So, BDP is starting to roll out, and it's going very well, Michael. It's going very well. Good. I'm good.

It's very well received. I would say that over 4,000... I haven't had anybody complain. 500,000 cigars are out into the wild at least right now.

Oh, that's a lot. Yeah, so we're kind of rolling along. Good deal. Yeah.

So, I want to really kind of give you an idea and like just a glimpse, a small glimpse into my everyday life. Yes. And the shit that I have to deal with. Okay.

So, you know our friend Ronnie, right? Yeah, I do. Secreto Cigars. Yes, Ronnie.

Ronnie, my friend Ronnie. Yeah. He decided that he wanted to partake in the BDP. Yes.

He wanted to party. I heard he needed a little convincing. He did, he needed a little, he needed some cuppage. Yes.

He did need some cuppage. You know, he was hesitant at first. I can understand that. He's a box type.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, he gets... Boxes. He's very angry.

He's very angry if things come in bundles. He's very angry if things don't have UPC labels. Well, that's his dad. His dad doesn't like the UPC.

Yeah. He's very, very angry. So... But we love him.

Oh, yes. He's a very, very sweet man. He's a good guy. He's a very good guy.

He's my friend. It fits in your pocket. So, and he always, he always talks about this guy who works here, Chet. Yes, yes.

He loves Chet. Chet Rebellion or something. Chet Rebellion. Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. Well, Chet went ahead and handled his order. Oh, that's nice. Oh, he gave him the cup of stew from what I understand.

Yeah, yeah. There was a whole conversation. Oh, I love Chet so much. You know, you're so lucky to have him.

I said, yeah, I am lucky to have him. He's a great guy. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But there are some times when it's not so fortunate to have Chet.

Oh. Every once in a while, he makes some mistakes, right? Yes. So we completed Chet, Ronnie's order.

Yes. And we went to go charge his card. Chet went to go charge his card. Yes.

And instead of charging him $4,000... " Oh, the card got declined. Yes, the card got declined because he tried charging them $400,000. That's a lot of BDPs!

That is a lot of BDPs. It's a lot of them. So, today, we have Chet with us. Switch it in.

There you go. There he is. And we're gonna go ahead and link up and see if we can get Ronnie on the phone. He doesn't even know that we're calling.

Alright, hold on. Here we go. Alright, see if you can grab it. Everybody, welcome Chet Atwell to the show today.

Hello, Chet. Hello. I'm here to be thrown to the wolves. As we love, you know, it's part of the hustler.

Did I grab it? Yep. All right, let's see. Let's see if he answers.

You got to kind of cut him off and say, you're on the bucket. I don't know real quick. Will he answer? Not like he's busy.

He's not going to answer. He's probably doing push-ups. Pull-ups. He's a big pull-up guy.

We'll call him again. He's going, I am not answering, he's moving. Oh, it didn't work. Do it again, one more time, do it again.

If you call back-to-back, it means he knows it's important. Oh, that was sent to voicemail. Hold on, you want me to message him and beg for my... Hold on, he's texting.

On podcast, answer your phone. I'll just go ahead and put out my cigar on my face. Not on that new coaster, don't put it on the coaster. All right, we're gonna do it one more time here.

All right. Oh, Jeff might be off the hook. And if he says no, then he's probably pooping. Oh, he's pooping.

He just answers with an echo. I'm on, boy, when I'm on. But when I'm off. Damn.

You're very busy. Well, Ronnie, you know, this was your time. This was your chance. You're going to be on the show, Big Ron.

This was your chance. Okay. Give him some time. He might look forward to this.

" Oh. Wow. Super aggressive, Ron. What did you say to him?

He said, "On podcast. " Oh. Fuck off. Wow.

All right. Well... I may have to fly up to Michigan and do some... Apparently, to pay back the credit card, you're going to be washing cars and cutting grass.

" He didn't look to see what it said. Oh, podcast, right away. Oh, they must have Chad on there. Cigar Hostess, satellite location, how can I help you?

Oh, there he is. Hey, you're on a podcast. You're on a Cigar Hostess podcast. Hi, Ronnie.

Hi, Ronnie. Hi, Isha. How are you? Hi, buddy.

