ACHP Episode 636 It's Not Hammer Time

ACHP Episode 636 It's Not Hammer Time

Episode Summary

Mike Palmer is joined by Michael and "Triple G" Greg — hours away from flying to Peru, and newly nicknamed "Tango Plata" — for a loose, joke-heavy episode of A Cigar Hustler's Podcast. The first half is classic off-topic banter: an Amazon driver who called 911 after witnessing a hammer attack in a Massachusetts home, KFC bringing back fried pickles alongside new Jalapeño Ranch and Honey Chili Crisp sauces and a prickly pear lemonade, a still-unexplained car fire near Broadway and Stone Street in Lower Manhattan, and the TSA's new off-site "straight-to-gate" screening pilot at Boston Logan, where travelers can check bags and clear security 25 miles away and shuttle in for $9. The crew also covers the U.S. charging a 90-year-old Castro over the 1996 shootdown of two Brothers to the Rescue civilian planes.

On the cigar side, the big news is Viaje's C4 and TNT returning for 2026 — same blends as the 2023 release, with the price moving from $11.44 to $12.24, a rare adjustment for Viaje. Greg explains the retailer's decision to pass on them: the cigars ship in 75-count crate-style boxes, and while Viaje box buyers exist, most customers won't commit to that quantity, leaving the shop sitting on broken-up singles. His pitch to the brand is straightforward — split the crates into 25-count boxes and both the retailer and the consumer would buy more. They also cover the Perez Carrillo Deep Blue Limited Edition 2026 shipping nationwide after debuting at Smoke Inn in South Florida: a 6x56 Toro Extra with a Jalapa, Nicaragua wrapper, Honduran binder and Nicaraguan filler, priced around $22 per cigar, with Ernesto Perez-Carrillo describing the blend as "a journey."

The episode closes with What's the Score, featuring Brooks Whittington's March 2013 review of the Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan — a 6x50 Toro with a Nicaraguan Candela wrapper, Honduran binder and Nicaraguan/Panamanian filler at $8. The review praises vanilla and nutmeg sweetness over classic Candela grassiness but pans the unbalanced grassy, peppery final third and dismisses Candela as a St. Patrick's Day gimmick. Guessing runs 85–86 before the panel lands on the final number, with an ongoing running gag about whether one of the players has been cheating with his phone. Plus: the CHPod.com 4th of July 2026 BDP t-shirt pre-order.

Yes. Yesterday's car video information. Oh, okay. TSA is making changes again.

Excellent. And load up, boys. It's time to get another one. But then in cigars, a blast from the past, some shipping news, and a what's the score that proves I'm waiting for it.

That green light, I want it. It proves I can't read. I can't read. Well, it was a line from a song.

So many words. It made more sense before I read it. And now it doesn't. Now it doesn't.

But it will when we play What's the Score. But first, how do we get some of that CHPod swag, Michael? Well, first, Palmer, I want you to know... Yes.

The who's who's. The people who are screwing people over sometimes. And all the good stuff. As well as a cigar review.

Right? It's hard to believe there's stuff that we save for that show. But there is. There is.

There is. So just imagine what it is. Because at this point we get in trouble for stuff that we don't even say on the show. Right.

That's true. Some comments. Some comments from... I'm going to put it on both of you guys.

Let me see what this does. There it is, okay. Comments. Tengo Plata.

From Tengo Plata. No Tengo Plata, para mí. No Tengo Plata. Tengo Plata.

Mucho Tengo Plata. Mucho Plata. All right, let's see. Some comments from the previous show.

" Oh wait, that's old. Let me see this. Hold on, hold on. Oh, one job.

Oh, Fun job. Ah, okay. " Yeah, I'm not going to speak about what we're referencing there on that one, but yes, yes indeed, Mike Wazowski. Mike Wazowski.

Ben Rowland 6241 says, Palmer Fumble effing into Sazerac was solid. Sazerac is a bourbon or something. They make great bourbon. Yeah, I know my left from my right, Ben.

Yeah, haha. Haha. So there's that. Greg, do you know your left from your right?

Yes. You do? Yep. Okay, that's good.

That makes three of us except for Ben. Ben's wife says he does not. He does not. Did he have to get the tattoos for this hand, the L, and this hand, the R?

Well, his feet are tattooed, so I said maybe you should put a L and an R. They're on his feet. Yeah. That's nice.

But no, apparently no. He has problems with the righty-tighty, lefty-loosey thing. Ah, yes. " Oh.

A CHPOD game. Mm-hmm. We would need pictures. Yeah.

If you want to hear your comment, read aloud on the show. Just comment below and we may or may not read it out, if it's funny or if it's not funny, or if I just want to read it, I may do it or I may skip it, I don't know, it could happen, so if you want to stand a chance of doing it, just go ahead and comment below. On with the show. An Amazon driver saved a woman's life after spotting a brutal attack unfolding in her house and calling police.

Okay. That sounds bad. Authorities say a 72-year-old, James Allen Johnson, has been charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly attacking his wife with a hammer inside their home. Hammer's my favorite.

It's a go-to, you know? Well, I mean, everybody's got one, so, you know, generally speaking. We all don't have hammers. According to investigators, the victim told police Johnson struck her in the head twice before she managed to fight him off by kicking him in the crotch while he was on top of her.

Police say the assault was witnessed by the Amazon driver outside the home, who immediately called 9-1-1 for help. What do you think she said before it got to Hammer? There had to be something that happened pre-Hammer to get to the level of Hammer. Right, there had to be something that she did, not that she deserved being hit by the hammer.

Wow, listen to you two sexist bastards. I'm not saying that she deserved it. What did she do? Just saying something ticked the man off.

You don't know, it's not like he was sitting there watching his shows, he goes... She wasn't sitting there quietly doing a crossword puzzle. You know, that hammer looks like it might hurt. Come here, honey.

You don't know that. She could have been doing the crossword puzzle. I highly doubt it. Maybe he was mad that she was doing his crossword puzzle.

And then straight to hammer? There's no discussion first? Yeah, you don't know. I put down my effin' crossword puzzle?

