Palmer is yours on the last one.
Yeah, but I think I can go in.
All right, at YT Video Rank
talks about how he loves our
show.
I don't know if he's legit or
not.
If you are, thank you very much.
Oh, I think I can go.
Nope.
It's going to give me a
headache.
Rook's coding says.
What kind of cigars does Palmer
smoke when he finds this info?
He means am I high?
Yeah.
Is that what he's refereing?
The guys, the no gravity, he's
on the no gravity show, right?
How the hell did he find the no
gravity thing?
Gotcha.
Well, that was sent in by
listeners, actually by several.
So I was people were throwing
that at me.
He's like fine, fine, we'll do
the no gravity.
How does he look?
How does he look with the hat on
there?
Oh, I had him whole time trying
it on.
Oh dude, but how does it look
right now?
Crooked.
Crooked.
It's alright.
It's.
Alright, if it looks a little
crooked, but it's it's viewable.
No, it looks good.
OK, Yeah.
It looks good alright.
Real smoke pod has said boot.
Sounds a little like bad acting
Japanese samurai with a throat
problem.
Yeah, I mean that's that's gonna
happen.
You know, he was a little ill on
that show, so he doesn't like to
be viewed when he's not feeling
well.
So data Cash also said, I'll go
to TPE with you, provided you
bring that sweet onesie.
Bing Bong Oh, I've got me a big
red jersey onesie for
Valentine's Day.
Is what you referring.
To Oh, he gave the Bing bong.
Yes, he gave it a Bing bong.
Also, we had the grassy Knoll
1963 say Placencia just had one
allegedly as well in referencing
the fire.
We're going to get into that
today.
And, and, and I covered Steven
Wells the week prior with the,
the, the moon landing hoax.
He's he wanted you to know that
you know we landed on the moon.
Oh, he was there, Yeah, he said.
We did.
Steven Wells was there.
Yeah, it's you know what?
I'm going to elaborate since you
missed it.
Thanks for the show for clearing
up that moon landing hoax.
I would suggest that Boots the
astrophysicist takes the show on
the road, do a broadcast from
MIT and clear up some more myths
like Einstein's E eagles MC
squared.
Really.
Doesn't that sound more like Run
DMC No Tell Motel Equal, MC
Squared?
Your show could straighten out a
whole generation of scientists.
Oh yeah, and lyricalist, I
guess.
And.
Lyrical We just did a recording
of the Patreon.
Where we covered.
A couple things we we went back
into one of the topics that we
that we discussed on the
previous Patreon and we.
No, you guys talked about it on
the show with Willie.
I wasn't here that day.
No, no, I'm talking about the
other part, the first thing, but
thanks for correcting me.
And then we, we also took a
little bit more of a deep dive
into the Jonathan Drew, Jonathan
Son's, whatever's name happens
to the retail operation.
So it you know, if you want more
value and more education and and
more witty banter, check out our
Patreon, thepatreon.com, the
Cigar Hustlers Podcast, and now
Palmer.
Now the news.
So for the first time in
history, NASA is allowing the
astronauts to take their cell
phones into space.
You.
Can make a call.
I well, you know, that's what I
was wondering about.
I guess you're closer to the
satellites.
Why wouldn't it work?
They probably get a better
reception.
You know the sad part is that I
can't make a call in Costco,
right?
But my wife can't make a call
inside the school she's at.
But if I'm in space, I can call,
is there which provider is the
best T-Mobile, Is it Verizon, is
it AT&T?
You can.
See what Starlink?
Starlink, yeah.
Oh, it's that she doesn't work.
I, I told you I I had that oh,
use our satellite and that,
that.
Was got to be Wi-Fi Even so you
can make Wi-Fi calls.
So does it make it an iPhone?
Think it's a Wi-Fi call.
FaceTime in.
Hey, honey.
Hey, I'm just doing the dishes.
Where are you?
I'm in.
Space.
I'm in space.
You know you didn't take out the
trash before you left.
Thanks so much.
Oh yeah, here comes the breaking
Rd.
Look at the window.
It's breaking up.
The service is horrible out
here.
What if an what if an astronaut
is just like totally miserable
in his relationship and he's
like can't wait to get space?
Right.
It was like the time when.
Like 6 months of peace and
quiet.
My dad used to say when he
started going to China
originally, long time ago, the
best part of it was nobody could
call him for two weeks.
Yeah, I mean, nothing, he said.
And then we got faxes and it was
a little, little annoying, but
there's a phone rings.
Forget it.
It wasn't any fun going.
Anymore.
Like they can call me anywhere I
go.
Brittany always says when I go
away, she's like the first like
day or two is terrible, but then
after that she's like just I
can't wait till you leave.
I'm like, oh, thanks, a little
break, a little break for her.
So the reason they've never, oh,
it says modern phones, oh,
Androids are available too, by
the way.
The reason they've never done it
before because there's extensive
testing to make sure that it
doesn't affect anything.
It doesn't, right?
Like radiation, they got a check
and all sorts of stuff and by
the time they have cleared the
phone, there's new phones.
It takes too long.
So now the new guy that's in
charge just went fuck it, take
the phone.
You're fine.
You're fine.
Everything's fine.
It's like the airplanes, you
know, first you can't have it on
during the plane.
And they're like, we don't care.
Well, they still say hey.
They still say hey, but all the
there's like 1/2 of a 1% chance
that it affects the.
Stuff in the they're not going
around saying is your phone off?
Is your phone off?
Right, unless you're talking on
it as they're trying to take
off.
I will say this though, airplane
mode will save the battery when
you're traveling.
Right.
I always put on airplane mode
just for that fact, right?
Because your phone's looking for
a signal the entire time if not,
and it drains the matter down.
Yeah.
So they say we're giving our
crews the tools that capture
special moments for their
families and share inspiring
images and videos with the
world.
So I guess they're going to be
able to post on in social media.
Yeah.
Selfie look.
It'll be good for us.
We know we want to promote the
space program, so we have to,
right?
That's basically what it is we
need.
We need more people want to be
astronauts.
We have to up our social media
presence.
So Phil, are you going to go to
space anytime soon?
No, it's fake.
Remember, he says, it's.
Fake.
It's not even real.
No, no, going to space is real,
but I don't know if they went to
the moon.
I think they went to the moon.
Yeah, yeah.
Did you did So you I guess I I
wasn't here on well, I was here,
but I wasn't here anyways.
Did you guys test this theory?
That's what I heard you were
saying something about was
Steven Wells.
Test what theory?
Test.
What theory did you guys talk
about the moon again on the last
episode?
No, no, no, just Steven Wells
commented on the episode where
we talked about.
The Movie.
And you obviously didn't watch
the show, so.
He doesn't watch the show when
he's not on.
No, I watch the show all the
time.
If the clips he watches the
clips I got.
News for you, if I'm Phil, I
definitely want to watch the
show that I'm not on.
Oh yeah, to see exactly what I'm
on.
Yeah, you are never not on the
show.
Yeah, I I know I and that's why
I don't watch the show 'cause I
already know you too.
It's.
Really good.
Apparently the last thing that
was approved that they could use
on the on space that was not
part of the space program were
Gopros from 2010.
Gopros.
Wow.
Wow, yeah, the Gopros were from
early 2010 that were approved
previously.
Like, hey guys, 16 years later,
right?
I want to go move on here.
What if this gets out of hand?
What if the cell phone thing
gets out of hand with the
astronauts like.
Like they're not paying
attention to their job because
they're playing.
Yeah, what if you got the one
joke?
Guys looking at TikTok, some
guys playing Bejeweled and then.
Hold on, hold on.
I'm about to level up.
Hold on, can somebody share me
some jewels?