Finding out I'm not as smart as I thought I was. Okay. Okay. Oh, that's not, that's never good.

Chet feels the same way. I'm feeling the same way, Ronnie. Chet, did you take a gummy for breakfast? Listen, when I'm on, I'm on, but when I'm off...

Did you take a gummy for breakfast, Ronnie? I take a gummy for breakfast every day, Michael. Oh. It does the body good.

Does the body good. Maybe I should get some of these gummies. Well, apparently so. Well, Poshik Cigars had a $400,000 attempt transaction this week.

And I wanted to make it public knowledge and put you on the podcast with our dear friend, Chet, who charged said transaction. It declined because I have, but the reason it declined, just so you know that we have an alert feature that if it purchases over $400,000, it automatically. So 49 cents, 49 cents, set that alert, that's where the line is, that's the threshold. So next time you do three, nine, seven, zero, zero, zero.

Okay. You know, that decline, when I got that alert, you know, I was afraid to open it up because if you open it up, I think it's gonna go somewhere in China or Russia, they're gonna hack all my information and steal all $11 that I have for my name. So, the fact that I got that in the 11 dollars. I was gonna thank you for your support, but apparently...

When he said three bundles, I thought he meant 300 bundles. Yeah, yeah. So, I don't know. 3,000 bundles maybe.

No, had the name been Big Delicious Pussy or something like that, or Beautiful Delicious Pussy, I would have. Big Dick Palmer, no. Oh, are we on a podcast where there's no profanity? No, no, he's the only lucky one, we don't care.

I hope anyone that are out there, they encourage this, they came out with a cigar called Big Dick Palmer. I think they should have... Selling like crazy. Yeah.

Is it really? Yes. Yeah, it's doing well. It's going very well.

Mike couldn't sell me on it, actually, it took Chet to sell me on it. And that's what hurts me the most, is it? You're my boy, like of all people. Should have persuaded him for the $400,000, too.

People, man. And the thing is, there's no excuses. In the end, I should have checked the amount bar before I scrolled down and hit submit, but there was like a ton of things that went on, and I just, and instead of it deleting, the 400 was already on there, so I just added more 400s, like three times, and then that deleted, so then I added another 400, and luckily, like a third of those 400s went off the screen, because up until Until then, it was like 4 million. Oh, yeah.

We were almost retired here at Cigar Hustler. It's like a commission check would have been huge. Yeah, I would have shut the account down as soon as it went in. Close everything.

Close, close. Don't answer the phones. You know, if it would have went through, I know that you guys are super duper, like, super duper honest. " Of course.

We would have shipped you every cigar in the building and just closed the door. No, you know what? I actually, I think Mike Palmer and Chet would have done that. " Yeah, thank you very much for your support.

You don't remember being super high and ordering all these products from me? You ate too many gummies. Exactly. I would spin it on you for 100%, without question.

But Paul, is there ever really too many gummies in life? I mean, is that really a thing? Is that really a thing? No, not at all.

Not at $400,000. Not at all. I mean, if you think about it, if you opened up a thing of Sour Patch Kids, right? And they taste it equal, and they're the same amount of I am going in your tummy.

One gets too high, one doesn't. Right. You take that gamble, and you just eat them. 100%.

You know, I'm walking into my car. You know what you guys have encouraged me to do? What's that? If this was a video type of podcast thing, you guys would be seeing me walking into my car right now.

Uh huh. Because I have a tense moment, an order they botched sending it to me, which makes no sense, but I'm going to open up my car. You hear this pop? Yes.

That's the pop of the gummy. There you go. That's the gummy. One more, why not one more gummy?

One more. What the hell? One for the Gipper. So you guys call me on the show to humiliate me for my car being declined for $400,000.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. We called so I could just let you know that I was fed to the lions in the dungeon. This is the apology.

Yes, it's the apology. And if you see the video, you'll only see me waist up because the bottom half has already been chewed off. Yeah. Well, that's because you guys got somebody gloating in the building called Big Dick Palmer.

All right. So I insist nobody wears pants. I was just walking by a coffee shop. In fact, I was just, not a coffee shop, but that's Bobo Tea Place.

