ACHP Episode 526 Ice On Disney

Episode Summary

Episode 526 of A Cigar Hustler's Podcast finds Mike Palmer, Mikey, and engineer Phil McGuffey working through a heavy news day before getting to cigars. The opening half is classic ACHP banter: the ongoing cruise-ship virus saga that has now spread to Europe (with passengers testing positive after disembarking and a dozen people unaccounted for), ICE agents detaining Disney Cruise Line and Holland America crew members in San Diego in front of passengers, a bizarre Palm Coast Chick-fil-A drive-thru arrest, and Welcome to Rockville returning to Daytona with 160 bands and record heat — plus a long riff on three-day festival camping and the realities of "shit tents."

The cigar conversation kicks off with a viral clip from a Houston lounge (Stoic Cigars) claiming Houston is the number one city in the US for cigar culture. The guys push back hard, arguing Miami and Tampa's Ybor City have the real claim — Cuban heritage, brand headquarters, and Ybor's history as the "Cigar Capital of the World" with 200+ factories rolling a million cigars a day in the early 1900s — while acknowledging Ybor today has largely faded as a cigar destination.

In cigar news, RoMa Craft Tobac announced the CroMagnon Visigoth, described as the final CroMagnon brand, targeted for late 2026. The blend uses a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed wrapper over an Indonesian Besuki binder with Corojo and Criollo fillers from Honduras' Jamastran Valley plus Nicaraguan tobacco — the same blend as Craft Marquette Foreign & Domestic and the Riverside 15th Anniversary — across at least seven vitolas with typically unpronounceable Visigoth-themed names. Drew Estate and GRE Trade also announced the Blackened Experience Frankfurt, a 250-guest evening event at the Ocean Club at Gateway Gardens in Germany tied to the Blackened collaboration with Metallica's James Hetfield, Jonathan Drew, and whiskey expert Rob Dietrich, with a retailer-only pre-event earlier in the day. Two Guys Cigars, Single Cask Nation, and AGANORSA Leaf announced their fourth collaboration, a 5 1/2 x 50 with a Corojo 99 wrapper and Criollo 98 binder, on sale May 15.

The show closes with "What's the Score?" on the Alfonso Extra Añejo No. 3 from Costa Rica — a $999.75 box of 25 (nearly $40 a stick) with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and Nicaraguan and Peruvian filler. Reviewer notes praised near-razor-sharp construction and a flavor arc from caramel to cedar to lemongrass, peanut butter, cocoa, and graham cracker, with white pepper and crème brûlée on the retrohale, but flagged light body and strength. Final score: 93.

Transcript

I mean, he was on that show, too. It could have been him. Action! Welcome to a Cicara Hustler Podcast, episode 526.

I'm Mike Palmer, your host, and with me today in engineering, Phil McGuffey, Mike who has apparently written a new book titled: You Don't Have to Run Fast If You Shoot Them In The Leg, a book about self-preservation. I hope I'm rich. And that is my co-host, Mikey, who wants to sign up for my volleyball league, Shtepan Kavich? Oh, he finally did it?

I'm not doing volleyball. Oh. " Yeah, I remember that. It was when he was in the crowd.

Right. I'm in the thick of it with basketball. But I'm not the head coach on any of those teams. What the difference does that make?

You're starting your own volleyball league. No. Wait, wait, you're doing a job on volleyball now? No.

Yes. No, I'm not. Yes, he is. I heard him, Preston, talking about it.

They're gonna split it. No. Oh, Preston's gonna do daytime, he'll do nighttime, so that way they can watch the kids when they get home at super late or something? I don't know.

I was trying to make that funny. It just sort of died off. I was struggling. I was struggling.

I'm too far into this, I don't know what to do. Nighttime, something, something, something, something. Oh, God. Oh, good, now he has it.

I'm gonna die. One listener said they caught it from watching the show. Who is that, Brittany? No, no.

On today's show, the killer cruise is spread to Europe. Oh, no. Ice agents arrest Mickey Mouse. Chick-fil-A doesn't really mean for your pleasure.

Uh-oh. Wow, here we go. Rockville is back in Daytona and so are 160,000 fans this weekend. Then in cigars, Roma announces a new brand, Drew Estate is given the black experience, and two guys get a new cigar.

And then we have a single, what's the score? We have some good cigar news today. Yes, another new cigar Roma Christ putting out that we really didn't know about. But first, Mikey, how does somebody get some of that CH Pod swag?

Maybe a cup or something? A cup or something? We're not quite at cup level yet. Oh, we're not at the cup.

com, a Cigar Holsters podcast. Yesterday's episode just came up and it was a good one. That was Tuesday's episode. Check it out.

It's a confusing Palmer. What's wrong with me? If you're Phil, apparently you have the black lung. Oh, God.

Phil has caught it. I've got the black lung pop. A couple of comments from our show. Thanks for those comments.

All right, Palmer. All right, ready to move on. I love how he's always so prepared for this part of the show, like he's surprised. I have to look it up.

What if you were to, like, look at it earlier and pre-print them into your notes? I do look at it earlier. I'm not printing it. Put it in your notes.

Screenshot it, something. " Thank you, Buzzinator. Thank you. As you know, who I'm surrounded by.

And they just, they believe a lot of things. I told you I read something. They believe a lot of things. They believe a lot of things.

You're the one that said the show was over. And there's a lot of social media buzz about our short clip sometimes because of the things that they say. Well, this wouldn't be a show if we didn't say those things. Yeah, you want us to not say things and then nobody looks at the clips?

Yeah, you want us to be as boring as the other show? Three million people are still looking for the gravity to be turned on. 6 million. No one's discounting it.

I'm just simply stating the obvious here. Hey guys, you like my Perdomo hair? Let's just do this show. Ruckus Unchained says it was Mon Cherie.

It was Mon Cherie. He obviously didn't watch the rest of the episode, we lost him. Anyway, there you guys are idiots. " Yeah.

Yeah. You know what's so funny is I said something like that too, after the show. I think I did, right? Yeah.

That's where you got the idea? Yeah, I got it, I obviously got it from Mike. No, he got it from you. I don't think I said it on air.

Maybe you called him. Maybe you called him. So, he's right. We like Spicy Palmer.

I need highly caffeinated, full of energy. Yeah, I forgot the packet today. Yeah, we need you to bring the packet. You want one of these Red Bulls?

Nah. I got a Mountain Dew running over here. " When he comes and picks up his hat, he can get the mask. You just gonna give it to him?

I gotta sign it. Well, we'll get him to sign it. You gotta sign it, Phil McGuffey. Okay.

All right. All right. PM. Yeah, there's a couple from pre-older shows.

I have only heard of Villager from one podcaster. I've never seen one of their cigars. They do exist. They do exist.

They've been around for a long time. And at CW also said on a previous episode, okay, I laughed my ass off at shoot the zombie. Good one, Phil. Thank you.

Thank you. Actually, that was from this one. I see what it did. Shooting the zombies on the boat.

Yep. If you want to hear your comment, read aloud on the show, comment below. There's a possibility that we will read it out loud. And that's all I have for today.