Yeah, what if you got like the
one jokes here that's like,
yeah, he like sends like a
picture from space, isn't.
That like racist though?
No, it's like, yeah, is.
It that is, yeah.
I don't know what that means.
Yeah.
You better not have gone to you
on that one.
I'm gonna have to edit that out.
Wow, good. 11 minutes.
Oh.
Great.
Yeah, make sure you so much.
Better when he's not on there.
Make sure you zoom in on his
face because because he's
unintentionally racist, he's
ignorantly racist.
Yeah, I didn't know what that
meant.
That should be a shirt for him.
Phil ignorantly racist.
It doesn't even realize how,
doesn't know how.
I mean, when we were in grade
school when you did that, like
you get punched.
Yeah, not anymore.
That's not oh, it's something
else now.
You're not allowed to do it.
Yeah, we lost that symbol.
We lose shapes, we lose.
We lose all kinds of things.
We lose all kinds of things.
Speaking of which, Michael
Jordan was pinching some little
kids butt or whatever the
Daytona 500, it looked like he
was part of his group or
whatever.
I've seen this video.
And there's a huge uproar.
About how he's a pedophile.
I feel like it's a fake video.
I don't know man.
You might even do it.
Might be it was playing with the
kid.
Yeah, look like he was just
playing around like.
I got your nose.
Except, well, the kid, well.
The kid is, I think that's the
kid of the racer.
Is he?
That is so.
He knows.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Of the car he owns.
Yeah.
I didn't even know he.
Owned it, I mean, but it was a
full grab.
No, it was a two finger.
Was it a two finger?
But he's got big fingers.
I think I say he's got big
fingers.
He might have been a whole.
Butt, I mean, was it the best
approach?
No.
But like was it harmless?
I think it's harmless.
I think it was harmless, yeah.
I don't think he was, you know,
sexually grasping at the kids.
House, we live in this world
that you know.
I don't think Michael Jordan.
Like like everything is under
this scope man.
It's.
Just like, oh, you can't do
anything, Yeah.
Yeah, I think like he had, you
know, his thing was it wasn't
kids.
It was like prostitutes and
strippers, right?
Wasn't that his thing back in
the day?
Gambling and.
No, that was magic.
I don't know.
That was magic.
Oh, it was magic.
Magic's the one who has the aids
from all the sex, right?
That's the one.
You think that the NBA athletes
have to pay for it?
Oh, I'm sure.
They don't pay for it.
Well, I mean, maybe that was the
same.
Maybe you'd like to pay for it?
Maybe they paid for weird stuff,
who knows.
Yeah, maybe there there's like
a.
You guys.
Monkey.
There's like a monkey in there
and everything.
Yeah, like you.
Guys just gone down this weird
rabbit hole.
I don't here I am defending
Michael Jordan.
You guys like, well, you know,
like, no.
No, all of a sudden magic comes
out.
I was like, I don't know how I
got these monkey pogs, but you
know, there's those monkeys in
the room with this one.
What?
Oh God.
When I do stuff at Adrian's
school, like when I was Santa
Claus and stuff, even then I'm
like, careful when you know, the
kids went hugs and stuff.
I'm like, I don't.
No, no, Santa has a no hug
policy.
Right, Santa has a COVID.
Strict high 5 right?
We're high 5.
Found it, fist.
Bumping suddenly right?
Yeah, new Santa rules, right?
Keep your distance.
Come on, Santa, give me a hug.
No, no, no.
There's nobody else here.
Don't hug me in pictures, I
don't want to get confused.
Yeah, crazy.
It is.
It's so weird.
Out there, yeah.
You know, say, yeah, there's
always a camera.
Say you're at a store or
something.
Some lady goes, hey, can you
take my son in the bathroom?
He needs help in the bathroom.
You go.
No, no.
I would never do that.
No, I wouldn't either.
Even without a camera, I would
never put myself in a position.
No, yeah.
I mean, there's no camera other
than maybe a security camera
shot, but yeah.
But I would never.
No, I'm not going in anywhere.
No.
Can you check on my son?
Nope.
Matter of fact, I don't have to
go anymore.
I'll go find a different
bathroom.
OK, somebody asked you to check
on.
It has happened.
Before it has happened to you,
yeah.
Oh wow, no, I'm not checking on
your child.
No, or you just open the door
and yell in.
I got news for you.
Like, I don't care if my
daughter's in the bathroom and
like, I'm concerned and it's
just me.
I'm warning people that I'm
walking in.
Oh.
I would do that too and I'm
going in sure.
Like, I'm not asking some random
stranger, right, to check on my
kid.
But you know, the other side of
that is like, you always have to
put yourself, You always have to
try to put yourself in a
position where you can never be
compromised and it's still going
to happen, you know?
So no, it doesn't make sense at
all.
Right.
So apparently the guy who's now
in charge of the phone program
flew on SpaceX, and I guess
they're allowed to have phones
on SpaceX.
Cutting edge.
They're cutting edge, right?
You know, right?
So they can do it.
Well, we can't.
We do it too.
We.
Could do it?
Can't we do it?
Why can't Michael Jordan do it?
Right.
Yeah.
So it's expected to produce the
first smartphone images from
lunar orbit.
The last humans to see the moon
up close did so before the first
mobile phone was even invented.
There you go.
Coming soon, moon selfies.
Moon selfies.
Yep.
Oh, just a what you didn't say
is I know that you said they
they had, they had the video of
Michael Jordan, but his team
won.
Yeah, they won the whole Yeah,
he.
Won.
Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
That is crazy.
Well, he just had the big
lawsuit with NASCAR, did he?
How they were taking too much
money from all the teams and
stuff.
Oh, I heard about this.
Yeah.
And then he wins.
He won the lawsuit and then he
wins the 500.
Was that part of the lawsuit?
I must win the 500.
Oh, I I no.
But he didn't win like the whole
thing, right?
I don't know where we're at in
NASCAR.
Is this the beginning?
This is the beginning they so
they won the 500, so this is the
first race.
Yeah, that's where Bert
Kreischer was.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
Did he do?
Gentleman, start your engines.
He was, you know, he, I thought
he was supposed to be the Grand
Marshall, but I seen some the
other day on Facebook.
That was somebody else.
But I thought it was always Bert
Kreischer.
I I don't know what to believe
on Facebook anymore, man to be.
Honest that he that he was
always the.
I thought he was the start of
the engines guy, like, 'cause
Kevin James did it I think the
year before.
So yeah, that when you hear all
the time.
Yeah, I think, you know, and he
was practicing it like he was
doing the videos, Yeah, of him
like, you know, Starcher engines
and he was doing a big party
and.
He did a thing on Publix pub pub
Subs on Facebook the other day
too.
Yeah, I know.
He also did like a comedy thing
at Doctor Phillips.
When he yeah and he was on one O
4.1 radio on Friday too at some
event they.
Were yeah, that's the monsters,
right?
Yeah, the monsters, yeah.
From what I understand from
Ginger, he follows Burt Burt
pretty heavily.
He loves the monsters, right.
Yeah, he he will do anything for
those guys, from what I
understand.
Interesting, I have AI will have
a video for you in a second
'cause I did.
I did see a Bert Kreischer video
that yeah.
They see him pinching somebody's
butt.
Is it the one where he takes his
shirt off?
No, no, I thought that.
Was Nope, none of that.
All right, Colorado is going to
legalize prostitution.
OK, Become the third state in
the country to legalize
prostitution.
Do you have the other two?
I think Nevada's one of them.
Nevada's one of them, but
they're trying to get away from
it.
Are they?
Maine is the other one.
Maine.
Maine.
Yes, so weird, huh They're.
Just tucked up in the right.
Corner.