I was walking by it and I happened to say the word Big Dick Palmer and everybody's eyes lit up. Yeah. Oh, we've heard of him. The legend?

Yeah. So we're selling beautiful, delicious pizza. Um, we're hoping we're not targeting kids on that one, but we're, we're not going to be using the word Big Deck Palmer here. We're going to have a bunch of different signs.

We're going to send you guys pictures of all of our signs for those cigars. That's fantastic. Hey, as long as they sell. All right.

Well, whatever you want. Well, there you go. Thank you for having us on your podcast. I'm going to go to my regular schedule calling a company to ask them why they shorted me boxes.

And, uh, after they charged me, those transactions that went through, at least you guys, my transaction didn't go through and you didn't send me the product. In this case, they charged me and didn't send it. So thank you very much for having me. I love you.

We love you, too. And again, we're sorry as a whole, as a unit. Sorry, brother. Well, if you guys are looking for BDP Secreto in Michigan, we'll have some.

Oh, yeah, dude. Oh, and if BDP ever needs a fluff boy, I know one of them. Oh. And he'll go.

That was beautiful. And Frumpy's out. Oh, man, that is some cryptic stuff. He's interesting.

So there you go. You love him, man. I got to love him. It's over.

It wasn't as hard as I thought, it wasn't as bad as I thought. You know, you know what, it was, it's the gummies, because I can show you my texts? No, no, I... Super fucking aggressive, very angry.

One thing I've learned with him though, is he can come off like insanely dangerous. Yeah. But he's not dangerous, he's a soft villain, so he's reasonable. If I genuinely was like trying to jack him, oh, he'd take care of me.

I wouldn't have even showed up today. But because, I mean, he knows I would never do anything like that on purpose. But now we know, next time, 3970. Yes, three, now we know the number.

Yeah, that's where you want to be. Sweet. Retiree! All right, well, thank you for coming on the podcast, sir.

Sorry, King. I know that it's, hey, you know, hey, shit, shit happens, shit happens, brother, shit happens. Appreciate the effort, though, Jack. Hey, listen, BDP's got to go out one way or another.

That's it, that's it. This is what it is, I'll do what I got to do. And they almost all went to Secreto. Right, one big exclusive sale this week.

All sold out. Yeah, we would have to find other shit to sell him. Like, what else can we put in this box? Boxes.

All right, gentlemen. All right, brother. Have fun. All right.

See ya. Thank you. All right. So there you have it.

Oh. A little excitement for the weekend. Yeah, you know. I mean, whew.

He came in hot at me. I had to counter back with some tactical text in response. Chad's holding his ass as he leaves. So yeah, that was pretty entertaining.

Nice. It was pretty. How was your week, sir? How was your weekend?

What did we miss? Low-key weekend. We didn't do anything. No universal?

No, no. No universal. No universal? No.

Okay. Very nice. You, what did you do? Football on Friday.

Oh, yeah. You back to football? Yeah. Yeah, we did football.

You know, I lost my key player on defense. Somebody injured? No, no. He didn't come back this season because, you know.

Graduate? He has good parents, and the parents don't want him to commit to games and not be able to make all the practices and stuff like that. So they pulled him. Yeah, so it was a nail-biter.

We pulled it out. We made some adjustments, and, you know, we got some work to do, but we have a good team. We got some good kids again. A lot of them came back.

Did you win? Yep. Oh, we won. Is that the first game of the season?

It was. So we have 45 seconds left. You have a perfect season so far. Yeah, we're 1-0.

We have 45 seconds left, and they had just scored, And they're like, oh, we're going to score. We're going to go for the win. It's because they can either go for one point or go for two. I said, we're going to go for the win.

I'm like, fuck. And thank God for all the other people around me now, because like we have a couple other dads that are out there with me. And he's like, hey, you should just call timeout because if they score, we need to get down the field and score again. And I'm like, we're going to stop them.

I'm like, okay. Oh, but he's right. I know that he's right. Right.

Like, no, I'm stopping them here. And I'm thinking, okay, well, what if they, okay, you're timeout, timeout. So are you the head coach this year? No, no, but I'm running the defense.

Oh, okay. So called timeout and we stopped them, right? We fucking stopped them and I got to tell you, so then we got the ball back, right? So they got, made the one score, they didn't make the extra points or whatever, and we went right down the field again, scored again.

