, I smoke the cigar.
Oh, I don't.
If I'm going to like Costco or
something, I won't.
I'll keep it in the car.
Yeah.
I always smoke and pump.
But it's always yeah, just don't
light anything.
Yeah, what?
About when you get gas.
Though wow bro.
Driver claims he teleported into
a stolen BMW before Volusia
crashed, Deputies say Volusia
County, Florida 36 year old man
who crashed at BMW convertible
in Volusia County while claiming
to travel over 100 mph said he
didn't steal the car but instead
was teleported into it.
Oh, he's in the looney.
Bin, I believe him.
The crash happened Monday on Old
Dixie Highway in Plantation Oaks
Blvd. after Calvin Curtis
Johnson, 36, stole the car from
Bicentennial Park.
I mean teleported.
In alleged allegedly stole the
car, Yes.
Oh, that's $0.25.
Yeah, according to the Volusia
County Sheriff's Office,
deputies said a man left his BMW
unlocked at the park with the
keys in a closed cup holder.
While the man was walking his
dog, his car was stolen debut,
he said.
A few minutes later, the BMW
crashed and witnessed help the
driver get out of the car,
according to the Sheriff's
Office.
The man told deputies he was
speeding when he crashed and
explained that he didn't steal
the car, adding that he had
teleported into it.
In other news, he was also
charged for possession of crack.
I believe it's possible, I just
think you know.
Anything is possible.
Anything's possible.
Maybe he was.
Maybe he teleported?
Johnson was taken to a hospital
for treatment and will be jailed
on charges of Grand Theft of a
motor vehicle and driving with a
suspended license.
That doesn't seem reasonable.
He was teleported.
I teleported.
He still he still stole it.
Technically it wasn't his, it
just.
Appeared in it.
It's not.
Who knows how that happens?
Should have pulled and then OK.
If it happens, do you pull over?
Maybe he.
Panicked, Stepped on the gas.
0100 miles an hour, Yeah.
Yeah, maybe you teleported from
one of the diddy's freak things
in jail.
Who gets quantum physics?
We don't.
Really watching too much of that
show.
He's.
Back.
He's back on Diddy.
I'm watching too much and we're
over here talking about the
crackhead that says he's
teleporting.
There's nothing to do with
Diddy.
Yeah.
Where's the tie?
It's.
I'm just saying it's just, it's
as believable.
Exactly, exactly.
All right, reminder, please like
your vehicle while you're
enjoying our parks, the
Sheriff's Office said in a
social media post.
And I would imagine activate
your invisible force field so
that people can't teleport into
your car.
Also, while you're at it, like
and subscribe to this podcast.
Yes.
Yeah, I think you just say to to
teleportation.
That that way we can teleport
you into the the studio.
Yeah, if you hit the like and
subscribe button, maybe you
teleport.
Maybe teleport into a more
expensive.
Or, as my dear friend Booth
said, maybe teleport directly to
a ditty party.
Because it's never been.
If he doesn't talk about ditty
and.
Are they still having ditty
parties?
Now the ditty's in jail.
Maybe they're at a different.
Party.
You think they're sending them
videos?
I wish you were here.
They're Facetiming him.
Thanks for all Facetiming him.
FaceTime, I'm in.
FaceTime in Diddy.
He comes in and he's like, you
know, he's like AI don't like a
he's got like a little bot that
he is boxing around.
He still gets to do all his.
All the alleged evil things, all
the Diddy things he likes to do,
yeah.
I feel like me Diddy.
He'd be like, like how Chappelle
portrays him.
Oh, thank you all you want kind,
wonderful people here at my my
freak off.
I'm shutting it down.
I'm shutting it down.
No one's coming.
Nobody's coming anymore.
We're just not doing it.
It's shutting down unless you go
get me this milk from this
Cambodian person.
Breast milk.
Yeah, the Cambodian breast milk
and the balloons.
Was that in the video or
something?
You liked Cambodian breast milk?
The Dave Chappelle skit.
Oh.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought maybe he really liked
Cambodian breast.
Milk.
No, what's crazy is back in the
day, Dave Chappelle made fun of
these freak offs.
Yeah, and made fun of did he,
Oh, in his when you remember the
did you ever watch the Chappelle
Show?
No, I know who he is, but no, I
was not watching the.
Show you should go back and
watch it.
There's a lot of truth in Dave
Chappelle's stuff.
I'm busy watching our show on
YouTube every night.
We have 400, four, 132 episodes.
I'm not even halfway there.
Oh, OK.
All right, boots, bad news.
Pornhub Premium was hacked.
Here's what was reportedly
stolen Pornhub has confirmed a
cybersecurity incident involving
information tied to some of its
Premium users after report
service at the company is being
extorted with sensitive member
data.
Extorted.
Extorted.
With sensitive data.
Yeah, they know all the freaky
shit you look at.
The story were first reported by
tech site Bleeping Computer.
In a statement posted on the
support section of its website,
Pornhub said the issue stemmed
from a third party service, not
its own system.
It's a.
Cookie.
That's what happens when you
accept the cookies.
Accept the cookies.
It's the cookies.
It's always the cookies.
So Boost is definitely a
compromise 'cause he loves
cookies.
Loves cookies.
Yeah, loves cookies.
Peanut butter cookies.
And peanut butter cookies.
