Transcript

They want him to sing Coldplay.

Yes, in the comment sections

they want him to sing Coldplay.

Who in the comment section?

I didn't see that.

Maybe you missed one.

Which Coldplay?

Like the famous one.

I don't know, whatever, he said

the other day.

He had to do something with

Coldplay to calm himself down

to.

Not kill anybody.

So that would be to calm

yourself down.

Potato.

Potato, Michael.

This magic, Yeah, this is

perfect.

Bloopers are perfect.

He's love.

He's in love with the bloopers

that we don't do.

We need to do a blooper reel.

I don't know why we don't.

Do that bloopers every week.

At OK do I sound OK?

You sound great, are.

You sure?

We don't touch it.

Go again.

Hello.

Yep, you're both the same.

OK, we should do a blooper reel

and you have to pay to see it.

Tell you what, you take the

bloopers off the front and back

end of it every day and then you

can keep them.

Everything for you is pay.

Yeah, they should pay us.

Everything you guys want to do

is extra work for me.

A blooper.

Row.

I didn't.

I didn't ask for extra work for

you.

Well, I have to memorize the

stories, I can't have notes, so

now I have to pre read the

entire story instead of just

pulling out talking points.

We're talking about it.

We're.

Too far angled out here, I.

Can't.

I made it so you didn't get the

red flashing lights and I'm

gradually getting ready for the

next camera.

Got it.

OK, cool.

Oh my God, a what?

Yeah, he wants another camera

for A2 shot.

Yeah.

So the only way to get a two

shot is we have to get closer

together.

Oh man, not.

Necessarily.

I want you going to do it.

Put it back behind all the zinc

and look.

I even use some.

I saw that.

Wire ties to clean up the wires

for you.

That's nice.

I mean, I'm the one that touches

them, but, you know, I'm.

Just you know what, you can buy

it.

More work.

You know what you can buy?

Tie.

That's about efficiency.

Come on.

No, it's work, Palmer, right?

Right.

You can buy it.

They have like those little

slinky things you can put the

wire in.

So that way like you can't even

see all the wires.

It just looks like one big wire.

I unplug all the wires from the

cameras now because we bent the

ends before so now we don't have

that issue again.

Good job, I hope you've been

switching this whole time.

Yeah.

No, I have because I wanted to

be a blooper rail.

Blooper rails not.

Going to be a blooper reel, but

it'll probably be part of the

show.

Oh.

Yeah, sometimes I do leave the

beginning stuff on.

Yeah, yesterday it was a big

black space.

I thought it was messed up.

It was like 15 minutes of black.

I don't know when he started the

audio and didn't start the

video, but when I said Cigar

House or podcasts or whatever,

then the.

Video is good to go.

But I almost gave up but like oh

shit.

I always pressed these at the

same time it was it blacked out.

Yeah, the beginning of it was

all black then until you said

hold on a second.

So I figured you knew.

All right.

Welcome to a Cigar Hustler

podcast episode 466.

I'm Mike Palmer, your host, and

with me today, as always, is

Phil.

I'm an astrophysicist, Mcguffey

in engineering and my Co host

Mikey Preston is sick today.

Don't pay attention to my cough,

it's just a coincidence.

Step on Kevitch.

Wow, is it like a kissing cough?

It could be, I don't know.

And for those of you playing

along at home, we're only doing

Preston jokes on the day of

Preston.

Oh, oh, are you?

Yeah, I just started it today.

OK, I bet you're going to make a

pressing joke at some other

time.

Not today.

Oh yeah.

Today.

Well, technically you could do

today or tomorrow.

Because he's here again.

Because you're here tomorrow.

You won't be here tomorrow.

I know I won't.

Doesn't mean the joke can't be.

Yeah, because again, I have to

do all the work.

So you guys could do a joke,

which means you have to pre read

the stories tonight.

I'll send you links.

I have to pre read the.

Stories Who's going to be the

host?

Yeah, I I pre, I pre read the

last time I was on there.

I did it.

No, no, no, you didn't read the

whole story.

You just read the stuff I had on

the screen.

Yeah.

Well, now you have to read the

whole story 'cause there's less

stuff on the screen.

OK.

All right.

Thank you, Daddy.

Whatever.

Listen, I would never ask you to

do something that I wouldn't do

myself.

I.

Understand.

I'm just letting you know what's

involved.

I'm.

Aware of what's involved, I told

you to what to do.

But I will be able to pick up

the hard drives tomorrow

afternoon when I get back into

town.

Well, you're going to have to.

It's not a will be able to, it's

you're going to have to.

All right, McDonald's caviar

went Live Today that we

mentioned last week.

Yeah, the the McDonald's.

What is the?

Wait, wait, are we just going

into this?

Mcnagy's.

Well, this is an update to a

story we did last week.

Oh I thought we had to do the

chapter pod then.

We we'll get to that.

Just relax over there.

He's.

In charge.

Oh, you guys are confusing me.

Now you know it's the floozy.

You guys have changed you.

Can relax over there, blooper

boy.

Yeah.

Yeah, listen, he's, you know,

you ever see you ever see Half

Baked?

You.

Know like Palmer just kind of

beefed up on you and said, yeah,

I'm somebody's bitch.

Like back up.

That's that's hands off my

Kool-aid.

Hands off my Kool-aid.

No, no, you're my Kool-aid.

Oh, whatever.

So anyway, they did a countdown

on the website.

I started watching it 4 hours.

I I logged in to to watch it

countdown, come back and check,

come back and check.

Paul was sending me

notifications.

Ben Rowland was sending me

notifications so when I got down

to one second it crashed.

Yeah, locked.

Up went white screens.

Nothing boop boop nothing.

Bing bong.

No, no caviar for you.

Bing bong no caviar. 10 minutes

later it came back on and said

sold out, sorry.

Do they actually sold any of it

to anybody?

Because, well, it was free.

They were giveaways.

But yeah, I don't know what Ben

said.

Maybe they gave away 20.

I think they maybe won or maybe

it was a whole scam just to get

you at the website.

And then they crashed it right

at 1:00.

Well, I mean, evidently there

was billions of people watching

the countdown.

They're very excited about the

caviar.

Well.

It was free caviar and free

Mcnuggets.

I don't know how that works.

If the site crashes, it's

crashes for everybody.

Doesn't.

Know you would think yeah, but

well maybe it you know, you

refresh, refresh, refresh,

refresh maybe somebody else

refresh faster.

Right.

Maybe Justin Andrews just bought

it all.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

No, That's not a good joke.

You don't think he hates caviar

on chicken Nuggets?

No, I don't think, well, you

know what he probably is a

McDonald's chicken dug and

caviar kind.