So that was, so even if they did score, you said whatever, well, it depends how much time they would have ate up. You said there wasn't a lot of time left. No, 45 seconds, right? So, um, and I got to tell you, man.

Justus, my son. Right, I'm familiar with the man. I know, but the world doesn't know. I think by now.

We have found another gear in running. Right, you mentioned that last week that he's faster. So, there was a, they had a breakaway run. We were all the way at the other side of the end zone, and we had a breakaway run.

And this kid was almost at the touchdown. And my fucking son, DK Metcalf, this cat, fucking ran him down and pulled the flag before they scored the touchdown. Yeah, it was super impressive. I wish I got it on tape, but you know, I mean, it's hard for me to record if I'm on the field.

Right, when you're screaming. So, yeah, when I'm screaming. Right. And then, you know, Jack's turn nine.

Can't set up the, oh, that's right, there was a party? No, not really. It was just kind of low-key. Saw all the decorations and...

Yeah, we decorated the house for him and stuff like that, and you know, his best friend came over, a couple of his best friends spent the night, and that was it. Just like, you know, a couple kids, nothing crazy. You know, um, he had a great time. He had a great time.

We, he went and did training this Saturday, you know, and then what did we do Sunday? I don't know what he did Sunday. Oh, we did the fake Easter. What's fake Easter?

Well, Bob, she, my mom was in town. Oh, so, you know, we got to do Easter at the same time because she's not coming back next week. Oh, so we went out for what I call a fake Easter. So we had a fake.

Oh, you went out to dinner? Yeah. Did you go to the Japanese place you hate? Oh, with the Luke's.

We tried. I tried to go to Hibachi. Oh, we did a Hibachi. I watched the house last night.

Oh. On my Blackstone. Oh, did you get the hat out? No.

No hat. Did you like ping, ping, ping, ping? You make noise and stuff? Uh, no, no.

I was out there by myself cooking. But that's what she wanted to have for dinner. Oh. And I upgraded my Traeger.

How did you upgrade your Traeger? I returned the other one to Costco because it's a piece of shit. Oh. Oh.

So you got a new one. Yeah. It was acting up. It was giving me a hard time.

So I got the bigger, nicer, fancier one. How does it act up? You put the things in the chute and you turn it on? You would think.

There's a push-to-ignite button, and the push-to-ignite wouldn't work. Oh! You can't just put the-- Not like you don't have lighters all over the house, just psst, psst, psst, psst. It doesn't work that way.

Oh, it doesn't reach? So they have one specifically, that was the specific one that they made for Costco or whatever. I just got the better one. I upgraded.

And the better one is fucking nice. It fixes a lot of problems, so I'm excited. And I almost broke my finger, or boots almost broke my finger when I was building it. Oh.

Our cameraman. Our cameraman. He was helpful all the way until I-- Then we about broke your finger. Yeah.

Oh. You know, you can only do so much. These things, they happen. I have nine other fingers, right, Boots?

I have nine more. Yeah. Just give me a thumb up. The broken thumb?

No, it was-- which one? It was the pinky. Oh, yeah. So we tilted it like idiots.

He's not entirely to blame. I'm to blame as well. I'm done playing as well. We tilted it because we lost the screw and the fucking thing, I thought the thing would hold up, it didn't, it came down and it was right on me.

I was like, duh, your voice is not good. But you know, I'm okay. I'll be all right. That's good.

Yeah. I'm glad you're okay. Thanks. It's nice.

Thanks. So, um, what do we got on the news? You want to jump news? We're only 20 minutes in.

Do we have an SBC review that you're going to talk about? Uh, yes, we do. Matter of fact. Excellent.

That's first on the list. Very exciting stuff. Should we go ahead and get started? I mean, there's nothing There's not a tremendous amount of news this week.

That's okay. But we do have a very long story to talk about, and a very short Florida story. Okay. Go ahead.

Hit it. From the four corners of the world, all the cigar industry news you could possibly need. The Cigar Hustler Podcast Report, with Mike Toon. The Powstanie SPC 20, through the years there have been an untold number of cigars That were either named after, inspired by, or meant to honor specific people, or even an entire group of people.