Yeah. That's my Sudoku. Right. Seems like it's gotta escalate gradually.

Yeah, something's gotta, cause he hit her twice. No, wait. You don't know. You don't know that.

And he had her pinned to the ground. He could just be an unstable person. Also, did he hit her with, like, the blunt part of the hammer or the hook? We just don't know.

That's two different levels of hammer. I'm assuming the front end. I mean, and then what type of hammer? Was it, you know, a sturdy, like, DeWalt hammer?

Or was it, like, one of those little baby hammers that you use for, you know? I like to imagine, oh, the little baby, the tiny one for the little home repairs. Yeah, you know, where you get rolled, where you order one on Amazon, and you're like, this is gonna be a great hammer, and then it comes in and it's, you know, one-tenth scale or something like that? Right, right.

The dead-hit hammer, because it doesn't bounce back, you know, the ones with the sand in it. Oh, the sledgehammer. No, it's not a sledgehammer, but it's for forceful movement. Oh, I like the ball-peen hammer.

You just like saying ball-peen. It's a ball-peen, yeah, ball-peen hammer. I gotta be honest. Well, there's not really a hook on that one, either.

No, there's not. Just that big round, not on the end. I'm not really a hammer kind of guy, you know? Well, you have, you know, you like to hit things.

I have a, I have a Greg. Greg has hammers. Oh. I do, I have a lot of hammers.

He has a wall full of hammers, actually. I have a wall full of hammers, but those hammers don't get used. Yeah. Well, they have been.

They have been used, yes. They have been retired. Yes. Those are retired hammers.

Those are retired hammers. Yeah. So I have a Greg who has hammers, and now I have a Kenny, and Kenny's pretty awesome. He has some hammers, as well.

Kenny. Who is the Kenny with the hammers? Kenny's my friend. He's like the...

What's the other guy's name for the football? What's his name? Preston. He's like Preston, only he's a pretty cool dude.

He's a lot cooler. Yep. Is he the guy that lives down the street? You know, you were so close to dropping something awesome there, and then you just walked it back, like, he's close to the, but he's cool.

Well, I didn't want to seem insulting. Oh, he already seemed sexist, I mean, why not? He didn't seem sexist, I'm just saying that something happened before we went to Hammer. Yeah, what'd she do, what'd she do?

What did she say is what I said. Yeah, exactly. You know what, he asked for the sandwich, it's not her, it's not his fault. Yeah, give me a cheese sandwich.

I like the sandwich. You think that's what it was? She fucked up a sandwich? She put the mayonnaise on the wrong side of the cheese.

I hope this guy goes to jail forever. Yeah, he's in jail. I don't know about forever, but they got him for attempted murder. Yeah, that's a pretty good one.

I've switched my angle, if you can tell. Look at this. Now I'm living my best life. What do you do?

It looks like you're leaving the room. Very comfortable. Oh. He wants to move the camera?

So yeah, no, Kenny's awesome. And Kenny has hammers. Does Kenny live down the street from you that fixes cars in his garage? Is that Kenny?

No. What's his name? I can't remember his name. I don't even know who you're talking about.

He went with us to a couple of cigar things. He lives down the street. I thought he lived down the street-ish. He lives near you.

Oh, that might be Kenny. He repaired cars in his garage. We brought him to Fort... The Great Smoke or something?

We took him down south. No, it wasn't Great Smoke. It was Palmer's place. Oh, Breast Pipe.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's right, Breast Pipe. That's Kenny. Yeah, that's Kenny.

Yeah, I like Kenny. We like Kenny. Kenny helped me install, took a single sink and turned into a dual sink. oh yeah beautiful work i inspected yeah greg looked at it and said wow this is incredible yeah oh and then i went to i went to britney i said did my brother do this and she said no oh yeah no there's no way no way but now greg's just going now i don't have to go back to his house and do things i'm like yeah i'm like henry ford i just know a guy that can fix the problem it's like here when aps moved down the thing he doesn't do anything here anymore either aps oh yeah when they used to do repairs before their repairs needed repairs for their repairs They needed repairs?

Right. Hmm. Okay. I don't know where we're going with that, but okay.

All right. KFC just brought back the favorite, a fan favorite. A favorite? A fan favorite.

It's your favorite. It's a favorite. And my favorite, favorite, favorite. Now don't say what it is, Michael, because you looked it up.

I know. Greg, what do you think the fan favorite is? What do you think it is, Greg? Greg, what do you think it is?

KFC? Kentucky Fried Chicken? Yeah. Tacos.

That doesn't even make sense. It brought back tacos? Well, it doesn't seem like it's gonna make sense, whatever it is they're bringing back. That doesn't track, bro.

Come on. Yeah, it does. It fits. Tacos?

Sure. Yeah, tacos doesn't. - Chicken tacos? Just straight chicken tacos?

- Yes, chicken tacos. - No, that's ridiculous. - That's ridiculous. - Yeah.

- You don't eat out much, do you? - I don't eat KFC much. - Yeah, 'cause, you know, Tango Plata. - Tango Plata, yeah.

Tango Plata goes to the nice places. - Right, Tango Plata does not go to KFC for the $10 bucket. - I'm your manservant for this evening. My name is Charles.

- Speaking of nice places, did you get us a card for, is it Christian's Steakhouse or something like that? - Christianer's, yeah. - Christianer's. - Yeah.

- We went there last night. - Oh, finally, good. It only took you a year and a half. But we made it.

Yeah. Super expensive, not equivalent to the price. You didn't like it? Well, it's not that I didn't like it.

I mean, like, for about 20% less, it would have made sense. For 20% less? Yeah. Like, all the plates were anywhere in between like 75 to 100 bucks, right?

Yeah. So it should be a certain level at that price. You would think? Okay.

And it was more or less like, you know, $50 a plate. That would have made sense. Did it come with the sides? No, you gotta do those separate.

See, I hate the alley cart sides. The fancy joints like that, you gotta do the sides separate. I hate the alley cart sides. I like Christmas.