Of Guy you think he is.

I think he Yeah, I.

Think so.

OK.

I think he's like halfway fancy.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's what that means.

To be fancy, but not really the

know how to be fancy.

But he's still kind of like

right North Carolina.

Right, exactly.

Is it North Carolina?

He.

Doesn't.

Wear Tennessee or North

Carolina.

He wears.

One shoe he no, he wears like

boots.

He's like a boots guy.

No socks with no socks.

No socks.

No, he wears like the boots

from, like, JC Penney, not like

real boots.

They're like fake boots.

Yeah, you know, they like like

poser boots.

But like the.

Well I think he buys overly

expensive boots.

Where if you lift up the jeans

you can see the ankles.

Right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like oh, gotcha.

The boots, Shoes.

Yeah.

Nice.

So anyway, if you've gotten some

of the McDonald's caviar and

you'd like to share, send some

to the show.

I was trying to get some and

then I sent my wife a nice

message and go, I'm sorry honey,

I tried to get you a McDonald's

caviar, but I didn't make it.

She said oh, it's OK.

I wanted you to have this

present for Valentine's Day.

I wanted you to have Mcnuggets

and caviar for Valentine's Day.

Unfortunately, it.

Didn't work out.

It didn't work out.

What I think is crazy is how

many people were watching this

site and I've never heard of

this whole situation until it

was on her show.

Right.

Maybe.

Yeah, maybe that was like, you

know, it was just all podcast

viewers.

Right.

Well, we got to get some of that

Palmer's caviar stuff.

Right.

All right, anyway, on today's

show we have a Bad Bunny Super

Bowl news.

Just a little piece, something

that that has come out.

The Winter Olympics is getting

harder.

Be careful at Olive Garden with

the fried food.

Uh oh.

And in cigars, we have a couple

of new cigars and an update on

information on a very popular

story.

Then we end with a what's the

score?

But before we get started,

Mikey, how do we get some of

that chapter pod swag and the

new Preston I Love Mikey

T-shirt?

Oh, the Preston I love Mikey

T-shirt.

Is that a real?

Yeah, yeah, because you want

him.

You want to sell the shirt that

says he loves you?

Makes you feel better, right,

Preston?

Yeah.

I love Mikey.

And I'm all about my feelings.

Yeah, how about your feelings?

You can make it like AI love New

York shirt.

Yeah, but I love and then

Preston's initials.

If we did a Preston, if we did a

shirt with Preston on it, it

would sell out.

So fat.

I think so.

Yeah.

So like he's had a heart with

Preston's face in it.

It would sell so bad.

So here's what.

We did, we did.

Preston, thank you very much.

Please sign this piece of paper.

No, you just have to go through

AI and make it a likeness.

Make it make it look like.

We do a lot of that on our

thumbnails.

So first of all this is I'm.

Sorry, Spider Man, Trump was

quite the problem the other day

because it wouldn't do Trump or

Spider Man right?

Had to do similar to both.

OK, sorry.

Go ahead.

First of all, the hats aren't

done yet, but the hats portion

of our .079 have come in.

The acquiring of the hats.

They look like this.

Can you turn around so you can

see the black?

Everybody open it up, maybe, You

know, put it on your head when

you get it home stuff don't fall

out.

Yeah.

You don't need that.

The stuff will fall out when

you.

Get OK, the stuff will fall out.

That's not part of the hat.

It's not like the liner.

I like that it's.

A little snug.

I tried it on a.

Little snug.

You got a big Dome.

I do have a big Dome.

But this is your Richardson hat,

so.

It's a nice quality hat it it

doesn't seem to be going to fall

apart.

It's a great quality.

Hat and the brims.

Nice.

It's not flat.

Yes, this is what a lot of

people in industry will use.

Yes, right.

This is kind of your.

So the, the good news is there's

going to be extreme value in

this one.

It won't be as expensive as our

black on Black Hat.

We purposely did this one.

So that is a little more

affordable and we're going to

just kind of test and see how

this all goes.

But we're there's only going to

be 30 of them.

That's it.

They're. 29. 29 because of you,

me, I.

Don't know it, I'll have to wait

to see how it looks when it has

the thing on it and how it fits

because it is the very last

hole.

I like it it.

Fit me.

I'd wear a DJ.

Well, you got, you already got

the black on Black Hat.

I like that you got the, you got

you got one of three beanies

that are out in the world.

The beanie is great.

You know, so I don't.

Know Did Ben get a beanie?

No, Ben hasn't gotten the Ben

Ben will on me.

Yeah, yeah.

You got his beanie.

Yeah, got it.

Well, he used to ship to him

all.

Right.

So there's only 28 available

people.

Of these hats, no, there's 29

available.

Palmer's getting one I.

Didn't get a beanie.

He didn't get a beanie.

I got to even it.

Up.

We can't.

We can't be taking everything

every time we make something.

I got to even even it up for my

kids.

No, if you really want one,

we'll get you 1.

Oh.

You want any?

Comments now from our from our

recent shows.

There was like 10 on the last

show.

Yeah, it, it continues to grow.

Is it?

You think it's because we're

reading it or because they like

making fun of me?

Both.

Is that what it is?

Yeah, yeah.

Either way, I'm fine almost our

our algorithm or whatever.

On the most recent podcast, Real

Smoke Pod said Mom and dad, stop

fighting.

You're scaring all of us.

I like you know, I like a little

sometimes it happens, right?

I my response was hey mom and

dad fight sometimes doesn't mean

we don't love each other, right?

Right, it's trying to get you.

Doesn't mean we don't love you.

Right, trying to get Oh yeah,

that too.

Trying to get a better show for

you.

You know, sometimes you got to

push the limit, T Money says.

I speak Spanish and still did

not understand what bad money

was saying.

I saw a video where they dubbed

in a country western song the

bed bunnies thing.

Oh wow.

It is not what he was saying at

all.

There's no way, but it was

funny.

I got a Sam Hopkins says hell

yeah, pizza rolls on the

previous episode.

Yes, I did have those pizza

rolls, by the way.

See.

David Morris said I'm mentally

unstable right now.

I had to listen to Coldplay on

loop so I didn't kill anyone in

quotations.

This needs to be on the wall

somewhere in the lounge.

It's.

Kind of long be a big sign,

yeah, Maybe not, David.

And to kind of clarify, shed a

little more light on the

Maryland legislation he goes

introduced is a good and bad.

The bad part is a licensure

allowance of one lounge per

150,000 people.

Most counties just kind of

surmise.

He's saying that if you have two

in that county and there's

150,000 people, one of them has

to go away.

Right.

And the county he lives in has

to then one of them is going to

have to go away.