For example, Davidoff's AVO brand was inspired by AVO. My father released a cigar named Garcia & Garcia after the company's owners, Garcia & Garcia, makes sense, names the original six foot toes in Tatuade's brown label line, spell out Hunter, in reference to one of the company's founders, Pete Johnson's Dogs. Oh, nice, Pete Johnson's Dogs. Another cigar creation in the vein is the Powstanie SBC Series, or Surrounded by Champions, which debuted in 2016 with the appropriately named Powstanie SBC 16.

All the time, it was the brand's first limited edition creation that brothers Greg and Mike Szczepankewicz stated was a tribute to those who helped them establish the Powstanie brand. 5x46 Corona Gorda, and the total production numbers, which have remained the same across all three SBC editions. And so far, in addition, each of the SBC Cigars has been barber-pulled cigars, albeit made with different blends, they have been rolled at the fabricated, well, Nicasueno, located in Slea, Nicaragua. 5x46 barber-pulled cigar, made up of Ecuador and Habano as the primary wrapper, with Brazilian Matafina as the accenting wrapper.

Internally, both the binder and filler tobaccos were grown to Nicaragua. It's important to recognize the great accomplishments require the team to be successful, said the company in a press release. Too often we see success only as a face of a single man. Surrounded by champions is a cigar that pays homage to the people that made Powstanie possible.

The main ingredient of greatness is the rest of the team. It's very true. Now you scored a 90. Whoa!

You scored a 90. My goodness. That was fantastic. Congratulations, yes.

Yeah, you know, I didn't think I'd really care, and here I am with 90, like, yeah, that's right, god damn it. If it was 84, like, normally you get, if I got my solid B, my 88, or my 87s, but no, 90, that's an A. And that was Charlie too, I believe. No, it was Brooks.

Oh, was it Brooks? Yeah, Brooks is now my favorite at Half Wheel. Oh. It goes Brooks, Patrick, then Charlie.

Oh. Yeah, gotcha. Well, maybe Brooks, Charlie, then Patrick. I mean, Patrick really kind of hit me hard with that, the War Bear.

Oh, that's right. You know, he really pegged me. So, yeah, and then, like, all of a sudden, there was, like, this flurry of, you know, people reaching out. Hey, can I buy it?

I'm like, they've been gone for months. We didn't get any in the store. Somebody reached out to me. They want to buy a 16 or an 18.

Really? They need the collection. They all got to catch them all. They're like Pokemon.

Right, right, right, right. Makes sense. I don't think there's any 16s anyway. I may have some 16s here.

Oh, I thought that we had 18s, maybe. I think I have some 16s. Oh, so then we have no 18s. No, we don't have 18s.

Oh, it's 16s then. May or may not have 16s. There's the answer to your question. I don't want to say anything.

Man with no name. Well, I don't want everybody to... But yeah, I mean, how about that? Yeah, it's very good.

The 20. We have a little bit of an unboxing. We got a gift of the Surrounded by Champions thing. We got a gift from Adam and his lovely wife.

That's what their package they sent you a picture of. Oh, and we don't know what's in there. No, no. He reached out and said, "Hey, I sent you guys a package.

It shows delivered. And they go, oh, your name's not on it, that makes a lot of sense, I said we would open it on the show. Oh, from the acreage. So, if you would like to open it, supposedly there's something there for both of us.

Okay, let's check this out. Oh, apparently I'm working out. That's good. Oh, good for you.

I'm going to tell you, though, this is... I have a box in my collection. I've been smoking a fuck ton of BDPs lately. I know you have.

I know, you got very mad when there was a couple missing out of your stack. Yeah, I was super pissed walking into that. Well, I didn't know that was your personal stash. This is my no touching.

Well, the other... And someone touched it. Oh, wow. Oh, nice job, way to go, way to go there, Michael.

Oh, sorry, so sorry, those are Matty Cupcakes. I thought that was the one you've been pulling from for different things. I didn't know that was just your, 'cause the other ones are in a bag. Yeah, that bag is gone.

Even the bag? Yeah. You should just put them in a bag. And say no touchy, like the last time?

No touchy. Well, that didn't work that well. Oh. You know, everybody touchy.