I want to spend $75. Give me a damn baked potato. That's not how it works. You need to pay another 30 for the baked potato.

Right, exactly. Ugh. Now I know why he's Tango Plata. Right.

Because he's so curmudgeoning with his cash. Oh, this is so expensive. Well, he doesn't go to KFC because if he did, he could get fried pickles. Fried pickles.

Just in time for summer. The tangy breaded pickles are now available at KFC locations nationwide in an eight-piece serving with your choice of dipping sauces, Soces such as the restaurant's new Jalapeno Ranch and Honey Chili Crisp. Are they just fried or are they breaded and fried? I would imagine they're breaded and fried.

It's KFC, seven herbs and spices on those pickles. I see, yes, yes. Yeah. Then they're just hot pickles.

I gotta be honest, you said eight pieces of fried pickles? I think they're the spears, I don't think they're the disc. Yeah, no, that kind of seems like a lot of pickles. Yeah, that's too much.

You think so? I think it's eight little slices of the disc. Because of the disk. Yeah.

When you get fried pickles out at a restaurant and stuff, you get like 20 or 30 of them. Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying. This sounds like a rip-off.

Oh, you think there's not enough? Yeah. If it's the disks. If it's a whole pickle that's fried, it's way too much pickle.

Yeah. That's excessive pickle. It's the Spears. It's a pickle cut into four pieces.

I don't think that that's what it is. I don't know either, but I'm going to get some and try it. We like fried pickles at my house. Fried pickles are amazing.

Yes. But if you, I just want you to know, if you order, you better order like four. Four servings? There's only two of us.

Yeah, you can't crush 16 pickles per? No. I bet you you could. No, she doesn't eat much anymore.

You can't crush 24 in her eight? I cannot crush 24 pickles and still eat my $10 bucket of chicken. Yes, you can. No.

I believe in you. Is a bucket of chicken really $10 at KFC? Hey, I saw a commercial last night, they're running a special. Every day of the week there's a different $10 bucket.

Yeah. One day it's wings, one day it's strips, one day it's nuggets. That's super impressive. That's super impressive.

Now you're talking Tango Plata style right there. You know what I mean? Now I want to try KFC. On the way to Peru, honey, can we style at KFC?

It just makes sense. Hey, I heard they made tacos, but we're not interested in those. We're going to get some pickles and a bucket of chicken. We're going to get all the tacos we can get in Peru.

Yeah. Because Tango Plata. The pickle craze is here to stay, said Melissa Cash, CMO KFC USA. Where we can put the flavor of the fried pickle on a napkin and you can taste it.

CMO, is that Chief Money Officer? Marketing Officer, dum-dum. Oh, I thought it had something to do with chicken. Yeah, when it comes to money, it's CFO.

Look, they make up things all the time. It's true, I hate those titles. What's his name? Is it CIO now?

Yeah, I hate those titles. CIO? Well, yeah, Chi, Chi, whatever. It's STI now.

The response to our fried pickles last summer proved that demand is still strong. We're building on that momentum by bringing them back to our menu. This time, fans can pair them fried pickles with our bold new sauces and refreshing lemonade. Oh, they have a new lemonade.

Ooh. What's the best place? Who has the best lemonade, fast food? This is an easy layup.

Who has the best lemonade? Yeah. Ooh. No.

You've already blown it. Greg, who do you got? You're talking about, like, fast food places? Yeah, yeah.

He doesn't eat those. Again, disqualified. I have no idea. Yeah, I eat all organic.

I get it. Tango Plata, Michael. Tango Plata, non-GMO, is what he's all about. That gluten-free shit right there.

Look at this stud. All farm grown at his house. I don't eat McDonald's. I don't eat Burger King.

I don't eat Taco Bell. I don't eat KFC. No, I don't eat those. The chickens at my house, they'll make the egg and I like the egg.

I do eat those eggs. I eat the delicious egg. That's all we eat are the eggs they make at his house. And the raccoon eat the chicken.

The raccoon has eaten many a chicken. Many a chicken. So are you gonna tell us? Who has the best lemonade?

You're like a Polish hillbilly at this point. You know what I mean? Like, it's so confusing. Makes no sense.

You can tell us where's the best lemonade, Michael. Are you gonna get a sheep? You should get a sheep. She does want a cow, but the problem is we live in an HOA.

What the hell are you gonna do with a cow? Get a mini-cow. I don't fucking know. What are you gonna do with a cow?

She wants a cow. That's obnoxious. Are you gonna butcher it and eat it? No, no, it's like a pet.

I'd be okay with it at that point. A pet, then they get the mini-wing. The tortoise now is allowed to, like, roam the patio freely. You have a tortoise?

We have a tortoise, yeah. Yeah. Roams the patio? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Not the yard? No, no, no, because it's still too small. The hawks and the owls will take out the tortoise. Who gets the tortoise when you both die?

Axel. Who gets it when he dies? Yeah. That's the fun part.

Is that his problem? That's the fun part, yeah. Yeah. Just messing up people's lives after we die.

You should get a parrot, too. Yeah. They do live the world. Don't mention that around my wife, please.

There's this parrot I started following on social media. It's this white one, and it doesn't sleep at night. It runs up and down the hall knocking on the door. - That is amazing.

- With its beak going, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, and it talks to Alexa and has it played loud music. - That is amazing. Are you sure that's not AI generated? - It doesn't look like it.

- Yeah. - That bird's gotta go. - Yeah, no kidding, I'd kill that bird after that first night. - Yeah, you're done, and you're done here.

- Banging on my bedroom door. - Yeah, so the lemonade? - Yeah, the lemonade. Who's making the lemonade?

Who's got the best lemonade? Chick-fil-A, bro. Not even close. - I thought you were gonna say Chick-fil-A.

I don't get it at Chick-fil-A. We don't go to Chick-fil-A. I hate the line. - You know what, actually, I have eaten Chick-fil-A.

It's not bad. - Yeah, exactly. The Lord's Chicken. I've eaten it.

That's right. The lines are too long. I don't like going there. They're very efficient.