Guess that Oh, that would have
never you never you have one in
48 is not you would have never
got it right.
Yeah.
But what is legal is to sell,
not to buy.
OK, what's not illegal in Maine?
Oh.
And man, you can sell sex, you
just can't buy the SO.
If you purchase it, you can get
in trouble.
Right, It's to protect the sex
worker from.
Something that doesn't make much
sense.
No it doesn't, right?
Yeah.
How do you sell it as well?
It's like saying you can sell
drugs you can't buy.
Drugs.
I am possessed in possession of
the illegal substance.
So Colorado be the first state
in the US to fully decriminalize
prostitution if it became a law.
So like in Nevada, there's
certain conditions has to be at
a brothel and all those sorts of
different things.
You can't just be a person on
the street, but in Colorado you
can smoke dope and you can buy
sex.
It doesn't matter wherever.
Nope.
I need more dope.
It is decriminalizing commercial
sexual activity among consenting
adults, both for people who buy
sex and for who would sell sex.
This would be unique in the US
as the only other state with any
form of legal prostitution is
Maine and Nevada, and we've
already talked about that do.
You have a problem with this?
No, I mean, I'm not, I'm not
planning on buying any, but I
mean.
Yeah, I.
It's a moral issue more than
anything else to know.
I mean, if she says she wants
to, he says he wants to pay for
it.
Why do I care?
Right.
What about you, Phil?
No, I mean that that's what they
want to do.
I mean, that's their job I
guess.
That's their.
Job.
Yeah, I mean, I I guess there's
an ask for every seat, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is supposedly the
oldest business in.
I think the main thing's weird
though.
Like what do you do?
Just put the money on the ground
and like, oh, I they found the
money.
Well, they don't want to punish
in the transaction.
They don't want to punch punish
the worker.
Jack's calling me.
Hey, hey, you're on the podcast.
That what's up, buddy?
I'm on a.
Podcast.
Yeah, we're podcasting, right?

Oh God.
Wow.
Right.
Olympic athletes are promised a
fresh stock of condoms after
Valentine's Day because they've
run out.
OK.
On Valentine's Day at the Milan
Courtia Olympics, a renewed
supply of free condoms for
athletic villages promised by
organizers.
Why do you find this funny?
Because they ran out of condoms.
These people are having so much
sex.
They ran out of condoms.
Does that surprise you do?
You think they're using it for
that?
They're making balloon animals.
They're not making balloons.
I did a little match so they
they supplied.
It was like 1000 or something
like that.
Oh.
OK, at the Summer Olympics,
there was a hold on going the
wrong way.
That's the wrong way, too.
All right, They had plenty at
the Summer Olympics.
They don't run out.
But here there was 300,000
condoms provided for more than
10. 1300 thousand for. 10,500
athletes at the 2024 Paris
Summer Games and supposedly the
reason they made those beds out
of cardboard and everything,
they were trying to make it less
fun, but they so it might have
worked 'cause it didn't run out.
But at the Winter Games they
made ten.
They gave away 10,000 condoms
for 2800 athletes.
So basically everybody got 3.
That's not enough.
No, Plus you could be there for
17 days.
The whole event takes 17.
Days, dude, you're a you're
talking about athletes from all
over the world.
They're in, right?
This is the best I'm ever gonna
look.
Right.
And you're gonna stick them all
in a in an area.
Wait a second, hold on a second.
You know, Maine is mad about not
being or saying like, you can't
buy stuff, but we're just gonna
provide condoms over here to the
Olympics.
Yeah, no money exchanges.
Hands.
Yeah, we're talking about
consensual sex. 2020 something
basically year old athletes.
This is so weird.
We make fun of the villages all
the time.
This is the villages, just
younger.
For 17 days, right?
Right.
Well, better than having some
drug or not drugs, some.
Disease.
Young athletes, right, They're
in their early adulthood.
Ages, right?
They're in.
Their physiques are probably at
their peak.
That's what I mean.
If I'm going to be seen naked,
this is the time I want to be
seen.
Naked and not only that not only
that but they're you know
they're they're winning medals,
right so like.
So that that constitutes a, a
good just, you know, blow out.
Huh.
But think about it, you could
have like a bingo card, you
know?
I need 2 Scandinavians and.
Where's that with a broken leg?
That skis.
You don't think that a gold
athlete, a gold athlete and, and
peak physique is going to
attract people that they're
going to be like, oh, I, you
know, I want that.
Maybe, I don't know.
It could be once.
Maybe what are you talking?
About once in a lifetime
opportunity, yeah.
These guys like of course.
You know, I'm, I'm Jamaican
bobsled.
I'm never going to see a blonde
from Scandinavia ever again.
Right.
Oh, so this is like kind of like
a buffet?
Exactly.
I think to some degree, maybe
not with everybody, but yeah,
dude, there's going to be a
there's.
Some that go no, no.
There's going to be a lot of
activity.
There's going to be a lot of
activity.
You think Jake Paul's girlfriend
participated?
No, just with Jake Paul.
The guy cried when she won.
I mean.
He's there.
He's pretty much locked up, but
he can't.
Stay in the village.
You can't.
You think she's staying in the
village?
She flew over on his private
plane.
Yeah, well, they have to stay in
the village.
You're required to stay in the.
Yeah, you're required.
Are you?
Sure.
No, I I know because this was a
big thing during COVID.
Remember that.
Was six years.
Well, that was probably because
it's COVID.
They don't want you going out of
catching COVID at the Holiday
Inn Express in La Vania.
Well, I don't.
Know, let's look it up.
Let's look it up.
Yeah, I'm going to.
I'm pretty sure it's required
because they don't want them
going out and getting like PDS
or any of that type of.
Stuff because when they had the
cardboard beds a lot of them
opted to stay other places.
Is it a real cardboard bed?
Yeah, the beds were made out of
cardboard.
That's hilarious.
So they were terribly
uncomfortable and would not hold
up for sex.
How are they in peak performance
if they're sleeping on a
cardboard bed?
Well, that was some of their
complaints.
Plus no air conditioning either.
Dear God, Olympians are not
required to stay in the Olympic
Village.
Oh, I'm glad we cleared that up.
She slept in Jake Paul's hotel
he bought while he was at.
Dude, I don't know this is.
Yeah, the guy cried two or three
times.
She didn't bang anybody else.
Juicy so that.
Maybe he was crying because he
found out.
Some guy leaned in and goes hey
I know she wanted gold but I
just banged her.
Oh, it was a skater that did the
black flip.
And I got interviewed.
We ran out of condoms.
It wasn't just once.
I used my three, yeah, but we
had four.
Times.
So we just kept going.
So that suit they wear is skin
tight and it's hard to breathe.
So did you see at the end where
she unzipped hers?
No, I mean, they all unzip them
because they can't breathe.
So But she's quite chesty.
And then the girl she raced,
that beat her or that she beat
zipped hers back.
Up.
That's the.
Important thing is she.
Yeah, she.
Yeah.
Like, Oh well.
Right.
Wow.
So yeah, no, I mean it makes
sense.
Sure.
Look, 10,000 is not enough.
Yeah, that's the that's the
funny part.
They so underestimated what they
were going to need.
Like how do you how do you not
look at the previous data of
300,000?
Right.
And well, at the Olympics, it's
hotter, you know, in the
summertime, everybody's wearing
less clothes and maybe they
won't have sex, so.
Much.
OK, well, maybe so cut it by cut
it by half.
That's still 150,000.
Right, right.
That's still 15 times more than
what they provided.
Right.
Like we're not even remotely
close.
Is this a one-size-fits-all kind
of deal?
I would imagine there's not.
They don't come in sizes, I
don't think, when you're getting
free ones.
Yeah, you think they come in
sizes?