So. We'll see you later. On with the show. It sort of ends in like a downer.

A somber. Yeah, you just all sort of give up like, well, that's all I got. Okay, all right, let me try it again. Okay, and now, on with the show.

These are the comments, and you didn't tell them how to get, you know, if they comment, they'll get on the show. Well, you normally say if they're funny. None of these were funny today. Yeah, they were.

They were great. Well, you used to give me a hard time, because sometimes I would say ones that aren't funny. So now I just say, if it's a comment, and that's it. You may get it on the show.

Nobody entered the contest at all, though. Because they were supposed to comment on what they think I said. Or what I did say. There weren't any of those.

Maybe it's not a good prize. I've only had that thing for two years, but it's never been out of the box. You know what, Palmer? I guessed.

" Do I win? I'm the closest. No. But I did put a picture of the product over your face in the three shot, though.

Wow, that's messed up. " It's just comment. Don't like it is. I know.

You gotta go back to that show, though, right? Or that, this, was it on this episode? Yesterday's episode. Or, the one that...

Then I got a thing. Yesterday's episode. Thursday, two weeks ago. People like to keep it, you got to keep it simple, right?

I'll just keep it, I'll take it home. New contest. Well, you have until when to do it? I'm not exactly sure.

He doesn't remember the rules now. No, that was a confusing part. I think it's a Tuesday show, but that's actually the one we do on Monday with Greg. So we're not going to pick the winner with Greg.

We wait to pick the winner with you. So it's technically, well, they had to enter until then. We had to enter until then. We didn't say when we were going to say.

Right. So, what's the answer then? Tuesday show. So, you'll announce the winner?

Wednesday show. Okay. And if not, there will be a new contest. Alright.

Yeah. Right. Or either just comment below. Send Mikey a picture of your butt and the best butt wins.

Maybe you should trim your mustache or something. I do it every Saturday. It always itches you, but it's a Thursday. I know, so in two days I will trim it again.

Maybe you should do it twice a week. Twice a week. No, because I like that it bothers you. You like that it bothers me?

Yes. I go out of my way to cater to you and make you happy. How are you catering to me? I do.

I try my best to keep you happy. Oh. Keep Palmer happy. K-P-H.

You're not doing a good job. Well. Okay. All right, we're moving on now?

That's not nice. You like spicy Palmer. Here he is. Here he is.

New contest. The deadly virus has now spread to Europe after passengers who had already left the MV The Honduras ship tested positive back home, 12 people are missing from the boat. They're missing. They got off the boat, and then they spread out and all went home, no matter where they're at.

They jumped. Might have. Yeah, I wouldn't stay on the boat either. Might have.

Well, but now there's a guy in Europe who is spreading the virus in Europe. There's a, I read after I pulled this, there's one in America too, a husband and a wife, they both have it. Yeah, this is... Wait a second.

As we've watched this, this has been improperly mishandled. He's been improperly mishandled from the jump. You're telling me there's one husband and one wife from this boat in America? Yes.

And they can't tell us their names? Well, no, they're not going to say their names. Somebody will go find them and shoot the zombies. Yeah.

Yeah, you don't want to do that. Why? We're going to have a sickness here. A death toll.

Oh, my God. We already have it here. They're here. Yeah.

And the guy, the one guy's in London, he's got it. He's like a plague thing? Could be. Yeah, they don't know.

It could be person-to-person transferred. Yeah, better start containing people. No docking. I know.

The virus can lie dormant for up to eight weeks. He went to Zurich Hospital for testing after the cruise operator. Ocean wide expeditions emailed recent passengers about the spreading virus that has killed now four people. That's the problem.

And it has sickened at least five. So one of those five has now got it. And now there's four that have it, but... All we had to do was bring them to one spot and contain and take care of them and then we would have no issue.

And now here we are. No way to take care of them. Once you get it, you get it. Well, you hope that you catch it early enough where you can save them.

Yeah, but... You know what? Better to just let them loose and have them go everywhere. No, I didn't want them off the boat.

You're the one who wanted everybody rescued. You can't keep them on the boat. You don't have the ability to take care of them on the boat. Sure you can.

No, you don't. If you set up some of the rooms as hospital beds, and then you treat them on the boat, when they're well, you let them go. Yeah, kill them all. It becomes the quarantine ship.

Yeah, there's a movie about that. Okay, so let's say that that works. Okay. Why didn't it happen?

Well, they didn't think of it, obviously. People got off the boat, now it's too late. Nobody knows the who. This is a damn shame.

Well, the one guy got off before they knew what was going on. He got off at a different port. But now he is, you know, reported sick, and now he's got it. But I read this morning 12 people are missing, so somehow 12 people got off the boat.

They jumped. Where they show it on a map, it's kind of far to just swim for it. Who knows if they made it back? It could be shark bait.

These seem like rich people. Maybe a helicopter came and got them. You think somebody would have seen the helicopter in the middle of the night? Yeah.

Nobody told on them. Is there a boat missing? A lifeboat? Yeah.

Oh, I mean, now they're making movies. And the 12 of them got escaped? Oh, that's what it's called, the 12 escaped. The 12 escaped?

The 12 escaping. Yeah, it's like the movie that had Dustin Hoffman in it with the monkey. Now it's a rat, and the rat is running around biting people. Was this 1970s Dustin Hoffman?

Because I wasn't alive. No, that movie came out in the '80s or '90s. Do you think they're going to have a vaccine for it in like six months and then there's going to be three major pharmaceuticals? They're trying to work on something, but there's nothing happening right now.

There's going to be three major pharmaceutical companies all around. Right. I think you hit this on the head, Mikey. They're like, COVID's really not scaring anybody anymore.

Can we do this hoota hoota virus thing now? We'll speed this one up. Everybody will go, we'll go to the vacant malls that are all desolate and get shots. Right, and get shots for this now.

Yeah. And then when they show the picture of the guy that first had it, the British guy, he turns out to be Asian. Something that'll be good for the mitochondria? They got us a good.

It'll go through the mitochondria. Everybody can complain, and I will take it, and it'll be uprisings again, the military refuses, and then they all get fired. Hey, good news though, cigars will sell a lot. Everybody's got to stay home, yeah.

Right. Maybe the PCA put it together. Do you think Dr. Fauci is out in the public anywhere, or do you think he's kind of hiding?

No, that guy's on his own island. He got lots of money. He owns the island and wouldn't let the boat go in. You think we dust them back off and we shove them in front of everybody?

I'm back! The hoot the hoot the virus is getting hit everyone. Here's what we're doing. This is Dr.

Tucci. Everybody five feet apart. Everybody five feet apart. I remember the first time I went to Universal when they had those, like during COVID, and they had the little spacers and stuff.

Footprints. And I was like, "Keep your distance! " - The public used to have the arrows, you can only go one way down the aisle. - Yeah, I love seeing the faded ones, like the people who just didn't clean them up afterwards.

- Yeah, there's some places that didn't clean it up. - They still eat, they're still around. - Yeah, there's a pizza place across the street from, what's it called, Blue Springs Pizza. When you walk in there, the things are still on the ground where you stand.

