Welcome to a Cigar House for

I'm Mike Palmer, your host and

This it does it's.
Just read my intro.
Back from his new movie Dead
Inside Me, we have Phil Mcguffey

Hello peoples.
And then Mikey was busy doing
something.
We don't really care but back to
my popular demand and mostly
cause his mom yelled at me to
have a mom more often.
Triple G is with us again today.
Phil is just over there, not
pushing buttons like I do.
I'd like to confirm that we're
definitely recording at this
point.
No, we're, we're recording.
Whether we are?
Or not.
Yeah, no, your mom told me to
send the recorder after I'm done
to.
Mom, I don't understand.
I don't know.
'Cause you said she was still
here.
Is she still here?
Is she still here?
Is she here tomorrow?

We.
Drive Mama to the train.

Oh, it's a train station.
Oh, she's over driving.
Yeah, she's going to go up on a
train.
Yeah, yeah.
On today's show, come on in,
Ricky, it's fine.
On today's show, Nike's going to
pay big.
Eggs are good for your mind in
Winter Park, FL at a local
coffee shop.
You may be on Candid Camera and
then in Florida.
Anybody want to do a super Gator
hunt?
We have details on how to get
that.
Greg would like that.
You would like that because
you're very outdoorsy.
I like to kill shit.
And he's outdoorsy.
And in cigars, California just
got cheaper.
Oscar Valadares is saying, oh,
la, la, all to this is back in
the Dominican and Honduran cigar
business.
And then we have a double.
What's the score?
Double.
What's the score?
Double.
I was seeing if that noise went
off again.
Finish it.
But first, who wants to tell us
about how to get some chapter
pod swag?
So what you got to do is you got
to go to chapterpod.com.
You buy one shirt, you get the
2nd 140% off.
And this week only, there's no