Which is weird.

I'd like.

I don't understand that doesn't

make sense.

Yeah, I don't understand the

works either.

I this seems like it's a random

number.

Just let the license happen,

right, you know, and then if,

if, if a county can only sustain

one or the other, then it would

through natural selection.

It'll.

What?

I don't want to interrupt, but I

want to remember I have

something to say.

So you have to put.

Your I'm putting my hand up.

OK, OK, it's.

Like in Volusia County they're

only allowed so many liquor

license, is that any different?

Well, they didn't say, all

right, liquor licenses.

And if you don't have one, you

have to close.

Oh.

OK, right, I see the difference.

There's no like grand.

This is coming.

Yeah, This is coming in after

the fact.

They've already been

established.

Gotcha.

Well, maybe at one time though

could have been the.

Same.

Maybe a one time back in 17.

In the day right after

probation.

And people are still giving me a

hard time about my New England

Patriot.

Yes, yes, choosing the losing

team.

Oh yeah, that was one I didn't

see too.

I saw that earlier.

About you choosing the losing

team, Yeah, I saw something

about that too.

'Cause that was a few episodes

ago.

Love the pre Ben Rowland, love

this pre Super Bowl predictions

opposite bets on the money

makers for the win.

Yeah, so now he's doing

everything he says the opposite,

right?

Right.

Perfect.

That's how you win.

And yeah, that's it.

That's all I got for some

comments.

So hey, you know, make some

comments on our show.

It may get read out on our

podcast.

Only got to read it on the air.

Sometimes.

Sometimes you didn't start the

timer.

Yes, I did.

Oh I didn't see the last number,

I just saw the first two.

I can only see the 1st 2 numbers

like 1239.

It's not moving all right now

under the things everybody's

talking about.

Let's go.

All right, the couple that got

married during the Bad Bunny

thing, Yeah, they really got

married.

That was authentic.

They invited him to their

wedding and he goes, hey, why

don't you guys come to Super

Bowl and get married there?

Wow, that was kind of cool.

And then?

Yeah.

He signed their marriage

certificate as the witness.

No way.

Yeah, that's pretty cool.

It was pretty cool.

I could see why he becomes.

He's one of the very popular top

artists in the world.

Yes.

Is he one of or is he the?

I think he's.

The I think he is the yes.

Yeah, OK.

All right, now, the Winter

Olympics.

What's going on with Samantha

Guthrie and Nancy and his?

And I don't know, it's hard to

tell every day there's there's

fake stories that come out all

the time.

So now if you look at one place,

they've arrested somebody and

then they explain how they

figured out it was him.

You go to another place and

she's still making videos and

nobody knows where they're at.

I saw one video where they were

bringing a body out of a house

but it wasn't her because they

haven't found her yet.

What a sick joke.

I mean, well, everybody's trying

to get the clicks, so all these

half baked news stories are

doing fake stories or stories

that may be half true to get

people to click and open it up

and then you get the nail fungus

head.

Well, it's still, I mean,

updated news from CNN says that

she's still missing.

Yeah, see, I mean, now, was that

true or do they have her?

Who knows?

I saw three that said they found

the body.

No.

From the the pacemaker tracker

or something.

Unless it says TMZ.

Oh, I mean, is, you know, Saint

Louis News, Alpaca, you know,

Gazette.

Yeah, that's that's not

accurate.

Alpaca Gazette.

I just picked up Alpaca Gazette

and by Alpacas.

Yeah, he's definitely not a real

news.

It's ran by the alpacas, yes.

So they.

Get they get to have newsletters

too.

There's a lot of going on in the

alpaca.

World so it's a bunch of 1413

year old kids with that hair

that they have.

Could be, yeah, maybe.

I don't know.

The Alpaca News.

Spitters.

Spitters.

No, that's the llamas.

Oh.

Llamas.

Spitters.

Mcnugget Drama What?

Moving on?

Winter Olympics.

Winter Olympics.

Winter Olympics.

Gotcha.

Ski jumpers, they're having a

problem.

OK, that's the latest

controversy in Winter Olympics.

They're injecting.

What is it?

They're injecting in an acid

serum into their genitalia to

artificially increase the size.

Of for jumping.

OK, now wait.

Now think about it.

Wait a second.

I know it doesn't make sense

until you until you read the

story.

What's going on here?

Ballmer, where are you getting

stories from?

This is the back of Times

Magazine error.

What was that?

This is from CNN.

This is a legit thing.

This is from Alpaca News.

This.

Is from Alpaca News, my favorite

news source.

What it does is it increases the

biggest part where the fabric

is.

So it's not your arms, it's your

trunk.

So by making your penis thicker,

it stretches out the material

and gives you more lift.

Who?

Figured this out.

Because.

Who figured this out?

The claims were put to the World

Anti Doping Agency.

That is being done to enlarge

the skin suit surface area

around the crotch to give ski

jumpers greater lift to glide

further in pursuit of gold.

Now they have changed the rules.

When?

How long ago?

You're only allowed to have a

six.

Last year because the Norwegians

were adding extra material to

the crotch area of their suits

to make it bigger.

So they change the.

Rules that you can't do that.

So now these guys found a way to

swell up their wieners to, you

know, make the skip, make the

fabric stretch.

If only Barry was still alive.

You know who Barry is.

You know what I'm talking about.

Barry.

Do you remember a few years ago

the the the big black guy with

the huge Dong that was going?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

See, look, you shook your head

no, as when I saw the black guy,

I said huge Dong.

He's like, Oh yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, 'cause then she'd

give something to Palmer.

Wasn't there like a like

something happened this?

This image was in rotation I

mean oh it.

Was coming to it was all the

time hidden under several

different things, yeah.

Right.

Right.

Like that guy would be the ski

jumping champion.

Yeah, on he.

He might be on just based on

that one.

Yeah, on squirrel glider alone.

I mean, he should be able to.

He should stretch that fabric.

So Asia, anything from Asia,

they're going to be in last

place and anything from Wow.

Look at you my.

Goodness, how would you know

that?

Come on bro.

He's the racism.

That's racist.

That's racist.

It wasn't racist.

That's that's racist.

Yeah, it's factual, really.

Maybe from my friend, maybe some

from my some my the friend, the

girlfriends that hang out.

Maybe, maybe maybe maybe the

girl without the.

Well, I like him.

Did he just admit to having a?

Girlfriend.

No, not like the girl.

I mean like the girls that are

friends.

Like the girlfriends?

Oh, like she's not my

girlfriend, she's a girl.

That's my friend I like.

That he's nervous in this kind

of.

No, it's not a nervous thing.

It's I don't know.

About, about, about, about,

about, about Big bong, Big bong,

big bong.