Please stand here while you wait to place your order. - And wait, if you stand in the circle, you're safe. - Right. And they're only, like this far apart, they're not even five feet, because the whole building's not that big.

If they five-feated you, you'd have to be back by the bathroom. Oh, I love it. Well, I hope that this gets contained. If not, it's going to be a problem.

They're everywhere now. Yep. Everybody's going to catch it. Probably catch it.

Some rat pooped in the rice. That's what I was going to say. Oh, good. And the rice?

Yes. I'd just pick something that rats would get into. Rice is in bags normally, not boxes or cans. Bring out your dad.

I like the guy in the spam. The spam's in a can. That's safe to eat. Bring out your dad.

Is it safe to eat? Yeah. Spam's delicious. We should do a spam cooking show.

Oh, I don't want to be part of that. No, no. You don't like it? You never had it?

You just don't like it? I don't know. Have you never had it? I hate the food shows.

Wait, wait, wait. We did a food show once. Yeah. With Hunt.

Yeah. With Matt Hunt. Remember, he got mad at us and walked off? Did he walk off?

Yeah! He got mad and stopped the show, and we had to calm him down. Oh, he was. Did you guys?

Because we were, like, attacking him. We were making fun of him. Making fun of his sauce. You know what?

There's a cigar show. Now we're gonna eat pizza. We're gonna eat spaghetti. What?

We can order spam. We don't have to order it. I'll go get it. It's like a buck a can.

It's not even expensive. No, no, no. I know a place. You know a place?

Oh, you're gonna get it already made? There's this Hawaiian spot. I was gonna say, it's an Hawaiian restaurant? Yep.

Oh, it's really good. It's called like, uh, Sweet and Salty. Yeah, but where is it? What's the name of the restaurant?

It's in Sanford. A Hawaiian restaurant in Sanford? Sweet and Salty Kahuna? I think it's called.

Is that the name of the meal or the restaurant? The restaurant. Big Kahuna Burger? Big Kahuna Burger?

No, no, no. I'll send it to you when I can use my phone so Mikey doesn't yell at me. Yeah, don't use your phone. For God's sake, don't use your phone.

Big Kahuna Burger. I ordered it. It was good. It was like a wrap.

Oh, it sounds delicious. I like that. Because they eat it there like crazy. It's like a fine cuisine in Hawaii, because originally it was left from the war, and then, so they all just...

It was left from the war? Well, when we... World War II, when... When we what?

You know. No, I don't. When we fought Hawaii? Yeah.

Hold on. I don't. You remember when they came to Pearl Harbor? When they came to, when they came to Pearl Harbor?

Well, the others came to Pearl Harbor. Okay. Yeah. Why is Spam such a big deal in Hawaii?

Because The Rock said so. Because you know what The Rock is cooking? Yeah. Spam.

And Oprah's giving it away. You get a Spam. It was first introduced during World War II by American soldiers to Hawaiian natives who quickly adopted it as an important part of their life. I mean, he's old.

He has experience. He's seen it. When the Germans bombed! I was there!

When the Germans bombed! I gave the first can to Mukiluki. When the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, did we give up? Germans?

Ah, poor little Mukiluki. Let it go, he's on a roll. You know what I'm talking about? All right, Ice Agent stormed a Disney cruise ship docking in California and arrested multiple staff in front of the passengers.

Mickey's gotta go, huh? Mickey's gotta go. Ice Agent stormed a Disney cruise ship docking in San Diego They would arrest multiple workers in front of stunned passengers. Vacationers watched as immigration officials cuff several employees.

You really need to use cuffs, I mean. They're like pink cuffs. Seems a bit excessive. Yeah.

On the Disney magic ship, while it was being unloaded, passenger Darmi Mahetta took a video of the moment saying one of those detained was her server during the five day trip last month. I loved him. He was so nice. He was so nice.

I tipped him well. Well, Darmi Mahata. Well, he was in full uniform, which was his blazer tie, and some other employees were still in their chef's uniforms with their name tags on it. Mahata said she called the arrest really upsetting.

Yeah, it hurt my feelings? It hurt my feelings because he was such a good server. Okay, so like, but they obviously have a job. So, like, what did they do?

I don't know, because, well, you haven't been on one, but every time when you go on a cruise, the server has, like, their name and what country they're from. Right. Hardly anybody on there is from America that works on the ship. They all have contracts with the cruise lines and stuff.

Okay. So I don't, I mean, they don't have to be citizens to work on the cruise ship. Right. You think that's their real name or you think it's like Hooters?

Oh, who knows? It could be. I mean, what do you know? There could be 12 guys sharing, you know, Baba Kunush or something.

Baba Kunush. That's the first thing I can think of. Well, I'm going to tell you this thing. Those 12 guys were sharing the same social.

Well, I mean, if they're from another country, they don't need a social security number Because the cruise line is actually not owned by Disney. Normally, the cruise ship is registered somewhere else. Really? Well, normally, like, OK, I'll tell you how it works in construction.

This is great. I love I love this. What these guys do is that there will be one guy that's a citizen or got citizenship. Right.

And then they'll all have the same social. Right. Because they're working in America. No, no, no, no, that's that.

No, they're working in Deltona. That's why they all share the same social. They have to have one for you to hire them. No, what happens is nobody ever catches that unless you really look at it.

Okay, it still doesn't nullify the fact that on a cruise ship you don't have to have a social security number to work there. I'm sure you have to have a social to work for Disney. You're not working for Disney, you're working for whoever owns a cruise line. The boat could be registered in London or the Bahamas or anywhere.

Those are two totally different places. Yeah, I mean, maybe you're right, but it sounded like this had something to do with America. It does. It does.

I mean, when they landed in San Diego, if the guys didn't get off the boat, they're not technically in America. Ah, tomato, tomato, you got handcuffs, buddy. Right, I know. But I mean, they could have grabbed everybody.

I don't think it works. They could have grabbed Sylvia from Sweden if they wanted to. I don't think it works that way. Yeah.

I don't think any of these guys were from Sweden. Yeah. You don't know that. They didn't say the color of the man's skin, or his name, you think because he was a server on a cruise ship he couldn't be white?

The last cruise ship I was on, there were some questionable people. Yeah? Yeah. I tell you what, I had to get blood work done today, there were some questionable people in there too.

Yeah. Oh, I'm sure you got blood work today. Oh, they're coming back. You're so moody.

That's the dry foot, white foot. Your hormones are off. No? Yeah.

Did they give you an orange juice? no cookie no he just did a blood test he didn't donate i didn't give blood oh when i when i do blood tests they give me orange juice because i might pass out that's because you're screaming because of the needle um i haven't given blood in a while they really kind of pissed me off last time i was there so i didn't go i haven't gone recently more about the illegals palmer i went Several immigration rights groups have been up in arms about the Disney arrest and also claimed four seafarers, in parentheses, were arrested on the Holland American MV Zedanum cruise ship. Yeah, that's definitely not an American cruise ship with American in the name. Is that the rat one?