As Palmer would not like to give

Shipping week here.
Ch Bud Swag.
Gotta make money somehow.
Yeah, so go on there.
Buy a shirt, buy a hat, don't
buy a a beanie because we don't
have those.
Beanies is ever taken.
Though can't get a knife because
can't get those either.
Whatever you like.
King has his.
Oh, I think they're supposed to
send me one.
Well, mine came from 14 knives.
Oh nice. 1.
Better one Better than the 13
guys.
Apparently that's their slogan.
1 better than 13.
I have to message those guys.
Maybe you could try for 12
knives and maybe that's a little
less expensive for you.
Oh.
OK, I'll try it out.
I'll get the link from you.
OK, well the link is what was
for 14.
Yeah, just substitute the 442.
Oh, OK.
Yeah, OK, Palmer, you're up.
Oh, sorry.
Comments I was listed to a thing
you.
Oh, comments again?
Complete shit show.
It always is I.
Gotta get my glasses, the print
is so small and I set them in
the ashes over here.
At least the nice thing is we're
not getting yelled at right now.
Yeah, that's nice.
Huh.
Oh yeah, he has.
He has to do a lot of editing
when he has to cut all that out.
All right, from Epicurean smokes
on yesterday's Today's.
I'm not sure, but the previous
show's episode pretty quick in
the draw with Denise Richards
there.
Mr. Palmer.
Well, my wife watches that show
on TV.
Denise Richards.
All right, CW6383, the fact that
they made three diet anything
cigars is beyond unfathomable.
Nice.
Dada catch 2004.
I love it when Triple G is on
the show.
Very popular.
Ruckus Unchained.
We need more Triple G 02.
Is that the mom handle?
Yeah, that's his mom.
Those are both his.
Mother.
'S mother, let's see and then
from Ben Rowland on two shows
back, we're just going to glaze
over the fact Phil's no docking
comment at 939.
There was another time thing for
Phil, but I think we already you
mentioned that one.
Yep, that's it, I guess.
All right, if you like your
comment right on the air comment
on one of the shows.
We don't do the comments on the
shorts, just the main shows.
But thank you for coming in on
notes too.
Yes, more fill comments.
Usually the ones on the shorts
are not nice.
Little more insulting about us
being idiots and stuff.
Well, we already know that we're
idiots, but.
Hey, just keep listening.
We don't care what you call us.
All right, moving on.
We're still recording perfect.
Now we're still recording.
We made it past the point of no
return now, all right?
Nike was hit with a proposed
class action lawsuit in federal
court in Portland, OR.
Mr. Knight.
Are those Nike boots?
No, I don't wear Nike boots.
The claim is that Nike raised
prices to cover tariff cost,
then may also receive tariff
refunds from the government
after Supreme Court ruling
created a double recovery.
Reuters says Nike allegedly paid
out 1 billion in tariffs and
raised some shoe prices 5 to $10
in apparel 2 to $10 to cover the
tariffs.
Yeah, but I mean, So what?
How can you force them to give
that back?
I don't understand.
Well, Mike is not committed to
refunding consumers.
And it declined comment to Fox
Business.
Similar lawsuits have also been
filed against companies like
Costco and FedEx.
I don't know.
It's big class action suit.
There obviously is no winner yet
because they're still doing it.
But yeah, they raised the prices
and then got all the money back
and then didn't lower the price.
Yeah, but they have the right to
determine whatever their prices.
Are you would think they can
make the price?
Whatever.
Yeah, I don't know if this goes
anywhere.
Apparently Costco and FedEx are
being sued too, so it's not like
it's the only one and it's class
action.
So I guess you would just have
to have a receipt that you
bought something between a
certain time.
Is it like the phone thing that
we discussed last time?
Everybody's going to get a check
for 25 bucks.
That's the way it'll work out,
right?
Not maybe 25, could be less.
Or Costco Costco's on the down.
South did I was supposed to ask
you if we paid the current
tariffs on our next order?
So we will be paying the current
tariffs on the next order,
absolutely, apparently.
How much tariff?
From Nicaragua, it's 10% right
now.
There are only three or four, I
can't recall the exact number of
pending lawsuit that was found
that they could uphold the fact
that the the percentage was not
legal.
But there's going to be an
opportunity for it to be
appealed and it's still going to
go back and forth.
Nothing is set in stone yet.
So we still pay.
So 10's what it's at.
This isn't the additional 10 he
was talking about.
Oh no, he said.
If they take the 10 away, he's
going to do a secret nobody
knows law and add 10 more or add
the 10 back.
Right, but that.
But that's not the current
state.
No, currently it's the 10 is
there, Yeah.
So are we raising prices 10%?
We haven't raised prices.
That's right, We're not raising
prices.
That that way if if we ever do
get a check back we just keep
it.
We split it three ways.
I don't.
That's not how it's gonna work.
Palmer, have you not learned in
how many years we've been here?
There's no money to us.
We get no money.
Well, that's technically not
part of the show though.
Oh well, yeah, maybe you're
right.
I don't know how the other side
works.
But still, it's not very
different.
Trust me, it's not not really
different, just slightly, a
little different.
Slightly more work.
Yeah, yeah, More work.
It's just, I don't know, this
thing went to five days a week.
I.
Couldn't give you more.
If you count the editing I have
to do on the weekends.
Yeah, thank God we're not doing
it on Sundays, huh?
Right.
Don't say that out loud.
Well, that's usually when I edit
the Friday shows on Sunday
because Saturday.
Now I set up the Saturday show,
which was my own fault, but
still.
Yeah, you did request that one.
That one doesn't take long to
do, and that one's kind of fun.
Yeah.
All right.
Next story.
Eggs.
A new study has revealed the
linked.
See, I meant to buy eggs.
I was going to eat hard boiled
eggs as I started reading this.
Story.
Oh, that would have been nice,
just shoveling.
Just shoveling them in and then
when they cut to you, you're
shoveling eggs and then they cut
to him.
He's got egg all over his face.
Would have been so creative it.
Would have been funny but now I
forgot to get the eggs so
apparently I need to eat the
eggs and then redo the story
about the eggs.
No, but just start over again.
I'll go to Publix.
Let's just catch up.
What?
Came first the story or the
eggs, right?
New studies reveal the link
between egg consumption and
reduced risk of Alzheimer's
disease.
Oh.
So now you get what the joke
would have.
Been it would have been great
for you, Palmer.
Shoveling egg, right?
Exactly the research from
California Loma Linda
University.
Anybody ever heard of Loma
Linda?
University never heard.
Of it, I'm sure it's like one of
those auto loan places.
Are there teams any good that
play basketball or football or
something doesn't?
Sound like it?
But you probably bet on them.
Probably not.
Publisher the Journal of
Nutrition aimed to analyze the
relationship between the
neurological condition and
dietary habits of people that
eat eggs.
Do you eat a lot of eggs, Greg?
Well, it's.
Just like having your brother
on.
I'm doing the show, you're over
there texting away.
I.
Eat eggs.
I don't eat a lot of eggs.
Is that your wife?
It is my wife.
Do you eat 1 egg a day?
No, I don't eat 1 egg a day.
I probably eat like 3 or 4 eggs
total for the week.
And you have chickens?
Yeah.
The great thing about chickens
is they they make eggs you make.
You have free eggs?
Well.
Yeah, not, not free egg, no.
Not exactly it's.
Not even close to free.
Yeah, I used to have to.
Yeah, the the calculated cost
per egg is about three to four
times the actual cost of buying
them in Publix.
Is it really?
Well, yeah, it's not cheap.
You got the big fucking cage.
And yeah.
OK.
The the cage GRI on the cage is
probably already run through.
OK.
And then that cage breaks.
It's time for a new cage.
What did you break?
Did you not build it correctly?
No the.
Elements could destroy it.
You have to what?
Happens at your house.
For God's, there's a lot of
violence.
A lot of storms a.
Lot of violence at the house,
yeah.
Are there animals that try to
get into each SO?
We've lost like maybe 4 or 5
chickens over the years that
have been killed by raccoons.
Mostly raccoons.
Are terrible.
They're so then.
You got to buy more chickens.
Right, and the few that are left
are PTSD from seeing their
friends killed by the raccoons.
Yeah, did.
I ever tell you about the
original chicken math?
The original chicken math was I
approved 2 chickens for the wife
to buy.
She ordered 3 and she showed up
with four.
So that's chicken math.
Chicken Math.
Did the did the raccoons get
into the coop or did they kill
the chickens through the coop?
They.
Pull the chicken piece by piece
out the cage.
Oh.
So that's what happened to
Mark's mark.
What's his mark?
Gordon yes, thank.
You mark Gordon's house?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Except he raised his chicken
coop up, thinking he could keep
it away from the raccoons.
They went underneath and started
with the feet and Oh yeah,
they're.
Vicious little animals.
Oh, he showed.
Me a video, it's terrible.
It's very.
Bad.
It's terrible.
Raccoons are terrible.
He's being.
Ripped apart by a yeah raccoon
for no.
Reason another than we're just
going to kill it.
We're just going to kill it.
That's.
Fine.
Well, and then they eat it, no?
Sometimes they do, sometimes
they don't.
Sometimes.
They just kill it and leave it.
Yeah.
Well, it should have been saying
shit the other day then, you
know.
What did he say?
Was that English?
I don't.
Know what he said?
Should've been saying shit the
other day I'm.
Not sure whatever.
Did you just have a stroke over
there at Princess?
Shouldn't.
Have been saying shit the other
day in Shanghai, you know what I
mean?
Wow, what I.
I'm not sure what that means
either.
He's literally had a stroke
while on the show.
We're going to be rich now, you
know.
What?
Give me some eggs.
The study noted that eggs are
known to be a source of key
nutrients that support brain
health, which leads to the
investigation.
The researchers analyzed data
from nearly 40,000 US adults
over 65 years.
Oh, I thought over for over 65,
but they're 65 years old.
From a large study linked to
Medicare records to identify
Alzheimer's diagnosis.
After 15 years, 2858 people had
developed Alzheimer's.
What a terrible number.
The participants diet and
lifestyle were assessed via
questionnaire.
I think this is just assumed
information.
They can't really.
I mean, if they how?
Do you know if the person has
Alzheimer's?
How many eggs did you eat
yesterday?
And their bubble gum is their
answer.
Bubble.
Gum.
Yeah, sounds like they had a lot
of brain power there.
So the scales anywhere from
never ate eggs before to eat
five times per week.
Egg intake was divided into two
types, visible eggs like boiled,
scrambled and fried, and hidden
eggs, which are used in
ingredients of foods like baked
goods.
Oh, I didn't think about that.
As long as you're consuming egg
in any form at all now.
I'm eating more eggs every week,
right?
