ACHP Episode 521 Off To The Races
Episode Summary
Episode 521 of A Cigar Hustler's Podcast finds Mike Palmer, Phil McGuffey and Mikey Stepankiewicz in peak banter mode before getting to the cigar news. The show opens with listener comments, swag and Patreon plugs, and a discussion sparked by a viewer question about Marlon Wayans reportedly asking retailers for both a product buy-in and a $4,500 appearance fee — the crew break down why that math doesn't work for a small brick-and-mortar shop, and contrast it with how other celebrity and industry figures (including a product-based buy-in model attributed to Rocky Patel) handle events.
The non-cigar segment covers the death of Bandit, the 51st sloth to die in an ongoing animal-welfare scandal now facing a possible criminal investigation; a Japanese zoo closed after an employee confessed to burning his wife's body in the park's animal incinerator; a Wall Street Journal-reported cancer study finding cancer rates 68% higher for never-married men and 83% higher for never-married women (with the hosts noting the confounders — economic stability, support systems, less smoking and drinking, more preventative care); May 2026 movie releases including The Devil Wears Prada 2, Mortal Kombat 2, The Mandalorian and Grogu and In the Gray; and a bizarre global "sperm race" competition offering a $100,000 prize to raise awareness of declining male fertility.
Cigar news leads with La Flor Dominicana creating the Oro Maduro No. 5, a 6x48 shop exclusive (100 boxes of 10, $18 MSRP) for Blue Smoke of Dallas's 16th anniversary, tied to a Home of Ligero event with Litto Gomez Sr., Ines Gomez and Litto Gomez Jr. in attendance — with plenty of ribbing aimed at retailer Jay Davis. They also cover La Aurora USA's roughly 3% average price increase effective May 1, 2026, and Habanos' La Excepción Selectos Reales Regional Edition for Italian distributor Diadema SpA marking 25 years, which the hosts argue is largely a repackaging of an off-catalog vitola.
The episode closes with "What's The Score?" on Charlie Minato's 2011 halfwheel review of the San Cristobal Lancero — a 7.5x38 all-Nicaraguan Corojo made at My Father Cigars, priced at $11 at the time — which scored an 80. Along the way the hosts talk PCA show pickups, brand relationships (Espinosa, Cavalier Genève, Luciano Cigars), Litto "Tony" Gomez rolling at the show, and their own Mantra house blends getting their bands swapped in final production.

I don't have a winner. I don't have the list. Told you. Did I tell you?
I told you. This is like the Epstein files. It disappears for a little bit. Right.
The list is gone. We don't have to do the list. Don't worry. Where's the list?
Who's got it? Who's got the list? You'll hear Monday who wins. Triple G's got it.
Monday? Yeah. Oh. I know.
I know you struggle with how we record, and we would talk about it every day. Every day. And you don't understand that. I don't understand.
You still fail-- I understand how we're in the future. You still fail to grasp the concept. How are we in the future? This is ridiculous.
It's crazy. It's crazy. However, I do have some comments. Miguel Rocha, Palmer needs a hug.
Palmer still needs a hug a day later. Why do I need a hug? Because you're angry. Oh, yeah, I'm angry again today.
" In referencing the Costco hot dog? Oh, yeah, but all of it's not, the lips aren't just from cows, they're from pigs. What? Pigs.
Yeah, but you said that the hot dog's all beef. No, I said it's not all beef, it's lips and hoofs and ears and stuff. You said that the Costco hot dog was all beef. Oh, yes it is, the Costco one is.
Maybe they're chicken lips. There's no lips on a chicken. They have a beak. Did you red light?
No, but I don't want to bring it here. Why not? I'm afraid Greg will get mad and throw it away. He's not going to throw it away.
How do you know chickens have no lips? Are you a chicken? I've had chickens. They have beaks.
You talked to them? Yes. As a matter of fact, I did talk to them. David Hoffman also says, how many more episodes until you get a chart explaining each generation?
Never going to happen. We can't afford a chart. It all goes to Preston's show. We could have a nice camera here with a thing.
We could draw. But it's only for his show. We're going to use that one day, I'm going to find a reason to bring out the whiteboard. " Big-sized.
Yes. Oh, God. " Yeah, oh, he heard the comment, yes. Nice, bro.
All the dry feet. Ruckus Unchained says, Palmer's new nickname, Gran Torino. Oh. Yeah, you're definitely that guy.
Like, uh, like old, old Gran Torino, or? He means like the movie Gran Torino. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you're not talking about, yeah, got it.
I'm talking about Starsky and Hutch driving the car around. Yeah. RealSmokePod says, LOL, I'll have to show Robert a clip of this on the show tonight, referencing 13 Knives. Yeah, he asked, I said it was okay, as long as we didn't say anything bad.
I mean, what? Wasn't that the guy that Luciano's counting now? No. Oh, with the knife you made.
Well, that's another knife thing. It was another story in the same show. Yeah, show them all you want. You were going so good in the beginning, and now you just...
I'm fine, everybody. Move on with this show. You've completely fallen off. I have things to talk about.
Let's go. Come on. It's a good show today. It's a good show every day.
But I have no issue with anybody taking clips from our episode. No, I don't either. Of any of the episodes. I didn't, I thought it was the knife guy that Luciano is now working with.
Right, but even still, like if someone wants to take our clip and give it to him, share it with them, I don't care. We're going to show it on his show. Yeah, but you're not listening to me. I am listening to him.
No, you're not. I didn't know you understood. He's not going to just give it to him. This is the day that Palmer becomes unalived.
Today is the day. That was yesterday. Today is the day. Not today.
Look, if even though he's alive-- You always say the God of Death? Not today. I'll take the extra knife if we get one. You're not getting one.
I'm getting one. You can buy them from him. How are you getting one? How are you getting one?
It's my business. Palmer Hook. By the way, my lovely shirt today is from the people at Black River Tobacco in North Carolina. Thank you.
Nice shirt. Thank you very much. You see the back, but I can't get up and turn around. 2XL.