Sounds like the rat one. No. That one wasn't from Holland. Remember, you said it was from somewhere else.

It's a Dutch cruise line. You said they couldn't be from Holland, they were from somewhere else. - No, I think... - I said Holland because of the tulips and the wooden shoes.

- And I said Netherlands? - Yeah, I think that's what you said. - No one corrected you on that, by the way. - So I could have been right.

- Y'all were slipping. - Or I was right. - No, you were wrong. - This is not an isolated incident.

" So I guess they're just running around and arresting people. They're just cleaning up cruise ships now. Cruise ships. Five or six at a time.

Get the closest ones to the opening. Grab 'em. Great. We're gonna have no cooks on the cruise ships.

Or waiters. Or, or we could just go through like the regular system and, you know, like the rest of us. Yeah, whatever happened to like Steven Seagal chefs? Like the retired Navy SEAL on Under Siege?

Yeah. Or whatever he was. Who got a job because the captain of the ship is his old buddy. Yeah.

Well, he's fat now and doesn't fit through the gangways. Yeah, and... He is legal. And I got news for you.

You don't know that. He might not be. That wasn't on a cruise ship. No, it wasn't on a cruise ship.

No, it wasn't on a cruise ship. No, no. But we should have chefs like that. That was an epic movie, though.

Yeah. I didn't like the train one. What? " That's it.

There's nothing. There's nothing afterwards. Yeah. All right.

Alright, a Palm Coast man was arrested after being accused of exposing himself to a minor in the Chick-fil-A drive-thru. Is that why I had to bail you out? Oh, God. I don't live in this city.

I don't go to Chick-fil-A to line you too long. So you expose yourself to McDonald's. Pretty much, pretty much. Did you catch that?

I don't go to this city. That's ridiculous. It's Flagler County. I don't know where that is.

Yeah, that's really... You can only do it in Volusia. Yeah, exactly. I don't live there.

Oh, so you do it here. Yes! Let's see, in a release, a deputy said the respondent of the incident on April 24th at a Chick-fil-A along State Road 100. Upon arrival, a deputy spoke with the victim, a minor, who claimed that a customer had exposed his genitals to her while she was working at the drive-thru window.

The release states the victim told deputies she was handing the food, handing the customers food and saw his exposed genitals with a bluish-green circle object. I'm sorry. This is what the story gets better, but she believed to be a sex toy around his penis. Oh, using surveillance footage, deputy said, oh, no, it gets better.

I have to do this for my kegels. Deputy said they managed to identify the suspect as Luke Dudowitz. Oh, Dudowitz. Dudowitz, 33 years old.

Illegal. He later spoke with Dudowitz at his home, and he admitted to going through Chick-fil-A drive-thru earlier that day, investigator said. He also confirmed that he owned a bluish-green vibrating sex toy. Wow.

Which he had with him in the car. However, he denied that he was wearing it at the time and denied having his generals exposed. But during questioning, Dudowitz revealed he had indeed been wearing the sex toy while heading through the drive-thru, claiming to have been testing a mode on the device which would adjust the vibration speed based on how fast he was traveling. Oh, really?

Because, you know, you need that on a sex toy in case you're moving quick, I guess. That's some next level stuff right there. Right. Yeah, well, he's run out of time to return it, so he had to hurry up and test it.

Throughout the interview, Dudowitz denied exposure in his genitals, deputies wrote, he stated that he did not believe his genitals or the device would be visible under his shorts, but may have accidentally popped out. Oh, I may have unintentionally exposed myself. Yes, I may have not have noticed that it just sprung out. Picking up the nuggies.

Right. Oh, my God, what's that coming out of your shorts? Nothing? Nothing.

Don't look down there. Why are you picking your shorts up? Don't worry about that. Dudowitz was ultimately arrested, now faces charges of lewd and lascivious exhibition of an offender to an 18 years old in the presence of a victim who was under 16 years of age.

I'm sorry, that's a crazy charge. Very age specific. Between the ages of 18 and 16 years old. - Wow.

- I mean, that's a, you know, the last name in itself, I'm already like, I'm already skeptic. I'm like, uh, I got questions about you. - Well, I have one, but I didn't have it with you at the time. - Yeah, you're not allowed around schools, I can tell you that.

It was just kind of like the whole Anthony Weiner guy, do you remember that guy? - Oh, yeah. - Yeah, I'm like-- - The senator, who chose Weiner. - Yeah, it's like, oh, when it comes out about all that alleged whatever, you're like, yeah, that tracks, that makes sense.

- His life name is Weiner. - Yeah. - He almost has to show his Weiner. - Right, so he's almost obligated to be I think he's some kind of weirdo.

Right. Okay, he's released on $10,000 bond. Oh. So a hundred bucks.

Or a thousand bucks, sorry. He said it, not me. That's if you do. I'd already worked it out in my head in case I had to say it.

That's if you go to a bail bondsman. Do you think Mr. Dudowitz has $10,000? I don't know.

Maybe. I saw pictures of him. His mom probably has $10,000. So we're judging people by their parents as far as their wealth?

He looked homeless. I'm surprised he owns a car. Did he look like he came off a Disney ship? No, he did not look like the man they were looking for.

I don't know what man you're talking about. The guy missing from the ship. There's 12 people missing. That's a different story.

Right. He was talking about ice. Oh, I thought he was talking about the Hootie Hootie virus. A lot of cruise news.

Yeah, I'm not going on any cruise ships. Yeah, I wouldn't go on any cruise anytime soon. I'm not going to the woods either, because along with the bears, there's also been seven rattlesnake bites in Colorado already this year. They're all ready this year.

Really? Yes. Maybe they should send Mr. Doodoo what's out there.

- I can't wait to talk to my friends that go on all these cruises, like, did you hear about the rat? - Did you hear about the rat, right? - Yeah. - You know, some of them have rats, you could get the Hootie Hootie virus.

- Oh, did you hear about the Disney one where they arrested all the employees? - As soon as they landed, they started taking employees. - Like have, but no, enjoy your cruise. - Yeah, have a good time.

- Have a good time. - No more lobster on the menu, he's gone. - Yeah, only eat canned food. - Is he going to do a lawsuit for that ship?

- The Hootie Hootie virus? - Yeah. - I don't know what you sign as the disclaimer when you agree to go on the ship. It doesn't matter, there's got to be some type of negligence there.

Yeah, there's definitely lots of lawsuits. Well, we'll see. And if there's an American, John Morgan's in. For the people.

For the people. Alright, in Daytona, one of the country's largest rock music festivals, kicks off again this weekend. Really? I've seen pictures of this, it looks like a madhouse.

Yeah, I hate, I don't like being around people. Not that many people, I don't either. Bringing 160 bands, hundreds of thousands of fans, and potentially record-breaking heat, welcome to Rockville. Boom, boom, boom.

This is the sixth year that they have been there. Okay. Because of the heat, they're putting out extra water stations. It starts at the Speedway and then moves to the beach.

Boots answers his phone when it rings. Hola. Is the volume off now? Is the volume gone?