I mean, I just ate some bread,
so right?
There's, there's egg, yeah.
Look at that, people that ate
eggs one to 23123 times per
month or once a week at a 70%
lower risk of Alzheimer's.
One to three times a month.
That's it.
One to three.
Times per month.
Yeah, I know.
If it's not, that's what I'm
saying.
It doesn't seem like it seems.
Like you can just get that
amount of egg from bread right?
Yeah, right.
So.
Therefore, nobody gets
Alzheimer's.
You would think right?
There's a lot of people that
don't eat bread though.
OK, do you eat pasta?
And there's extra.
Pasta no like gluten people like
they don't eat that type of well
they.
Eat well, they still has egg.
Gluten's not egg.
Most no, Most like breads or
pastas and stuff like that have
gluten.
Right, but gluten is not an egg
product, no.
I understand what you're saying,
but I'm saying if they.
Eat gluten free eggs or gluten
free bread.
They're still getting eggs.
That's a.
Thing of the that's now though,
they didn't have that back in
the day when they were doing
this test.
You think they just started this
test what, last week, right?
Just last week, no.
It had to be started a long time
ago.
It's a brand new.
Study, it says right here, this
is brand new.
What?
The fuck did he just say?
Not sure what's going on with
him.
Is that mask too tight?
Good enough?
The blood that you're talking
about.
This mask is not going to work
just by the way well.
We have 7 more of or.
We have 8 more of if all.
The eye things are like this.
It's not going to work.
Well, they are different shaped
faces, so I imagine the eye
holes are different.
And he did a terrible job
cutting.
Yeah, this.
Is dude, my eyes feel like
they're being squished.
This is.
Beautiful I.
Think this got your head so big
we might need bigger straps?
No, it's the, it's the mask.
Like I can feel it.
It's like on my eye because.
Yeah, when I put it on it, it
pokes into the outside edges.
Yeah.
So he did a terrible job.
Try not.
To blink, it's.
Children sizes, is that?
Oh.
Yeah, it's kid sizes.
It's.
Yeah, it's a children mask, but
your.
Brother made him pointy in the
corners with his scissor cutting
to try.
To fit more eye instead.
Of round I mean I would have cut
a rounder side, not make him
Asian Princess Peach he.
Obviously wasn't making crafts
for your mom back in the day.
He didn't make anything for his
mother back in the day, all
right.
Investigations evolving in a
popular Winter Park coffee shop
is now led to an arrest after
police say customers were
secretly recording inside a
restroom.
Customers, customers.
Said they were being secretly
recorded inside a restroom.
Over.
Multiple days.
According to an arrest
affidavit, hidden cameras were
discovered inside the restroom
used by Barney's Coffee and Tea
customers on Park Ave. on March
22nd, March 25th and again on
April 28th.
What are the?
Justification for the placement
of the cameras.
Do we know yet?
There is no.
Justification of placement
inside a bathroom.
The guy did.
Not not like there are rational.
Reasons why you would have to do
this?
Put in by Barneys.
Some dude did it right.
Like an.
Employee.
No, they.
Arrested 27 year old Nicholas
Sebastian on charges of digital
voyeurism.
Such weird.
Laws nowadays that's not a.
That's not a weird law, Digital.
Voyeurism.
Yeah.
I mean, why could they?
I mean, there's got to be
something else.
But.
You're taking.
Videos I understand.
But it there's, it had to be
called something before digital
voyeurism, yeah.
Voyeurism before things were
digital?
I don't think so.
And.
Weird material for you to go
peeping, Tommy.
Peeping.
Tommy.
Peeping Tommy.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the title of the
individual, what they're doing
police.
Say surveillance video showed
Sebastian placing hidden cameras
inside the restroom.
According to the report.
One of his law professors at
Barry University later
identified him from surveillance
images.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
So the police put cameras in the
bathroom to catch the guy
placing the cameras in the
bathroom.
That's that's.
That's the way you just read it
maybe.
There's cameras outside the
bathroom and they see him going
in, maybe with a camera in his
hand, comes back out with no
camera in his hand.
And then they put out pictures
of do you know this guy and his
law professor ratted him out.
Investigators say 1 memory card
contained video of 18 people
inside the restroom.
I assume a different time at
1:00.
Time, yeah, I assume.
Different times, including men,
women and children.
Oh, the.
Children, now you're in deep,
deep.
Now he's.
Yeah, very, very bad.
Very bad.
Now it'll be.
Something like videotaping of a
minor under the age of for
sexual reasons could be.
Production of child pornography?
Yeah, they can get in.
For that too, yeah, production.
Of Diddy child porn or allegedly
is his brain.
Broken today you can't talk.
That wasn't even a complete
sentence, that mask.
Is so.
I had something in my head and I
was going to say it and then I
was trying to walk it back away
it.
Just would poop out the air.
Oh my.
God, news of the arrest is
alarming some regular customers
at the popular Winter Park
coffee shop.
Another customer told News 6 she
believed businesses should take
more responsibility for
preventing hidden cameras inside
restrooms.
What does?
That mean?
See, I wanted to talk to you
about this as a business owner,
yeah.
Do you feel it is your
responsibility to make sure
nobody puts a camera so like?
Every day I should go in there
and what?
Scan the bathrooms for recording
devices?
Get one of those little wand
devices that the CIA use.
I mean, right?
What are we talking about here?
Apparently it's your.
Responsibility.
No.
That woman.
Should just stay home and buy a
helmet you know?
What?
You'd probably be scared to do
it now because who knows what
goes on with that back down.
No, I'm not pulling it down.
Are you on?
Camera no.
All right.
I'm just putting it on you guys
now.
That should fall on the business
owner, she said.
You're running an establishment,
you have bathrooms.
You need to do your due
diligence due.
Diligence and apparently, you.
Need to go in there every 10
minutes right?
Yeah.
Oh, there's another good
question.
Like how often do we have to?
Scan right?
Is it after?
Every person that goes in and
out right then you should tell.
Keanu, that is his job.
Now and.
You should literally give him a
stick and say it's a wand but
not have.
It to be an actual wand.
Tell him he has to go in there.
With everyone who.
Goes to the bathroom to make
sure they don't install a
camera.
That kid.
Gets so tortured, man.
So I I told my wife a story
about something that I did to
him years ago.
Did you hear about this?
This is this is funny.
So he plugs in the alarm
upstairs, but he doesn't do it
fast enough.
And for whatever reason, the
alarm goes off, right.
Yeah.
Palmer.
So he.
Calls me it.
It's a great story.
He calls me.
He's like, look, the alarm went
off.
I I don't know what to do.
I'm like, well, how long was the
alarm going off?
Was it more than three seconds?
And he says, yeah, it was
definitely more than three
seconds.
So all right, I just need you to
remain calm.
They're coming.
There's going to be about 7 to
12 squad cars that are going to
be there because they think
you're being robbed.
I need you to walk outside.
Keep me on speakerphone.
Go outside.
OK, Turn and face the building.
OK, Put your hands on your head.
OK?
Now get down on your knees.
And I finally let him in on the
fact that, All right, they're
not coming.
Just go to work dude.
Yeah, I remember that we were
passing that video around each
other.
Yeah, I was going to.
Say, and he has video of it.
Yeah, of course I have.
Video of.
IT News News 6 contacted
Barney's management for comment.
They said the lady was crazy,
too.
They're not doing that yet.
Good.
They said thank you for the
inquiry.
We will let the law enforcement
provide any comments.
Yeah, is it Barney's?
What a place for that to happen
at now.
One of the.
Comments said it wasn't
exclusively Barney's bathroom.
It was in like a hotel lobby.
And there are, there's a coffee
shop which is Barney's.
There's a place that sells.
Oh, that sucks.
Because Barney's getting bad
publicity.
Yeah, Barney's is.
Getting the blame for it.
It must be closest to Barney's.
Oh, that's not right.
So it's not.
That'd be like you having to
check the smoke shop next door
back, right?
Yeah.
That's not right.
Or you should.
Start doing that too.
No, I'm not.
Doing that, no, they probably.
Definitely have one tell Karen.
To buy a helmet and stay home.
All right, it's skater season in
the state of Florida.
Applications are now open
statewide.
According to Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission, applications are now
being accepted for both the
statewide Alligator Harvest
Program and the Alligator Super
Hunt Program.
Alligator harvest.
I like how they they they make
it sound nice.
Yeah.
Murder the Gators is what it
should be called.
Hunters have.
Until May 18th to submit one for
phase one application for the
statewide Alligator Harvest
program.
Those selected through a random
drawing will be allowed to hunt
in one alligator management unit
or county.
Do you know how to kill the
alligators?
Yeah, bang.
Stick, bang, stick, right.
Phil, do you know what a bang
stick is?
It's it's not something for your
movies.
Dead inside me.
It's how they measure.
He thinks in the movie, if you
are this big, you get the bang.
All right, so an alligator super
hunt application period runs
through June 8th.
Hunters can pay to apply
multiple times.
So the first one you pay one
time, you're allowed to go hunt
and get one Gator and they tell
you where you can go.
That's the harvest part super
hunt.
You can apply as many times as
you want and you get more
Gators.
Plus you can go to anywhere.
Why even?
Have the first category I don't
understand because there's.
Certain areas that have more
alligators than others and they
want to make sure enough people
go to that place to harvest, OK.
To harvest.
Harvest, yes.
So they give out less super
Gator implications.
You guys can go kill any Gator
you want anywhere.
Right, right.
Those chosen may be allowed to
hunt in most alligator
management units and counties
across Florida.
That was itchy.
So see the difference is super
hunt is almost anywhere in the
state and a regular permit it
is.
You're locked into one specific
county or water.
Source gotcha is hunting.
On your guys list of stuff to
do, No.
Does your wife like to go
hunting?
No.
We've never gone hunting, never
hiking, Not hunting, yes.
Yes, you're very, very, very
outdoorsy.
Did you?
Did you get berries on the way
there?
Did you eat anything on the
path?
No.
No, you don't eat wild berries.
That's not a good idea.
You don't know the difference.
I figured you would know the
difference by now.
Just don't eat.
The berries edible thing.
Well, there's some you can't
eat.
Yeah, OK.
But.
I you don't need to you ate
before you started the hike.
That's not a real.
Hike.
But what if you get?
Hungry.
That's a walk.
OK, a walk.
Trail mix 'cause you're on the
trail you do take.
Trail mix.
That's a thing.