If you'd like to see me wear your shirt on the show, send them to care of the show at 829 Deltona Boulevard, Deltona, Florida, 32725. Double XL. Don't, he's never on camera, it is, it's not important. " That was funny.
That is true. I didn't, you know, we kind of let that blow past. Right. Uh, yeah.
High expectations, I guess. I don't know, is that really that high for a Damon Wayans? I mean, it's ridiculous to ask-- First of all, it's Marlin Wayans. Oh, whatever, it's one of the Wayans.
Wow. Well, if it was the other one, it would be worth it. Marlin is-- I mean, well, what's Marlin trying to do? Are you trying to build a cigar brand, or are you just trying to make money on the appearance fees?
Trying to make money on the appearance fees. Because, like, if I bought $4,500 worth of product, and I was gonna sell all of it, and then I had to pay $4,500 to get you there, and I sold everything, I still didn't make any money. No, you still didn't make any money, right? - So how does that make sense?
- It doesn't make sense. - No. - It's ridiculous for the venue that he's doing. It's not a, you know, he's not gonna sit up there and do 15 minutes of stage.
- Yeah, so like, how does, how has nobody had that conversation? Like, you know, like-- - With him? Yeah, how is cigar people not telling him? - Like, hey, we want you to, you know, a walk, you know, I gotta pay a fee, I gotta show up.
Like, okay, well-- - Yeah, they want me to show up, I got expenses. - Yeah, so how, so we're gonna step on the small business and make sure that they don't make anything then? Right. That's his plan.
I don't know if that's his plan. I just don't think he understands. Oh. He's just used to being paid to show up somewhere.
Right. Yeah, he's an old school celebrity. Guy Pierre just shows up. "Hey, let's do an event.
" Oh, there's no buy-in for him? I don't think so. No? I think, "Hey, I'm in the area.
" Oh, that's nice. I was curious. I think that's two different industries of their original type of work, though. I mean, I heard there's a buy for Rocky Patel.
Bigger than $4,500? Yeah, but it's not, but it's in product. Right, I understand. You're gonna buy X amount of product.
Right. Yeah, he's saying Marlon's not even giving product. Right, that's just to get him. Yeah.
Well, good, because Jay said he didn't like his cigars, so, you know, let me just pay you to show up, how many cigars you want? None, I don't like them, they're no good. We're gonna sell something else today. I'm gonna sell something else, I got a lot of Fuente I got stacked up over here.
We'll get rid of some of that. Did you bring a waiter? Did you bring a waiter? Does that include a waiter?
Oh, my God. Okay. Wayans and his waiter. Hello, I'm Mr.
Wayans' waiter. He played a waiter one time. All right. If you want to hear your comment on the show, comment below.
We may say it out loud. And I will have a winner for you on Monday. What? What?
I didn't say anything. You said something. I said nothing. I'm going to unalive you.
Can't. It's on camera. You'll go to jail. I have footage.
You're too pretty. You won't do well in jail. You have footage? Of me smarting off?
That's not a thing to kill people. I will remove the footage. You know what? I'll just put the camera on me when I have a nice knife, a shirt, and a dope hat.
And you can unalive them all you want. Thanks, Phil. No problem. Oh.
Oh. Apparently, Phil's not in any more shows while I'm alive. Him or his voice. Wow.
All right. We're going to start to show off on a somber note. Oh, of course. Bandit passed yesterday.
Who? Bandit. Is that your dog? The 51st sloth has passed.
Noooo! Oh, that's like a Canadian sloth. The death toll is up to 51. We were talking about that this guy was hour by hour and we were keeping an eye on him?
Right. m. Oh, man. Very, very sad.
Wow. Moment of silence for Bandit. Wow. We killed 51 sloths.
51 sloths, that sloth world. So now they're talking to an investigation, perhaps criminal charges, the man is on the lam, he is running. 51 was the number, huh? He's hiding in a non-extradition sloth country.
Where he can't be emancipated? Can't be emancipated, right, exactly. What is that? Terrible.
What is that? Mexico? No, they have sloths down there. Some country that does not have sloths.
Because now they're all out together. I love how Palmer, I don't think he's playing along, I think he's just being Palmer. Yeah, he didn't understand what I really said. I didn't hear you.
I don't listen to you. You're not on the show anymore. Listen, how about the fact, like, okay, the- It's a serious note, the Border Animal died. I think that- Very sad pictures in the front of my life.
I think it's comical to me because I think that this guy was a shady businessman and it went sideways completely and now he's running because he killed 51 sloths. Well, he was on real radio at night when he was putting this whole thing together. Yeah. He sounded legit.
I mean, they were talking to him about Sloss. He seemed to know a lot about Sloss. I think he tried to acquire them at like a discount or through some shady means. Yeah.
And then that's what happened. And then, you know, some of them showed up early. He's got no power, no water, no heat at the place, and it got cold. You know, it doesn't normally get below 48.
So bring them to your house. I don't know. Right. I know there's something else you can do.
I'd leave them there to freeze. Yeah. com, or whatever he ordered them from. com.
What kind of shady deal? Was there a guy named Tony in the corner? Of course. There was some guy from Peru named Eduardo or something.
Eduardo? Right. Come check in the site. com.
How many would you like? You're not even on the internet. I would like 20, please. Alright, do you want 20 full ones or 20 skinny ones?
We have some emancipated. Would you like those? Emancipated. No, I'm sorry.
Oh, they were sorry. You're on the air with the Cigar Hustler podcast. What's the phrase it pays? It pops when you're there.
He complains it. Would you like to get a loan for $50,000? I need to talk to you about your sloths. I would like to talk to you about your watch being by the video S-board removed.
Alright, a zoo employee told police. He's like so hellbent on keeping his watch on. Which zoo? Well, because I have things if people text me.
You know, don't push the stories, all right? I do it at my own pace. He's always asking questions as I read the headline. You never answer the call on your watch.
No, if people text, though, sometimes I have to pick up my phone if it's one of my workers. All right, are we back to the show, or are we going to talk more about his phone calls? We're a new production guy. You guys answer your phone on the air.
Yeah, but you're the production guy. Only if my wife calls more than once. Not like his. He has to answer it every single time.