They have great customer service. Apparently, great lemonade. Next time I go, I'll have to try it. You need to have the lemonade.

It is good. I have had it before. Yeah. I'm not a real big lemonade guy, but I'll have to try it.

It's obvious. On Mother's Day, when we went shopping in Deland, one of the stores had free-- You spoiled her and took her to Chick-fil-A? No, no. I figured where we took her.

But anyway-- Come on, honey. Let's go to Chick-fil-A. - Yeah, that's ridiculous. - And the boutique store that she went into to look around, I had seven glasses.

- Mother's Day's on a Sunday. - You already pee a lot. That would have been a hell of a day. " We had seven glasses of lemonade.

It was hot. Anyway, they're making a signature Prickly Pear Lemonade. - It wasn't Father's Day. What are you talking about?

Who's making Prickly Pear? - KFC. That's how we got on the lemonade. - Oh.

That sounds terrible. Prickly Pear? - I'm not a big pear fan. - Ugh.

Are the quantities going to be the same as the fried pickles? - You get eight glasses. Is it a quarter glass or is it a full glass? It's small little shot glasses.

Yeah, shot glasses. You get eight shots of prickly pear. Prickly pear glass, okay. All right, yes, today's car video.

Yes. The explosion. Yes, we covered the explosion down, Greg, by the bull down in New York City. Yeah, in New York.

I heard about that. Have they determined what it was yet? No. What do you mean no?

That's curious. That means that they're probably just not talking about it. Here's the information they have. and a half.

The car erupted into flames near Broadway and Stone Street in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday evening, sending thick smoke into the air and drawing crowds of shocked onlookers. Dramatic video shared online on the Citizens app showed the vehicle fully engulfed in flames before FDNY crews arrived and it quickly brought the fire under control. No injuries were reported, but photos from the aftermath showed the car completely torched after the blaze was extinguished by first responders. The cause of the explosion remains unknown.

Terrorist? Question mark? Well, you would think somebody, if it was terrorist, you'd think somebody would claim it by now. " Not if it's some young bucks, like some, you know, angry children or something like that, you know, emotionally unstable.

The only thing they did say is that the inside of the car was on fire first. Odd. So, maybe somebody left their cigar in the ashtray next to a paper cup or something. Hard to do.

Yeah, a cigar wouldn't work. You'd need some sort of like accelerant in there really to do it. Well, they had a glass of gasoline sitting in the car. I mean, if that's the case, that's possible.

Lighter fluid. I think they had a small glass of the prickly pear. With the pickle juice that's left over from the fried pickles. Right next to the pickles that they ate.

Apparently, it's highly flammable. 24 pickles they had. Like mixing napalm. Yeah, it's wild.

So, to be determined, we don't know what happened, but car, kaplooey. We'll try to keep up on it, but they're not saying what it was. I figured by now they would know why. Oh, they know.

No, that's what I mean. Like, at this point, they do know there's a reason why they're not releasing. We believe they know. We believe.

Allegedly. Yes. Yeah, they know whose car it was, what started it. Yeah.

Fire inspectors are amazing. The time that I accidentally burnt down our boss's office, the fire inspector walked in, looked around like this. " And that guy just walked out. Oh.

Yep. They're smart. And who threw out that cigarette, Greg? Yeah, we don't discuss that.

Who threw out that cigarette? Oh. Statue of Limitation's probably up on arson by now. Yeah.

Yeah. Who did it? If you'd like to admit to it here on the Cigar Hustler Podcast. What's his name?

It was like $120,000 worth of damage. It stayed confined to the office, but it was bad. You're leaving the country and everything, it's a perfect time to admit to it, Greg. Yeah.

So who did it, Greg? Tango Plata. Who did it? Tango Plata.

Tango, Mr. Tango Plata, Mr. Tango Plata, Interesting. All right, Greg's heading to the airport today.

Greg, what if you could skip the security lines at the airport by getting a pat down and bag check at a remote location? No, that wouldn't work for me. Why not? Because of the way that my wife travels.

Like, we arrive at the airport all of five, six minutes before they start boarding. It's TSA, pre-check, all that, and, you know, as we're walking onto the plane, we are the last ones walking through the door and everyone is just very angry at us. How can you travel like that? You just don't care.

If you miss the flight, you miss the flight. Tango Plata. Yeah, you just call the private jet in and they just come and pick you up. There is no private jet.

You can have one on standby just in case you miss the flight. He's actually built his own airline, it's called Triple G Airlines. Triple G Airlines. Yeah, it's incredible.

Yeah. Well, anyway, that's what some travelers flying out of Logan Airport in Boston will be able to do starting June 1st as the TSA attempts to relieve congestion inside the terminal at a drop-off point. Okay. So they have a building off-site.

That makes no sense. So you're going to get checked off-site, travel outside of a building, potentially obtain something that you shouldn't have, and then just walk on. No dummy. That's not how it works.

If we can put it on... Well, I'm sorry. I cut you off. You go to a place and you get in a bus and something like that.

Right. The initiative could expand eight airports that have been approved for TSA's straight-to-gate pilot program, but for now it's just being tested at Logan, that's 25 miles from Logan and less than a mile from, I don't know why they say this, three Duncan spots, but initially it would only be for Delta. Because it's in Boston. Oh, I gotcha.

m. m. Here's how it will work, Greg. Thank you.

Once you check in to clear security, a $9 shuttle will take you to the airport. Keep to the airport. Okay. The last 45 minutes shuttle or longer in Russia.

Oh, the shuttle lasts 45 minutes or longer, depending on if it's Russia or not. This is why it doesn't work for us. " Like, she wants to get out of line to go and get a drink. Oh.

Because she wants to be the absolute last person on the plane. Why is that? Why is that? She just doesn't like standing in line.

It's a line of five people. Yeah, no, that doesn't like it. Yeah, it's just five people. I'm telling you, it has happened.

You thought about traveling with a hammer. It's a nice... Move on. A small one.

Small. Yeah, just a small get-back-in-line hammer. One-ten scale. Right.

The little ones the kids get. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's a nice little...