You haven't asked.
No, I don't ask.
So when?
You get there and she hands you
a rope and you look down and see
a two man pup tent and she goes.
We have to climb down there, so

Yeah, I'm sure it is.
Well anyway, the three I saw ATV
show the three level 1 looks
quite nice actually.
Oh, OK.
Tents they.
No, it's a three level thing
that you sleep in on the side of
a mountain.
Oh, like.
A Like a bungalow food.
And stuff.
They bring you the meal and the
I.
Could do that, Yeah.
You climb down.
You're in there.
It's 3 levels.
I mean, you can walk around
inside the tent.
I don't think you're walking
much.
Yeah, yeah.
How many times?
Have these houses fallen down
off the off the mountain well?
It's still a tent like material,
so it just has three floors.
Yeah, I'm not staying in that.
No, I'm not.
Either you look out, I mean.
I'll send you guys photos, why
do you have to go?
To the bathroom, is there just a
hole on the bottom floor?
Yeah, just.
Yeah, just let it.
Fly.
Not that kind of hole it is
there's.
Just nobody on the other side
box for.
Sexually explicit material.
Great.
It's like Barney.
'S man, you got a.
Video over there, Phil.
Well, I mean, after what we're
just talking about, I could have
one.
You want me to find one?
Some outtakes.

zombie movie.
Oh, I have a photo.
Somebody sent me the movie
poster for your new movie Dead
Inside.
I saw.
That did you get?

Yeah, I got it too.
I didn't get your number.

think.
Oh all.
Right, so how do you know I was?
Having a movie, am I getting

Where you were the other day, I
better be.
Getting paid on the set of your.
Movie Dead Inside.