A recent cybersecurity incident
involving Mixed Panel, a third
party data analytic provider,
has impacted some Pornhub
Premium users.
Specifically, the situation
affected only select premium
users.
It is important to note this was
not a breach of Pornhub's
premium systems.
Only the darkest options of
premium subscribers.
That's right, only the really
serious VIP premium people,
passwords, payment details,
financial information remain
secure and were not exposed.
Oh thank God this wasn't me.
It's not what they were after.
Why do you pay for it first of
all?
Mixed panelists has denied that
the data came from the separate
November hack, which impacted
other major companies, including
Open AI.
Still, any breach raises
concern, especially given the
sensitive nature of Pornhub's
content.
According to Bleeping Computer,
the hacker group Shiny Hunters
claimed responsibility and said
it obtained hold on this big
number.
It is us, the shiny hunters.
201,211,943 Records of
historical searches and watching
and download activity to Pornhub
Premium accounts.
That's it.
How many?
201 million plus.
Holy, you know that's.
Search results, downloads, and
what you watch.
Yeah, but I bet you on like a
porn website like that.
I bet you that doesn't even.
Doesn't even practice service.
Not even close.
That's just Tuesday.
Right.
Dude, But some people gotta be.
But some people gotta be
scrambling some people.
Because exactly, I'm willing to
bet.
Watching this right now,
scrambling.
I'm willing to bet that some of
them paid for the premium right?
To think that they could look up
really, really evil stuff and
they would be safe.
And now you're never safe on the
Internet.
The shiny hunters.
Shiny hunters.
Ever.
Are coming after you.
You know, when I knew I was
never safe on the Internet,
there was a point in my life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you remember back in the day,
like it was a big thing, the
pirates like videos that were
going to be coming.
Out and that guy from 60.
Minutes showed up in the
kitchen.
When you brought the beer.
Yeah, like Pirate Bay and stuff
like that.
When you when he showed up to a
house with squirt guns and.
Squirt guns and beer and the guy
from 60 minutes was.
There in trouble.
With Squirt.
Guns, she said.
She was 18.
Wow, no, I was teleported here.
No, listen, listen.
So there's a in Virginia who the
big provider is, is Verizon
FiOS.
And I remember I had gotten
Verizon FiOS because I lived in
an apartment.
So everybody had it and I was
pirating movies where I was just
downloading like all the new
stuff, right?
And all of a sudden, I got an
e-mail from Verizon and it said,
hey, we saw that you've been
pirating movies.
If you continue, we will bring
legal actions against you.
Oh.
Wow.
I was like I was just clicking
the e-mail, like making sure it
wasn't like a fake thing.
It was real.
It was legit.
Yeah, it was legit.
I was like, OK, I'm not pirated
in movies anymore.
Go get your go get those five
gift cards and send us all the
codes right away.
The only way, the only way that
this is going to work is if you
go and get you go to Walmart and
if you put it all in gift cards
and drop it into this mailbox.
Right.
It was crazy.
I was like, oh, OK, I'm not
doing this no more.
We need you to pick up some at.
Least they gave you a warning.
Well, there, I mean, yeah, I
guess like, there's no.
How do you really?
Like, have you ever heard of
anybody getting pops for
downloading on Pirate Bay 100
years ago?
Like, oh man.
There used to be, I don't know,
we never played paid for music
back in the 80s.
Yeah, download.
I mean it took all day to
download one song, but still in
the 80s you.
Downloaded stuff in the 80s.
Sure, we started in the late
80s.
Really.
I did.
That's incredible.
Yeah, you weren't even born yet.
I understand that dial up.
So I mean, it took all day long,
you know, to get well, you had
nobody picked up the phone
upstairs, but.
Yeah, I remember he was
government affiliation.
Wow, China and all that.
Are you sure it was the 80s?
Yeah, back then they had what
were called Electronic Bulletin
board services and you would
dial up and it would be some
server a guy had set up in his
house.
You leave a file, you take a
file type thing.
And what would you do with the
song?
Play it through your computer.
You.
Wouldn't put on anything else.
In the 80s, your computer had to
be.
Super small.
Screen humongous CPS there's.
Just one color green.
Or you had it hooked to an old
television.
Yeah, I didn't have a green
monochrome thing.
I had a old TVI.
Think after this piece of
information, I think Palmer's
been sandbagging us on knowing a
lot of technology type of stuff.
He might work for the CIA.
Right.
Oh well.
Yeah.
It's possible he could have just
like that, could have been the
whole plot, like how long you've
been here.
Here.
Yeah, like 11 years.
So they joined 11 years to
infiltrate us.
Yeah, 11 years.
Yeah, this is it.
We.
Had to load Greg into a false
sense of security.
It takes a long time.
He had to get deep in.
We're going down with.
Deep undercover with.
Chenji or whoever.
Chenji Ji Shen from yesterday,
Yeah.
The site reported that Shiny
Hunter sent extortion emails to
Pornhub and claimed the stolen
data includes a premium member's
e-mail address, activity type,
location, video URL, video name,
associated keywords and time
stamps showing when the activity
occurred.
I had a lot of information.
201,000,000 downloads or.
Views or something. 201 files.
201 million files.
You guys remember history in
this?
This is probably nobody in
Florida.
Why not?
Because, you know, in Florida
for Pornhub, it's a law.
You have to every time you get
on it, you have to upload your
ID.