It's my watch. It's my watch. Yeah, it's just my watch. I understand what's happening.

They have more than 200,000 attendees expected over four days, But as fans pour into the Speedway, organizers and first responders say their focus will be just not much of the crowd as on the performances. Yeah, because people are going to be passing out. People are going to be passing out, putting up more shade places, they're putting up more free water. Tons of heat exhaustion.

Right, that's what you see the pictures of every year, people just passed out on the ground. I wouldn't go there. I mean, it's got to be, talk about Hootie Hootie virus, you could get it there probably. No, there's probably other viruses, but not Hootie Hootie.

I don't know. I'm at an age now where it's like outside concert. Yeah, middle of the day on a weekend. Yeah, probably not.

I don't mind staying in the heat for my kids and sports and stuff. Yeah. But do I really, like, if I'm going to a concert, for one, I want to sit. I don't even want to stay.

Yeah, I'm past the lawn stuff. Yeah, you know, I prefer something indoors. I like House of Blues. House of Blues?

House of Blues over in Disney Springs. Is that where we went? Because it's smaller, it's not a lot of people. Right.

It's a little more intimate. A little more intimate, a little more controlled environment. Universal has a Hard Rock one, which I like. But that's outside.

Oh, yeah, Hard Rock, yeah, yeah. It's inside. Yeah, yeah. I was thinking the outside area.

It's inside. I've got to bring... Yeah, I've been to one there, too. I've got a refi on my house, though, if we want to get a couple drinks and a snack.

Yeah, no kidding. Right. Disney's like that, too. Okay, everybody can have one beer, and we're not eating.

Make sure you pre-game. Pre-game. The bad thing about that Rockville thing Is it's a three day Concert And you can't leave once you come in No way You can't leave and come back Well if you have a one day ticket You can leave but you can't come back in that day It's a one way If you have a day one, day two, day three ticket Yeah but if you have a three day ticket You cannot leave That's how it was last year I know What do you mean a three day ticket So there's three full days Yes. And then you can camp.

Okay. Like a tent? No. Well, maybe.

It's an RV. Oh, it's at Speedway. Like a Woodstock? Yeah, yeah.

They have like the Enfield. Day one, day two, day three ticket, you can leave at any time. Day one, just can't come back in. Right.

But if you have a three-day ticket, you're camping. Yeah. If you have a three-day, you're camping. You can't go out and come back in.

You can't leave at all. No. That sounds ridiculous. I have a question.

How do they know if I have a one, two, or three-day ticket once I go in? Once I go in, are they color-coded or something? I have no idea. Once you go in, you can't come out.

I've never been, I was gonna go last year, but I decided not to when I saw like... But let's say I'm one day, but I got a friend who's a three-day and I stay in his RV, so once I'm in, I'm in, I just don't leave. I paid for the one day. That's a good point.

I mean, are they like, okay, everybody has a blue ticket, find guys with blue tickets, and they're tasing you and dragging you out the door. Right. Just bring an ice. Just bring an ice.

Oh, ice, ice is coming. I don't know, I guess they're trying to control... I mean, it makes really good sense, but you think with 3D you could come and go. Well, maybe the problem with that is afraid you go out and do drugs or something and then come back.

No, no, you get to do drugs there. That's how that works. Yeah, I guess I'm driving an RV and they can't search the RV. Yeah, they don't search.

I mean, they have, I'm sure they have dogs. Yeah, but are they running through my RV real quick? I'll hide it in the roof. No, just outside.

I mean, they could, you know, they can pinpoint outside. Oh, this sounds even worse than I imagined. Dude, guys, come on. It's a concert.

It's a three-day concert. It's a three-day rock concert. Yeah, you think that somebody's regulating the drugs in that place? Probably not.

That's what I mean. Now it sounds even worse. Oh, you don't want them to regulate? Yeah, I mean, I was thinking, you know, you go in, but you're at it.

I mean, it's whatever. I mean, it's Woodstock. It is. Yeah, basically, yeah.

That's what it sounds like. I just don't. Minus the peace and love. People shitting in their tents.

Shitting in their tents. Hey, I mean, they can go wherever they want. Why would you shit in your tent? I brought a special shit tent, so I can always go to the bathroom.

This is where I shit. Right. And then I'm gonna leave that tent. Well, I've got a five-gallon bucket in there with a toilet seat hooked to the top.

" Well, I mean, you've seen the pictures afterwards, there's tents left. And that's where they shit. " Right. The dookie tent.

It's the dookie tent. It's my shit tent. Hmm. Hmm.

Okay. What a terrible event. It should blow up the speedway when it's over. I wonder if we're gonna get any traffic from it.

Yes. We were going to the beach this weekend, I mean, but it's New Smyrna, it should be okay still. This weekend? Well, it's Mother's Day weekend.

Yeah, she wants to go to the beach on Sunday. There'll be a lot of people there. Yeah, but we go early and we park on the beach. We went to go stay at a hotel.

A lot of them were booked. Oh, I bet. So we decided to do a Sunday and a Monday. Oh.

Oh, that's why you won't be here Monday. Correct. All right, you got a video? I do.

Oh, hot dog. Hot? Did you say hot dog? Yeah.

Glizzy time! I was very excited. Glizzy time. Hot dog video?

It's so good. Do you have another one of somebody we know coming out with a cigar and not telling us? Somebody close to us? Right.

Somebody we hang out with all the time that I talked to for 45 minutes on the phone the day before we saw the video? Oh, Brittany sent me a video of the TMZ of people, uh, people arrested. Which people? Oh, the ice people?

Yeah. Oh. Maybe we watch that one too. She just sent it to you?

Yeah. This episode is not even out. Isn't that incredible? No, no, it's funny because we always talk about Disney cruises.

Oh. They're expensive. I know, but I hang out with a bunch of friends that are well off. Very successful individuals.

Hmm. Yeah, we're starting to have those kind of friends, too. It's a little depressing. It's depressing for you?

Oh, you know, I just like good people. It doesn't matter. Oh, yeah. I mean, I like all the people, sure.

I don't like all of them. You know, some have planes, some have boats, you know, some have this and that. That's nice. Yeah.

I would tell Adrian, we just need better friends. Yeah. We never do anything. We don't have travel friends.

The best city in the United States for cigar culture is, I'm going to say, hands down, it's Houston, Texas. It's not just because I live here. It is the honest truth. Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the United States for cigar culture, I'm going to say, hands down, it's Houston, Texas.

It's not just because I live here. It is the honest truth. Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the United States. In the world we have entrepreneurs business energy that diversity in a cigar culture just makes it something special and unique here at Stowa you're going to have all the different types of people but then when we get together we have a cigar we share an amazing liquor we smoke that cigar that group becomes something you're never going to find anywhere else in the world.

I started over the text message that ruined my video. Okay. " Oh, completely different. Yeah.

Wow. Alright, I get the gist of the video. Okay. Unless something happens at the end.

Alright, so, no, no. So, uh, I came across this, I figured it'd be a good topic to discuss. S. for cigar culture is Houston, Texas?