Yep, that is.
Amazing.
Wow, that is your.
Your new zombie porn.
Nice.
Dead.
Inside me dead.
Inside me, I'm glad my.
Character's got all these
different things going on
coming.
Soon did.
You smell it, right?
No.
But nevertheless, nevertheless.
Still funny?
I'll throw that up here in 26
minutes.
All right, on the cigar news,
California cigar tax rate is
decreasing this summer.
Oh.
Surprise, surprise.
Why is that a surprise?
No, I'm just saying.
It's a surprise, but why are
you?
Surprised because.
California would never bring
their stuff down.
That is a surprise.
Oh, the.
California Department of Tax and
Fee Administration has announced
its annual adjustment to the
cigar tax rate.
Do they do this every year in
California?
I don't know.
But like the the drop was
nominal.
Yeah, it's like.
Nothing.
There's like a couple.
Of I think they went from like
58 to 58 to like 52 or something
like that.
Let's read.
On and see.
Please read and it's a bit of a
good news for cigar smokers
Well, not terribly on July 1st
the rate will drop from 54.27%
to the percent of the wholesale
cost sorry to 51 O 8% yeah so
like.
A three-point swing.
About 3 point swing. 50. 1%
that's crazy.
That's the.
Lower one, yeah, that's.
Crazy.
You wouldn't even.
Really notice the?
Maybe if you were buying like
$1000.
No, I.
Mean you would.
Let's hope it's a $20 cigar.
You're going to see like a $3
swing because it's off of the
wholesale basis.
Change.
It will save consumers at least
a little bit of money.
In the case of a cigar with oh
here we go, case of a cigar with
a 950 price MSRP of $9.50, the
change works out to a savings of
about $0.16.
Yeah, that's nominal, man.
Yeah, you're not going to.
By half wheel estimates since
California's tobacco tax rates
percentage of the wholesale
price.
The higher the MSRP, the greater
the savings.
There's no savings because you
still got to pay for the skew in
the box and all that good stuff.
Well, this is for the consumer.
Well, you said wholesale it's.
Based on the wholesale price,
but the consumers the one paying
the taxes at point of purchase.
California adjusted cigar tax
annually and it is based on the
cigarette tax.
How that rate relates to the
average price of a pack of
cigarettes?
Oh, that seems bad.
Doesn't seem.
Like they should correlate, no
seems like.
They're completely two
different.
Things so if the.
Cigarette price goes up or down,
the tax goes up.
I have no.
Idea, but they shouldn't
correlate.
Since 2008, the cigar tax rated
has changed from a low of 27.3%
in parts of 2016 and 17 to a
high of 65 which went into
effect on July 1st, 2017.
Oh my Lord, I.
Don't know why anybody lives in
California.
Thank God we're.
In Florida, baby.
But this I was correct.
This isn't like the tariff or I
guess it is like the consumer.
The end consumers 1 ends up
getting screwed on this always
just.
Gets passed on until the final
user right?
But some of these states have
got floor tax, so like they
don't actually collect the tax
to be paid upon sale to the
consumer.
It's based off of whatever your
inventory is, right?
So if your inventory is X, they
just multiply .58 or 51.3% now
and you have to pay it.
Yeah, I've had.
Customers tell me before, can't
buy anything this week.
We just paid the taxes, right?
Yeah, well.
That stinks, all right.
Oscar Valedari's tobacco and
company partners with volutes at

It's a pain in the butt.
Oh, now?
You're doing no work.
No, I.
Just don't want to have to look