He gets in trouble. You're the production guy. I'm the same guy. Yeah, and the only time you ever hear my phone is if it rings.
We're the talent. If it rings. We're the talent. The only other time you hear my phone is if it rings.
Yeah, that makes sense. Well, that makes sense completely. I get like 50 text messages while we do this thing. You guys never know those ones.
If I was by the video board, I wouldn't have my phone by it. And I don't have a watch anymore because I don't like those. So, I used to do this podcast. And now we don't do it anymore.
We just talk about Phil's phone calls. So, yeah, we'll just sit back and wait till they're finished. No, that's great. Please, go ahead.
Go ahead. Would you put that shirt on and get some courage? You'll be quiet over here. Will you blackbearded over there?
You're not even on the show anymore. That's a lot of editing I got to do. This one's going up late, boss, just so you know. Zoo employees told police he burnt his wife's body in the park incinerator.
Oh. No way. Yes. In Japan?
India. Japan. Yes. We'll get to this in a minute.
But what I'm mainly concerned about is why does a zoo have an animal incinerator? It's an animal incinerator. How many animals die at this zoo? What do you do when the animals die?
It's a zoo. What animals die at the zoo? They're supposed to be there to keep them healthy. They need that many?
They die eventually. You bury them or you hire somebody to incinerate. You bury them? Sure, in a nice little animal graveyard.
Like a pet cemetery? Yeah, a pet cemetery. Where they can come back to life? Well, only if you say the chant.
And then haunt the people? Right. And try and eat them? Anyway, one of the most popular zoos in Japan remains closed while police search for the remains of the missing woman.
They're in the incinerator. There's not a lot of searching involved. Yeah, yeah, yeah. After her husband claimed he threw her body into the incinerator at the park, used to dispose of dead animals, now her bones are mixed up with the penguins and whatever else they killed.
An employee at the Ashurama Zoo in Ashawaka confessed to burning his wife's body after local police began questioning him about her disappearance in recent days, so she went missing, everybody was looking for her, and then he couldn't handle the pressure, he went, I did it, I burned her up in the incinerator. So this is why they need an incinerator. To burn up the employees' wives? Every zoo has an incinerator.
She's been missing since late March, so it's only been 30 days. He didn't stand up to the pressure too well. Every zoo has an incinerator? Yeah.
Yeah, that makes sense. It's for disease control, sanitation and safety, legal-- Oh, you just look it up? Yeah. Oh, it's a requirement.
Legal environmental compliance, practical logistics, and respectful handling. And removing wives. Apparently. Yeah, respectful handling.
Respectful handling. Hirosuku Imazi, Oshawasha's mayor, reportedly described the situation in Tuesday's press conference as an unprecedented crisis. " That morphed into a weird voice. No, it's Japanese, because Chinese sounds different.
Yeah, Chinese completely different. Yeah, it was like Japanese that went kind of Jonathan Drew, kind of Coop, like all together. Maybe they're Japanese. Maybe they're Japanese.
I don't know. Yeah. I don't know their nationality. Okay.
They could be. Jonathan Drew looks like... Jonathan, yeah, San. You guys like to over...
If you pronounce it... Sonz! Mr. Sonz.
Mr. Sonz. Are we gonna all over talk each other today? Is that what's going on now?
Yes. Miyagi Sonz. Sorry. Alright, what is your question?
Me? Yes. Did you have a question? I did.
What was your question? How is it a crisis? It was just the one person that died. Because the zoo is closed.
So it's a murder. So the crisis is that the zoo is closed? He's the mayor of the town. It's the most popular tourist attraction in the town.
Now nobody come because it closed. Why is it closed? They have to find all the body parts. They're in the incinerator.
Yeah, but they got to sift through a lot of ash. Put it in bags and get it out of there. Well, some of it is the penguin or the llama that died the same day. Again.
You gotta bring in a whole team, NCIS. Why would this guy admit it? He couldn't handle up to the pressure, he cracked. The gilts?
" But he did it with a Japanese accent. Got it. It sounded like he had some sake in the system. He might have had some sake in the system.
Okay. Can you get DNA out of ashes? I don't know, why don't you Google that too there, Mr. NCIS.
Probably not. Sure, because there's bone fragments and teeth and stuff. Everything doesn't burn up. They don't have NCIS in Japan.
Yeah, they do, but it's called something else. No, they have inspectors. Oh, Inspector Gadget? How do you know?
I watch Rush Hour. I watch Rush Hour. That's China. You don't know that.
Yes, I do. Jackie Chan's from China. Oh, now you're the racist. No, actually, on the contrary, he's actually letting you know that you are the racist.
Technically, he's from Hong Kong, but it's all one country now. Oh, yeah? They've unified? Well, they bought it back from the...
I thought it was this ongoing issue. " You know, but he is Chinese. Got it. Okay.
Good news is, the zoo will be open again on May 1st, so tomorrow it opens. What a relief. Yeah, so the crisis is over. No more crisis.
That was quick. Yeah, well, apparently they found all the teeth and the bones. You can never get DNA from ashes because of the very high temperatures. How about bones and teeth?
You can from bones and teeth? No. It's all unusable because of the high temperature. It's burned.
What if the Japanese know that? Somebody should tell them. Now maybe if there was like a... Hello?
Hello? Hello? There you go, I don't know, the sound went up. Did we have the mysterious sound go out again problem?
We had that the other day. Probably because you damn watched by that. Yeah, probably you're watching your phone. I think it's just the cord here, I think it's just the headphones.
I was watching the green, it was still going. Green means gold. What was I saying? Oh, no, maybe there's like a gold tooth.
Well then it would be gold. But you still couldn't prove that it was hers. Unless she had one gold tooth. But that doesn't mean that it was hers.
Good point. That is true. Penguins have gold teeth. You know what Greg told me when he had that tooth replaced, he almost got a gold one?
I used to have a gold tooth. Yeah, but not your front tooth? Nah, it was my back mauler. Then we'd call them gold tooth.
Triple G gold. Triple G gold. Oh. Yeet yeet.