First of all, and this guy seems like he's a good guy, he seems like a nice person. Yeah, he seems very nice. Not attacking this guy, just having a conversation. Right.

Okay? Not any more than any place else. Okay. I mean, anything he listed they have, we have.

Okay. Yeah, he's like, we get to hang out together. Yeah, we can hang out together, we have entrepreneurs, we have energy, we have something else like that, we have all that here? Okay.

Phil? Hi Phil. Welcome back. Sorry, I had a, I guess I had a doctor's appointment, I forgot.

No, you blew it off. You, you know, I appreciate you sacrificing your body for the show. Thanks a lot guys, I'm going to die now. Was it the urologist?

No. It was a colonoscopy. That's why, that's why I didn't go. Okay, so...

Forgot to, he didn't fast. Yeah, no purging. Why are both your hands on my shoulders? S.?

Phil? Houston, Texas? Yeah. For culture?

Cigar culture. Welcome back. Not Houston. Not Houston?

Okay, what city do you think is number one? In the United States for Cigar Culture. Miami, Tampa, one of those. I think Miami.

Okay, I was going to say Miami too. Yeah. I think per whatever square inch or per capita, whatever, there's probably more cigar shops in Miami than in Houston. Well, yeah, but not only that, but you have like a lot of Cuban culture there, a lot of Cuban heritage.

A lot of brands have their headquarters down that way. yeah a lot of cubans yeah where jack and hector live that's where hector lives but not related to the cubans i can't believe you said that after i said the cubans no he works for a cigar company no i know but it just sounded kind of weird i was trying to mention our friends i'm sorry no i know yeah wow i mean they watch every day isn't hector cuban is he hector's cuban yeah oh i didn't know Isn't Jack got Cuban heritage? Jack might be Cuban too. Cubanesque.

So many Cubans. Right. Well, I mean, that's where it all stems from. Like a lot of these guys that have gone to Nicaragua and Dominican Republic and stuff.

Right. A lot of them live in Cuba. Cuban origin. Casey from Crux used to live in Miami?

That guy's... Not Cuban. Yeah. I thought he was white.

He's white, right? Casey? Yeah. Is that important?

I don't know. At this point, who cares? I just don't understand why you're concerned with everybody's race all of a sudden. Yeah, all of a sudden.

Because we've been talking about nothing but illegals and all this weird stuff on today's show, and then we get to this. Illegals and weird stuff. You know, we started off with a wet foot, dry foot, and there we are. So what is the moral of the story here?

So, okay, yeah. Where were you going with that? Well, I mean, I just found it interesting that somebody, you know. Well, he's from Houston.

I'm sure if you asked somebody in St. Louis, they'd go, "Well, of course you guys should come here. We've got such a strong cigar community here in St. Louis.

Really? Are you from Miami? No, what does that make? I asked you what is the number one city for cigar culture.

You didn't say, well, Deltona or Orlando. No, but I think that's why this guy wants everybody to come to Houston because he likes Houston. He's in Houston. Okay.

Yes. I think Houston has a big football culture. I mean, I don't know where the question came from or if he's just talking about Houston because it's Houston. You said the number one city in the United States.

Right, did somebody ask him, or was he just stouting his opinion? I think he's just stouting his opinion. Oh, alright. I didn't know it was a conversation about, like, where should the next PCA be, or?

No, I think he just said number one city for cigar culture. Well, that's just ridiculous. That was kind of my point. Right.

Right? Right, Phil? Let's see what ChatGPT says. ChatGPT's gonna say Miami.

List the top ten cities with the best cigar culture. I don't think Houston would have even popped in. It's not even on top five. No.

Not even top ten. Right. Well, I mean, I would think Austin would probably be bigger than Houston. No, I don't know.

You guys, Roma Craft is there? Yeah. Well, they just have a culture, period. I don't think there's really a culture in Houston.

Austin's a weird, it's very eclectic, it seems, in Austin. Go ahead, Phil, what does it say? Mister, I'm going to type this in. I've got to get off Greg's Wi-Fi because nothing ever shows up.

Okay. Wi-Fi down here was acting up yesterday. Was it? Yeah.

I'm still waiting on you. Searching, searching. Wow. If you're talking pure cigar culture, history, factories, lounges, street life, and walk outside and smell tobacco in the air energy, the crown usually goes to?

Miami. Ybor City. Okay. Ybor City.

It's literally nicknamed Cigar City. Okay. And historically it was called the cigar capital of the world in the early 1900s. More than 200 factories there were there rolling over a million cigars a day.

Okay. See, now back in the, what, 1900s? Is that what you said? Yeah, yeah.

Maybe that would have been the ideal place, but... Not anymore. Have you been to Ybor lately? That's not like it used to be.

No. I mean, at night it's very rough gangs and... Ooh, really? A lot of, not that these are bad, but a lot of gay bars are up at one end of the thing and, I mean...

Cross-dressers and stuff you see walking around. You're just saying it's not cigar-based. Yeah, it's not, I mean, towards the middle there's maybe a handful still of the cigar places, but I don't think they're open at night because the crowds are so rough. It's kind of faded out.

Yeah. Do you go in there with like a knife fight, like jets versus whatever the... I don't know, I went in there at night. I was there.

I've been to the... He's dancing over there. He's doing a knife fight. All I see are the feathers.

Fluttering around like he's a parrot. I was there for whatever that event That they still have there Gone with the Wind? The Pirate one? No, I'd never go there The Big Crowds again The Cigar one that's right there The Heritage Festival The Sound of Color Yeah, I think it's Miami But it didn't say Houston But it said something Florida based So who was that guy?

It was from Stoic Cigars Is that a brand or a shop? I don't know I just came across it And I'm like, oh, that's interesting. Popped up on your feed somehow? I went looking this time.

Because, listen, my feed is a lot of coaching stuff and people getting into fights. Wow, naturally. Two favorite things. Yeah, I do enjoy both of those things.

I'm like, oh, oh, oh, yeah. Or like the last one I saw, and I'm like, oh my god, I can't use this. But this guy walks up and he starts pummeling this woman. Wow.

And then another guy interjects and starts beating the crap out of this guy, and the guy runs away. And it's like, so you can T off on a woman, but the minute that, like, what's happening here? Yeah. Sounds like a weird dream.

The guy was a tool. Or, I saw a really funny one, which is hilarious. There was like this large monkey, but it was like a skinnier large monkey, right? and he was running into a crowd of kids that were playing soccer or something and he was just running up and jumping on them and knocking them down.

And like it says, the saddest part about this clip is that it ends because it was hilarious. And he's just going around, boom, just knocking kids over left and right. It's pretty funny. What country was that in?

I have no idea, but it was not the United States of America. I saw a similar one, but it was a guy in a daycare and they all had like these little big bouncy balls You know what the kids like to jump on? Yeah. And he took one and he's like how I feel at the end of the day watching all your kids and he started throwing the ball at the kids.

Oh, man. See, that's different. I'm sorry. An adult attacking a kid is totally like an animal like innocently just kind of doing dumb stuff where the kids are going to be fine.

I have, you know. Yeah. If he bites off that guy's face, just not the kids. Yeah, exactly.