Freedom Dollars.
Freedom Dollars.
Man, it's the whole world's on
Freedom dollars and offered in
the 10 count box.
The line is well known both in
the US and beyond for its unique
packaging as you eat cigars
wrapped in a tobacco leaf.
Oh, aren't the French will try
to smoke them wrapped in the
leaves now too like they did
when they first got here?
Yeah.
Oh, these days they're blue.
Why is it wrapped in the leaf?
La.
Leaf also coming to France.
There's a bundle cigar called
Plan B.
Wow, Yeah, somebody missed out
there, right?
Wow.
That's the day after thing.
I know.
What this.
Yeah, I know.
What Plan B is.
Yeah, yeah.
Wow, you think somebody would
have checked that, huh?
No, they they checked it
afterwards.
Like man, we fucked up.
Maybe in France it means
something completely different.
The Americans, they give us a
cigar called the Plan B.
Yeah, that's what they.
Should have done that is.
When we asked for help in the
war, that is our Plan B.
Yeah, that's why.
We gave you the but in.
America it is a pill.
Oh how strange.
Which is available in the US.
It's also available they can buy
me the US.
It's also offered in a 6 by 52
Toro size with three blends
Connecticut Maduro and Corojo.
That cigars priced at 9:00.
Dollars nine.
Dollars still France.
I'm going to.
Go $20.
No, it is 12 and 96, but you
just said it was.
Going to be released in the US
as well.
So I did it in American
currency, $9.
Well. 1296 in freedom Dollars in
freedom.
Dollars but this American.
Cigar is now offered in France.
This is the price in France, did
you think?
Did you think Freedom Dollars
meant French, Greg?
I don't know what he's talking
about all the time.
American money's called Freedom
Dollars.
USD.
Yes, freedom.
Who coined this Freedom dollars?
Everybody does.
I've never heard this term used
before.
You know the.
You know the guys that rushed
the White House, they.
Go.
The.
Freedom guy with the Buffalo hat
on that stormed the gates.
There's also freedom
measurements.
Yeah, yeah.
No, our.
Measurements are just wrong.
No, they're.
Not yeah, they why are you
against US measurements?
Because.
It's silly.
No, it's not so.
Do you have a tape measure that
it's totally?
Silly that shows 1.
Millimeter so like.
So you have inches, right, that
convert to feet, right?
Correct.
So like feet convert to a good,
a good, a good point of
measurement.
Would that be like 10 inches
equals 1 foot?
No, it's 12 inches, 12 inches
equal 1 foot, right.
OK, that's fine.
So then you have feet that
convert to yards a yard, right.
OK.
So good conversion with five,
maybe 10 feet to no, it's three
because that doesn't make any
sense.
Sure, that's.
Just the rules, yeah.
Wait, tell me how millimeters
work.
He's.
Saying, 'cause that millimeters,
everything's on 10, right?
But why is that?
That's just a random thing too.
That's not.
Random it's it's the same thing
spread out over all of it, so
there's no change in the metrics
3.
Yards.
Correct, there's.
No change in the metrics.
Gotcha.
So 10.
Millimeters make what?
A meter no 10mm make a
centimeter 10 centimeters make a
meter 10 meters.
I don't know how many meters in
a in a mile or what.
What is you're?
You're.
You're.
OK, wait, wait.
What is the metric equivalent of
a mile?
Don't look it up.
Well, that's easy.
That that's a kilometer.
Kilometers.
In a mile, no.
It's.
Not I said what?
Is the equivalent.
It's It's a fraction because
they.
Don't they don't correlate, they
don't communicate with each
other right?
They they don't run in the same
whole numbers.
How many?
Yards in a mile.
I don't know, I could have to
load up 5002. 180 I mean these.
Are just things people?
Should know, yeah, but no the.
That in itself is just a silly
number.
How long have you been an?
American at. 44 years you should
know.
These things, why?
Because you're an.
American, for goodness sake,
Greg.
How much does a whopper cost?
Oh, I wouldn't know that.
OK, How?
Much do your boots cost?
I like everyone's cost A.
$120.00.
How come you know that but you
don't know how many?
How many boots?
Not whoppers.
How many?
How many dollars in a $5.00
bill?
What?
Yeah.
Follow me.
Here how many?
How many dollars in a $5.00
bill?
All right, we can.
Play this game.
Sure, Greg, Win 5.
How many dollars in a $10.00
bill 10?
How many?
Fives in a $10.00 bill 2 Why is
all that OK but you can't handle
the inches and moves because of.
How?
Many dollars are in a pound.
How many dollars are in a pound?
Yeah, How many dollars are in a
pound?
How many?
How many?
Dollars.
How many pints?
Are in a pound?
How many?
Pints I.
Don't know what's before the
pound are.
You talking about for conversion
rate United States dollars to
pounds Yeah, I'd have to look
that up 'cause it's constantly
changing, 'cause you're.
American and you know what's in
a mile and a yard and a dollar
and a whopper and your boots
they.
Didn't know the whopper.
What the he, he?
Should know the whopper then.
I don't buy whoppers.
What is the?
What is the you should buy?
Whoppers for the next show for
us?
Well, they.
Kind of.
Everything's not a pound.
I mean, they're going to have
cents and stuff.
Don't they have coins?
Yeah, yeah.
I think it's like Pence or
something like that.
Oh, I.
Thought you were trying to say
pints.
Well, how about this?
One right so Peruvian sold the
the rate is like .36 I know that
because I had to go to the bank
to go get cash yeah you're
getting.
Ready to go to Peru, They should
take American.
They take American money
everywhere.
Not always, yeah.
Not always, yeah.
American money's universal.
It's.
Freedom dollars.
Freedom.
Dollars.
You always travel with $100 in
your pocket when you go to a
foreign country, and smaller
bills.
Always.
Smaller bills, hey, will you
take?
This one take one of your.
Watches.
It looks expensive.
That could help you out too.
No, you.
Wear an inexpensive watch and
not a lot of jewelry.
Well, what are you going to do
there?
You don't wear.
Any of this when you travel?
Watch that.
Watch Might.
Get you across the border in a
heartbeat when you're out of
money.
Tabacalera de Garcia, Florida de
Copan resumed shipments to Altis
USA and Jr.
Cigar.
Yeah, this is.
Big yeah, so.
This is that guy that stole all
the money and then they took the
factories.
You with us?
Over there, Phil Yeah.
Florida Copan, a cigar factory
in Honduras, and Tablicalera de
Garcia, a factory in the
Dominican Republic, have resumed
shipments to Cigars and
Tabacularia USA, reversal of
major change that abruptly
shocked both factories last
year.
The US Office of Foreign Asset
Control, or OFAC Oh, I.
Like that, granted a.
Temporary license to the Tablet
Calera, the Spanish based
company that operates both
factories, which allows the
company to do business with
American companies until 2028.
So it's just two years.
So Spanish Factory owns the one
factory in Honduras and the
other factory in Dominican
Republic.
OK.
So then they gave.
Well, I'm asking more than
telling.
So then they gave a license to
the Spanish guys that you can
make cigars in these two
countries.
Yeah, All right.
Makes sense to.
Me.
What does that?
What does that mean for AJ?
Because that's where they moved
all their stuff, AJ.
Only AJ.
He'll probably retain a portion
of it, yeah.
Would they be?
OK?
Let's talk cigars here for a
minute.
I think, Greg, would they be
smarter than to?
OK, let's back up here.
You think the tobacco is still
at these factories that they had
from before?
You think it's been dispersed or
swiped or stolen or rotted?
That's a really.
Good question.
I would say it's probably still
there.
I don't, I mean they may have
sold some of it, but if
everything got frozen like
you're if you're not able to
trade, you're not able to trade.
Well, that's.
That's the next question then.