I don't know.
I mean, Jamaica had a bobsled,
bobsled team, so.
They might have brought the
room.
You think that?
You think that.
You think that?
Yeah, Mom, we bring our own.
Do you think that the magnums
are are are actually bigger than
the other?
I don't know.
Yeah, you've seen where the guy
stretches that thing over his
head, so I mean, you know.
I have kids with three different
women.
Mikey, I don't use you.
Don't know what condoms are,
right?
If you were an Olympian, you'd
be like, what is this strength?
What is this this?
Why are we getting these
balloons?
They taste terrible.
Thank God you were an Olympian.
Your your seed would be spread
across the entire globe.
It could you listen?
I don't know.
I have 4:00.
Well I'm about to have 4 kids
that I know of.
The military is a different
world, too.
Who knows?
This guy, he's got Phil babies
that he doesn't know about,
right?
Well, it's not like he ever got
on a boat.
So they all have to be in
Jacksonville.
Yeah.
It's true, Jacksonville.
Wherever what Virginia?
He was in Virginia.
Virginia, Texas.
And they say Virginia's for
lovers, right?
There you go.
Oh, they have to do so all.
Right.
I thought it was Ohio's for
lovers.
Is it Virginia?
It's Virginia.
Ohio's for lovers.
Yeah, I don't know.
Nobody likes Ohio God.
Sorry to all our Ohio listeners.
Value you provide to this show
is.
People know when I'm on the
show.
Yeah, well, Bing bong.
All right, Florida just passed
the Halo law went into an effect
yesterday.
OK, what is a Halo law?
OK, now you have to stay 25 feet
away from any working first
responder.
Ah, OK, that's fine.
It makes.
Sense safety, yeah.
Right.
Because people are OK.
So you get one move back and
then after that it's a second
degree misdemeanor.
Look, we live in a world where
everybody's got to pull their
camera around.
It's like oh I got a *.
That's part of the thing that
happens if you get caught.
You get 60 days in jail, a $500
fine plus court cost and evident
seizure of your phone or camera
is taken.
Yeah.
The look.
Oh man, then a lot more charges
come when they see what photos
you got.
Look, I'm trying to save a
person's life.
The last thing I need is
someone's camera phone in my
face.
Turn.
Around and wave at me.
You're doing that wrong or
whatever.
I mean, you know, dude, the like
this, the the comments that you
hear from people, you're just
like.
Everybody knows better.
I haven't heard of this being in
effect or anything, but.
Just started yesterday.
Yeah, this sounds like this is
going to get some controversy.
Of course it yeah, you know.
Yeah, I was 26 feet, Sir.
I'm sorry.
You know it wasn't 25.
No, not only that, but they'll
argue that you're protecting,
yeah, you know, bad people doing
bad things that you know.
OK, look.
It'll be the right to free
speech, people.
Yeah, well, the reality is that
you're right.
No one, not, not every, no one
is perfect, right?
You're always going to have some
bad apples in something.
However, the majority of the
people probably have the right
intentions, good intentions to
try and protect, serve and save
lives.
And we have as a society need to
protect those people because my
God, man, you know, like you see
some of this stuff and I'm just
like, oh, dude, back off, man.
Give this guy some space.
He's trying to do his job right,
Whether it's a police officer or
paramedic or whatever, like.
Firefighters, those are people
that it's paramedics,
firefighters, police.
It was one more.
I don't remember what the other
one was.
Yeah.
What do you think it is?
Probably EMT or something.
Well, EMT, same as a paramedic,
I don't remember what else.
What else we have?
It was something unusual.
So it oh, it was paramedic,
parole officer.
Parole Officer.
Seems odd but I guess if he's
trying to grab somebody who's
broken parole.
Yeah, they they'll make house
visits.
Yeah, he's checking in on
something, right, you know?
Yeah, it's, you know, those are
hard jobs, right, 'cause like
when your adrenaline starts
pumping, you go into instinct
mode.
So like that's how they train
you.
They train you into an instinct
mode.
So the people around you really
don't matter.
If they get in your way, it's it
can really turn out pretty bad,
you know, I.
I mean.
As we've seen.
That's true.
I mean, but like training an
officer to to handle themselves
in intense situations is what we
need to always focus on.
Like I saw a video where a cop
was like in a room and very calm
guy pulls a knife on him, lunges
at him.
You know, he puts 2IN him and
he's like, are you OK?
You know, I need an EMTI need
like the whole scenario.
He never elevated at all.
He put that down, put that down
started coming towards him.
Bing Bing, right.
That's how that's supposed to be
handled, right?
Right.
Like you'd train officers to
handle themselves in high
intensity situations?
Was that a?
Was that a virtual reality or
was that a?
No, it was real.
So like Sam Browns?
What?
Like, yeah, like rubber bullets.
No, no, he shot the guy.
It was a real call.
Probably the body Cam.
Yeah, it.
Was the body Cam the guy was on?
And like the guy was, you could
see that he was mentally
unstable.
Right.
Oh, OK.
So.
Yeah, it's tough, man.
And somebody that gets in the
way with, let's say, a camera
phone or whatever, that could be
the difference between life or
death for the person that
they're trying to help.
Yeah.
So people's loved ones could
die.
Or the officer, right?
Or the paramedic.
We want everybody to get home
safe, right, You know?
When my wife got that
concussion, the kid threw her to
the ground.
There was video footage the kids
had taken, right?
It was all over.
So isn't that crazy?
Yeah, Fight.
Fight.
Pull out your camera.
Right.
Yeah.
And then the other thing is, so
let's for an example, right?
Like she could get in trouble if
something happened in the video
that she didn't really do, but
somebody misconstrues it.
They have particular training of
the way they're allowed to
handle things too, yeah.
Right, Yeah, cause of video,
cause of.
Like there were guardians there
when that happened, but
guardians aren't allowed to
touch the kids, which I don't
know why I have a guardian at
that point, but that was part of
the thing.
So I mean when the kid grabbed
her and threw her down, the
guardians just.
They can't do that, yeah.
They can't do anything.
OK, Unless the gun's involved,
the Guardians can't do anything.
Wow.
I think that's how it works,
yeah.
It's probably.
I know they can't do anything
but I think the gun thing might.
I'm not sure how that because
how would they get it on the
campus to start with, but still.
Right.
Yeah, it's a legality of
interns.
Sounds like you don't know.
Well, I don't want to say
anything that's not true.
Right, so you better walk back
anything.
You just said I just did.
I know.
Allegedly.
When she first started an
education, there was they were a
little more LAX.
Right.
OK, Speaking of kids, before you
kind of get transitioned into
the next episode or next thing,
I got to tell you something
that's really funny.
It kind of happened to me.
I, as you know, I coach like 75
different things, right?
You have your own league.
No, I mean, I probably could.
But here comes Bomber.
I'm not.
Preston's out of a job.
No, I'm, I'm.
When would I do that?
You know what?
This was this game.
Mikey was going to create the
podcast, get all the information
from and then create his own
league.
And it's certainly Bleed I.
Got news for you man?
I see all the stuff that that
guy goes through as a league
owner.
Oh dude.
And I want nothing to do with
it.
I mean, what would you call your
own league?
What?
What would you call your league?
I don't have your Hustler
podcast.
Yeah, it'd be called.
Yeah, next week, Butch, you and
I are doing sport shoes.
Oh God dude.
Like I'm closely I'm, I'm not.
I'm closely affiliated enough to
where I feel like I want to do
everything I can to represent
the league.
And like there are times when I
get upset.
I'm like, man, I wish I didn't,
you know, because and it's not
even my league, right, But so
like, you know, I can only
imagine what that no, I'm not
interested, not not even
remotely interested, but I will
tell you this funny story all.