Don't you remember this whole
law?
I remember when the the law
they.
Were talking about doing.
Something I forgot that it
happened, did it.
I thought it was like
Massachusetts or something that
had to do it.
You have to do it in Florida,
too.
Yeah, no, it went through and it
went through to like multiples.
You have to like take a picture
of your ID and upload it.
So do you just for you?
Do you just have?
You just have.
Somebody else's photo.
ID there, is it as easy for you
to transfer?
Why the?
Employees.
All your employees have to give
you a picture of their.
ID they all let me see your ID.
Well, they they know me as Greg
Smith.
They Yeah, I.
Use that ID.
You get a picture of Greg Smith.
Picture of Greg Smith.
Oh nice.
They're never going to know.
Well, no financial data appears
to be involved.
The potential exposure of
detailed viewing histories could
be extremely sensitive.
In short, the hackers could
attempt to pressure Pornhub by
threatening to release
information showing exactly what
premium members watch and when,
something many users would
understandably want to keep
private.
First of all, if it's on that
website, I'm sure nothing
surprising to anybody.
Yeah.
Oh, it could be.
What if, like, the pastor of
your church likes to, you know,
look at videos every once in a.
While isn't that a thing for
them?
Don't they do that anyways?
I don't know.
They don't tell.
You only Catholic or whatever, I
don't know.
Only Catholics.
I don't go to church anymore.
Wow.
Oh, Boots goes straight to hell,
and they wonder why.
Well, you're talking about the
priests.
Yeah, all right.
Well, measles are back.
Oh my God, now the Pornhub, now
the.
Pornhub The measles we're
running all over the world
today.
Measles are back.
Officials with the Polk County
Health Department on Thursday
confirmed a local case of
Measles County.
Yes, that's.
Pretty close.
This is local.
In a news release, the
department said that the case
involves an unvaccinated Polk
County infant who was too young
to be immunized.
The infant recently travelled to
an area where measles is
spreading, according to the
release.
At this time, there are no known
public exposure locations
associated with the case, and no
additional measles cases have
been identified in Polk County.
So you have a baby, a brand new
baby because you can't get.
So you go to where measles are.
Well, how do you know where
measles are?
Yeah.
Well, it had they, it had to
come in contact with somebody
who had measles.
It's not like, you know, they
pulled into Lakeland and.
But somebody could have it and
just be amongst people.
That's how viruses get the
that's all over you and
everything.
The.
Pictures of the baby look
terrible.
It's got these little red dots
everywhere.
Yeah, it's not like you can hide
measles.
Yeah, it's pretty like, you
know, the mumps and you just,
you get a little swelling.
How do?
You get the virus, you have to
go in contact with the person
that has it right.
That's the only way to get it.
With a measle person.
With a measle person.
OK.
Oh, let me hold the baby.
Where are all those dots?
All over you.
It's fine, don't worry.
Well, Palmer.
That's what I thought.
I thought measles was airborne.
Yeah, but didn't we all get
shots when we were kids for the
measles?
Well, that's a we have, but this
baby is too young to be
immunized, right?
Yeah, There are some religious
groups that.
When an infected person coughs,
sneezes, talks or breathes, they
release tiny droplets containing
the virus into the air.
Oh God.
So you have to be relatively
close.
It could just be airborne.
Don't go to Polk County.
Well, it's Polk County, Iowa.
The.
Virus can also land on surfaces,
and if you touch a contaminated
surface and then touch your
face, eyes, nose or mouth, you
can get infected.
And that's what babies do.
In Iowa.
So the four people in Iowa are
now infected.
Right.
Yeah, it's actually Polk's Polk
County.
Iowa.
Public health officials are
actively working.
Yeah, until they downloaded the
article, I didn't know it was
Iowa.
Either it's a totally different
Polk County.
Polk health officials are
actively working with the family
and healthcare providers to
ensure appropriate.
Bless you.
Oh God, measles, measles
everywhere.
They're flying in the air now.
They're everywhere.
Watch my hand.
No, I'm not touching.
Stay over there and follow up,
they said in the release.
Measles is one of the most
contagious viruses we know, and
it spreads quickly when people
travel and gather indoors, said
Julian Van Lew, Polk County
Health Department director.
Vaccination is the best
protection we have.
Making sure you and your family
are up to date on your MMR
vaccine helps protect infants
who are too young to be
vaccinated.
So, I mean, well, I assume all
of us here have been vaccinated
for measles, yes.
So then we can't get it.
I guess.
Can we still carry it?
No.
I will ask the machine of.
Magic.
Yeah, 'cause I mean, somebody
had to not be immunized to give
it to the baby.
Well, like, you know, like
Carlos was saying, there's a lot
of people that aren't immunized.
Right.
Oh, that's right.
They give you a low dose of the
thing and your body builds up
antibodies.
Yeah, yeah.
But you can't.
But but you can't carry it and
give it.
It's always a couple of betas
doing a podcast.
I don't know.
Let's all like boot to the end
TV get some measles.
No, I really can't get the
measles.
Can't.
Carry or transmit the weakened
vaccine virus to others and they
very rarely carry or transmit
the wild type measles.
Wild measles.
Wild.
Yeah, it's down in the wild.
And but you are too young to be
vaccinated and others who are at
higher risk for serious illness.