Alright, parking at the off-site facility, $7 a day, so that's cheap. Yeah, that is very inexpensive. You and your checked bags will be dropped beyond all the suckers who are still online at security and can't get their hands on Aunt Annie's pretzels. Boy, there's a lot of food references in this story.

Because that's also at... Is that a Boston thing? Well, no, that's in a lot of major airports, Aunt Annie's pretzels. In this is the future, David Sundy, the CEO of Landline, the company that runs the shuttles.

Sure think so, he told the points guy that with the airport running out of room, to build, offsite screening is becoming more and more necessary. What do you think of this, Greg? Why don't you just build the airport bigger and have more TSA people be able to check you in? Like, it doesn't make sense to me.

Have you ever traveled to a major city? Yeah, I intentionally will not go to Atlanta. Okay. That airport is just...

Too big? No, it's just garbage. It's garbage? It's garbage.

There are way too many people. It's the epicenter of the travel world. For Delta. Yeah.

No. We did it once and I told my wife, next time we will drive, it will be better. Never again. Never again.

When we went to China and coming back into Hong Kong, did we go right to the airport? Because they have this kind of thing set up for the airport in Hong Kong. We did. And actually the second worst experience I had was traveling home from Japan.

It was almost as bad as Atlanta as far as the line to be checked in. The line to be checked in was almost four hours. S. or in Japan?

That was flying from Japan to the United States. Got it. Because it's just so many people. When I took Adrian, we missed the connection in Japan, and it was terrible.

Yeah, it's horrible. I mean, she was getting mad, so they brought Army to stand behind the guy, the ticket gun. The line went all the way around the exterior of this massive building, and the line was so long. you question you like you step up you get to the end of line you tap the person on the shoulder is this the line to be checked in through tsa yes are you sure because this is seven miles long this makes no sense yeah oh triple g son yes he is i immediately asked can i just pay to go to the front of the line right right how much tango plata tango plata no wrong no no tango plata no you stay like everybody is stay in line Like the rest of the heathens.

Like all of us. We don't like Americans. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. I don't either.

I think that like a lot of sports teams will do something like that where they'll get TSA pre-checked at their stadium wherever they practice. Right. And then they get on the bus. So, you know, they get to skip a lot of things that way, you know.

That'd be great. You park, you go in, you get checked in, you dump your luggage right there. Yeah. There's some hotels in Hong Kong where you can check your luggage at the hotel.

Oh, that's nice. And they take it to the airport. Yeah, that's what Greg's used to that. Yeah, that's the kind of service Greg gets.

Those sort of places. No, when we travel we don't check luggage, we just take a backpack. Do you bring a toothbrush? Usually.

Just one and share? Yeah, she hates that. She hates sharing toothbrushes? She hates sharing a toothbrush, it's super weird.

Yeah. That's where she draws the line. Yeah. You guys share underwear?

That's middle. No, deodorant. You shared deodorant? Yeah, but I didn't know this.

So about- You didn't know she shared your deodorant? " No wonder it went down so fast. Okay. This is getting super weird.

So do you- It's on my spreadsheet now, I have to put down two uses every day. Oh, okay, that makes sense. Yeah, this has changed everything for me dramatically. I don't have to read with a mask.

So is it feminine deodorant? No, no, it's Old Spice. Secret? No, it's Old Spice.

She smells manly. It's manly deodorant. It was quite perplexing to me when I discovered it. Having your wife smell like Old Spice.

It's telling us more about you than it is about her, to be honest. In what way? You prefer masculine scents. Women to smell manly.

Yeah, I do prefer... Does she wear root cologne? You do prefer to smell like two? Masculine scents on me.

I didn't realize that my wife was putting on Old Spice. And Old Spice. Well, when you smell her, you just thought it was yours? She wears a lot of perfume.

Brut? No, it's not Brut. I like karate. This is our cologne.

A little Dracar Noir there, you know, kicking it old school. Polo? Polo. I like my CK1.

Honey, what is it? It's amazing. It's Polo. It's ours.

It's ours. I got it from your drawer. I can't wait for the fan out on this one. It's going to be epic.

So, I mean, how big a backpack are you taking? Well, I mean... Do you look like those hippie heathens that, you know... No, it's not.

That's a giant backpack and you've got a bucket hat on? That's correct. No, it's not a massive backpack at all because, you know... The Jesus sandals?

What are you bringing? You're bringing five black t-shirts, a hat, a jacket, two jeans... Are they our black t-shirts too? No, she has her own backpack.

With her black t-shirts. I have no idea what goes inside her backpack. I have no idea. Yeah, that's not true.

This is the one backpack and it's our backpack. No, there are two backpacks. It's an hour backpack. Honey, I'm out of shirts.

I'm not. I just finished wearing yours. These are our black shoes. Mine will not fit you.

Okay. Underwear? Do you share underwear? Yeah.

Well, no, you don't share underwear. I already asked that question. I already asked that question. Oh, did you already ask the underwear question?

Yeah, I said no. I'm very excited. Yeah. Gotta keep up.

Wow. Okay. I'm still trying to picture Greg with just a backpack. It's just a backpack.

Jesus sandals, cutoffs. No, no, no. We travel, I mean, boots. He wears the boots.

Boots in the bathing suit. He does have a pair of flip-flops. Tango Plaza. Only solo boot-o.

Solo boot-o. Maybe when he gets out of the country, he goes, you know, rogue or whatever it is. Goes native? No.

I mean, like, if we go to the beach, I'll wear sandals, but that's about the only justifiable reason to wear sandals for me outside of the house. How often do you go to the beach? Actually, we were just there this weekend. Wore sandals.

He could barely walk on Monday. Because he was wearing the sandals? Well, that and he was jumping up and down in the ocean. They make me fall down.

Oh my God. They're very loose. I don't know what that means. I'm not used to the lightweight footwear.

Oh God. Well, who made the joke that when I take off all my jewelry, I walk around like this? I did. You did.

Did that make a short clip? It must have. Yeah, I guess so. He's walking around Peru with his hand in it.

Yeah. Yes, sir, you have a question? No, no, no, no, no, no. I just use the extra weight, sorry.