And.

His wife was just on the phones.

Was that his wife?

No.

Oh.

I don't know.

That was one of his girlfriends,

one of his.

Girlfriends.

Yeah, that.

Makes sense.

That makes.

Sense she dates Asians,

apparently.

Right, she likes just the

Asians.

Wow.

So anyway, that's the latest

problem with the with the

winter.

Olympics.

So it's OK to do this or not?

No, No.

No, no, it's bad.

You can't do.

It you can't expand your penis,

it's considered doping.

Yes.

How are you going to check for

that?

Come here, Hunker.

Hunker.

I don't maybe shows up on the

blood test, I don't know.

Wow, you guys are all on me

about the Asian Jones hunka.

Hunka, hunka.

Hunka tweeze a little pig.

Well they would have to do it

before and after just if they

dope.

You got a few centimeters in

girth here, right?

This feels really big.

There's a helmet problem too,

but not nearly as interesting as

this.

Yeah, the helmet.

Yeah, there's a special helmet

design that's illegal because it

gives you better better

aerodynamics for bobsledding and

the skeleton.

And people are working this

stuff in.

Yes.

Not us Americans, though.

No, no.

We're very, very honorable.

People.

Yeah, yeah, we're very

honorable.

We just, you know, snap our

legs.

Wow.

That was an accident.

Yes, her father's, her father

says she's retired, but she has

not made that decision or so if

it's up to me, she's retired.

Of course, she's retired.

I don't know.

She didn't retire after the knee

surgery.

She could go one more time.

Well, she no, she's probably

going to retire.

At least she's 41.

She's.

Going to come back at 45 and do

it again.

Who knows?

She better have a.

Maybe they give her a titanium

bone.

She better have a new leg.

Yeah, like a swelled up 1.

Oh could they give her like a

fake leg?

Like just slap it off at the.

Knee, $1,000,000 man style.

We have the technology, right?

Yeah.

That'd be dope.

You know, I saw anarkally they

now he would be the $6 billion

man in with the.

Due to inflation.

Yes, that's based on a true

story, by the way, as far as the

pilot in the accident and losing

an eye, not the, not the, you

know, the robotics part.

That part was fake, but the

other part was true.

The whole eye thing.

The test pilot that had the

crash and he lost an eye.

But he lived.

Yes.

Yeah.

I saw a picture of him in an

airplane with a big white eye

patch on.

Did not get the bionics.

Wow.

All right.

Do you like going to Olive

Garden, Michael?

Not really.

Yes I do boots.

Loves or Phil loves Olive

Garden?

All right, a cook.

This is the story I was sent by

several of our viewers, so we

have to cover the story.

A cook kills himself by plunging

head first into a deep fryer.

Oh my goodness.

So in Pennsylvania, in Olive

Garden, employee died from from

severe burns injury after

jumping into a deep fryer and a

suicide attempt, They're saying.

So this guy comes into work,

he's very distraught.

I guess he has a little bit of a

mental problem to start with,

obviously.

He's in the back of the house.

Right strips off his clothes,

throws himself into the Friar

head first.

Is that Olive Garden?

Olive Garden in Pennsylvania.

OK, you know that's a new one

because.

Not right away, 'cause they're

saying a suicide attempt.

OK, So what were you going to

say?

Sorry.

That's a new one 'cause if you

guys ever seen that Thousand

Ways to Die.

No.

No, that was that wasn't on

there.

Or do you remember E Bombs

World?

I know Mikey does, 'cause that

was the thing when we were kids,

you know, that wasn't on E Bombs

World.

Nope.

E bombs world.

E bom like EBAUME bombs world.

It was a site.

It was like when we were kids,

it was a site where it was like

the first one where they showed

like crazy things like stuff

like that, like what you're.

Talking about like the faces of

death video.

I saw that.

Yeah, same scenario, same,

right?

Here.

No.

OK, so this guy jumps into like

head first.

Well, they're saying yeah,

they're saying he jumped in it

head first.

How?

Big is the Friar.

Yeah, how big is the Friar?

It's kind of making him freaking

me out a little bit.

He was feel like he could just

like dunk, like it's only deep

enough to maybe, you know, once

you lean over the counter, but I

mean, you couldn't submerge.

And he lived, and now he's

totally mutilated.

Well, he died later from the

injuries, but he didn't die

right away.

But they keep saying attempted

suicide.

It seems to me like he, you

know, sort of succeeded.

Mission accomplished, right?

Exactly.

That's wild.

They shut down the restaurant

for four days.

Four days 4.

Days, that's all it was.

That's probably a lot of money.

Four days, do you know?

Well, they did.

They have to get a new fryer or

just clean that one.

Just clean that one.

Just drain it and clean.

It, I mean realistically, like I

think it was up to the

restaurant.

They probably would have been

open that evening.

Jarge Extra.

We got to make these lasagna

fritters.

Everybody needs their rolls, you

know?

Yeah, what are they?

I don't go to Olive Garden where

they fries.

They're like unlimited cutlets

or something.

Breadsticks.

Unlimited breadsticks.

What do they do?

What?

I mean, it's a pasta place.

Do they?

Yeah, chicken cutlets, they fry

or yeah, fried.

Lasagna fritters.

They do lasagna.

Fritters.

Yeah, they have like calamari.

They have a whole.

Bunch.

Oh yeah, calamari.

I guess that'd be a thing.

Fried ravioli as an appetizer.

Yeah, the police probably slowed

that down, like the process.

The four days, yeah, a lady got

burned pulling them out.

Trying to save them.

Trying to, Yeah.

So I mean, I don't know how far

anyway.

I mean, you know, he thinks you

could just grab him by his belt

or by the way, he was naked.

He took all his clothes off,

grabbed by his hips and make him

out.

But if that's in the oil too,

your hands got to go in.

Can you imagine that scenario?

Oh, I'm not saving them.

Like you're in the back.

Well, we already know that

boots.

Yeah, we already know that

yourself.

Preservation is #1 in your book.

Yeah.

Oh, that guy looks like a

chicken tender.

Well, I'm hungry now.

Can I get another chicken cutlet

baby?

Oh man, did he use the syringe?

Something smells good in the

kitchen, why are you guys

cooking?

You're the guy that gets on the

boat in Titanic, the lifeboat.

Like you just women and

children.

OK, slide in.

Hello, Daddy.

That's you.

You were that guy.

He grabs a blank and puts over

his head.

That's about Bush.

Guy, first of all, how could you

not be that guy?

Well, you just hit an iceberg,

man.

I'm not that guy.

You don't see the you don't see

the water and go, man, that

looks a little cold.

I might have been going, hey, if

you scoot over on this door, we

can both get on this.