As of December 9th, a total of
1912 confirmed measles cases
were reported in the United
States, according to Iowa Health
and Human Services.
That includes 9 cases in Iowa
this year.
Don't go to Iowa.
Apparently that's where all the
measles are.
Yeah, the four people there,
that's why there's only four.
Yeah, it's four people in Iowa.
That's it.
Yeah, well. 1102 of them have
the measles, yeah.
What's the state next to it?
I don't know.
Yeah, me.
Idaho and Iowa.
But potato?
Potatoes have a natural defense
enzyme against measles.
Maybe they're counting the
potatoes?
Oh, Canadian potatoes.
Yeah, Canadian potatoes, John
Tavish potatoes.
John Mcdavish Potatoes.
As of late 2025, Iowa's
population is estimated at
approximately 3.26 million
people.
Wow man was I wrong.
Wow, it's a lot more than four,
huh?
I was way off Samsonite.
Samsonite All right, now we're
turning to Sports Rams.
Pakua Nakua, Akua.
Nakua.
Pakua nakua.
Pakua nakua.
He's from Hawaii.
He is.
Yes.
Puka, puka nakua.
Puka nakua.
I like Pakua you.
Know what's really funny is he
was reviewing before the show
and he said Pakua Nakua, is that
right?
And I go, yeah, it's correct.
I wasn't about to fix it.
It wasn't about what?
It's one of the best parts of
the show.
Duped again.
People do love the
mispronunciations, Yes, he
apologizes.
He had no idea the gesture he
made was offensive.
On Pornhub.
No, no, he was doing a live
feed.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver,
The guy that Mikey was talking
about.
The guy's a stud.
Issued a statement Thursday.
Apologized for performing a
gesture on the Internet live
stream that was anti-Semitic in
nature and perpetually harmful
stereotypes against Jewish
people.
Yeah, I heard about.
This there's a thing.
What did he do though?
You No.
What did he do?
You can't find it anywhere I
looked.
Well, they yeah, they did take
it down.
No, it had something to do with
rubbing his hands together with
some way he rubbed his hands
together and he was going to use
that gesture.
Well, you would think the that
one he would know and he was
going to make it wild, man.
These guys talked him into
making it part of his touchdown.
So it's at the end until he
found out that he's being
offensive.
OK, so somebody was coaxing them
into doing this.
Did they have I'll intentions or
they're just like, oh that's
cool, we should do that?
We don't know.
I don't know if he just did it
or if they said, hey, you know,
it'd be funny.
Well, next time he shouldn't
believe the guys with all the
swastikas on their face.
Yeah, I wouldn't trust them,
Yeah.
In the statement, Nikua said at
the time he had no idea of the
nature of the gesture, which has
been associated with
anti-Semitic themes.
I deeply apologize to anyone who
was offended by my actions, and
I do not stand for any form of
racism, bigotry or hate of
another group of people in the
Kuwa wrote.
The Kuwa made the gesture on
live stream Tuesday with two
Internet streamers, Aiden Ross
and Neon Nee 3O3-ON.
Is it Neeon who suggested he
perform the gesture as part of
his next touchdown celebration?
And these guys knew what they
were.
Doing they're in trouble.
I think so.
I think they set them up.
Is he?
We have a a guest member in the
house and he said that live
studio audience neon is no
bueno.
No good name, no bueno.
The NFL strongly condemns all
forms of discrimination in
derogatory behavior directed
towards any group or individual,
the league said in a statement
Thursday.
The continuing rise of
anti-Semitism.
Anti-Semitism must be addressed
across the world and NFL will
continue to stand with our
partners in this fight.
Hatred has no place in our sport
or society.
The Rams issued a statement
Thursday saying.
There's no place in this world
for anti anti-Semitism as well
as other forms of prejudice or
hostility towards the Jewish
people and people of any
religion, ethnicity or race.
Ethnicity.
Yeah, that too.
The streamers attempted to enter
the Rams practice facility
Tuesday, but were turned away by
the team.
In the same live stream.
Nikua said NFL referees are the
worst and that they and that he
thinks some refs make calls just
to get on TV during games.
Some refs make calls, I think on
TV because the spreads involved
and apparently the NFL is the
saying that they're looking into
this further, that's some of
these calls have been so
obnoxious.
Give my money back.
But we'll see.
I don't know how true that is.
I get my news from Palmer and my
12 year old son.
So.
So they did play the video when
he said that the refs fake calls
again on TV to play it but they
nobody will show what he did
with his hands.
Yeah.
I mean, well look like, Oh yeah,
something like that.
And so it's apparent you would.
Not have known.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
You know, it's just like.
But you don't even want to.
Be close.
No one's, no one's for hate or,
or, well, I mean, I guess some
people are, but you know, the
majority of people I mean.
Boots so.
Other than boots, the majority
of people are not pro any of
that shit.
Sure, it's just garbage so you
know it's.
Everybody's just so over
careful.
It's yeah, but like the problem
is that when you have too much
of an overreach of something,
then then people go nuts.
Like fucking triangles.
We lost triangles.
We lost, you know, for the whole
pizza gate fucking crazy
bullshit when people went nuts
with the Q Anon yadda yadda
like.
What do we do with this triangle
then?
I am.
I'm familiar with the triangles
because someone that I'm a
closely affiliated with had a
triangle on their label and they
got.
Blamed for those things.