I don't know. I just said I'm podcasting. What do you want from me? Oh, I didn't know if that's what he wanted.

Charlie text me. Charlie Monado? The Charlie Monado. He knows we're talking about him.

His ears are burning. His little Chinese ears are burning. Oh. How do you know Chinese?

You guys always say, "Look at the Chinese girl," I assumed. Who says that? I don't ever say that. All the time.

Never. All the time. You're a liar. I am not.

That is not okay. Okay, you cannot fucking-- Well, I don't say it. I love Charlie. We're friends now.

You don't get to fucking-- After the TPE, me and Charlie are friends. I do enough fucking trouble saying things by myself. I don't need you to fucking throw words into my mouth. Oh, sure, I'm making the-- Yeah.

Okay, whatever. I mean, it was Greg. It was Greg that said it. Oh, okay.

I don't believe that either. For the third time, Drew's Day will preview its newest line as a part of a multifaceted campaign that includes both in-store sampler packs and a virtual event. They're really leaning on these virtual events, aren't they? Yep.

It's just easier. Nothing is known about the cigar today, but the company is beginning to sell sampler packs that include three of the new cigars, but nobody knows what they are at all. 99 and include: three unbanded cigars, a Freestyle Live Cigar Case, Freestyle Live Cutter, Freestyle Live Wallet, a Fre-Wallet, that's new, Freestyle Live Bag. Oh, is it Velcro?

They will be revealed in about a month. On May 12th, Drew State will host a Freestyle Live again. Uh-huh. Special edition broadcast will announce a cigar and winners to various prizes.

They got some good prizes, though. You know what the prizes are? A Velcro wallet. No, no.

You get that when you buy the sampler. Oh. There's prizes you can win. Like last time they gave away the Bitcoins.

Uh-huh. This time it's something different. Is it an airplane? Oh, very close.

I would like a Learjet. Very close. The Freestyle Live badge includes a QR code that will serve as entry for the chance to win a variety of prizes. Prizes include: a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Sport, valued at $33,000, a Drew Estate Barrel Bar.

Oh, they stole that from Justin Andrews and Diesel. This says Freestyle all over it. Yeah, but that one said Diesel. Yeah, but that wasn't a barrel.

This is just a barrel. That was a barrel. No, it was a bar. It was a barrel bar.

No, it was a bar. It wasn't shit like a barrel. There's a bar for the barrel. It wasn't round.

For the barrel. No. Whiskey robot. Subculture Studios Travel Humidor.

For fuck's sake, stop changing the cameras. While the Freestyle Live event is a virtual event. I told you to lighten up. That's not lighting up.

Held on True State's media channels. Freestyle Live event packs will be sold in stores starting today. We don't, we don't, we don't have them here. Yeah, you know what?

The last thing we got were Willy face shields and little buttons. Oh, little face shields and buttons. That's what we got. So if you need your buttons, come see us.

Or a face shield because Florida's not doing that. From turning to the stores, packs are also entered a chance, wait, wait, wait, what? Stores that sell the packs are also entered to win, a chance to win. We could win something.

Oh no, we can't, we don't have anything. Even if we were in it, we'd never be. $7,500. And the winner is Cigar, oh fuck.

Nevermind, drawing again. Ooh, hey, listen to this. You get $7,500 in Drew Estate Credit, plus two Dream Seat Recliners. Oh.

I wonder if it's inflatable ones. Inflatable? No. I don't know.

Good job, cameraman. $2,500 in Drew Estate Credits, and a barrel bar. Nice. Another barrel bar.

Drew Estate, $1,000 in Drew Estate Credit, and a Drew Estate Mega Stand Bar. Oh, what that is. What's he, what's he leaving? He's done?

No, I told him, put the camera back on. Let's leave it there for a little bit. The Freestyle Line event is going to set off a chain reaction for the following up Freestyle Live special events on May 12th, due to the increase in packs we're putting on the streets. Oh, sorry.

I'll get it. The Freestyle Line event pack is going to set off a chain reaction for the following Freestyle Live special events on May 12th, due to the increase in packs we're putting on the streets, said Jonathan Drew, president and co-founder of Drew Estates in the press release. Trust me, you're going to be a posse turning in to try and guess what the new cigar could be. He's getting a little squeaky here these days, huh?