Didn't wear the watch today. No, no, I just know how we travel, and I know that if I bring my jewelry, the TSA will slow us down and we'll miss our plane. Well, he's afraid he'll get robbed. Yeah, yeah, that too.

When you go to Peru, are you going to wear the blanket with the hole in the middle for your shirt? No. I can't remember where that thing's called. A poncho?

Poncho, that would be, eh, probably close enough. Sombrero? No. A little black cowboy hat?

No. But the flat one, like a bullfatter? It's jeans, a black t-shirt, and a ball cap. Aren't you going to be hot with jeans?

It's got to be hot there. Actually, it's relatively cool there right now. Yeah, you got to understand, he's got to minimize his accessories because he has to carry massively large amounts of cash with him wherever he goes, so he doesn't, you know. Tango Plata.

Tango Plata. That's right. All right, the United States charged Castro with conspiracy to kill Americans in an attack against civilian pilots who are trying to rescue people. Castro.

The 90-year-old Castro. Ah. The one that used to be in charge a long time ago. Okay.

" It's like 20 years ago. No statute of limitation on killing Americans. No, no, no, no. I mean, what are we gonna do now?

It's not like he's here. I still want to know what's going on, what happened on that damn island, but meanwhile, we're going to go after this 90-year-old. Yeah, I mean... You're talking about the Epstein island?

That's correct. Yeah. He's going to be dead soon. Yeah, we don't get to talk about it.

This is the guy with the trucker hat that just hangs out and doesn't do anything anymore. Hmm. Are they going to send the SEAL Team 12 down and just snatch this guy up? They can do that.

They're going to cart him out. Well, we've done it before, yes. They can do that. That was pretty impressive.

I don't see the sense in it. You know what I mean? At this point, I think that you could just throw a rock at Cuba, and they may just, we concede, we're done, we have no gas, there's no food, there's no food, and you want this guy? Come get him.

This is ours. This is ours. Mm-hmm. The allegations date back to 1996, accusing Castro of ordering Cuban fighter pilots.

They have fighters? Fighter pilots? Well, they have paper airplanes. Oh.

And what they do is they get in them and they say, brrrr. Hmm. Yeah. s military actions in cuba following trump's repeated threats against the island nation except he said that there will be no escalations because we want this guy Again, why now?

I love Cuba. Yeah, like all of a sudden. Why now? They've been investigating this since 1996, and they found out he did say, shoot down Tango Blada.

Look, you know, I don't, I honestly, I don't know, but here's what I, it sounds to me, it's speculative here, but it sounds like it's just a big thing where he's just trying to take pieces off the board so that America has more power globally, right? You remove Venezuela, you try and restructure Cuba, and, you know, at that point, you've really kind of solidified, but what the hell do I know? I mean, whatever. Well, this guy's not in charge of anything.

He's just a crotchety old man. I know, it's like, but hey, but what else are we going to talk about when it comes to Cuba? Oh, yeah, well, we hate this guy now. You know what I mean?

Like... Oh, okay, we're mad at this guy. Let's go get him. We're just trying to keep, we're just trying to keep the tempo up to not, you know...

Since there's not a Castro really in charge anymore, let's go find one that's still alive. Straight of Hormuz, no, no, no, let's talk about Cuba. Let's talk about Cuba. It's a lot closer.

It's so much cheaper to get somebody from that one. Yeah. What do you think, Greg? You got ash all over your shirt, by the way.

Oh, thank you. Yeah, that's what this guy's supposed to do. Appreciate it. Yep.

Yes. One more. Well, if they're just going after Castro's, I hope they don't go after our Castro upstairs. I mean, we see him every day.

It'd be horrible. He might be related. Could be. I don't think he shot anybody down.

No. He's always on the phone, though. Well, ordering things shut down. He's very lonely.

Nobody listens. Super weird. And he's always cold. He's very cold.

Very cold. Very cold. I heard he was sitting out front of the deck shirtless, though, one day. That has happened before.

Yeah. Warming up. That has happened. Right.

Like an iguana. Right. Laying out there. Oh, that's so nice.

All right, Michael, you got a video? I do not. Oh. Greg, you got a video?

I do not have a video. Nobody has a video. No. I'm still living in DEFCON 2 over here for all the things that are going wrong with the website We'll take a look at the website and wholesale distribution and flooding.

Water lines breaking. It's been a great week. And Greg's leaving the country. And Greg's going to go on vacation.

Right. See you later. He's been taxed with all the extra things he has to do. To be fair, this was scheduled long before the water line broke.

Oh my God, there's so many problems going on. You know what? I'm going to get the hell out of here. That's exactly how it unfolded.

Honey, can we move it up a day maybe? I can't wait any longer. Can we extend it a month? There's a lot of turbulence going on at Cigar Hustle.

Can we just get the hell out of here? If you missed the flight on the way home, nobody will think anything about it. Yeah, they'll say, "Oh, you're not going to believe this. My wife, she didn't get in line.

She hated it. " That's what all that story was. It was a setup for me not coming out. Yeah, he's prepping it.

He's prepping it. Now he's a Peruvian King. He takes over the country now? King Tango Plata.

I'm going to buy his royals. I live here now. This is mine. I bought the mountain.

Mucho Triple G. Mucho, Triple G! Viaje C4 T&T returns for 2026. Yes, it is.

July 4th isn't that far away, and two Viaje cigars that are typically released around the holiday will soon return to shelves. " I said Cigar News. Did you? You were talking about Tango Plata's money and stuff.

Oh, I get lost in the Peruvian King? Yes. The company has announced that the Viaje C4 and T&T will both ship to stores this month. This month, a Viaje spokesperson said that the cigars are the same as their most recent release.

We didn't change a thing. They're exactly the same as last year. Which was it? Oh, they're exactly the same as 2023 cigars.

Uh-huh. Those cigars sell though. Yeah, they do. Um, you don't know what you're talking about.

The, the Viaje, this, this particular one, we actually skipped. And the reason why we skipped it is because the quantities are so massive that we struggle to move all of it. You mean the box count quantities? Correct.