Alright, if there wasn't already enough pressure from your parents, cancer researchers are now offering a good reason to get married. Studies have shown that men who are married, and women that are married, get cancer less often than single people. Really? S.
cancer causes published in the journal Cancer Research Communications, which is obviously the best cancer research ever, found cancer rates were 68% higher for men who had never married compared to those who had put a ring on it. For women who never tied the knot, the rates were 83% higher. Whoa. So by marrying our wives, we have saved them from cancer.
How relieved my wife can find out she'll never get cancer again. Now that I've married her. That was really weird how you said that first of all. There's an 83% chance that she'll never get cancer again.
Well, she's had it once, so. I know, but it was just kind of like you said, like your, I don't know, your face looked weird. I mean, I'm gonna tell her that when I get home. I mean, I might have been wrong about the kidney stones, but you're not getting cancer.
There's an 83% chance you will now not get cancer. I wonder how that statistic develops because it can't be just about being in the relationship. Something else has to change. Oh, let's read on.
It's not that marriage prevents cancer, no matter what pushiest relatives say, but as one of the studies co-authors explained to the Wall Street Journal, married people often have more economic stability, strong support systems, plus the researcher noted many married people tend to smoke and drink less and are less exposed to ST. explained to the wall street journal married people often have more economic stability strong support systems plus the research had noted many married people tend to smoke and drink less and are less exposed to st eyes now they call that these st eyes now all of which can risk are risk factors and they can be a prevent and they get more preventative care so it's the things you do because you're married not the actual fact that you're married right yes that makes sense i'm not I'm telling my way at that part. Yeah, because you don't smoke less. I don't smoke cigarettes.
Yeah, I don't smoke cigarettes. It didn't say cigarettes. That's what they're talking about. Cancer does not cause, it's not a marker for cancer.
There's been studies. Do we have to go over this again? I'm just saying what you read. It's completely off the show.
I don't care. He has no idea what's going on. I don't care what you say anymore. Can't protect him any longer.
Yeah. Greg, we need you to push the buttons. You know he's listening. I need a new button person.
He's probably in the bathroom right there. Right behind you. Alright, summer's coming, gentlemen. You know what that means?
It's gonna get hot. Summer movies! Summer lovin'. No, don't sing the song, we get in trouble.
Have me a blast. Before you read any of it, is there any movies, Mikey, that you're excited about? How does he know? I haven't read what they are yet.
Maybe he's heard of them. Spider-Man's coming out. That'd be good. That's in the summer.
Yes, doing May. Wow, that's not the summer. That's not the summer. Yes, it is.
Maybe for you 60-plus-ers. You know, I'm getting real tired of the age jokes over there, chubby. Hey, you look great. You don't let him body shame you.
I'm not mad about grandpa over there. You have a beautiful body. Spring is defined as March, April, and May. Summer is June.
Spring movies are almost here, Michael. You know what "May" means? I got time to change my body. Spring movies.
He's in rare form today. Yeah. Okay, go ahead. Out in May 26, with cast in What It's About, major releases, The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Oh, can't wait. Oh, I thought a sequel were already... Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. I love Anne Hathaway.
I'm gonna go watch this. That's why you wanted to talk about this? I like Anne Hathaway. No, no, that's not why.
Yeah, it is. I needed stuff to fill. There wasn't a lot going on there. There wasn't a...
I already... I thought the sequel of this movie came out years ago. No, they never did a sequel. The sequel's probably gonna be terrible, but I really like Anne Hathaway.
Top Gun 2 was great. It was Star Wars. It was not Star Wars. It was Star Wars.
Right? Right. Mortal Kombat 2. He's a hateful person today.
He is a hateful person today. Mortal Kombat 2 coming out May 8th. Carl Urban, Louis Tan, Jessica McNee, and Huruku Sanda. Did your wife use one too many fingers in the butt this morning?
Is that what happened? No. We don't do anything in the morning. I'm still asleep when she leaves.
No, it's just enough fingers, just enough fingers, just enough fingers, just the standard fingers. Earthrealms fighters enter the actual Mortal Kombat tournament to save humanity. Wasn't it the same reason as the first one? Yeah.
So now they're doing it again. They've yet to, I mean, I thought that the one that they came out with that on HBO or whatever during COVID, I thought it was all right. Yeah, that one was okay, I thought so too. You know?
The Mandalorian and Grogu. That's gonna be a bust. Yeah, I'm a little tired of those two. They're trying to revise this.
They beat this into the ground. Right. Now they're making a whole movie. It doesn't even look like it should be a movie, though.
Like, do you remember when Doctor Strange came out? Like, Doctor Strange 2 came out? And it was in movie theaters? Right.
And it looks like it should have just been released on stream. Right. I think that's what's happening here at Mandalorian. I think so, too.
I think they're trying to get away from the stream, then. Yeah, good luck with that. Well, it'll probably be out for like a month, and then Disney will have it on their channel. Mm-hmm.
We'll try to get a little more money out of this. In the gray, this looks good, with Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill, two operatives are sent into a high-stakes mission where they loyalty and survival collide. Okay. I like Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal, they should be good together.
And Anne Hathaway. One spoon of chocolate, it looks stupid, we're not even talking about that. Young man's life spirals after a violent incident and exposes deeper truth about the world. Oh, that sounds like a real Willy Wonka.
All right, "Tuner", talking about a musician, "Obsession", "Dangerous Relationship" turns into a psychological spiral of control. So you're not even covering the summer blockbusters. You're just rattling off movies. These are the ones that are coming out just in May.
When we get to June, we will cover the ones in June. All right, well, get to June already. Who gives a shit about May? Well, it's not June.
May 1st is tomorrow. We won't do that till the end of May. Oh. So you don't have that?
No. So you don't have summer blockbusters at all? No, because it's not that time yet. It's not that time yet.
These are the ones coming out in May. So when you said summer blockbuster movies-- I didn't say blockbuster, I said summer movies. You said summer movies, you were lying. Well, I changed it to spring.
He was not telling the whole truth. Okay. Well, this one's got Putin in it, but I'm not telling you about it. All right, cool.