I forgot. I pulled the story just to do the voice. Oh, my goodness. I got a little excited.

I got consumed with the camera switching. Right. Manolo Quesada celebrates its 75th birthday. Quesada?

Yeah, him. I had to look at it twice. It's not like queso? Oh, it is queso.

Quesada. Quesada. There we go. Like the cheese.

Like the cheese. Like the cheese. Birthday with a special cheesy cigar. No, it's a regular cigar.

Manuel turned 75 years old yesterday and later this year. Here you might have the chance to smoke the Cigari Blended in honor of the occasion. Seventy-five, that's a good number. Who's our other friend that makes a cigar?

Quesada? No, no, we have another gentleman we talked about forever that's making a cigar. Eladio? Eladio!

Eladio! Eladio! I forgot Eladio's name, I feel bad, sorry, Eladio. Eladio, that's Davinoff, I think, or used to be.

Yes, he makes birthday cigars, too. He keeps them in his trunk. That's right. That's right.

The Manolo Quesada's 75th anniversary is a six and three-quarter of a 48-foot-tola. How the fuck does anybody talk to us at this point? I just don't under, anybody in the industry take us at all seriously. I just don't, I don't get it.

They don't at all. A Toro and a Churchill. Holy shit. Oh, it's a size between a Toro.

What's a size between a Toro and a Churchill? It's not quite a Toro. It's not quite a Churchill. A Churchill.

It's a Churchill. It's a Churchill. He uses an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Nice.

I don't know his voice, so I can't do his voice. No, you can't. Let's just throw something out there. Who gives a shit?

I have been very fortunate and blessed to have worked in the tobacco world for 63 years and for 48, what? 63 years, for 48 years? Oh, wait, what? I have worked in the tobacco world for 63 years and for 48 years in the cigar manufacturing side of the industry.

Doesn't that make him a lot older than 75? So he's 110 years older. 110. So maybe he's a Highlander.

It could be a vampire. It could be a vampire. Surprised as I was, I was celebrated my 75th birthday on April 10th, and I did it on my 70th birthday, I blended a cigar to mark the reaching this meaningful stage of my life. Wow.

It will have an MSRP of $15 per cigar, a dollar less than a BDP, a dollar more, sorry, a dollar more than a BDP. Hmm. Who now sell for $14 this Friday at Cigar Hustler. Oh.

Indeed it will. Going still somewhere, launching the 2022 PCA Convention Trade Show in Las Vegas. Oh, we should go see him ask for a birthday cigar. Oh, hey, you got that birthday?

Oh, you know what, we'll send Adrian. And then when he talks, we'll be like, you know what, we had no idea that's what it sounded like. It's not even close. You sound more like this.

This is your voice. This is your voice. Moving forward, Mr. Quesada, you must speak like this.

The Manolo's 75th anniversary is limited to 1,200 numbers of boxes of 10 cigars. But you can get at PCA. At the PCA. All right.

Southwest Airlines story, Michael, your favorite airline. Oh, your favorite airline, Southwest Airlines. Southwest, the Baby Grande Especial. Oh, I forgot, we should have called him, we can ask him.

Oh, we can still call him, dude, don't worry. No, no, no, let's do a story, it's a long story. Okay, let's see, let's see. Southwest Airlines passenger masturbated four times.

Oh. Mid-flight. I heard about this. Calls it kind of kinky.

Was it in Florida? No, no, we have a Florida story. Okay, okay. Feds Antonio Sherrod McGarrity.

Amazing. Leslie admitted to, oh, this is the guy. Yeah. Antonio McGarrity.

He called it kind of kinky. Allegedly admitted to the Ludax and said he asked the woman if it was okay beforehand. Yeah, she was recording him. Right, you'd think she wouldn't have a problem with it.

Wait, so he's like, I'm gonna... Only one person complained. The lady who's doing the video. Of course.

Yes, made the lighting with that. Hey, I'm gonna rub one out. Yeah, you wanna... Or four.

Four. How long was this flight? Four times. What kind of shows are they watching?