Oh, I'm sorry, right?
And it's like, wait a second,
it's just a shape.
Right, like the triangle turns
sideways everybody.
Relax.
Yeah, Like what?
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
So you.
Know, we know a lot of the
haters are always going to hate
Brown.
They're always going to try to
rise to the top.
That's just how it is.
OK, well, you know, you know,
puka Nakua.
Uh oh.
Fred Roue, Guest visit.
Who let him in?
Yeah, this is.
Who let anybody Wow did your?
Fingerprint work.
Yeah, that's our newest Patreon
member.
Nice.
Mr. Fred Roue.
This is not the Patreon show,
yes.
Yes, Welcome, Sir, welcome.
It's just insane, you know?
I mean, And like, it's too bad
because Pukunaku doesn't strike
me as that type of a guy.
No, that guy is not.
Hard no.
He didn't know what he was.
Doing that's what you know, so
like to instantly have to go out
and and state this public
apology and all this other shit
and I'm just like, Oh my God,
man, what are we doing right?
I wonder if somebody saw it and
said something or those two guys
started snickering and going we
got him to do it.
Look at that.
Maybe.
But then at that point you got
to say someone sells a piece of
shit and here's why and you
know.
I think everything blew up too
in the sports world when John
Moran did his thing right?
Like obviously his was bad.
What we need to the machine gun
shooting, everybody did it, but
it obviously was at that point
in time there was things going
on the news where school
shootings were happening and
stuff.
It's like man, you just picked
the wrong time to.
Just motioning the machine gun.
I don't see what the problem
I've.
Seen that a lot?
Well, not anymore, but.
You can't do shotgun, they can't
do any of that stuff.
Like who cares?
Everybody falls down after.
So what are we going to like,
banish all shows that have guns?
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, oh, this is it's not real.
It's crazy.
This is crazy.
Well, they're not, They're not.
I mean they just fined him and
told him he needs a.
Yeah, that's so dumb.
Baker got Baker and Abuka got
fined for something.
Had abuka, Yeah, abuka buka
buka.
What's that 25,000?
Yeah, 25 large for making some
kind of they did the thing like
a hand thing.
The way he's lit up by the
corner, it was like the devil is
sitting.
Back here behind me, the devil
is sitting behind you, make no
mistake.
All right, now cigar news,
Michael.
Now we're moving into.
That was it.
We're.
Not the game.
Oh wow.
OK.
No, the game was crazy.
Yeah, that was a great game last
night.
There was a play where there was
a lateral pass.
I know you know exactly what
that.
Means I know what a lateral.
Pass and it bounced off the
helmet of the guy and it jumped
into the end zone and everybody
thought the play was dead and
Seattle Seahawks just kind of
picked it up.
I think it was Smith.
No Charbonnette.
Charbonnette.
Yeah, he picked.
It up.
That's the kind of toilet paper
we used.
After they reviewed they was
considered a touchdown or two
point conversion.
Yeah, 2 point 'cause they
needed.
It and they wound up, they wound
up going in overtime, they wound
up winning the game because of
something like that.
Yeah, that there is going to be
a lot of question of that game
really, I guarantee it.
Well, the refs just do the calls
so they can get on TV.
What was the spread?
I didn't.
Money makers, what do you got?
On the spreads anymore?
Let's go, money makers.
I'm only on the parlay.
I had a 88 stick parlay and I
had Smith Najibga I'm.
I'm trying to steer away from
football.
We did with we did with money on
that game only because it went
into overtime.
But I've been trying to stick to
basketball.
Really.
Yeah.
And basketball is even kind of
questionable.
You got to like really buy down
everybody.
And it's it's it's.
Wild.
Just the the whole mafia and
Hard Rock and all that.
It's not the Mafia.
It was better when the mafia ran
it.
Whatever it was, more organized
it was.
Whether it's it was.
Smaller.
Now it's scaled if when it
scales, that's when it becomes
problematic.
Yeah, it's problematic, yeah.
Yeah, so you're broke yet?
No, I, I went.
To cash money from the now on I.
Went pretty good money in the
past two.
Days you have 30 GS.
You were at 7:00 not that long
ago.
Yeah.
Where you at now?
I'm probably over that.
I've I've actually because of
our friend in the audience over
here for some reason, I got onto
the slots on Hard Rock now.
So it's a gateway.
It's a gateway, our friend in
the audience.
Can you confirm that he's above
or below the $7000 mark of the
money makers gambling he?
Probably doesn't know that
number, I know.
That OK, so we can confirm he
knows.
That he has a problem.
We can confirm that he's a
gambler.
Aside from that, he has some
wins.
OK, He's got some.
He's got a couple.
Dubs win yesterday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Korean baseball.
No, I stayed away from Korean
baseball now.
Yeah, he said.
He's betting basketball now,
yeah.
Korean basketball.
I don't know if I was a if I was
a habitual gambler, yes, I feel
like I'd.
Be a.
Degenerate.
I'd be able to tell you exactly
where I'm at.
I'm like.
Well, maybe he does a.
One I'm at I'm at 10.
Oh are you kidding me?
If he had 20 in the in the bank
from betting. 1st of.
All without hesitation.
He.
You wouldn't know instead of
show.
Mike, you wouldn't know if I had
20 in the bank 'cause I'd be in
there buying boxes of cigars.