Right go.
So we're coaching our basketball
games myself and Coach Scott,
who's that I coach with, and
kid, somebody brings up a kid
and says, hey, he's on your
team.
I said perfect, whatever.
And we go through the game and
you know, you have your, you
have your guys that are really
good and then you kind of work
the other kids in 'cause you
don't want to overexpose them,
right?
So I have my rotations, I rotate
22222 as I'm kind of going
through 'cause now I have 11 on
this team.
And we go through the game, game
goes well, we win the game.
We review afterwards with the
kids and we're going to leave.
And this new kid who was on the
team, his grandmother is walking
in or the parent or whatever and
says where you going?
Your game is next.
Oh, he went on your team?
We have so many kids and so many
teams, right that I didn't even
know if this kid was on our team
or not.
He got extra playing time.
Who brought him over and said
this kids on your?
Team.
I don't know.
Oh, just somebody.
Somebody did.
Yeah, Yeah.
Got to check his birth
certificate.
Dad, Dad, I want to play.
OK, Come on.
I'll get you on a team.
Yeah, well, Patreon then
podcast, OK can.
You.
Send me the video.
Teddy's throwing the javelom.
Please, yes.
Love you.
Bye Teddy's.
Teddy's on track.
We should just have her come in.
She's on the show every week.
Yeah, she's like, she's so
upset.
Like, Oh my God, you're
podcasting like.
Yeah, well, it's 12:30 right on
a Monday.
Well, she's acting like she's
upset.
She's really wanting to be on
the show.
She's really.
Like, Oh my God.
Oh no.
Say my name, say my.
Name turn it around so that they
can see me.
I got this new hair when
everybody is eating it.
Too funny.
Yeah.
So like.
So I'm sorry but with you doing
the podcast with him now and I
still have not said his name so
it's OK, you are part of his
whatever he has.
Well, even more than that
because we coach a girls team
together.
Oh, see, there you go.
Yeah.
But I mean, there's just one
more thing on a broader audience
sees that you're the second
coach, I think.
So.
I mean, you might as well be the
vice president of whatever the
things go.
I'm good.
Palmer, he's just trying to win
the bet.
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm.
I'm not saying you should be.
I'm saying for all practical
purposes you are at this point.
Oh, but like, you know, it's
just like with you, if you, if
you represented something and
I'm closely affiliated to you
and you know, if I'm there or
whatever, I, I'm, I'm a, I'm
linked to you, right?
I want to I want to represent
you in the best appropriate
fashion that I possibly can.
Yeah, that's why Palmer always
says he's the owner of Cigar
Hustler.
Right, right.
But it was really funny with
this kid.
So then he turned back around
and he played another game.
He wasn't tired.
I don't know.
I'm so tired.
I just played with these guys.
Oh, but I got to tell you, I
mean like we crushed the team.
So I'm sure that if that team
didn't crush, he's probably like
I want to go back to the other
team.
So that's.
True.
Are you going to play on your?
Team Hey, I'm here again.
I hope not because man, dude,
it's challenging trying to
rotate.
Would you?
Recognize him or somebody brings
him in, he's got he's got a
different shirt on.
All of a sudden he's just
another little Brunet.
I would recognize him.
I mean I know all of the kids
faces, this is on my team for
the most part, but I don't.
Know.
I don't necessarily know
everybody's names.
In some some scenarios I'm like
what's what is that one's name?
Juice Baskin.
You know, it's harder to
remember somebody's name in
their face.
I read this the other day.
Because your mind, like, his
name is Phil for no apparent
reason, but you recognize the
face, the structure and
everything.
So you associate that with them
because nothing ever changes.
But I mean, your name could be
Paul, you know tomorrow and it
wouldn't make a difference,
right?
Why your brain works at a
different level than the people
that can remember just names?
Oh, interesting.
I always remember people by
something funny of them.
Yeah, that's why.
Mike likes to wear masks.
Pinches people's butts.
That's Michael Jordan.
OK.
All right, all right, moving on.
We're into cigar news.
You have a video.
I do have a video.
Oh good, I sent it to you
already.
Oh thank goodness.
I love what you sent Videos.
That's my second favorite thing
about the show is when you send
videos.
First favorites when your wife
calls every week and we have to
edit that out on the moon.
Again.
Can we play this?
Yeah, there's no audio or
there's no music.
You OK?
Does it have sound?
Mine doesn't.
No, it has no.
Do I need the sound?
So anyway, so it's so so Bert,
he's in Florida, right?
And what he's doing is he says,
you know, like he he found this
conch or he bought this conch
and he takes it and he throws it
in the ocean.
I saw that part, right?
And then he walks up to some
random kids that are looking for
shells and he says, hey, I just
saw a big one over there and the
kids, the kids run over there.
Oh my God.
Yeah, and they go absolutely
crazy.
And he's like, see, it just
created a memory for those kids
for life.
Those his kids are just.
No, no, those are just some
random kids.
It shows the video.
At the end of the video they run
up to some guy who's just laying
down on the beach.
I thought that was hilarious.
It is funny.
What a great guy.
You just made those kids.
Dave got to, you know, got to
shout out my guy who stopped in,
you know, checked out, checked
out the store, right.
So it's.
A lovely new SD du Pont lighter.
Too bad Greg screwed that up.
How did Greg screw?
He didn't like there's no
further engagement.
In that oh, he gave me his phone
number.
Yeah, he got.
It he he wanted Andalusian
bulls.
So Greg goes here, give me a
call and then I'll set you up
for the end of those bulls.
We'll have some soon.
Yeah.
So we set him up with the
Illusion bulls in a podcast
episode.
He's not going to be set up with
a podcast.
He's going to be on the podcast
episode.
Yeah, Mr. Mr. I'm going to set
up people for a podcast episode.
Stop lining up guests for the.
Which you're not permitted to
do, by the way, Sir.
Stop lining up guests for the
show.
So.
I only did one.
Yeah, that's one.
Too bad.
Two.
That's two too many. 2 now.
Yeah.
It doesn't work that way.
But we talked about the second
one.
We talked about the second one.
Yeah, that was a while back.
What?
Was that, yeah, you can't just
say, hey, come on, On this date
and whatever like that doesn't
work.
What if we're not available that
date?
No, that was the date that he
gave me.
And I was saying to you guys is
is like that an OK date?
Oh, so you didn't say, hey, you
need to come on.
Oh, yeah, no problem.
We'll get this date.
I told him that I was going to
check with you guys on a date
and I sent you guys a date and
then I got no response.
Oh, OK, so then we don't have
that locked in yet.
Perfect.
That's a Friday, too.
He might be busy.
All right, cigar news.
No races.
Races are pretty much done too.
The biggest story in cigars for
the weekend?
Yeah, tell me.
Half wheel review the Postana
war bear 2025.
Did you see this already?
Maybe.
I would assume you did but no.
But no, you didn't say anything.
We have.
We have loyal fans that that.
Well, you normally gets posted
and I didn't see a thing.
That provide Intel?
Well, I got it this morning.
Oh, I saw it yesterday.
Oh, there's some construction
issues.
You know, it seemed like you'd
like this cigar.
Yeah, I got an 88.
Yeah, it's reasonable.
It's a reasonable number.
Sure.
It's a great cigar.
I have the final thought if you
want me to read the final
thought.
I don't have the entire review,
but Sonia Warbury 2025 is
definitely a three act cigar.
Starting with a mild yet
flavorful and approachable first
third, adding body intensity in
the second third, and then
adding a bit more in the final
third, though at the expense of
some of the puffs when some
funky jumps into the profile and
knocks it off track for a
handful of puffs.
You know, he said.
Like wontons or something.