How locked down is it?
Did they send military there to
patrol the grounds or they just
put a chain on the door and go?
Nobody can come in and then
nobody's been there for whatever
is 12 weeks.
That's another.
Really good question because.
Then I would go get the tobacco,
not sell it.
I like if I was just some guy in
Dominican Republic.
Well, change and.
Just take it out.
I'm.
I'm sure there would be not
necessarily like government
guards there, but like guards
that are employed by the factory
to make sure nobody's taking.
It cousin who's one of the
guards tell you when most people
aren't there.
It's usually after 5:00.
Yeah, but like you say, it's
usually.
After 5:00, usually after. 5:00
Oh yeah, I can figure it's at
night like I'm not.
Familiar with like Dominican
factories because I haven't been
there, but I can tell you how it
is in Nicaragua, right?
OK, let's say.
It's in so so in.
Nicaragua, your security system
is a guy that stays there all
all night long on a small
factory, just give on a big
factory, it's multiple guys that
are there.
Yeah.
To secure this, got a.
Guy right that he.
Stays there, Yeah.
Then they had the.
Bicycle guys with the whistles,
but they had a.
Problem at one point with the
guy because the guy would go off
to meet his girlfriend and leave
the place.
All of a sudden he just went on
to cameras for a while, no?
No, he didn't leave to go and
do.
I'm trying to be nice.
OK.
Yeah.
No, it was on premise.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well.
I was trying to not say that
part, but you know, not
something else.
I have to edit it. 40 minutes.
Let's talk.
More about that.
So I got to imagine at these
factories, OK, they send a girl
over to talk to Juan, who is the
night guard by the big door and
the girl and the girl goes,
Juan, let's go boop, boop over
here.
So Juan leaves the door, Pepe
and whoever else comes cracks
the chain and takes 40 bundles
of tobacco out 40.
Bundles of tobacco Well 40.
Polones, I'm not 40.
Polones, that's a lot.
I know it.
Is it takes a really long time,
this girl, I mean, yeah, no.
So like the the value of
tobacco, let's let's say it's
like, I don't know, $15 a pound.
Do you realize how much tobacco
you would actually have to move
for it to be a large dollar
amount?
You would need a large.
Drop a guy with his own little
factory that has 1 1/2 rollers.
Just went to Pallone's where you
can make free cigars.
I'm not saying it's all gone.
Well.
He's at 4:00.
I don't.
So that's probably a lot of gone
you.
Don't think any.
No, I think that.
If you own that factory, you
it's a secure factory and nobody
is taking well if you.
Own it.
You're not allowed to go back to
it.
No, no.
No, no, you weren't allowed to
sell out of it.
No, they locked the doors and
chained them, I read they kicked
everybody out.
Oh, I don't remember that part.
So then you would.
Think it would be up to the
government to put a guard there?
So I or the local?
Militia or whatever they happen
to have, I don't know so with
the with the tobacco be bad
nobody's been flipping it
nobody's been rolling it
nobody's done anything to it
then you put those little pods
in there that explode and catch
on fire most of it's.
Stored in bales like it's
already packaged up.
It's huge big bags of tobacco
that's been pressed and
condensed and stored.
But don't they?
I mean, I've never been because
you guys won't send me, but
don't they still have to flip it
or something?
Not once.
It's at that stage, no, when
it's in the.
Bell flip, flip.
Flipping happens in the in the
fermentation.
Process tobacco that's in the
future.
The stages before that does
still have to be in.
The pre pre.
Embargo.
I don't know.
What?
It's called.
So if the tobacco is because
I've never been.
Filled.
I don't know, I'm making this
stuff up.
If the tobacco.
'S being fermented.
It's in P loans, but once it
goes through that process it
gets stored in huge bales and
then so I imagine.
This big factory has tobacco in
different stages I I.
Would assume it's possible
unless it doesn't.
It just stores tobacco and buys
from pre industry.
But I would assume that their
factories definitely were
processing pre industry tobacco.
So then you think with this open
from till 2028, that is it's not
like, OK, you can open, but you
can only use the tobacco you
had, You can't bring any more
tobacco in.
They would be completely 100%
operational.
We can do whatever it was we
were supposed to do.
Is that what?
They were told they can only use
that which they had opinion is.
As a professional who's been to
these countries and seen these
factories, well, I would say.
If they're open for trade,
they're open for trade.
They can purchase and sell.
They can acquire whatever they
need.
So the smart thing we do is sell
everything Liquidate by the end
of 2028, no?
No, not so.
They have a temporary license in
place for them to gain the
permanent license.
It's just like acquiring a
license in the United States for
beer and wine, right?
You you get a temporary one as
the paperwork is being processed
for the permanent one.
The the smart business is to
stay in business and get the
license to be permanent.
They need to.
Watch the news and see how the
trial's going to see if they're
going to take the factory again.
Well, who knows how that shakes
out, but I, I, I think that this
is a step in the right direction
where they'll be able to
commence with trade and
eventually get licensing again.
Yeah, I.
Think what's happened by them
getting that temporary is that
they've already separated
themselves.
Yeah.
Oh wait, we have good.
News Separately, the UK Office
of Financial Sanctions
implemented has issued a similar
license that is valid till 2031.
I don't know how that works.
The country says you can go at
2028, you have to stop.
No, no, UK said 2031.
I'm still good.
Love the British.
Well, any.
Any I got another I got.
Another three years out of this,
any license.
Has an expiration date anyways,
yes.
But two different countries have
gave them two different licenses
to do the same thing that expire
on two different dates.
Yeah, to.
Operate in commerce in their
country.
Do you get it?
Well, the first.
One was to operate the factory
in the country, right?
So in. 20 Let's say they do not
get another license, so in 2028
they have to stop working at the
factory again, right?
But.
They will wind up getting a
permanent license by that time.
You don't know that for sure.
Oh my God, if I had.
To a factory that made cigars.
You guys won't let me go, as was
first reported the Spanish
newspaper El Confidential.
The most compelling
justification for the reprieve
is so that the corporation can
continue the process of trying
to remove its majority
shareholder, Shenzi, who is
currently in Chinese custody and
remains under indictment by
American, British and other
authorities in.
Trouble.
Yeah, but if he stays in China,
the Americans and the British
and whoever else I just said
can't get in.
Yet.
There's no extradition from from
the Communist, Yeah, but.
I I would much rather be in an
American or British prison than
a Chinese prison.
I'm sure.
They're I'm sure they're some
of.
Them I'm.
Sure there is extradition when
it's federal.
No, no.
It's not.
Why does the Chinese care about
our federal laws?
Yeah.
You don't think Interpol works
with?
That's.
International Interpol is in
Europe.
That's not Chinese.
OK, what are they?
Inspectors?
The Inspectorism.
This is amazing.
This is absolutely amazing.
Well, Jackie.
Chan comes out of the back room
and says no, no, you pick him
out.
He's from.
Hong Kong the the.
The the Chinese version of
Interpol is called inspectorism.
They're inspectors.
Because he saw what was the name
of the movie Rush.
Hour rush.