I don't care. Fine. I don't care either. Perfect.
Here's one about weightlifting. Not talking about that either. Good. Here's the one about an angry man named Mike who doesn't like movies.
Sounds great. What is it? What's the name of that one? Angry man named Mike who doesn't like movies?
A Cigar Hustler's Revenge? A Cigar Hustler's Revenge, right. Alright, next story then, fine. Men of the world are invited to pit their sperm against each other in a racy race where the owners of the swiftest swimmers take home $100,000.
Who would be the best? We should have stuck on the movies. So there's a sperm race? There's a sperm race coming out.
- They have taken sperm for 128 countries. - Is it on Netflix? - I think it will be on Netflix. - Is it gonna be live?
- But what you do, you have to answer a questionnaire, you have to provide a sample, and you have to sign a release form, and then they check your sperm for all these different things, make sure you have no diseases or anything, and they have made this microscopic track, and you race against time, how fast your sperm get from the start to the finish. - Well, how do you get the sperm in the track? Well, when you send in your sample, they take it out with a pipette and they shoot it into the stuff. Wow.
This is all to bring IVF awareness. Not IVF, but male fertility. Nobody talks about male fertility. Nobody wants to.
So they're trying to bring more attention to male fertility and fertility problems. What are we talking about? Sperm. There's babies everywhere.
What do we got? this is wild why are we like why you know why this is somebody that got caught for like streaking or something one time and he's like you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna make a movie because nobody cares if you do it on that dude somebody pitched this think about this somebody pitched somebody said wait a second and i i can put and then once they determined that they could build this thing they said hey here's what we're gonna do well they did a smaller version of this already and the winner got ten thousand dollars yeah and now they have opened it up to the entire world Right. And now you get $100,000. What country do you think wins?
Well, they have... America? Well, they figure America would get more people who would want to be in the race, so there's only allowed so many from each country. So they take the fastest 10, and then they all put them against each other.
They take the elite 10? The elite 10. The elite master debaters. And then they go head-to-head and against time.
Wow. Until there is only one. There could be only one. Only one.
Only one. Well, hopefully they don't get it from that one doctor, because we know how he likes to mix up all the sperm and everything. Declining male fertility rates worldwide. That's what they're trying to bring light to.
Okay. , Iran, Israel, and even North Korea, the Daily Mail reporter. Alright, who wins out of that batch? , Iran, Israel, North Korea.
We've already been through all this. America? Yeah. What do you think?
What do you think? Ours are faster. I'm just curious what his theory is. Longer legs.
What? Longer legs. We have longer legs? I don't know if you've seen a sperm, but they don't have legs.
Oh, no, I've never seen one up close. What's going on here? Did you not take health class? That's just what they put in front of you.
Who do you think wins? I'm going to vote with America. Me too. Oh, wow, that was the one being made fun of.
Well, I mean, we have the most diverse country. Right, I mean, we could have somebody from each one of those countries that isn't American. Well, at least, you know, their origins. Genetically speaking.
Yeah. Yeah, those other countries are just going to fight each other before they get to the end. Right. Okay.
So, as they go through, they pick your best swimmers and then peep them against the other guys. And they train them? No, no, there's no training. They train the sperm?
Right, they train. Like Rocky? Da-da-da-da. They play music.
They play Eye of the Tiger. Right. Just for the Americans. Going the distance.
Rocky, the song. Wow, man. 02 inches. Approximately the size of a grain of salt.
02 inches. All the while, a controlled microcurrent flows through the channel, creating resistance, pushing each racer to its limits. So they have to fight against the stream. That's stressed it out a little bit.
Despite the tiny cores, times can range several seconds to over 40 minutes. And this one's not moving. Can you imagine watching... The North Korean seems to be falling behind.
Can you imagine watching 40 minutes of a sperm cell not moving? Right, just sitting there wiggling his tail going in a circle. I can't believe everybody wants to watch this. Did you want to watch this in health class?
I got to tell you, I think it'd be great, too, to have the guy there. Like, alright, so. Rooting for his sperm? No, no, no, no, worse than that.
Like, putting him on the spot when it's not doing it. Oh. So your sperm isn't moving. How are you feeling right now?
Well, you know, this explains why I can't have kids, or whatever. I don't know why I flipped the camera to Palmer. Oh, they're taking samples from Africa. Those will be the big ones.
- Africa's gonna get the dub? - The big sperm. - The big sperm? - Oh, they get extra muscles.
- Supreme beings. - They'll be timed individually and then put in a heat based on their motility of sperm. - Oh, we're dividing them into heaps. - Into heaps, yeah, you know, so many at one time.
- Right. - I'm just really baffled by this whole thing. - Tournament of champions. - Winners will be determined by which spermatozoa is first across the finish line, and the owner of the last sperm standing will collect their six-figure grand prize.
Wow. It's about making male fertility something people actually want to talk about, track and improve, he writes on the site. We're taking a topic no one wants to touch and making it interesting. All right.
I don't ever want to hear from these people that any movie is horrible. Oh, well, we'll cover who wins. I mean, you know. Oh, you're going to follow up on this.
We're going to follow up. We follow up. We like to follow up on stories. At the end of May.
Whenever that happens to the races. I don't know. You mean when the summer blockbusters come out in June? Yeah.
God forbid, we'll be covering those then. Do you have a video for us, Michael? I do not have a video. Aww.
I tried. I looked. I'm glad it didn't correlate with any of the stories, too. You know, there was the...
A personal video of him preparing his sample. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, please, God. Michael, you should enter.
You got a lot of kids. No, I'm past my prime. I saw... I saw the kid...
I can't take a drink. On the videos of today, I saw King Charles or whatever with Trump, and then he was doing something with his pocket, and it was zoomed in. " So, you know, and I kept looking, there was, I couldn't find anything today, so, there's nothing going on in the world. I have a video.
Do you? Oh, man. Yes, I have a video. I'm a little scared.
I'm concerned. Yeah. After all the news clippings you've been reading today, I'm a little nervous. I have a video.