Let's go, let's rage.
It's cars for everybody.
Break out them open shoes I.
Can't feel my legs legit.
All right, Cigar News Ottinger
Davidoff names Javier Gonzalez
the top marketing role.
Damn I I put threw my hat in
for.
That oh, did you you applied for
this?
Yeah, the parent of the
Davanoff, Avo and Camacho brands
has announced that it has hired
Javier Gonzalez as its new SVP,
head of global marketing and
innovation.
Could have been me.
He takes over that title from
Edward Simon, the long time
Davidoff employee who has held
the role since 2018.
Did he get fired or was he?
No, he had two jobs earlier this
year.
Simon was also two jobs.
He had two jobs to dab it off
and now he only has 10.
He's cut.
He's making cutbacks, yes.
Was that on purpose or is that
like a scam?
I don't know, let's read on and
find out what's that I would
have matched.
Yeah, like, hey, we're going.
To Simon was also given the role
of overseeing the company's
sales.
As of January 1st, 2026, his
dual roles will come to an end.
Simon will focus on sales.
Gonzalez will oversee the
marketing.
As part of the change, Simon's
new title SVP, Chief Sales
Officer.
Gonzalez most recently served as
a global marketing digital
innovation officer of Avatola,
formerly known as Du Fry Aga,
publicly traded Swiss duty free
conglomerate that owns brands
like Hudson and World Duty Free
Group.
Prior to his 15 years at
Ovatola, he had stints at
British American Tobacco,
Coca-Cola and Lego.
Coca-Cola, Lego, but he was
marketing department.
Marketing Department.
Hey, I mean, those are good
companies.
He's a marketing department.
Now if you had, oh, I thought,
oh, that's a new guy.
The new guy's in charge of
marketing.
And he did Lego, yes.
Wait, why would he leave those
companies?
What's a What makes you think he
had a choice?
Listen, if you're marketing
like, that's the tough one to
hang.
On and and innovation, though.
Yeah, you got to prove that it's
working.
You got to be innovative.
I mean, Legos had a big uptick.
Why?
Why did Legos have a big uptick?
Maybe because of this guy?
I don't know.
But I don't know what they did.
Oh, I.
Don't know.
OK, what?
They made Lego movies.
Oh.
I mean, I've never bought a Lego
for Lego movies, but but like
Harry Potter, Legos, Star Wars
Legos, like all that stuff has
been huge lately.
But the resurgence of Legos for
kids is the fact that they
started oh.
You think the Lego movies did?
It of course, that was the whole
purpose of.
Doing it, yeah.
That's why they did it.
That's why they Lego Batman.
That's why all those things
exist.
Yeah, right.
Some.
Yeah, The collabs as well.
Right.
Harry Potter.
You're right, but the just the
standard Lego movie was really
is one of the things that kind
of put it back in kids minds.
That was marketing.
It was probably expensive
marketing.
Yeah, because how much do you
think it is to do a movie?
I don't know.
But as long as it was a
blockbuster hit or or whatever.
Wasn't Davidoff just downsizing?
Well it sound you don't think
this is downsizing.
They hired somebody.
But they took a guy off the
board, they reduced him just to
sales.
Oh, OK.
Yeah, I guess it's still down.
I don't know.
Yeah, it's possible that the
guy's sale base and Commission
base as well off of his salary,
right?
So if he was higher, you know,
this is all theoretical, but if
he was higher paid for a
marketer and now you replace him
with somebody else, you can
lower that base.
At least I would think so.
But Palmer's going to tell us.
Exactly how much?
We have an estimate.
I know he's itching for it.
I'm honored to join the Honor
Davidoff family at such an
exciting moment.
Anninger David is Anninger
Davidoff is a house in
extraordinary heritage, built on
craftsmanship, quality and deep
respect for its root, said
Gonzalez in a press release.
Throughout my career, I've been
passionate about elevating
brands, strengthening customer
engagement, and shaping digital
and Omni channel experiences.
That creates long term values.
I look forward to bringing the
experience to Davidoff,
enhancing the emotional power of
the brand, deepening our
connection with consumer
worldwide and supporting the
continued growth of our wide
portfolio.
We're going to skip the rest.
He goes on to whatever.
All right.
We don't know what the man
makes.
We don't, but we have an
estimated compensate
compensation for Mr. Javier
based on and information
available on the Internet for
similar roles at other luxury
based Switzerland companies.
OK.
How many other?
How many other luxury brand in
Switzerland?
I have no idea.
A whole bunch of a whole bunch
of all right, they're estimating
base salary $450,000.
What?
I told you I put my hat in
there. 400 We could all put our
hat in there and split it.
The three of us could work
together the unit.
Three of us doing it, this guy.
Probably run circles around us.
Listen, your marketing skills
are horrible.
We're going to do a podcast, us
three, and then we'll just split
the money.
All right.
Long term incentive perks,
executive packages at this
level, equity, stock plans,
pensions, relocation benefits,
etcetera can push total
compensation well above
$800,000, particularly if
performance targets are
exceeded.
Man summary compensation.
They estimate base salary
between 300 and 450.
Total cash 400 to 700,000.
No, I would say it's probably
300 to 450.
I would imagine so too.
So PCA money?
What's that PCA money?
Yeah, What was Josh Joshua?
Bursky's at 3:50.
I think we found out.
Damn man.