Got to protect the children. at all costs right have we figured out that guy's alive the the grizzly guy yeah no follow-up he's fine uh there was no follow-up to that story today he lived there was two of them oh the guy with no face yeah but he's got no face he's got bit in the face he doesn't have no face oh now he can recreate his identity gone he doesn't have no face okay you seen it they call him dark man though face is all wrapped up in dark man bandages he wears an overcoat and a hat you're You talking about like that old Dick Tracy villain? He feels low pain, so that's his superpower. Oh, really?

Incredible. Oh, he bit him in the head. He hit the pain sensor with the big tooth. It's like mild spicy today, but I like the direction we're heading in, just for the record.

All right, now we're in cigar news. Unless I need to tell a story about a video I saw, too. Is that what we're doing at this point of the show now? We don't want to hear about the video.

Do you have a story about a video? I have a story that involves children and monkeys. Oh, go ahead. Yeah, sure.

Why not? Have you seen the one where they go to the zoo and they do the magic trick in front of the monkey that's on the back side of the other side of the glass? They make something like, you know, they put it in their hand and then the monkey goes, oh, you just can't imagine how it happened. Right.

Those are funny tips. Oh, that wasn't good. Well, sorry, I don't even remember what his story was. All right, let's move on.

He's abusing children. You're abusing children. I'm just doing a nice funny story about a monkey. Listen, Palmer, we liked your video.

Stop getting angry. Let's move on. All right, apparently they're making another cigar, Roma Craft, the Cro-Magnum Visigoth, targeted for late 2026, Roma Craft Tobacca has announced what it is describing as its final Cro-Magnum brand, Visigoth tobacco-wise, at least it's a name we can all say, the Cro-Mag Visigoth uses a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra seed wrapper over an Indonesian Basuki binder and Cro-Ho and Criolo fillers from the Hamistran Valley in Honduras. As well as the tobacco from Bandega and Nicaragua.

A lot of different tobacco in this thing. Sounds pretty good. It is the same blend as the Craft Marquette Foreign & Domestic and Riverside 15th Anniversary. So the Foreign & Domestic and the Riverside Anniversary is the same blended cigar?

I guess so, maybe just a different size? Yeah, different. Oh, I wasn't aware of that. It will be offered in at least seven Vitolas: the Cro-Mag Visigoth Urk, the Cro-Mag Visigoth Walla, the Visigoth Labrum.

Not Lebron, Lebrum. Lebrum. The Cro-Mag Visigoth Fodorati, the Visigoth Guzar, and the Visigoth, oh there's not over yet, Porta Salera Alariks, A-L-A-R-I-K-S, they seem to be the only one. The brand revolves around the Visigoth people, also known as Goths, who emerged late something.

The names of the cigars are referenced to them, and then there was a long thing that he obviously got from Claude that described the Visigoth, and so it, it's... Do you think he micro doses when he picks these names? I don't, I don't, I think now he's just asking Claude. Now he's just asking Claude?

It was an amazing description followed by, from Claude, and it's too long for our format, so we're not going to talk about that. This is considered to be the fourth Cro-Magnum brand following the Apotamus release of the Aquitaine and the Baca. Apotamus. Apotamus?

Mm, that's what it said. Another big word that Claude gave, Skip. Claude was down yesterday. Was it?

Yep. It's back up now. Oh, I didn't even notice. I hate when they do the down stories the day after when it's already back, and at that point it's too late.

Everybody already knows. Okay. Frankfurt will become the center for the international cigar world. This May as Drew Estate and GRE Trade present the Black Experience Frankfurt, oh, I'm sorry, Blackened Experience, Black Experience, in Frankfurt, Germany.

Not the black experience, the blackened experience. Right. Completely different thing. It's a totally different thing.

Totally different thing. m. to midnight at the Ocean Club at Gateway Gardens in Frankfurt, Germany. We should go.

Yeah, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. We'll do a pro-sabor.

It's not there. No? There's a pro-sabor story today, but I purposely did not get it. Why not?

Because they're giving out a scholarship to somebody, and I can't pronounce the name of the scholarship or the name of the person who got it. That's what makes it awesome. Yeah, not for me, though. All right, can you do it tomorrow?

Is it tomorrow? No, it's been old by then. Please. No, I don't remember where it was because it's not carried by Half Wheel.

Oh. Charlie, can we get back to the regular stories? Yeah. Another review today in Skip's Funny Names Cigars.

Our show's dependent on it. Yes, our show depends on your news. So, let's see. There's gonna be 250 guests from across the premium cigar and lifestyle industries.

Probably a lot of people from Houston will go. As expected to attend, including consumers, retailers, media representative, and international guests from Houston. That's right there. Earlier that day a separate pre-event for registered cigar retailers will be offering network opportunities and direct exchange with the Drew Estate team.

The CEO, who we never know who he is, that guy, he'll be there. Oh yeah? Wolfenstein or whatever? Wolfenstein?

Yeah, Wolfenstein. Wasn't that a... Wolfen-son, sorry. Wasn't that a first-person shooter game called Wolfenstein or something?

" Really? Turn left. Yeah, and eventually when you guys got to be aged it was a video. Castle Wolfenstein.

Yes. Wow. See how we had to suffer? Those were the video games we had when I was younger.

Thank you for your suffering. Right. Turn right, you see a tree. Life is suffering.

Turn left, you see another tree. Life is suffering. Well, I thought you guys just played like stone and stick ball. Stick ball, there's no stone ball.

That's ridiculous. So you guys didn't use a stone? Yeah, stones hurt. You and Jesus?

No, we'd use an I lived in Florida when I was that age. What was the meteor like when it hit? It was terrible. Everything was so loud.

Yeah? Yeah. How did you survive? A cave.

Yeah? My pet dinosaur. Did you eat it eventually? He blocked the entrance of the cave, so I was fine.

What type of dinosaur? A pterodactyl. Oh, that's a pterodactyl? The flying one.

That's how you get around better. Okay. That makes sense. Not an alligator that's still here.

You having a problem kicking it today? Yeah, it's in the wrong spot. Did you see the Wolverine movie where he dropped in the hole with the Japanese guy when the atomic bomb? No.

You didn't see that one? That's what it was like except instead of Wolverine holding the door it was my pterodactyl. Oh, I had to have seen it. Is the ring light in the way of the camera now that I moved it?

No. Who else do you think from Drew's State goes to- Atomic bomb with Wolverine. What? Atomic bomb with Wolverine.

Wolverine was in the war. He was a prisoner in Japan. Oh, yeah. We dropped the bombs on Japan, he was being held in a hole in the ground, and he saved that one guy, and then that guy tries to take his power when he's older.

Right. That's what it was like. Not the taking my power, but the part in the game. Oh, okay, got it.

Who else you think is going to this thing, along with Wolfensohn? Who else do I think is going to this thing? Yeah. Perdomo, Padrón, Puente.

No, it's just a Drew Estate thing. Oh, it's just a Drew Estate thing. Just a Drew Estate thing. Oh.