Did he say wontons?
He said something goofy.
This is a cigar that gets a lot
of essential right balance, some
complexity, marked tradition,
fantastic construction to cap
off the experience.
If anything, I would have loved
to see the cigar really blossom
with his flavor and take control
of my senses, something it might
end up doing with a bit of time
and something I hope it does.
He said egg roll tasting.
Oh, egg roll.
Who wrote it?
Egg rolls?
Who do you think wrote it?
Who?
Do you think I didn't want to
assume?
Because who do you think wrote
it?
I didn't want you guys to come
back with, oh, you're racist.
Who do you think wrote it?
I want to hear.
I want to hear who you think
wrote it.
You're not allowed to say what I
just said.
Who do you think wrote?
Who do you think wrote it?
Hey, they wrote it.
Charlie.
Oh, you racist.
Racist bastard.
It was paratric.
Oh yeah.
I knew you'd be racist.
Egg rolls immediately, thinks
Charlie.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow, dude.
Wow.
I mean.
Now Patrick had Chinese that
day.
They should have to eat the same
meal every time they review a
cigar.
Clean palate.
Have a clean palate and yeah, no
strict rules.
Strict rules.
Peanut butter Jelly sandwich
chips.
And water.
You can't have anything too
sweet.
You need something a.
Peanut butter sandwich.
You know what I would say here's
here's the best way to review a
cigar.
I would tell you is I would eat
a little bit of like 100% cocoa,
something that was like bitter
and then clear my mouth out with
that.
Because then at that point I
would get every sweet accent
from a cigar.
I would get every hint of
bitterness like or every hint of
like saltiness of all of those
things.
All of those things would be
accented tremendous.
You wouldn't.
Get anything bitter?
You would still get bitter
stuff.
That's what I would do.
Yeah, so like a dark chocolate
bar?
Like but I'm talking about like
100% cocoa or 90%.
Cocoa.
Oh, like baking chocolate?
Baking chocolate.
Well, that's I eat it all the
time.
It's good for you.
Yeah, read it in a book.
I read it in a book.
Beetroot powder is good for you.
Take beetroot powder read.
It in a book too.
Yeah, I read that.
What you thought on coconut
water?
I think coconut water can be
good for you.
He.
Hasn't been in that chapter yet.
It's good to help you hydrate.
I'm addicted to coconut water
now.
Are you?
There's sometimes when I'm so
when I'm thirsty, like I've got
to have coconut.
I can't crack.
No, no, no crack.
No, no, I can't.
Afford that I work here.
Crack is really affordable from
what I understand.
I don't think it would.
Be have you seen the people that
buy crack?
I mean, it has to be affordable.
That's what they supposed to
mean, they say.
Wake.
Up, wake up like Oh my God,
three in a row for you.
The crackhead doesn't wake up
and go not going to have crack
today.
They find a way to get it.
That's right.
Right.
Don't let a crack.
Be like the crackhead.
Don't let a crackhead out work
you.
It's probably a lot of Maine.
Sorry.
He loves he's, he's really
hooked on the.
Process main thing, man.
He's moving to Maine Yeah.
Why do you move to Maine?
You can only sell it you.
Can't so he can sell his sex.
Oh, so he can sell his ass?
Oh, I got you.
You can't sell something, no one
can buy it.
You can still buy it, you just
can't get caught, which makes no
sense at all.
You wouldn't get in trouble if
you got caught selling your
body.
Could you just sell it and then
report everybody?
Oh, then you've ruined your
clients.
I guess, Yeah.
All right.
Placencia suffered a barn fire
in Nicaragua.
Yes, a large and large.
I mean, we're talking large,
big, big curing barn that
belongs to Placencia caught on
fire on Friday.
The fire was at one of the
family farms in Estele,
Nicaragua, allegedly near Finca
El Tuco.
Where's that?
OK, you've been there.
I.
Don't know where that is.
Yes, I've been there.
I'm not.
What am I?
It's.
You've been there more than
once.
Yeah, I don't go to a lot of
farms.
Think you could think Skip could
see this from his farm?
We'll find out later when he
texts us after he hears this
tomorrow.
Skip doesn't have a farm.
No, if he could see this, I'm
sorry.
From his factory.
I know he doesn't have a farm.
OK, Placencia.
No, he can't see it from his
factory.
Placencia owns everything so.
That's true.
Let's say it has extensive
growing operations Hunters
Nicaragua, But the fire looked
huge and they they're not saying
why yet.
OK.
I mean, it's, well, this was I,
this is all speculative.
Sure, sure, sure.
But this is pretty easy to kind
of put together.
I mean, realistically, if it
happens in a barn, you dry out
the tobacco.
So sometimes you build fires
inside of the barns.
Oh, do they?
Yeah.
In the balloons.
Yeah, so something must have
caught the fire, made got too
big and like you.
Oh, we made fire too big.
Yeah.
So do you think that this is as
as big as the AJ fire that had
happened?
Well, AJ was a factory, right?
Correct.
So yeah, I think a JS would have
been worse. 100% right.
A JS factory fire was way worse
than what had just had happened.
That's where they make the
cigars.
This is where they store the
tobacco before they make.
It.
Well, this is like a curing
barn, right?
So curing barn burns down, Yeah.
Like it's not the only one we
have.
Maybe it could have only been
like filler or.
It doesn't matter.
It's just tobacco.
It's not, you know, like it
burns.
No one, no one gets harmed.
There's not a ton of people in
there.
Right.
Nobody died, nobody got hurt.
The.
SLE Fire department snapped
right into places I didn't put
the fire.
Out.
Yeah.
So, you know, if the fire's out,
they rebuild it and now they
have the special tobacco.
Fire cured.
Tobacco fire cured.
I don't know, there might not be
any left.
It looked like the entire barn
was engulfed in the top.
It was cooked.
It looked like it in the video,
the photo that that everybody
puts up, it looks like it's only
half but the video, the entire
roof was engulfed in flames.
Yeah, I can't imagine you
getting that under control.
Yeah, the SLE fire department
put it out at number from it
sounds like.
Is there an SLE fire department?
There is what it sounds like
after it burned down they put it
out.
OK, fair enough.
I saw the fire department one
time come out when I was there.
Did you?
It's kind of like a.
Bunch of guys with buckets and
then they go into the train.
TV shows.
Even there once you're probably
really well experienced expert.
Yeah, no, no, but I'm just
saying like, I saw those guys,
like I never saw them put out
fire.
But I don't know if they're, you
know.
Because I've seen.
They're not like our guys.
I was gonna say, I've seen like
Chinese fire departments.
They don't, you know, they're
not like.
Yeah, it's a third world
country.
What you expect?
Right.
So it's like like the old
fashioned pump trucks.
One guy's on either end and
they're pumping in.
The guy's got the little hose
that's about that big around.
Oh, can't do that, sorry.
Oh God I was showing the hose
size.
Lee, you forgot to put in the
water.
We out of water?
What happened?
Now there's there's no.
There's no.
Yeah.
Oh my God, I can't think of it
anyway where I just didn't just
dig that hole.
David Yes, Lee Fire Department
are all first responders for
their swift action and
professionalism.
There you go.
The company also expresses
appreciation and the immediate
support offered by fellow
manufacturers and members of the
Estele cigar community.
Do you do you think when these
guys build back the the barns
and stuff like do they put in
anything for?
Fire suppression, Yeah, No.
No, it's a barn bro.
Yeah, how will they run into
anything to it?
It's in the middle of a tobacco
field.
No, I mean, the funnier part
though, is the fact that there's
always some type of fire that we
hear from the cigar industry and
it's.
An ongoing problem.
It's every year you hear like.
Yeah, it's like they take turns.