But you know, I'm push people

out of the boat.

They would have died anyways on

the door regardless.

She lived, allegedly.

No, she lived in the movie.

She lived, and then she kicked.

The stone in the.

End Yeah, she was the old lady

at the end that jumped back in

the water again.

So I mean, she should have just

went off the door.

She lived a good life.

Yeah, she didn't live a good

life.

She never cashed in that rock,

though.

I would have cashed that sucker

in.

Right, you're right, kept a low

key.

Would have would have made my

own Titanic boat.

I mean, she could have summed up

the whole movie, but it's saying

it's right here, right in the

beginning.

Sure.

Three hours saved.

Wow.

I kept it here it.

Is oh, you're looking for this,

Oh, this whole extravagant,

you're looking for this necklace

could be anywhere, you know what

I mean?

It's not around my neck.

Yeah, no, this is a replica.

'Cause that was the last one to

see it.

Wow.

OK, so getting back to Olive

Garden here.

We're at other suicides now.

We're moved out.

Fair enough.

We've gone from super hot to

super cold.

Yes, so the lady couldn't pull

him out.

Well, I don't know how.

She she pulled him out, but it

was too late.

Yeah, I don't know, Like I'm

back there, you know, prepping

the lettuce.

I was thinking I was in the

salad too.

You're cutting up the lettuce.

Like just cutting the carrots,

getting things established.

Actually, you know, Phil's going

head first into the oil.

So Bob walks in.

He's having a hard day.

Blam.

I'm like.

What do you think he look like?

You think he look like?

What's his name's dad off of

Pirates of the Caribbean.

He looked like a chimichanga.

He looked like Deadpool.

Oh yeah.

So, you know, yeah.

So like this guy shoves his head

in there and I'm just.

Yeah.

I mean, does it take a minute?

You going?

Like I.

Mean he's stripping off his

clothes.

You're not walking over when

he's doing that.

I don't know.

How to move right?

Hey, Tom.

Hey.

Tom, should you be taking your

clothes off by the deep fryer?

Yeah.

I thought we said Wednesdays was

off limits.

Hey.

Wednesday's that naked day.

That's Thursday.

Hey, you missed the hygiene

video about do's and don'ts

behind the line here in the

kitchen.

Let me wear my hair nut.

Wow, we're terrible people.

I mean, does he like put his

hands on the, you know, on left

and right and.

Then took a Oh God.

Terrible.

Like an electric chair, but it's

a fry chair.

I feel for the lady that pulled

him out.

Right, her hands and arms were

all.

Burned.

I don't know why she's yeah

'cause.

She's trying to save him.

She's a good person.

No, I mean, first of all,

anybody that's getting naked and

dunking themselves in a fryer at

work doesn't need to be saved.

Maybe she pulled him out.

By the well, I get that she's a

good person, but like that whole

scenario seems so strange.

Like how do you how do you

mentally process all of it

that's going on?

Like honestly, you're there

when.

You're driving to work, you're

having a bad day, you're upset

and you're thinking, hell, you

stick my head in the fryer when

I get there.

Yeah, that's not how I'm going

out.

But no, I'm talking about the

lady like oh, normal person

having a normal life probably,

you know, I mean probably still

some levels of misery 'cause she

still is a cook at Olive Garden

or right, you know what I mean?

So so.

I don't know why she.

Could have been a waitress.

As far as we know, they just a.

That's that's the front of

house.

Well, she might have gone back

to get her plate to go.

Oh my Lord.

Phil put his head in the prayer.

OK, why?

Why did he get naked?

Can we just please break that

down?

So really that's what I'm saying

though, like this person is

there like, and you're like,

he's taking off his right.

You know what I mean?

Well, and, and then and then

it's like, Oh my, he just shoved

his head in the front.

I don't like, I don't know how

to process that mentally.

Like if he went in and pulled a

gun to his head, I'd understand.

Oh God, he'll do.

It reasonable rain.

Yeah, I'm like, oh, this guy's

having a bad day, right?

Well, don't kill anybody else.

Just shoot yourself please.

If you get burned with fabric,

it's hard to get the fabric off

of you.

Maybe that's what he was.

Thinking I was so oh, so he's

highly intelligent.

Maybe just in case I survive

this, I want him to be peeling

the fabric out of my skin.

Got it.

So he took his pants off.

They said he got naked.

You said that he just dunked his

head on her.

Did he keep his socks on and he

jumped in?

I don't.

Know how did he have his socks

on?

They didn't specifically

mention.

Real GS would have cut their

socks.

He.

Put his crotch back on so he you

know.

And his Crocs.

You know what, Crocs?

How old was he?

There was no mention of his age.

He probably did have Crocs.

OK.

All right.

All right, cigar news.

Oh wait, Michael, do you have a

video for us today like the one

yesterday?

I do not have a video today.

Oh, thank.

Goodness, thank goodness.

Anyone throw it in the middle of

what's the score maybe?

Yeah, yeah.

Maybe I'll add it later.

All right there.

You go.

All right.

Cigar news, El Mago.

Is that how you say that?

Yeah.

El Mago releasing the Beach

Blend next week.

Oh, it's a new regular

production cigar from El Mango

Cigars.

It's named after a memory he has

about his grandfather.

Oh, this is all tied into his.

Grandfather.

Yes.

The whole whole line is named

after his grandmother and his

grandfather, who died when that

building fell down in Miami.

Oh, I seen these cigars.

It's the one that ends in the

blue and pink tubos.

We've carried them, yeah 4.

Yes.

Are we going to get the beach?

We don't carry them anymore.

We're not getting the beach.

Yeah.

It's a 5 by 50 box press robusto

made by the Mexican San Andreas

rapper, covering A Creolo binder

grown in Estelli, Nicaragua and

a filler blend of tobaccos from

Condega Estelli Halapa regions

of Nicaragua.

Price.

It's a bundle cigar.

There's no box.

It's a bundle cigar.

Well, it's in a bundle.

It's not a bundle cigar.

It's still very pretty and has

all the, you know, like it looks

like the other stuff, but no

tube.

But it's in a bundle, not a box.

You want to know the single

price stick or is it?

Yeah, single price stick, but I

didn't tell you how many they

come in yet.

OK.

It's a robusto. 12. 15. 8.

Yes. 25 count bundle.

Bing bong.

OK.

So it's a $200 ish bundle?

Yeah, it doesn't say the package

of the bundle.

Yeah, 180.

Bucks does it say the beach on

it?

It does say the beach on it and

it's blue and.

White 190.

Bucks, it might not be a bad

cigar for Florida.

Well, I mean, it's very, it's

very.