Do you think Mr. Sanz is going to do that? No, no. He's not going?

No. How about Pedro, do you think Pedro will go? Yeah, they'll send Pedro. Did you see Pedro at the BCA?

No. He was there. Shook my hand. I see what you guys are doing with your cigars.

I'm very impressed. Congratulations. I love Pedro. He makes you feel good as a person.

He does. He does. " Well, that's his job. Okay.

I don't care. I don't care. And? No, I'm just saying.

It's working. Yeah. All I'm saying is it's working. He's good at his job.

Yeah. All right, anyway, they made this event with the frontman of Metallica, James Hetfield, Jonathan Drew, Drew Estate, and whiskey expert, Rob Dietrich. Maybe he will, maybe. They're calling him Jonathan Drew, why didn't they call him Jonathan Saund?

Because they don't, he doesn't identify as Jonathan Saund inside of Drew's date. Really? It's like a, it's like a, uh... Character?

It's like his, uh... Yeah, what is it, like, he's like Batman? Nando, whatever they call it. It's like Batman.

Yeah, like Batman. That's his, that's his character. It's so weird, you know, you, "Hello, Mr. " No, no, here it's Drew.

Yeah, you, JD. Yeah, when we get outside, then you can call me Mr. Saunds. I feel his, I feel his hurt on that.

Guests can expect a deliberately unconventional event, atmosphere featuring live entertainment, curated tastings, finger foods, welcome drinks, and interactive experience stations. Wow. Hi. Show, over here.

Hi. How you doing? Show? I'm busy harassing my friends that go on Disney cruises with the intel.

It's not good. It's not even work. I'm getting orders and phone calls over here. Yeah, no, it's not work for me.

I'm just over here having a great day. The Black End Experience Frankfurt 2026 Drew Estate and GRE Trade aim to bring a new level of energy and lifestyle-driven presentation to the German premium cigar market while redefining what a modern cigar event can be. Ooh. Lovely.

Two Guys Cigar in collaboration with Single Cast Nation And Agronorce Leaf Cigars announces their 4th Single Cast Nation Cigar Collaboration with Agronorce Leaf. Oh, they just... Collaboration project, the 5 1/2 by 50, features a Corojo 99 wrapper and Criojo... Criojo 99 and Criolo 98 binder.

It goes on sale May 15th. The project is always one of the most challenging to execute, said Terence Reilly, Agronorce Leaf's VP of Sales and Marketing, said in a press release. Terrence Reilly? Terrence Reilly.

I don't have a voice for him. I really don't know what to do. What does a giraffe sound like? I felt like you missed an opportunity of some kind of one-liner there.

Oh, with Terrence Reilly? Yeah. I didn't read this to the end. I needed one more story.

I didn't realize he was in it. I would've had something. Baby giraffe. Right, something about a baby giraffe or something.

Right. Alright, it's time for the industry's favorite game. What's the score? I just want everybody to know, we're at 55 minutes.

" I'm getting pretty good at setting these up to be exactly more. That's like you know what you're doing. Apparently. Five days a week, you're locked in.

Five days a week. You know, when we do that two days, two shows in a day, it's gonna be hard to do, there's really not enough news to do two shows at the same time. When we do what? But we figure it out.

We did something we talked about at the production meeting that you don't go to. Yeah. What are we doing? Don't worry about it, it doesn't concern you.

We managed to figure it out though. Well, I figured it out. But yeah. We're doing two shows of that.

Don't worry, you'll get the memo. November 29, 2022, Brooks Whittington Cigars, it's a Costa Rican cigar because we're going with Costa Rican themes because Mike Rosales is making a cigar in Costa Rica. Right. Apparently.

We heard about that. Selected Tobacco, Alfonso Extra and Nejo number three. Okay. Anybody ever even really even heard of this cigar?

Yeah. Okay. An Alfonso? Alfonso.

Yeah. You want me to go first? Yeah, you go first. Ninety.

Yeah, I was thinking like eighty-nine. Alfonso Extra Anejo, number three, from Costa Rica, Factory Tabaco de Costa Rica. The wrapper is a Connecticut, Ecuadorian, Connecticut wrapper, Ecuadorian, Connecticut binder, filler, Nicaraguan, and Paru. 75.

They smoked three cigars. Oh, it's a regular production cigar. 90. It's Peruvian 89.

It's from Perú. Oh, Greg will be going soon to go up Machu Picchu. Oh, shocker. Nice to be rich.

Isn't it? He's not even a rich friend because he never takes us anywhere. No, no, no. It's my money.

Yeah, it's his money. He doesn't like to share. No. We can come over and have dinner.

No, no, we're busy. I didn't say what day. It doesn't matter where it's over. Did you say over there Feathertop?

Yeah, 89. And what did you say? This is the second time. 90.

Okay. Excellent construction across all three cigars with ideal draw, resistance, thick smoke, and burn lines that finish close to razor sharp. Ninety. Ninety-one.

The flavor progression was strong and interesting, moving from caramel sweetness to cedar to lemongrass, then finishing with rich peanut butter, cocoa, graham cracker, and cedar. Ugh, lemon. Ninety. Ninety-one.

Third clue. The body and strength lagged behind the flavor most of the way, so smokers looking for a fuller, more powerful experience may find it lighter than expected. Ninety. Ninety-one.

Final thought. Let's get one thing out of the way quickly. Do it. Just under $40 each.

75 for a box of $25. The Alfonso Extra Anejo No. 3 is an expensive cigar. With that said, it's also an extremely rich, well-balanced, and complex cigar full of flavors of aromatic cedar, lemongrass, peanut butter, not to mention a wonderful combination of white pepper and creme brulee sweetness on the Retro Hill.

In fact, just about the only thing the cigar does not have is any major amount of body or strength, so those looking for a punch to the gut need not apply. In the end, the combination of complexity, excellent construction, balance, and richness make the Alfonso Extra Anaheo No. 3 one of the best cigars I have smoked this year, and I'm already looking forward to enjoying more of them. Wow.

I'm going to take a shot here and I'm going to go 92. 93. How are you getting these right on the money? Oh!

I moved in closer together today. In the... They're too far. Covered in this stuff.

He was on his phone. Yes. Did you look at the seat like a student scream? I'm going to sit down in your chair as soon as you get up.

Okay. That's fine. He was on his phone talking to his Disney friends, remember? Yeah, but I haven't said the name of the cigar yet.

He might be able to see the iPad. Nope. No, he's probably Brittany. Brittany probably helps him.

I'm just that good. How does Brittany know? He probably has her on speakerphone on mute. I don't tell her on the morning Zoom calls what cigar, by the way, you know what cigar we're doing today?

He probably got her on speakerphone and she texts him. " I am honored. Yeah. I love the fact that you guys think that I cheat.

No, it's just a good storyline for the show. I love it. All right, I got phone calls to answer, and I've got an order to punch in, so let's wrap this thing up. Okay, hey, like and subscribe wherever you're viewing or listening to the show.

Thank you so much for your time. We hope you value the edutainment that we are providing. All right, guys, thanks. All right, bye.

Boop.