It's like every year you hear
two or three that have.
OK, everyone at the table who
would like to burn down the barn
this year?
Yeah.
Anyone volunteers?
We need the barn burning.
Well, we need to be in the news,
so we'll go first.
Well, Cynthia, you have got barn
burn in a long time, so you're
up.
Right.
Hey, Jay's going.
Not me, man.
I'm out.
I just had one.
I got too many orders.
Factory last year.
I'm done.
I get to skip the next two.
I get to skip the next two.
Because only AJ.
But it's not just Nicaragua.
It's also.
No, all of them do.
Dominican Republic.
Sure, but they have a different
meeting.
They're not close by.
You don't really hear too much
from Honduras.
I'm.
Sure, it's happening, Republic.
It's always Otero Fuente, He
loses every.
Another one.
Sorry you have more than anybody
else.
There he goes, another one.
Is there a lot of factories in
Honduras?
There's some.
Yeah, there's some.
Placencia has one, don't they?
We'll have.
Everything there.
I know that you know Cle is from
there and JRE.
Yeah, Lauras in Honduras.
Laurora is in the Dominican
Republic.
Don't they have one in Honduras?
I don't think they're pretty
sure.
They're making caffee cigars now
I think.
I don't think so.
Maybe.
We don't know.
We're guessing.
You're an expert too.
I'm not an expert, never go
anywhere.
Honduran expert.
Pro Cigar reveals the 2026
auction as online bidding.
So first time in history they
have decided we could sell more
if we put this online.
Yeah.
I mean, look, that's a practical
approach.
Sure.
You know, there, I'm sure there
are people that want a bid that
weren't there.
Maybe attendance is down or
something and they didn't think
they're going to get enough
people.
'S even if attendance was the
same, it's like OK how do?
Well, yeah, look, every year you
try how do we raise more money,
right?
Well, bigger audience makes you
raise more money, so that makes
sense to me, you know.
Very generic where they say the
money goes.
Yeah.
Various local charities and
organizations.
So you think that there's some?
Like the Burn Down the Barn
committee.
Like the burn down the barn.
Committee and.
The the papal said to you for
burning down their barn fund.
The alleged.
The alleged, I don't think that
it was.
I think it was 100% accidental.
More often than not, I don't.
I can't.
See, I don't think somebody went
there and firebombing the place
with Molotov cocktails.
Especially when it comes to a
barn, I think that's very easy.
Right, A bunch of guys in there
making a thing and some guy
dozes off, decides to take a
siesta.
I don't think that that's the
case.
He wakes up.
I think that the fire became too
big and it caught something
right.
Tobacco.
Right, so.
I think they would find a better
way to do it, or a better way to
contain the fire that they have
to make.
I mean, it's not just like a.
Contain.
It's not just like a fire on the
floor.
Oh you mean like only like one
part of the area burn?
Is that what?
You're saying like, you know,
put it in a fire pit that's got
a top on it or something
because, I mean, it's got to be
some other.
Way dude them barns look why
they could go up any day.
This was a nice little barn.
It was all painted white.
This is newer, yeah, maybe.
Oh, was it?
But some of them are, you know.
Well, I see some of them that
look like the ones inside.
God damn they look like 5 for
five.
Cut me off.
I've been patient this whole
time.
I haven't said anything, I just
let it happen, right?
He's excited.
I'll go back to raising my hand.
No, go ahead.
I'll go back to raising my.
Hand No, I'm done talking now.
He's excited.
I'm excited about the fire.
Yeah, no.
OK, great.
Yeah, they should figure out a
better way.
I don't think they will.
I think that it's fine the way
that they do it.
I gotta be fine.
They burn down a barn a couple
times a year.
Maybe they need to do some
employee training.
Yeah.
That'll be one step I guess.
Makes them rebuild.
Phil, how do they train the
employee since you've been
there?
Yeah, since you're an.
Expert So what they do is I
don't.
Know fire back.
To be honest with you, I don't
think they train the employees
on any of that anyways.
Probably not.
We need a fire here.
We need a fire there.
Yeah, don't make it too big.
Don't.
Make them too big.
You know, if we went together
and made one big one in the
middle, we wouldn't have to make
the two.
Yeah.
New guy.
Cream idea.
All right, the Vega feat at
Tablicalera de Garcia humidor
was incorrectly listed.
Is it for people that case they
wanted to bid?
Oh OK, incorrectly listed at
$20,000.
Supposed to be 2000.
Supposed to be 6.
How do you mess that up?
Wait wait, is this because
nobody bought it and they're
redoing it?
Lowered the price maybe?
No, no, no.
I got a little carried away. 20
No No 6 supposed to be 6.
Like how do you how do you mix
up those two numbers?
Could have been just 1/2 wheel
mistake.
They don't really say.
They make a lot of mistakes
lately.
No.
What else?
Did they make mistakes?
Last week they said that the PCA
was in March.
They messed up the TP and PCA
thing.
Yeah, of the day a word had two
I's in it.
That's a big 1/2 I's.
Things happen, I understand.
Yeah, I don't think that.
Yeah, I don't think that you
should really be throwing stones
at all about people.
I am commiserating with my
friends in the media.
People just don't understand it
because.
I still don't know.
Charlie and Patrick.
I've had no updates on Samantha
Guthrie from you lately either.
Because you don't know what's
real and what's not.
It sounds like they're getting
close to apprehending somebody.
I thought there was like a
warrant, like an issue, right?
Yeah.
Well, they but they've let a
couple people go, but it sounds
like they were close to
something.
My wife read yesterday that the
whole family's been in on it.
It was a way to make publicity
for their name.
No way.
She read an article that had
that in yesterday.
That's what I mean.
What's true anymore?
Well, if it is, or somebody's
going to get arrested for that
because that's fossil fiber
report.
There's a whole bunch of stuff.
Well, they just say, oh look, we
found Grandma.
She was downstairs.
Looks like they've analyzed the
glove.
There was a glove found.
Yep.
What?
Oh, was it like a black leather
glove?
If the glove doesn't fit, you
must, you know, acquit.
They found finally found OJ's
glove.
It's a black leather glove.
Looks like it's about 20 years
old.
Right.
Where'd you find the back of
this Bronco?
Come.
On that was funny.
It drove in from Maine.
Oh.
But I'm pumped.
It's called callback.
You bring something back.
Right.
We've called that one back like
5 times.
That's right.
Now it's time for the industry's
favorite game.
What's the?
Score.
Excellent gentleman.
All right.
First, First cigar of the day,
April 1st, 2016.
Patrick Lagreed, Honduras Leaf
by Oscar the Woody.
OK, I'll go 1st 84. 86.
You heard it right where he
started.
His brain.
Cigar Reviewed The Woody by
Oscar is from Honduras.
It is from the Oscar Valadares
Tobacco and Company factory
wrappers under and binders under
and fillers under and it is 21
inches by 80.
The vitola is called the Woody.
Yep.
They only smoked 1.
We used to carry these.
I was hoping they smoke three.
I was like, who the hell would
smoke all three of these?
Back-to-back.
Back-to-back.
You know what, it's funny, out
of all the cigars that they did
of Oscar Valdar's on half wheel,
this is the one he picked.
This is the one that excites
you, no?
It's just like it's just.
Novelty cigar.
Yeah, OK.
It's 80 inches long for
goodness.
Great, you said 2121.
Inch 21 inches.
Sorry, it's 80.
Ringage.
Sorry, it's almost 2 feet long.
To do red light.
He was keeping up on red light.
Haven't.
You I didn't red light this
weekend.
No, not completely.
I don't get, I think about.
Completely.
The red light has been put
outside as a Christmas light.
Yeah.
We haven't taken it off the roof
yet, sorry.