You want me to talk about it on

the Patreon?

I'm more than willing to talk

about it.

I'm not going to get yelled at

on this one on this this.

Show.

It's a very pretty looking blue

and white cigar.

Very Beachy looking.

Right.

But you know.

OK, right.

Andre Sanchez, national sales

director of El Mago Cigars, told

Half Wheel that the name of the

cigar.

Oh, we already talked about

this.

Yeah, Nick Fuschko used to see.

That's what's great about your

grandfather underneath.

See that you made the

conversation so much better when

you read the article and then

you talk about it and then we

made our comments and now it

sounds like a real podcast.

Thank you so much it.

Sounds like three of us just

sitting around.

Which is better?

Right, and our viewers and

listeners appreciate that.

Appreciate all your hard work

and effort.

Nice.

Thank you.

All right, Sweeping the cigar

industry is a huge story.

It's everywhere.

We covered yesterday on our

Patreon, which comes out

tomorrow at 5:00 AM.

We took a deeper dive and yes.

Yeah, yes, we had some

misinformation.

Oh, OK, go on.

He's reading 1.

Was corrected by.

Well, I'm trying to decide where

to start with it.

It was corrected by half wheel.

OK, well, let's set the

precedence of what happened.

Juan Cancel allegedly merged

with Abe for Smokin and Abe.

What we understood was that Abe

has now purchased protocol

cigars.

That's what we heard.

That that was the original story

that came correct.

Well, apparently Juan Cancel is

not the sole owner of said

company.

That would make sense, right?

'Cause I saw a gentleman

congratulated himself sort of

and one for the sale and I asked

a couple of questions and he is

one of the owners of the not

protocol, but that cigar

company.

Cabre.

Yeah, Cabre own or whatever Cuba

recall.

So we covered the the company

that owns protocol was bought by

smoking in a dabba dabba.

But that's not what really

happened in a statement from

half wheel.

I'm going to read this exactly.

An earlier version of the story

indicated that whatever the name

of that cigar company had been

acquired by Smoke in that was

incorrect and based on a press

release from that from, I don't

matter how you say it, from that

company.

A subsequent press release

issued by Smoke in along with a

company representative clarified

that it has acquired only the

intellectual property and brand

assets of Protocol Cigars from

that cigar company.

So they just bought the rights

to use the name.

Got it, but none of their stuff.

But none of their stuff and it

is exclusively now a.

Smoke in.

Smoke in thing.

So what we were worried about

with other salesman or something

across the country doesn't

matter it's.

Exclusive smoke in OK, so you

know, OK, so like we, we took,

we went and we did a deep dive

on the Patreon as to the pros

and the cons and, and to all of

the things as to who benefits

and who loses out.

And if you want to listen to

that, please

login.checkcheckoutourpatreon@cigarhousepodcast.com.

It still correlates with what

you're saying, right?

But there is that one fragment

that's removed.

However, everything else kind of

lines up.

So don't don't give any of that

away.

No, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Is it?

As part of the change, Protocol

will transition to an exclusive

line for Smoke in, which will

carry it both online and

selection of its retail

locations.

That makes sense.

Yes, OK.

That way Smoke in is not

competing with itself with other

retailers, but this particular

line.

Right.

So it's only a line, not the

whole protocol.

They possess the intellectual

look.

The only there's the only thing

that has value is the

intellectual property, right?

It's not certain.

It's not stuff, right?

Right.

So the the real question was

what's the value of that

intellectual property?

And and, you know, if it's just

the intellectual property, can

Abe 10 exit now that it's his

right?

The answer is probably yeah.

Probably.

Yeah.

The big difference between

yesterday and today is we

thought they bought the cigar

company.

They only bought the brand

right?

Makes sense, right?

You know, what's really kind of

funny though, is that that press

release hit Dojo talked about

it, right?

Dojo's tied to smoke in right,

right.

I don't, you know, loosely, but

there's still a media source,

right?

And then Coop reported it,

right, right.

And then and then half wheel

reported it, right?

I don't know how the coop half

wheel timeline as.

Right.

As far as how that plays out,

however, like if we're bad for

media, right, we do a press

release, we submit it to

everybody else, right, right.

And then we cover it on our

show, right?

But if Abe does it and it gets

released to Dojo first, Oh good

for media like where's?

Abe or Dojo?

Well, is Abe.

They're kind of linked, right?

Either my understanding was the

show is bad for the industry,

not us, particularly as a brand

of cigars.

Right, but but like this show

right does not drop a press

release on something.

Before releases, others before.

Right before it goes oh right,

because we respect the other

media sources.

I don't know why Abe didn't save

it to cover it himself and have

one on his show on Saturday.

Right.

I mean, that would have been a

good move.

That would have been the move.

I mean, he gave it to Dojo,

which you should.

Like you said, it's smoking

light.

How many?

Yeah, but how many viewers does

Dojo have versus how many

viewers does?

Is it KMA or something?

I think Abe has more 'cause.

He's I don't.

Know it's got they both have a a

tremendous amount of.

Abe's on the military network

thing, he says every week.

Is he?

Or maybe that's two guys, I

don't remember.

One of them is.

Oh, yeah, somebody wrote that

they, you know, hey, TC, you

know, TCA better than you guys

all day or whatever, something

like that.

Oh, like I love you guys but TC

as better.

And I said well hey man, thanks.

I mean, I appreciate it.

It's your opinion, right?

We love TCA too, right?

Huh.

Matter of fact, let's go to the

lighter Cam, Michael.

And what's today's lighter?

Jeez.

Who's TCA?

The Cigar Authority.

The Cigar Authority.

Two guys.

Dave Garofalo, my friend.

I don't know why I was only

saying two guys cigars in my

head.

Because hey, that's the name of

the shop.

It's just easier to say you just

refer to him as two guys, right?

Right.

But I'm surprised they got the

first press release wrong.

So then Dojo had to have said

said it wrong and then Abe

corrected.

Wait, we didn't buy the cigar

company, we bought the brand.

So.

How'd they get it wrong?

Maybe Juan gave the information

to Dojo and then Abe says whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, we didn't buy let's.

Let's slow down here, right?

This is what the press release

should stay, right?

So maybe Juan got ahead of

himself.

Maybe got a little excited.

That would make sense, yeah.

Keep buying all my sticks.

As long as it breaks.

Down everything.

As long as it breaks down to,

you know, it making sense and

we're still bad for the

industry, I'm fine with that.

Oh.

Certainly everybody's happy and

this.

Is why you're still bad.

This is why.

And they're and they're still

good, right?

You're evil.

We're evil.

Got it.

Thank you very much.

We should get a a cigar house or

podcast booth one year at the at

the PCA.