Yeah, that's a huge, it's a crate. You know, normally for, for us, what we find tracks the best when it comes to Viaje is it, they are sold by the box. Like you have X amount of customers that like to purchase the whole box, but a lot of these guys, they don't want to purchase the big 50 count box of the TNT or the C4. So you start to part it out and when you part it out, you may, you know, you sell some singles.

at that point they don't buy a big quantity they'll buy onesie twosies and you wind up sitting on 20 or 30 of them so uh it just doesn't make sense at least uh that's just my strategy behind it so i you know and i love viaje i think viaje makes a lot of good stuff but uh i don't like to sit on stuff that's so i i passed on it we passed on it we passed so we will not be getting those no all right so let's just skip the rest of the story who cares usually you say hey are you getting this and then i usually say yes or no but right um so i just kind of got ahead of myself there and said we're not getting you gave a very good uh story i mean realistically i think that what they need to do is they need to if i would buy the same quantity of this cigar 20 boxes if they were 20 or 25 count oh so they come in 50 you would still buy - I would probably buy 50 cigars if they came in smaller-- - Yeah, so they got to make smaller crates. - Yeah, if they made smaller crates, I think that it would be better for them and better for the customer, because the customer would then purchase them. - What if we broke it up into smaller allotments and we sold them in tens? - I just explained that to you.

Since it's out of the box-- - Can we make a box? - I'm not making crates. It's bad enough I have to build this see-through light-up glass thing. - Oh, you've already been hit with that.

Is that what the blue lights are for upstairs? - No, no, no, no. But there's a, there's a thing that I have to build now. Yeah.

Yes, yes, yes. It'll, it'll be here in about an hour. It'll be here. Oh, no, actually, we have it.

It's over in the storage room. What'll be here in an hour? Uh, I thought he was bringing it with him, but we kept it. It's in storage.

Yeah, no, but that, no, but I want a big see-through one. Oh. Gotcha. I want, and you know, I don't have a hammer, so I look at him and I say, Greg, what do you think of this?

Maybe Kenny. Uh, well, you know, I like, Greg is my go-to on this. That's where I start with him, and then what it is is there's a there's a there's a clock that has kind of started. How long is the clock?

Don't tell him 'cause then he'll just drag it out. Yeah, it's six days. Yeah, I'll be back in six days. I was gonna say, Kenny will have it done by the time he gets back then.

So, it's seven days. Seven days. Oh, so you have another day, Greg. Yeah.

24. Okay. For most companies, the cigar price increasing 7% in the span of three years would not be unique, But Viaje rarely adjusts the prices of its cigars. Both cigars come in large boxes that hold 75 cigars.

Wow, that is a lot of cigars. Oh, yeah, it's not even 50. You see what I mean? 75.

Yeah, that's a lot of cigars. Designed to mimic crates of explosives for which its cigars are named after. This is the 10th release for TNT, which debuted in 2010 and has gotten subsequent releases in 2011, 12, 13, 15, 16, 19, 20, and 23. Does it state total production, Ron?

No, it does not. Never. Yeah, so realistically, I think if you broke it down, And if they went into three boxes of $25, you'd be better off. Yeah.

Well, we would be better off. Uh, so would they. They'd have another retailer buying. Right.

Oh. Everybody wins. That's what I'm all about, buddy. Everybody winning.

Tango Plata for everyone. Tango Plata all the way around. Perez Carrillo Deep Blue Limited Edition 2026 is shipping nationwide today. Ernie.

Did we get this one? No. Alright, we'll skip this story too. I saw the packaging on it.

It's pretty. It looks nice. It's pretty. You can talk about it.

Why don't you just talk about it? After making its debut at Smokey in South Florida in mid-March, the Perez Carrillo Deep Blue Limited Edition 2026 is shipping to other stores across the country today. What do we call this store? Let's call it Smokey.

S-M-O-K-E-E. Smokey. Smokey. Smokey.

Smokey. Cigar is a 6x56 Toro Extra with a blend that uses nobody makes just regular Toros anymore. Toro Grande, Toro Extra. You've got to do something new that's old.

The blender uses a wrapper from Jalapa, Nicaragua, and binder from Honduras, and fillers from Nicaragua. Pricing is set at? How much is this beautiful blue cigar? Greg?

Greg? $15. Damn, that's exactly what I was going to say. 50.

40 for one of the $2,500. $22 American. Yes. Freedom Dollars?

Freedom Dollars. Freedom Dollars. Greg doesn't like American measurements in dollars. Hmm.

Yes, he doesn't. I like American dollars. How long is it? How many feet are in a mile?

How many feet in a mile, Greg? I have to look that up. How many meters in a yard? No, that's not how it works.

Oh. That's how many feet are in a yard. Just paying attention to see if you were listening. Deep Blue is blended as a journey, says Ernie.

Journey, says Ernie. The company's founder in a press release, when the release was announced in March, the wrapper speaks first, the binder stabilizes, the fillers carry you deeper, it's a cigar about discovering what lies beneath, the company says the name was inspired both by the deep depths of the ocean and Hades, the Greek god of the dead and the king of the underworld, yeah we actually kind of talked about this before because Hades was never linked to blue until, I was going to say, Hades has really nothing to do with the water, no, more than Can it be Poseidon? Yes. Or Aquaman?

I mean, he has several options. The reference is deep, as in like deep underground. Yeah. So low.

But he didn't say deep underground, he said the water. Deep in the water. Well, once you go through the water, you eventually hit the ground, you gotta go deeper. Under the sea.

We don't know where the bottom of the ocean is. We don't? We don't know where the bottom of the ocean is. Nope.

We don't? Nope. How did we not figure that out? We have seen more of the moon than we have of the ocean.

That is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in my life. Look at us. There's a whole side of the moon that they just won't show you photos of, too. That's where the Transformers are.

That's where the Transformers are. That's where that monster is that they do in the Duracell commercials. Yeah, on the dark side of the moon. All right, it's time for the industry's favorite game: What's the Score?