Here's a sperm raised at a zoo. Could be even worse than that. There it is. This is the one from the villages that happened last week.
I'm going to have a Bukkake contest for video footage. God, this episode is going to be crazy. Where is... Yep.
Okay. I'm sending the video to you both. Here it comes. I mean...
*cough* Let me get off. Have a good one. This doesn't work. Hey, fun facts, when I run every morning, I pee, and sometimes pee, in someone's bushes, every morning.
Tee hee. Yesterday we covered a story about the lady who was pooping in everybody's yard. That is the woman. Was that a woman?
That is from her social media where she's talking about how she pees in the bushes at people's houses. Wow. Charles, from Rook's Coding, his wife is friends with her next door neighbor. The lady's been doing this for months, and the police finally just now did something about it.
So she runs, and sometimes when she runs, she's got to poop. Right, and pee, so she does it in people's yards. He sent me a picture of a Chester drawers in front of somebody's house like down by the curb for trash. She pooped all over the front of it.
Oh, she pooped on it. Yeah. Yeah, it's like down the front. She's unstable.
Yeah, there's something wrong with that. She looks crazy in the video. Yeah. Hey.
Hey, I just peed in somebody's yard. I just ate some lead paint chips. Right. I guess it's better than her killing somebody.
You think she has kids? Of course she does. Look at her. I'm sure.
I'm sure she does. She's running with a weighted vest too, bro. Right. This is no joke.
She's strong. That's wild. If anybody would like me to poop in your yard, leave a comment. Right, leave a comment below with your address.
I'm gonna start walking around with a weighted vest. Why not? You don't walk around with a weighted vest? I'm gonna start to.
Oh. I figured there would be something you would do. Yeah, yeah, of course. Why don't you just carry dumbbells?
Too much on the arms. You don't want to pull a forearm or something. Do you walk with someone else? You still walk with your neighbor?
No, we haven't done that lately. Maybe do the elastic bands, you guys can do them together. Ooh, yeah, yeah. He holds one, you hold one?
I don't know why the only thing that came into my mind was the guy from 50 First Dates. The guy from what? 50 First Dates. What did he do?
You don't remember the guy that played Rudy? Nobody knows his name? Oh, he means, yeah, the girl with the brain problem, her brother. Yeah.
Worked out all the time. Oh, I don't know. I'm just pumping up her. Are you on the Roids, or...
No, I'm just... Oh, I know who you're talking about. It's like the way they're working out all the time. Yeah, the guy who played Rudy, you're right.
Yeah, nobody knows his real name. Right. Also played in Lord of the Rings. Goonies, yeah.
And played in Goonies, too, that's right. Again, don't know his real name. Oh, you're the Goonies guy. Yeah.
All right, La Flor Dominicana, oh, Cigar News, sorry, Cigar News, Cigar News. Time for Cigar News. La Flor Dominicana, Oro Maduro No. 5, heading to Blue Smoke of Dallas.
Oh. In a couple of weeks, Blue Smoke of Dallas will host one of La Flor Dominicana's Home of Lajero events, Home of Lajero events, and there will be a special cigar at the event, the La Flor Dominican Oro Maduro No. 5 is a 6x48 version of the Oro Maduro blend, which uses the Nicaraguan Havana wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican Nicaragua fillers. La Flor Dominican created 100 boxes of 10 cigars for this retailer, Mr.
J. Davis. The one and the only. Why don't we ever get a special cigar from anybody?
I don't think we ask. Because we're bad for the industry. Remember that, Palmer? I don't think, first of all, not everybody feels that way.
Not everybody feels, just one guy. And you're starting to see that, like, I don't know, when you do specific things to try and hurt us, like, people see that and that's a bad look. Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't look good on your people.
Well, Jay Davis mentioned on the podcast saying that he buys a lot of LFD. He's all about that LFD. He buys a lot of LFD. I spent an hour with him.
They had waiters. Oh, yeah? No, they didn't. The Cigars and MSRP of?
Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. It's a special cigar. Special cigar? Yeah.
Mr. J. Davis? $18.
Phil? $30. $18. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Why did you even ask me if he hit it? Because you get to play. Because he didn't hear you say 30 the first time. Oh.
You always go too high. Oh yeah, I didn't hear what he said. I thought that was his first time. He's deaf and he's not listening to any of us, he's just busy talking.
Blue Smoke of Dallas has been a true partner for LFD. FD, Domenico, for many years, said Lito Gomez Sr. " Quoting Justin Andrews. "Creating something special for their 16th anniversary felt right.
It is our way of saying thank you, Jay Davis. The cigars are being made for the retailers' 16th anniversary. , Inez Gómez, and Lito Gómez Jr. will all be in attendance, ooh, at the event, ooh, everyone's going, all the best people will be there, all the Gómez's, all the Gómez's, hey, anybody got a comment, I'm moving on to the next story?
No, did you see that, uh, Tony was rolling at the show? Is that the tall one? Yeah. Yeah, I saw him.
He's, he's my guy, I like Tony. I like the young one. Young one's cool too. He said hi to me.
Lito. Yeah, yeah. But I've known, I've known Tony forever. Oh.
I've known Junior for a little bit. To see him rolling cigars, I'm like, oh, this is pretty badass. Oh, I thought you meant rolling like he was walking through the thing. No.
You meant he was actually rolling cigars. Yeah, he had a table there and everything. I thought you were using some type of cool hip vernacular. I want to learn how to roll.
I think that would be badass. I would like to, too. Yeah. If we only knew someone who could teach us.
You can't. Your hands hurt too much. I can do it. No, you're old.
Maybe it would be good for my hands. I don't think it would be good for your hands. It would be good. You just want to keep it for yourself.
You're like that. Yeah, you're right. I'm super selfish. You are.
I always... I can't believe you. Like when you left yesterday, you told me you'd be here first thing this morning so we could hang out all day. Maybe we should just do an episode one time on rolling.
All I'm going to do is get a haircut and I'll be there first thing. Rolled in at 12:15. My barber got a nail in his tire. Then get your haircut tomorrow or get a new barber.