Yeah, just let it sit empty.

Just just let it sit empty.

Big sign that says we are bad

for the industry.

Bad for the industry?

Take take a brochure.

I'd schedule an interview with.

Coop hey never happened and he

never interviews us.

He's called us.

We've had him call in in the

show before.

No, no, no.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't think he would know you.

Don't think he'd take the call.

Yeah, we have a great clip from

him.

Did you guys remember?

Quaaludes and yeah.

Like cocaine.

I got Quaaludes.

Cocaine.

Yeah, that was.

Great.

That was great.

We've read that for a while.

I still love the guy even though

he hates us.

Oh, I don't.

I don't dislike him.

All right, Fiero Tego.

Oh, they're having an

anniversary.

Oh.

Anniversary, you guys, How long?

50 years?

No, 30 years, 30 years.

You got it right.

Boom, boom, boom.

And they're celebrating with a

metropolitan new limited

edition.

Is it flavored?

Is it regular?

The Metropolitan is normally

sweet tipped, yeah.

It is a 6 by 50 Toro with a

blend that uses an Ecuadorian

Habano wrapper, a Dominican

binder, and a mix of Dominican

and Nicaraguan fillers.

Is that the one that's sweet

dipped?

Yeah.

The Connecticut, it's called the

host.

Oh, maybe, I don't know.

We don't Fact Check on no the.

Metropolitan's not.

That's that fatter 1.

Metropolitan is the host.

Yeah, that's the well.

But the host is the sweet tipped

version of the Metropolitan.

No, I think that's just the

size.

I've had I've had the

metropolitan before.

It is sweet tipped.

One of them is David Mealy, used

to always give me one for my

wife.

And he said in the industry he

was referred to as the panty

dropper.

David Mealy.

Yeah, back when he used to work

there.

It's that guy is always funny

for one miners it's.

The panty dropper that's.

What?

He said.

Because the women like it.

It's.

The.

They make it at the Quesada.

The Quesada family at Tabacos de

Exportation factory in the

Dominican Republic with 2500

boxes of 10 cigars, 25,000

cigars.

How much is the anniversary?

Limited edition cigar from Fiero

Tego the Metropolitan?

Not sweet tipped because it's

the host, not the host.

Yeah, these are like more

Northern type cigars anyways

though, right?

Northern, yes, I would say yes.

We mean we carry them here.

We do carry them here 'cause we

like.

Not the anniversary.

I'm going to guess 25 A cigar,

right?

We'll talk about a cigar.

Yeah, a yeah, a cigar. 25 bucks.

I'm going to call it 30. $30.00

for 30th anniversary.

Yeah.

It's way off 1350.

Really.

Metropolitan Host is a cigar

dude.

The Metropolitan Host is the

robusto size.

Oh, Oh yeah, and this is the

this isn't his Suma or one of

his others.

This is this is the the more.

This is the one from the.

The has a townhouse, the.

Hide is $11.90 for 12 bucks so

that would make sense.

I'm sorry, I must have thrown

him off, but I thought an

anniversary cigar.

Yeah, they don't double the.

Price.

Yeah, it's like 15 bucks I would

say.

What'd you say?

1350, man, if the regular one's

around 1350, you don't go.

This is the same size, let's

make it twice the price.

Why not?

Super special 30 years it won't

buy you.

Don't know that.

Getting into the things people

don't know the price of.

Yeah.

Paul Stulak's Blue Lightning is

heading to store.

Blue Lightning.

Sky, sorry, Blue lightning.

Sky heads to stores.

You heard of Paul Sulak?

I have.

Well, have you like we've

mentioned this brand before?

Oh, they have very unusual

names.

He's been around for a long

time.

He actually disappeared for a

period of time and now he's kind

of popped back up.

Oh yeah.

So his cigars are made at Las

Vegas Cigar Factory overseas by

Guillermo Pena.

He used to work, I think he used

to work with Kiki Berger back in

the day.

Berger and Argentine, I think.

So that would have been her

husband or with her.

That would have been the

original husband, yeah.

John Kiki.

His other cigars are called The

Red Screaming Sun.

OK, the White Blinding Light.

Do you think he microdoses?

He has now, he's got blue

lightning skies, so he's keeping

the theme going at least.

Everything's just, you know,

flowing through.

What's different about this

cigar is.

No skulls.

Does he have a skull on it?

No.

No skulls?

No.

Skulls.

He doesn't give an MSRP, he just

makes the wholesale price and

then lets the market decide what

it should cost.

Or the retailer.

Yes.

I mean, everybody's going to

keystone it.

Or more.

No, because here's what happens.

Let's say the wholesale is 5

bucks and retail is 10.

And a retailer looks at it and

says it's $10, right?

And then you go to somebody else

and this retailer says it's $15.

They're going to say whoa, whoa,

wait a second.

So it's 10, just got it over

here.

Yeah.

What are we, what are we doing

right.

So even and you're better

retailers like your online guys

that are well developed, they're

going to show you that the MSRP

is $10 and they're going to sell

it for $8, you know, So yeah,

that doesn't work.

But then he says all that.

But then he tells halfway what

the what the MSRP is.

Oh really?

What's the MSRP?

Hold on wholesale price and then

the cigars are sold to retailers

and then he allows those

retailers at the market to

dictate the price.

But in a comment to Half Wheel,

he says they're $12.00.

Man I was thinking 12 bucks.

They should be around $12.00 for

the Screaming Blue Mimi or

whatever it's called.

So he so he gave that press

release and then right Charlie

or somebody else ask pushed him

a lot ask questions.

Come on, what's the MSRP OK to

be?

Folded. $12.00 Don't.

Tell me.

Well, it's about 12 bucks.

About 12 bucks.

Screaming blue Mimi.

Was that like a Drew Carey

thing?

Blue.

Screaming lightning blue.

Screaming lightning.

Oh, I thought you said Mimi.

You know all that makeup I saw a

thing all that makeup on Mimi's

face caused rashes and they had

to make special makeup for her

really, right, because her face

would lock up for the for the

show was.

Really.

So they, yeah, they had to

create their own makeup because

their skin was sensitive.

Blue screaming Mimi.

Blue screaming.

Yeah, that would have been nice.

OK.

Right now, it's time for the

industry's favorite game show.

What's the score?

Very good gentlemen.

Our cigar today is February 9th,

2026.

Patrick Lagreed is on during

Cigar the Placencia.

This is a redux gentleman.

It's only one cigar.

With smoke is the Conseca 151 La

Musica.

Oh, that's a good, that's a good

cigar.

You had this one.

Yeah, the 1:51.

I by the way, I apologize to the

Rep through LinkedIn.