Where did we go wrong?
I.
Just saw Instagram posts.
He's out, you know.
He's out experiencing.
Christmas in Europe or whatever.
With the with the guy, the the
education ambassador, dude,
they're just running around the.
Country now together.
And now the new marketing guy
for Davidoff.
Yeah, he's probably part of the
club.
Yeah, let's go on.
Well, they might not like him.
He makes more than they do.
Let's.
Go on a trip, guys.
Let's go on a trip.
You bring your jet.
You kidding me?
Yeah, these are educated
estimates based on senior
marketing roles at global Swiss
based luxury companies and
typical exchange rates.
The actual package could vary.
You're not saying that's how
much the man makes.
OK.
Yeah, all.
Right, but if he did.
It'd probably be something.
Like that he could buy this
$16,500 cigar cutter table
lighter from Dunhill.
From who?
Dunhill Fred, could you confirm
that that was the price 400 and
ish thousand for a Davidoff
marketing salary?
What do you think?
I don't.
Know I mean I I doubt that the
compensation goes over half
million little.
Sentence though, OK, You can't
hear Fred, he said.
Definitely yes.
That's awesome.
He didn't say that.
I'm he didn't say that.
Well, but getting back to the
other thing, you know what's
kind of crazy?
I know that we talked briefly
about Lego, but if you remember,
not that long ago, maybe about
1520 years ago, about 15 years
ago, Harley Davidson's sales
were through the roof.
Everybody had a Harley.
Why did that happen?
Oktoberfest.
No, Oktoberfest had nothing to
do with it.
Oktoberfest.
There was ATV show that was a
huge hit.
Do you remember it?
Oh, Sons of Anarchy, Sons of
Anarchy.
And everybody needed to have a
Harley.
I want to be like Jack.
So, you know, major marketing
actually works when you tie it
in with Hollywood.
So everybody's going to start
smoking cigars.
We need to make a cigar movie.
If you had a bunch of if you, if
you had captivating villains or
heroes that were all cigar guys.
Well, we are the villains,
supposedly.
What?
Are you going to be the Penguin?
No, no, I mean not like a
dressed up villain, but we are
the villains of the media.
I guess they were.
Bad for the industry, they.
Were bad for the industry.
I don't know if I don't know how
much that's.
One guy's opinion.
Yeah, maybe 2.
We don't.
And yeah, that's whatever.
We only know one for sure.
A lot of other people like us.
Yeah.
People like us, yeah.
But no, I'm being serious.
You know, if you really wanted
to propel this industry into it
being becoming more socially
acceptable is you would need
heroes smoking cigars, you know,
and it had to be kind of in
their rotation.
You need a really awesome
villain, maybe an anti hero that
was a cigar guy.
Even if it was ATV series.
I bet you Sopranos helped boost
cigar sales.
Oh.
Maybe.
Luciano could be the villain.
I bet you if you tracked it, if
you looked at the data of when
Sopranos hit that show and
overall cigar comes on, I bet
you that there was an uptick.
You think Luciano could wear
like a monocle?
No.
Sorry, that would be funny.
Cao numbers.
Because they dropped the.
Cigar, Right, Right.
Yeah.
They had The Sopranos release
and I bet you that that popped
too, 'cause people that were
just collectors of Sopranos
stuff, probably one of the
cheaters.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I remember when Guy Fieri
first started with.
Carlos is like this close to
replacing you.
He hasn't mentioned Diddy one
time, you know, And he.
Hasn't cursed.
He hasn't cursed it all either.
Yeah, I I remember when Guy
Fiery.
You first started.
Can you just do that?
Can you do the one and?
The two and the one and the two.
Wow, value of me.
Is go ahead.
So anyways I.
Remember when Guy Fiery first
started?
Remember we went to the Great
Smoke?
That was like his first, Like,
you know, everybody could come
see him.
And I remember the cigar boxes.
Remember, everybody was outside
and they were dumping all the
cigars out-of-the-box.
Were they?
Yeah.
And then they you.
Were inside at that point you
were out.
There, Yeah, we were inside.
We didn't see anything.
Whoa, I, Eric took me out there
to go meet him.
So when I was out there, they
were dumping all the cigars out
and they wanted just the box so
he could sign it and take a
picture with him with it.
Really, that doesn't help the
industry.
Did you pick up all the cigars?
I I asked.
He said no.
He said leave him on table.
There you go, and.
He likes cigars.
Yeah.
Booch, can you give Carlos your
seat, please?
Yeah, 'cause we can't hear him
on the mics.
Unbelievable, you guys.
Aren't he just put us in a
movie?
Yeah, just like that.
Just like that, we're in a movie
now.
I would be in the movie too,
Palmer.
You know, of all the movies that
I've seen, you know what cigar
that I see is the most notable?
But can you guess?
For cigars.
Yeah, I always try to look and
figure out what.
They are.
If you could see a cigar that's
the that always kind of pops in
a, in a, in a movie or a show, I
could tell you that there's one
in particular that I see the
most.
Last action hero.
No, the cigar.
No, the cigar not the most the.
Cigar.
Ding Ding Ding, Bing bong.
Yeah, I'm thinking Fuente.
It's. 100% correct.
So Opus X.
Oh.
Opus.
It's not just Fuente, it's
specifically.
Opus Opus with the rainbow X
instead.
It's it.