Tomorrow, there's no time. I might not be here tomorrow. You're right. Where are you going?
I might die. I'm old. You guys keep talking about it. No, we're only at episode 520-something.
You got to make it to 1,000. 1,000, yeah. And you can die all you want. Greg wins five years, I told him I can't commit to that.
Okay. Maybe we should do an episode on Rolling Cigars. Well, you're married, so you won't get cancer. Well, I won't.
No, I'm not gonna die of cancer. Okay. There's a 68% chance that I won't. Maybe we should do an episode on Rolling Cigars?
Yeah. Maybe we should do a final episode, like the last one, and then just save it in case I do not. You can play that. You should start building some type of memorial video for you.
Oh, like they have for all the celebrities? And then they accidentally released him. Yeah, if you're watching this, I have passed. If you're seeing this, hi, this is Mike Palmer's Lasagna Cigars.
If you're watching this, I have died. It's a death farewell. So I would like to say farewell, and then I've never liked either one of these people. Wow.
See, what I will do is, now I will take that clip, and I'll save it, and I'll open up his memorial with it, and then I'll end it with what he finished off. I just want to never like it anymore. Oh, there you go. That'd be perfect.
Yeah. I'll put some nice pictures in the middle. Oh, nice. Oh, nice.
But they fade in and out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Playing memories? Somber music.
Memory. Yeah. Right the corners of a... No, no.
I can't get copyright infringement. Oh, that's right. Can't wait to put the one... We'll have AI write one similar.
Write a song similar to memories that is enough change where I can still use it. Exactly. Something somber. Something somber.
Or my tuberculosis palmer has... Right. You gave me this. I don't know what you're talking about.
Maybe this is the last hurrah. You know, like, When people get better after they were sick. Oh, right before they die? Yeah.
Oh, it does happen. Oh, he's gotten better. Oh, he died. That's what the people say at the hospice places.
Yeah. A sudden burst of energy and they're better. Are you touring those? I'm trying to pick a nice one.
I'm sorry. I'm trying to pick a good one. Are you touring those? I'm sorry.
It was there. I don't care which one you use. I'm going to die there. Did we cover a story about a La Aurora with a price increase?
I'm not sure because I have to go back to my ears. I don't think so. Okay, we're gonna do it right now. All right.
La Roar USA has informed its retailers that it will be increasing prices for 2026. What? Yes, I know. Effective May 1st, tomorrow, 2026, the company's price list will increase by an average of?
Boots? Bill? 80 cents. 3%.
Why does he always go so high? How much is this cigar? $800. I said 80 cents.
Yeah, it's 3%. He was right. Oh my God, I got that one too. All right, what's 3% of 18 bucks?
$4? Not 80 cents. What's 3% of $4? Their cigars are only $4?
Yes. Wholesale? Oh, so this is on wholesale side. No, this is retail.
Okay, so if it's $8, what's 3% of $8? I have never bought an $8 La Aurora. It's 30, you buy, you buy $30 La Aurora's? You buy La Aurora's?
I feel like, I used to buy the ones in the tubes. And there's 18 bucks. Okay, those are 18 bucks. What's 3% of 18 dollars?
This is a fun game. Um, should be, uh, 50 some cents. Okay, so still not 80 cents then? No, that's close.
Okay. I found this crystal light powder has caffeine in it. It's amazing. Oh, I see.
Ah. Today's the first day of using it. Now it's making sense. Yeah.
I forgot I had it. I saw it this morning. I'm like, oh, I forgot to take these. And now you're like, zing, zing.
Zing. News of the price increase was conveyed to retailers ahead of last week's PCA. Well, that was last month's PCA though. As we look ahead to 2026, inflammatory pressure, higher labor, cost increase, raw material expenses, and volatile regulatory and logistics costs continue impact, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
What's inflammatory pressure? It's when you like strain your ankle. Right, it's when you push too hard and you're on the toilet? Yeah.
So that's... When your wife adds an extra finger. That's why the... Right, when your wife adds more than one finger.
That's why the price is going up. Right. Because he pushed too hard on the toilet. La Cepcion Selections Resales honors 25 years of Diadema SPA.
I have no idea what any of that means. Oh. But this is the only other story that was current. Okay.
The Most of Habanos SA Edition Regional Cigars follow the same formula. Choose a Cuban Cigar brand, just not a global brand like Cohiba or Monte Cristo, and then select a Vitola that isn't offered as a regular production size. However, there have been a few exceptions for this third time. Italy is getting one of those exceptions, Diadema SPA, the Italian distributor, Cuban cigars, has shown off its upcoming La Excepcion release.
The La Excepcion Selectos resale as an upcoming edition regular cigar. We can jump past this. Okay. It's a very long story with a lot of words that you can say.
Yeah, who cares? Plus, it's a Cuban cigar in Italy. It sounds like... It sounds like...
What? It sounds like they were getting the rejects. They were picking one that's not normally out, and then we're making out our special one. That's exactly what they're doing, at least I think.
I think you're right. I think he is right. Like, you can buy these. These rare cigars.
Nobody wants this weird size over here. That no one can find. We have gone through the trenches. Gurkha has snubbed their nose at them.
We have seeked out the finest cigars that have been sitting in dust. We have one offer from somebody named Mary Alice, but we're not sure. No. He wants it on credit.
That's not dust, that's plume. This is mine now. This is mine now. I found these, these are mine.
I have this new knife. Alright, it's time for the industry's favorite game. What's the score? Today's Cigar Gentlemen, June 18, 2011, Charlie Minato is the reviewer, is the San Cristobal Lancero.
Oh. How do you want to do this? You want to try and win today, or you want me to win? 86.
I think he's going to try to win all the time. I mean, San Cristobal, that's a good cigar. Yep. I tried to get one of the new ones, but I couldn't.
I'll go 88. Mr. Wasp sort of ditched me. He ditched you?
Not Michael Wasp, the brother. The other one? " He smacked him in his kneecap? " I went by the booth once and he kept his back to me.
I think he knew I was there. He ignored you. Right. Hmm.
That's all right. It looked like he'd put on weight. Wow. I don't even know why you waste time trying to get these cigars.