I was a little hard on him when

he was here.

Were you?

Oh, it might have been before

you came out when he was.

What cigar would you like?

I go, well, can I have the one

from the top of the mountain?

He goes, no, they don't let me

up though.

They go.

Can I have the one from the

bottom of the mountain?

He goes, oh, it's going to be

that kind of visit.

You weren't hard on him.

Oh, I, I felt a little bad.

So he had mentioned that we were

friends on LinkedIn.

So I went on and told him what

it you know, it was a pleasure

meeting you and we'll run into

each.

Other Did he respond?

Yeah, he goes.

It was nice meeting you too.

Thank you very much.

Yeah.

Yeah, I, I felt bad.

There was.

I'm like, man, that's a little

hard.

That wasn't hard at all.

That's.

Kind of an asshole.

I mean, yes, but that wasn't

hard.

Yeah, I know.

So what else is new?

Like right, but I don't know it

just it didn't sit right with me

when I when I left.

You grew A conscience all of a.

Sudden.

Yeah, yeah.

All of a sudden, yeah.

Well, I just, I mean, the first

time I met him, I mean, if I,

you know, if it was law, I

wouldn't have apologized if I

gave him shit.

So.

Really.

I don't remember.

We're a different level, he my

friend.

I don't remember who the Rep

was, but they'll remember they

came in and this was back when

Jason Louis was running Drew

Estate A.

Long time ago.

Yeah, and he was one of our, he

would always come in, right?

And we didn't.

And we had more downtime back

then.

So he, you know, a Rep was

coming in and I said, OK,

listen, you're going to act like

the owner, right?

And I want you to fuck with him.

So he did.

He gave him a hard time about

cigars, gave him all the stuff

for about 1520 solid minutes.

And you could tell that the guy

started to get uncomfortable.

And eventually we let him in on

him that we were, you know, he's

just another Rep.

So whatever.

It's just, it's all in fun.

Oh, I know.

Yeah.

I'm sure we scarred that guy for

life.

I don't even know.

I don't.

Know stayed for quite a while.

Yeah, he was good to hang.

Him and Edgar knew each other,

and they were sitting there.

Yeah, you didn't say anything

that was intense, You know what

I mean?

You didn't say anything that was

inappropriate.

You were just being funny.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

All right.

All right.

Scores, gentlemen, you.

Want me to go first?

One Second 151 Live.

Games, sure.

This is the one from the music.

Oh wait, I haven't had this.

I've had the regular.

Was it wine?

Gold Band.

I don't know.

One second, yeah. 89.

Yeah, that's a good.

That's a good number.

I don't think it's going to get

a 90.

So it's definitely going to be

in the 80s, but it'll be high

80s, so I'm going to go 87.

And you said 89.

Oh, you said OK, the country of

origin is Honduras, factory is

Tabacos de Oriente.

That means they have Chinese

people working their boots.

Oh.

Wrappers, Honduras.

Binders Honduras, Fillers

Honduras.

It's a 5 by 50 round cigar and

they smoked one because it's a

redux. 88. 87.

Clue and #1 The cigar burned

Florida State from start to

finish with fantastic

construction, solid draw and 0

issues.

Always a win, especially over a

long one hour and 45 minutes

smoke. 90 Turn on the brain.

Go.

He.

Didn't turn the motor on.

Yeah, clue #2 trouble.

The transition from charcoal

smokiness to driven a terrier

terror driven earth pepper,

subtle green apple, and

finishing warm nuttiness kept

the experience dynamic.

The final third especially

delivered a richer, fuller

expression without losing

balance 91.

Wait, hold on a second.

Everything in there other than

the apple was like putting your

mouth to the ground and tasting

it.

Yes, like how does that a good?

Because it's got nice earthy

tone.

Honduran cigars are, generally

speaking, kind of earthy anyway.

Turn on the brain.

There it is.

I heard it.

I heard it too.

I'm sticking 88.

It's got a slow start.

Slit it in there. 88.

Third clue.

The cigar opens strong but dials

back from medium, plus the

medium in the first half.

Oh, and the finish leans thin

and dry at times.

Oh, it builds again later, but

the early drop off slightly

disrupts the momentum.

Oh.

It's an up and down ride,

gentlemen.

It's smoking up and down. 89.

88.

Final thought, given the

original score of Placencia

Conseca One 51151 La Mujica, I

was particularly diligent in not

looking at my notes from that

review until after I smoked the

redux cigar.

Does that mean they go back and

check their notes then when they

do the reduxes?

I guess.

As well, I remember enjoying it.

I didn't want to prime my mind

with exactly why, after two

years in the humidor, the cigar

is still dynamic and full of

transitions, including plenty of

the refined flavor that makes

Honduran tobaccos shine when

when grown.

Sorry, shine when grown,

processed and rested as it needs

to be, needs to unlock the best

it has to offer.

While it's tough to compare a

single cigar to three smoke two

years prior, there are still

some consistencies.

The progression of flavor is

largely similar, though some of

the swings now seem a bit more

pronounced than my notes would

suggest they did.

Originally he just said he

didn't check his notes.

Now he just said he says his

notes.

Oh, he didn't check his notes

before he smoked.

It ah, I got you.

The construction remains

fantastic and the overall

experience continues to be on

par with what the cigars

originally offered.

This is a solid reminder that

the Placencia Cosecca What a way

151 is an absolutely fantastic

line and when they should be

smoked at any opportunity.

Wow.

He loved it.

He, yeah, he's like this.

Is the best earthy dirt cigar

I've ever had.

I want to find the review of the

cigar called Dirt.

See what he says.

Yeah.

They were natural made one.

But I know, I understand.

It hated it.

Loved it. 89. 88.

You went the wrong way. 93 he

got a 90. 93. 93 He loved it.

Oh my.

I knew I was safe at 89.

It's.

A pretty good bet.

Yeah, because I knew he wasn't

going to go above it.

God.

That's horrible.

I win again.

Anything else to add?

On the 25th, I'll be at

Northport Cigars in Northport,

Florida, from 1:00 to 5:00, I

believe.

And yeah, it's an afternoon

thing.

I'll probably be there later.

Excellent, 'cause I'd rather be

there till like 7 or 8.

Yeah, but he wants me there at

1.

He has a big afternoon crowd on

that day, he said.

So.

So he'll be there from 1:00 to

8:00.

I'm not going to promise that

just in case something happens,

but like at the Island gym the

other day thing, the people were

coming in and I was still

selling cigars, so I stayed

longer.

Oh, nice.

But you're going to be there

from 1:00 to 1:00. 41 to five is

the scheduled time, OK.

All right, cool.

Yeah, if they're buying, I'm

staying.