By the way, Mikey won. Did he tell you when he played? Played... He played What's the Score?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, no. He likes to sit right there. Yeah, he told me. Oh, he even commented on the video, too.

So how did that go? Like, did we record him, or was it just because he was off mic, he was saying... I would say his score. He scored.

I didn't see that. So he would tell you the number and then you would repeat it? Yeah. Interesting.

What episode was that? I don't know. How the hell should we know? When he was here.

When they did leave, it was that episode. Okay. I think I can figure that out. You know what?

Just watch all of them. Right. There's only five a week. Plenty of time.

How long is the flight to Peru? Yeah. I sleep. First class?

You have your own door? Yeah, exactly. Put the legs up, head back. Put the legs up, it lays flat.

There's no legs up. Yeah, he's got the bed. Right. Do you have to, no, they have their own little pods that they share.

With a shower. Is it Peru Airlines? This is our bed. This is our bed now.

Air, that's what she said, she said, it's our bed. And you're like, no, we each have a bed. No, no. No, no.

We have the one. How are we going to do that? We only have the one deodorant. Yeah.

This is our bed. Oh, God. I love learning things about Greg's life. It's so odd.

It is. All right, this cigar, March 24, 2013. Brooks Whittington is the reviewer. It's the Alec Bradley, Honduras, Limited Edition Filthy Hooligan.

See, it's green, that's why there was a green comment in the, what's the score, green. Oh. I like to try to give these themes now. Very nice.

That's why your background's green? No, no, it's 'cause they have a blue jacket. Ah. I thought that that's what he was going to, Greg, to be honest.

No. 86. You son of a bitch, you gave him the spikes? Ha ha!

I just set it up the way I always did; I wouldn't pay attention. Uh, 85. It's the Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligans from Honduras, Tevaco de Oriente, rapper is Nicaraguan Candela, binder Honduras and Nicaraguan filler Nicaragua and Panama. It's a 6x50 Toro, $8.

They smoked... Two. 86. You said Brooks, right?

Yes. 85. The vanilla and nutmeg sweetness layered over the classic Candela grassiness made this way more interesting than most green cigars on the market. Mmm, interesting.

86. 85. Construction sounded solid overall. Once the burn corrected itself, the creamy oak and earthy profiles stayed consistent all the way through.

86 85 Clue number 3 The sweetness disappearing in the final third Seemed to hurt the balance Leaving behind a grassy pepper finish That didn't quite land That's the negative one 85 84 Damn it Final thought Candela cigars have always felt more like a cheap holiday gimmick than a serious blend. Designed to catch the eye of people looking for something green to match their St. Patrick's Day beer rather than smokers looking for an actual flavor. Unfortunately, the Alec Bradley filthy hooligan does very little to change that perception.

While there are brief moments where a faint sweetness tries to break through the overwhelming grass, hay, and woody notes, It never develops into anything truly enjoyable or memorable. Once that sweetness fades, the cigar becomes even more unbalanced, leaving behind a rough mix of pepper, bitterness, and grassy harshness that drags the experience down even further. In the end, it feels like the wrapper color was once again the priority, while the blend itself was an afterthought. Definitely not a cigar I'd ever reach for again, unless the goal was simply to smoke something green.

- Is that the final thought? No. - Yeah, that's the final thought. - Wow, wow.

- That's why it was kind of lengthy. - 76. - Wow. - 81.

- 85. - It's a great shot, you really need to put it in. - There it is, he did it. - You can turn it off now.

You can turn it off now, we have to pay for that Sparky stuff. Oh, did it go off by itself? No, I shut it off, and it worked well. " Oh.

Oh. You think I cheat? No, no, I was more concerned with Boots looking it up. Dude, I'm telling you, there's no way, he moved so hard.

Well, he always goes high, high, high. Why don't you just watch what he's doing with his phone, because it's not like he knows what the cigar is, he'll have to look it up. I'm reading, I can't see him. But my brother could watch to see if he's doing it in real time.

Half the time I'm not even watching or listening to what you're saying, I'm watching what he's doing to find out if I'm going in the right direction or not. He does text workers during the show and stuff at times. Well, you need to fucking take it so the little bags like they did with that concert, you know, you put your cell phones here. I think that he gets tired of me beating him all the time, and then all of a sudden he just nailed it.

Like, it came out of nowhere. Yeah, he's won all week almost. Yeah, it's been really weird. Well, I would say that he's probably cheating then.

Yeah. Just because of the statistical probability of him getting every single one for a week. Wow. Yeah, I mean, what's the odds he's going to hit all of them?

You think like his heart rate would go up while he's cheating? Like we could put like a lie detector on him? Put some sort of a monitor on him? Probably not.

Are you saying that we need to buy a lie detector? Or, just like a heart monitor above him that's measuring his heart rate, right? So if you see a spike in the heart rate, you're like, show me your hands, show me your hands. Yes, I like this.

Show me your hands. You had to do this the entire time. Right, make him give his hands up. Hands up.

Okay, anything else to add today? Nope, that is it. Okay, Tango Plata, we wish you a safe trip to Peru. We hope you have a lovely, lovely week.

weak and don't worry I'll deal with all of this. Thank you. Oh no, you said I'm in charge. Oh yeah, Palmer's in charge.

Palmer's in charge. I'll deal with everything. Yeah, you go ahead and you take care of that. How did we know if this episode was long enough?

Like the clock wasn't running. I'm looking at it. We don't have a clock anymore but if you look on the extra monitor there there's the red that is the actual Oh. Yeah.

So like I intentionally started a clock thinking that that was my job. Oh, good for you. Oh, okay. You're 10 seconds.

It broke. It finally stopped. We have lost a light And the timer in the last week. Things are just breaking.

Well, they're eight years old. Things are starting to wear out. Eight years. Eight long.

It'll be nine in January. Lovely years. Wow. Mm-hmm.

All right, guys. Go ahead. com swag where you can now pre-order 4th of July BDP. Limited supplies available.

Act now. All right, guys. Thanks. We gotta go.

Goodbye. Thanks. Bye.