Well everybody else gave me the cigars that I asked. And I only wanted one. Who else did you ask? Uh, I didn't ask.
You just go out and people offer. Some people put them in your pocket as you walk by. Right. Are they people you know?
Yeah. Okay, so give me like three examples. Uh, Lure Cigars. Okay, you like him, you know him.
George at Geneva, is there the ones with the gold on the gold foil? That's a little gold. It's on Cavalier? Yeah, Cavalier.
Sorry, George Cavalier. The Drunk Chicken People. Okay. There was one more.
Who was the other one? I don't remember who the other one was. Probably the biggest one. I was supposed to get Sand Pride but he never came back.
I'm a little weird on that one. Kearney gave me a couple. Yeah. So you mentioned people that you know and you like.
- Yeah, yeah, that's usually the way it works. - You know the Wasp guys? - So now you know where you're standing with Wasp. - Oh, in Espinosa, obviously.
- Yeah, that was where I thought you were gonna start. - Yeah. - Well, that's sort of a given, I mean. - And then obviously, like, Roma, Skip, like, we just have access to the truck.
- Yeah, we just have access to their stuff. You want one, you take one. - Right. - Right.
- And then you know our stuff. You know what I had yesterday for the first time? - What? - A smoke distrust me.
- Yeah? - I mean, at the show, it was too busy, we didn't have a lot, so I didn't take any there. I had one yesterday because Greg was putting them away and gave me some samples to take with me. It was really good.
Yeah, no kidding. I hadn't had one before. I'm aware. Which one did you smoke?
I was surprised it was so good though. For the price. Yeah. I know.
I mean, I could smoke that every day. Right. Isn't that wild? It's wild.
It was a good cigar. Dude. When did you have one? Yesterday.
Oh, you guys are all smoking the inventory, great. Wow. I smoked one with Greg. " They do what?
On the final production. They put the wrong bands on the wrong one? And so now we're sticking with that. So now like the pink or the red and white bands are gonna be on the Habanos.
Oh. Oh, not the black ones? The black ones are gonna be on the Maduros. That's a cool band though.
He's like, we could redo all of this. Oh God. We could change it moving. I'm like...
No. Expanded. This is... This is where we're at now.
Welcome. Right. But make sure when they go forward, they don't change it back. Right.
Here we are. 5x38, Nicaraguan Corojo, Binder is Nicaraguan, Filler is Nicaraguan, Country is Nicaraguan, Factory, My Father's Cigars, it's an $11 cigar back in 2011, and they smoked... Three. Doesn't say, but the smoking time was one hour and 45 minutes.
86. It's an older review. Yeah, I'm gonna stick with 88. Clue number one: the flavor profile is rich and layered, with cocoa, cedar, pepper, and creaminess all competing for the spotlight.
As it progresses, it settles into a smooth, full-bodied experience, especially in the final third, where the cocoa and earthy notes really shine and balance everything out. 87. 88. Clue number two.
Construction is very solid across the board, exactly what you expect from my father. The cigar has a firm, consistent role, a dependable burn, and produces thick, satisfying smoke, giving it that premium feel from start to finish. 89. I was unaware that they were made by my father.
What? Seriously? Yeah, San Cristobal, I've only smoked like maybe a handful of them. Yeah, they've always been made by my father.
Um, they're really hard to find though, like you can only find them like ABC or... That's why, because they've been destroyed. So they're discounted. Yeah, super discounted.
Um... I'm gonna stick at 88. Third clue. The draw is consistently on the tighter side, which may turn some smokers off.
And early on, the profile can come across as a bit generic and overly toasty, lacking the complexity you'd expect before it really opens up after the cigar, or later in the cigar, sorry. 87. Complexity to expect it really opens up later in the cigar. 87.
88. Okay, they didn't really have a final thought, it was called the end, so we're gonna go with that, as the final thought. Okay. It's an older review.
Okay. Different format. The San Cristobal Lancero is one of the everyday Lanceros. There is a lot of them which is needed given you smoke them every day.
Might completely make sense. And the San Cristobal with the smoothness and fuller body provides something unique. The Corojo blend is not as refined as I would have hoped. I really am a fan of spicy cedar Corojo.
But it works. It is, however, confusing. Excuse me, as much as I sit here and say that the San Cristobal and its cousin, the La Aurora de Cuba, Edicione Especial Lancero, are both cigars that I should smoke more of, I'm not getting a box, it's on the nothing worth complaining about, to "I like these" side of things, but not a classic cigar. 86.
Man, it sounded so good in the beginning, kind of went downhill from there, I'm going to go 87, you went the wrong way, 80, I win, they both went off, look at that, pyrotechnics, pyrotechnics, you don't get that in other shows, yeah, no one comments about our pyrotechnics, what was the, what was the number? 80, 80. Really? Yes.
Wow. I win. I gave that one. Yeah, I thought for sure that someone would say pyrotechnics.
Well, I guess they made a couple things about it before. Yeah, what other show does that? Nobody. We're the only podcast with pyrotechnics.
Right. Special effects. Cigar podcast. Cigar podcast with pyrotechnics.
No, I would really gather the only one. I don't understand. If you watch this podcast and you talk to somebody about the podcast, one thing I would say say is these psychopaths like they do a game at the end and when one of them wins he hits fireworks well only the one only the one because when the other one wins all the time he gets nothing he gets that i'll get you a flashlight and when you win you can flick the flashlight Yes. Yes.
Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. Okay. All right, now we have a small announcement. Spoking Tobacco Show is on hold.
Oh, you're gonna say this. I saw something. Apparently, Matthew is not feeling well, and he doesn't want to do a show, so we hope you feel better, Matty. Yes.
Feel better. We hope to speedy recovery. Yes. So that you can do your show.
Yes. Feel better. Okay. Feel better.
Good. Don't attack him. I hope he feels better, too. I'm not attacking him.
I just was making an announcement. Okay. I'm so angry all the time. Okay.
I'll give you a little speech. Any other announcements? Like and subscribe. You're reviewing and listening to the show.