Hour he knows all about Chinese
it's.
What rush hourism?
Well, I watched the other one he
was in too.
Oh, what?
Was that one what was?
The first one, it was like, what
was the very first one he ever
did?
I don't.
Know Bronze Rumble?
In the Bronx, oh, rumble.
In the Bronx he was an inspector
then, too.
He didn't get promoted much
between the two movies then.
No, he didn't.
What's the highest you can go?
Chief Inspectorism.
Inspectorism Level 3.
All right.
There's also includes the local
Cuban cigar distributors in
various countries, some of which
have come under increased
banking scrutiny due to their
owners.
All right, Simon, the industry's
favorite game.
What's?
The score, we're not giving
enough.
Yeah, Greg A.
Little more enthusiastic, a
little more.
Enthusiastic.
This is the industry's.
Favorite game?
Yeah, Greg, there are brands
that are playing this as we do
the show I.
Get it?
This is as excited as I get
about it.
All right, we're going to try.
Again, we need a little more
Abby.
You're not.
Going to get anymore Mikey you
want to.
Help us out here, volume.
Here we go When?
We sit when?
We do it.
You yell, what's the score?
OK, the industry's favorite
game.
What's the score?
Thank you, Michael.
See you.
He did a good job.
He does a good.
Job March.
First cigar is March 27th, 2012.
Brooks Whittington cigar is the
Brooks Whittington cigars.
Why is he called that?
He's got a.
Subcontractor, OH, apparently.
Dominican Republic The cigar is
called the Second Growth.
OK, are you familiar with?
The cigar growth, No.
Well, I'm not going to ask you.
You're over there with your
inspectorisms.
Sounds like a bad.
Physical.
Condition.
Yeah, it almost.
Sounds like the thing after the
Plan B.
The second growth.
The second growth.
You're up, Greg.
Somebody vote.
Oh no.
You go first.
Oh.
If you would hit the test
button, I have set up the
fireworks for you.
If you by chance win, you know
how you should know how they
operate.
Stole them from you.
So I'm going to guess it's his
cigar 91.
Oh, is that the cleaning?
Yeah.
All right.
Turn it off.
Great.
All right.
What did you say?
Phil, 90.
One Phil says. 9190 first cool
oh the the information second
growth.
It is a Dominican Republic
factories Occidental cigar
factory.
You familiar with them?
No rappers Ecuador is a habano
hybrid binders Dominican
Republic fillers Honduran and
Dominican Republic It is a 7 and
78 by 54 Churchill Grande.
They smoked 2 cigars, 90. 190.
Clue #1 Rich, complex blend
Dominican and Honduran fillers
under the Ecuador Habano hybrid
wrapper give it a layered
profile with depth that keeps
evolving. 9293.
He's just.
Playing you.
He's not even listening to what
I'm saying.
This Churchill Grande size
delivers a long slow burn with a
luxurious feel that matches the
high end positioning. 98. 98 for
a cigar called like nobody in
this room has heard of.
Well.
I just wanted to see where Greg
was going to go.
Ever made sun after and shops
throughout the world.
I just want to.
See where Greg was going to go?
Oh my.
God, you tell him I'm playing
him and he says 98400.
My.
God, oh 93. 3rd.
Third clue This $78 price tag
hits hard, expectations are sky
high, and not every smoker is
going to feel the experience
justifies the cost, you say?
$78 yes.
A stick, Yes.
Oh wow, freedom.
Money.
Freedom.
Money.
Freedom Dollars non.
Peruvian Non.
Peruvian.
Oh, you need me to guess?
Sorry, your last score was 98 if
you didn't remember.
Yeah. 93.
I'm going to go 93 as well.
All right, final thought.
I have to say, the construction,
burn, draw, and smoke production
we're all phenomenal on this
cigar.
Oh wow.
None of them could be any
better.
Unfortunately, the joy I felt in
those regards just does not
carry over to the flavors that
are present, as with no cigars
blended by Kellner.
Oh, at least I've heard of him.
I found the second growth to be
overly simplistic in terms of
flavors and profile and the
absolute monster size.
And you have almost 2 1/2 hours
of wonderful constructed
monotony.
It is a Is it a bad cigar?
Not by any means.
In fact, if you like the profile
I described above and are
willing to pay the price, you'll
probably love it as it really
all there is to it.
But I seem to consistently be
hoping for more complexity, more
flavors and more shifts and what
I was tasting, and unfortunately
I was constantly let down.
Oh boy. 85. 86 You went the.
Wrong way. 70. 60 Wow.
No, no, not for him.
Don't put the farmer trim.
OK.
No, no, you could still win the
second.
Wouldn't pick it back up.
Oh, OK.
It's not working.
See, that's why we're not
paying, OK?
Even our tech guy can't get it
to work.
It's all right.
It doesn't have to work often.
Oh.
Yeah, I don't know why that's
weird.
We'd.
Like our check back please.
You have to get.
Down there and shake them.
Fucking paid.
For them, they don't work.
That's weird.
They work.
They work before you touch them.
All right.
The one time you used them at
your house, you're lucky you
didn't catch your bedroom on
fire.
They were in his bedroom, you
know they.
Weren't.
No, they weren't.
They weren't in his bedroom, you
know they.
Weren't at some point I saw.
Them they were not in his
bedroom use.
Them for something else.
He's not going to miss an
opportunity set off.
Fireworks.
I know some stories.
That's just an upgrade from what
he told May 12th, 2024.
Patrick Lagreed Cigars.
Oh, apparently he's got his own
company too.
The Sacrificio Junior.
You're first now, Greg on the.
100.
They're making a mockery of my
game.
I'm going to guess 76.
Cigar reviews cef whatever I
said it was country of origins
Nicaragua tabacolera oliva de
Nicaragua rappers Ecuadorian
Connecticut binder Cameroon
villar kondaga and halapa.
It's a 5 by 50 they smoked. 3
Bootsie, you're first.
Greg, why am I first?
Because.
I won the last game, so we
switched.
Oh, you.
Said 76.
I'm going to go 75.
I mean, it's a good factory.
You're not going to go higher.
No, OK.
I'm going to go to 84.
What did you say, 70?
Five.
Excellent.
Construction from start to
finish, clean seams, 30 ash and
a flawless burn draw makes the
cigar performance exactly how
you want it to.
Clue #176 84.
Clue #2 Creamy, approachable
profile notes of bread, cream
and light almonds create a
smooth, easygoing smoke that's
balanced and inviting,
especially in the first half. 84
He's cheating.
He's cheating Palmer.
How can you?
Cheat unless you can see the
he's just saying.
The numbers, I say yeah, 84.
Third Clue lacks progression in
depth, the profile stays fairly
safe with creaminess fading into
toast and pepper, and the final
third doesn't deliver a strong
or memorable finish. 84 That was
the.
Last clue.
Now we're going to final
thought, right?
Correct 84.
The Sacrificio Junior is a salad
cigar and does what it seemly
aims to do quite well, which is
offer a milder profile and a
fairly compact vitola.
The flavors are solid but not
overwhelming, the construction
is very good, and the overall
experience is a very good one.
If there is a knock on the
cigar, it's that it already
existed seemingly every humidor
in the country, whether it be a
cigar store or desktop humidor
at a golf course.
Which leads me to wonder how it
will stand out, especially at a
$15 price point, as I didn't
pick up anything that
differentiated it from any
number of similar blends that
would make me pick up this one
at a premium shop. 85. 84 He.
Went the Right way 88.
Greg won.
No, you didn't.
Win I.
Said 85.
He said 84.
Yeah.
Oh, that's right.
You did win.
Sorry, only one of them is going
off.
It's good enough all.
Right.
Anybody got anything else with
this madness that's going on?
Just so, everybody.
Knows that was a setup.
That's not a setup.
All right, it's been episode 228
cigars and podcast.