You can definitely distinctly
see that it says Opus X.
Wasn't it Senzafina that Jalen
Hurts was smoking this past
Super Bowl?
He's in the poster.
Yeah, I think so.
And I think the Dodgers had it
too, or something like that.
I saw the poster the other day.
Yeah, but it doesn't.
It's not as big of an impact as
it is in a movie.
Yeah, crazy.
I'm sorry, I was just I.
Yeah, don't be sorry.
Be better.
Yeah, you went to the the table
lighter store you want to jump
tell me the what's the?
Score.
Tell me the you're.
Supposed to tell us the price.
Yeah, I did $16,500.
Well, many companies make
combinations, cigar cutter and
lighters, mostly under the guise
that they make a convenient
combination for a cigar smoker.
Whoever.
The new Dunhill Cigar Cutter
Table Lighter is not going to be
marketed as such.
It's not small, it's not very
portable, and it's not all that
affordable.
The Dunhill Silver Cigar Cutter
Table Lighter is a three piece
design that includes a desktop
cigar cutter with four different
cutting options, a removable
base, and a Dunhill Turbo
lighter that is designed to be
stored inside the base.
Oh, so $16,000.
It's not bedazzled like Prince
of Boobies.
No, Nope, no, it's not
bejeweled.
As for the cutter, it's a multi
cut lever design, A concept that
has been used by other companies
as well.
There are four different
openings, 2 straight cuts and
two V cuts.
The holes are different sizes
designed to accommodate cigars
of various ring gauges.
One unique part of the cutter is
is that there is a lid that can
be closed when it's not in use
on the website Dunhill so you
don't cut your fingers I.
Guess all right, we got it.
Expensive cigar you're.
The one told me a Polish.
Story I know, but I didn't
realize it was past 5:00.
Man, I was perfectly fine
without it.
All right, very expensive
$16,000.
Very expensive.
You can cut 4 different ways.
You can get lighter in the base
blah blah blah blah blah.
There's a It's a car.
Yes, Yeah, it's nice.
It's a used Model S.
Yeah, yeah.
You guys ready now for What's
the Score mini game?
Yes, very excited.
Yeah, ready.
It's time for.
What's the score?
There we go.
All right.
December 18th, 2025.
Brooks Whittington.
It's a Dominican Republic
General Cigar Company.
Limited Edition Reviews of The
Buffalo Trace, Limited Edition,
2025.
Oh, this cigar.
I love it.
Boots go first.
Buffalo Trace.
Yep, Buffalo Trace cigar. 75.
I thought you said you loved it.
I was being sarcastic. 88.
All right, it's a Buffalo Trace
Limited edition 2025.
It's from the Dominican Republic
factory Undisclosed rapper
Undisclosed, But then as
Parentheses Habano 2000 Binder
Dominican Republic Criojo 98
Filler Dominican Republic Crojo
HVA Peloto Cubano length 6 by 50
and they smoked free cigars.
Free 75. 86.
Oh, quite the variance there.
Yeah, he'll jump at the end.
The cigars delivered a layered
and evolving flavor profile,
highlighted by creamy oak,
almond and milk chocolate
sweetness, with consistent
complexity from the first light
through the final third.
The transition, especially the
shift from espresso bitterness
to smoother, creamier notes,
show thoughtful blending.
Boots. 78. 88.
Clue #2 Despite minor touch ups,
the cigars produce dense,
satisfying smoke with excellent
draw resistance.
The Retro Hell remains
approachable yet flavorful
throughout, balancing white
pepper and milk chocolate
sweetness and adding depth
without overpowering the palate.
Man, he really likes this cigar
87. 90 OH.
Construction consistency is an
issue across samples, with
uneven firmness, frequent burn
corrections and sporadic
bitterness, particularly in the
final thirds, detracting from an
otherwise refined and well
developed smoking experience is.
That the last one and.
There's a final thought.
OK. 87. 88 Final thought, Let's
get one thing out of the way up
front.
I did not taste any barrel
notes, the closest I found was
the dominant creamy yolk flavor
that was present for the entire
cigar.
With that said, the other
flavors in the profile,
including almonds and an ever
present lemongrass note are
quite enjoyable and the
construction gave me no major
issue.
I have not smoked any of the
other Buffalo Trace releases,
and while the Buffalo Trace
Limited Edition 2025 does not
have the most complex profile in
the world, it is an extremely
approachable blend that just
about anyone who smokes cigars
could enjoy.
Man, I'm trying to make this
three in a row.
All these drags down a row over
there, yeah.
I like your odds.
I like your chances.
I'm sticking at 87.
Damn that's tough.
I think it's better than at 87.
He says it's good, but it's not
the best.
But everybody could smoke it.
Yeah.
Do I want to go below 87 is the
question.
What do you think, Palmer?
I can't tell you I'm looking at
the score.
You better not be pointing over
there.
He's out.
Hands are down by my side on the
chair.
I'm going to stick at 88. 88 The
streak is over.
Boost.
Unbelievable.
Not only is the streak over, but
I nailed it, which is something
you haven't been able to do.
You said 87.
I thought you had another one.
I thought he.
I.
Just couldn't see him going
higher.
Than that I thought he was going
to go under.
That was tight, God.
Brooks, he's always so tough.
OK, anything else to add?
That's it guys, this has been
episode 434 I.