I'm sticking 84. 86.
Clue #1 Despite its massive
proportions, the cigar is
exceptionally well constructed.
The wrapper seams are clean and
nearly invisible, the color
matching is excellent, and the
cap is applied with a precision
especially impressive, giving
the scale for a cigar produced
by Oscar Valadari's Tobacco and
Company.
This level of craftsmanship on
such a large format is notable.
84.
Yeah, it can't change because of
the cap.
So 86.
Clue #2 While it starts off
muted, the cigar gradually
refined itself by the 1st 3rd.
It delivers a more cohesive and
enjoyable profile featuring
peanut, toast, pepper, earth and
almonds.
The retro hell becomes
especially clean and vibrant,
and the draw settles into an
ideal resistance.
The complexity and balance in
the last stretch redeem much of
the earlier performance. 84.
Yeah, I mean, it sounded normal
80.
Clue #3 the cigar struggles with
multiple technical problems,
tight draw early on,
inconsistent smoke production,
tunneling, shoveling burn lines
and repeated need for touch ups.
Wow, for such a long smoking
experience, around six hours
these issues.
Dude.
I'm sorry, I was reading it.
Did you want to say something?
I apologize.
I.
Don't.
I don't mind at all.
Go ahead.
What did you want?
To say I'm 1-2, you're fine all.
Right.
These issues detract
meaningfully from overall
enjoyment and demand more effort
than most smokers would prefer.
79.
Yeah, this thing is probably
going to do worse than that.
August 75.
Final thought, I've never been
one for novelty cigars.
While I do have a my father
baseball bat, we've already done
that.
Which we don't recommend
smoking.
I don't smoke a bat at all it's
not on display and I'm not even
sure I could tell you where it
is as much as such, it is a bit
hard for me to tell you to run
out and grab one the Woody by
Oscar other than to say you've
done it.
But to say that the cigars
without its bright spots would
be unfair.
The first he's.
Looking it up.
Oh my.
Wife is texting.
Me.
I had to tell you that he was
looking it up.
I had to interject. 2:00 to
5:00.
The 1st 14 inches or so are
fairly uneventful, and given the
significant amount of airflow
you have to generate to get
smoke to your mouth, plus the
burn issue in the second third,
it may seem like too much of A
mountain to climb to make the
final third worth it, but that
is exactly where the cigar
shines.
Fans of the Leaf by Oscar Corojo
Blend will immediately recognize
the flavors, rich in earth and
pepper with a decent amount of
nicotine for a full sensory
effect.
The big ring gauge does require
a bit more conscientious
smoking, as a sizable core of
heat can get very hot very quick
and as much adversely affect the
flavor.
But with a bit of
self-discipline and the
willingness to overlook, the 80
plus ring gauge can offer a
pretty decent smoking
experience.
I'm done. 70, 73.
Did it?
Did it, Did it 4547?
Did it 45?
No, no, that's not my final
answer.
I didn't say final answer 72.
Went the wrong way. 76.
I knew it.
I knew I could press.
Them lower.
Hold on a SEC.
If I stuck at 75 I would have
won.
What did this thing not have
wrong with it combustion wise?
The.
Last the last third was amazing.
The last two hours of the cigar
were great. 4 hours before
sheet, it's the last two.
How much was this cigar?
I don't know, it was like 60
bucks I think. 60 bucks.
Is right.
It's one of those things you
just smoke it to say you smoked.
It.
Why don't you just clip off the
2/3 then and smoke the last
part?
I paid for the whole thing.
Do you think with that cigar,
Charlie assigned it to someone
or they like, oh wait, I want to
smoke the six hour cigar?
I I think that that was AI don't
want to smoke this.
Yeah, I don't want.
Somebody to do it?
Right.
And Charlie goes, well, I'm the
boss.
I don't smoke in it.
Six hours.
You know what we'll do?
We'll make him smoke it, that's
what.
We'll do Patrick Smoke.
It should have made Brian smoke
it.
I haven't heard anything like
you never do, Brian.
'Cause he's never around.
He's never around.
He doesn't do many.
He's there.
He's their PCA guy.
Oh, that's the only time.
So he's like overflow.
Right, all right.
April 11th, 2024.
Charlie Minato Cigars JC Newman
Limited Edition.
The American All Star.
JC Newman.
Phil JC Newman.
I think I've smoked this.
I'll go, I'll go 82. 88.
The American All Star country of
origin USA Factory The Newman
Factory in Tampa Rapper USA
Florida Binder USA Connecticut
Broadleaf filler USA
Connecticut, Pennsylvania It's a
6 1/2 by 50 Toro extra oh $100
Oh you.
Smoke this no.
It's 30 for $3000.
They smoke 3300.
That's.
That's $300, three, $100
American.
Because they always buy their
cigars.
I must take a 82.
OK, 86.
Clue #1 All three cigars show
distinct signs of aging,
particularly in the aroma and
underlying sweetness.
At their best, they deliver a
layered profile featuring Graham
crackers, cocoa, pretzel,
oatmeal, peanuts, cedar and
botanical notes with creaminess
helping to round out things.
The Retro Hell in particular
adds sweetness, vanilla and
complexity, reinforcing that
these cigars produced by JC
Newman Company have well
developed tobacco with.
Real depth, Phil.
So he's drinking gin and eating
peanuts. 84 It started sounding
like you like it. 87 Clue number
One Removing the band noticeably
improves airflow on at least one
cigar, leading to better
combustion and a slight uptick
in flavour clarity.
While not a complex, complete
fix, this suggests the blend
itself performs more enjoyable
when not physically restricted,
revealing more cedar rye bread
creaminess and balanced pepper
notes in the final third.
So the band was constricting the
cigar.
Apparently so is.
That unusual?
Is that a rubber band?
Maybe it's too tight.
Maybe it was a maybe it's an
under filled cigar. 83. 85.
The dominant issue across all
three cigars is the overly tight
draw.
It restricts smoke production,
mutes flavors, increases
bitterness, harshness and
requires repeated touch ups.
Even when flavors show promised,
the constricted flow undermines
the experience, preventing the
profile from reaching its full
potential.
That was the third clue.
Brain going. 83. 80 Final
thought As I've written way too
often on this site, poor
construction will directly
impact the flavor profile.
Often times I then write
something along the lines of So
because of the poor
construction, I don't really
know how these cigars were
supposed to taste.
In this case, I smoked enough of
the American cigars to have a
decent idea.
This was bad.
Too sharp, too dry, too bitter
version of the Americans normal
profile for my palette.
The Leroy Neiman's 2023
Collector's Edition is the best
cigar to come out of the
factory, and I don't think the
All Star with a better draw
would change that take. 75. 76.
81.
Got it.
It was still in the 80s.
Barely.
Not it.
It's still 90s, period.
Yeah, usually draw issues 8182,
but since you lowered that
window, brought it all the way
down to 75, you can go higher.
Yeah, I win both rounds.
You need to Rev more.
Yeah.
More revving.
More revving.
No, I've been tired lately.
You.
Know something like that?
Remember.
You're tired.
Is that what you said?
That's your excuse for losing.
Of entire Austrian.
Yeah, OK, I'm exhausted.
Alright, that's it.
Where are you going to?
Be on the 25th, I will be at
Northport Cigars in Northport,
Florida from 1:00 to 5:00.
Perfect.

Show Notes
On Todays show Can you Hear Me now from Space?
Colorado is quickly becoming the love me now state. There is one Olympic Sport they wish we were not talking about, Floridas New Halo law goes into effect and then in cigars the world really wants to know. Then Do I hear $12,000 for cigars? And Plascencia now has a cigar from “In The Fire”. And finally a what’s the score novelty cigar addition!