A nightmare passenger aboard a South Bay airline flight is banned from the airline for life. Oh, for life. Wow. See, that's what happens.

He's going to be on Allegiant next. I know you. After authorities say he pleasured himself four times with his genitals out in front of other passengers. Wow.

During a trip. Oh, here we go. Washington to Arizona. That's not that long.

Washington to Arizona. Yeah, no, it's like two hours. Two hours. Three hours, yeah.

Four times. Wow. If you take 30 minutes, take off, 30 minutes landing, that gives them like an hour. Maybe pop like a Viagra or some shit.

I don't know, worry about it being up, worry about the disbursement. I'm sure like come round three, it was just fucking dry air. Just fucking... That's why she got mad.

His penis was like, "Again? " What the chafing? Like, seriously, dude? Fuck.

You need to have a conversation. He said he thought it was kind of kinky that the woman next to him did not appear to be uncomfortable with it. But she was. According to court papers and officials, Antonio McGarrity is accused of committing lewd, indecent, or obscene acts while aboard the nearly three-hour flight Saturday.

Nearly three hours, so they're pushing it. Once an hour. So it's probably like two and a half hours. According to the federal criminal complaint, later made public, according to the court documents, McGarrity was sitting in seat 11F.

Don't sit in 11F anymore. Clean up on that one. You had to get priority. 3814 from Seattle, Washington, to Phoenix, Arizona, when he exposed his penis and masturbated while in view of the female passenger sitting next to him.

Wow. Oh, so maybe he had like windows, she had the aisle? I don't know. Didn't sound like emergency exit.

He didn't have a lot of room. Not a lot of room. His attorney, Madeline Mayer. Oh, you got a girl attorney.

Good move. Told Fox News, she looks forward to McGarrity's day in court. I bet you do. What's your defense?

I mean, for for sake, what's the, you know, what's the approach? She was okay with it? I mean, like, no, no, this is not, this is a public place. Oh, wait, we have a quote from her.

"Due process is a cornerstone of our legal system," she wrote in an email today. "This process ensures that Mr. " I don't think you could do that in part of the Constitution. Life, liberty, oh, pursuit of happiness!

There you go! Pursuit of happiness, there you go. That's like the 13th Amendment or something. 11-F is rather sticky.

Seated next to a woman, McGarrity allegedly waited until the flight had taken off, so that's 30 minutes off the beginning, before he lowered his pants and shorts and began pleasing himself with his genitals exposed, or genitalia, sorry, genitalia, the woman's seated in the seat 11E, oh, she's right next to him, oh yeah, she's right next to him, see you last, so it's A, B, C, D, E, F, so she's center, he's window. Everybody knows you can't get the camera out, like that's when she, like even when I was yelling at the one guy, I'm like, I'm looking around, making sure no one's recording, I'm like, since this guy's physical, I don't need any data. She snapped photos of some of the explicit acts and later complained and ultimately moved to a different seat on her plane where she looked at the photos to herself. Later, she told Phoenix Police Department Garrity masturbated on four separate occasions using both his left and right hand, well his hand got tired, his forearms were probably bothering him.

Yeah, I had to switch hands. See, she's an F, so the left hand would have been the better view for her. Yeah, but I don't know. She's like, you know.

Well, it goes DEF, so he was window. Right. She was center. She was center.

So, I mean, right had to, you know, that's a little uncomfortable. Hitting her arm. I mean, it almost had to come to a point where she was probably fucking using help with the arm or something. I don't know.

I mean, it's crazy. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly.

Southwest Airlines spokesman told Fox News on Tuesday, crew members stepped in as soon as they learned what was happening. After the fourth time? And then she moved. Right, they had to move.

Do you think she got like a free glass of wine out of that or something? Oh, they met him by arrival. He was exhausted. They immediately placed a passenger who exhibited the lewd behavior on our no-fly list, resulting in a lifetime ban from traveling on Southwest Airlines.

We at Southwest do not permit masturbatoriums on what the fuck said CEO of Southwest. The FBI later interviewed McGarrity, which he admitted to the lewd behavior and said he had reached orgasm. He went on to, well, from the pictures. So wait a second, and the FBI, the question was, well, did you peak?

I mean, like, how did you finish? If he said no, do they give him a couple of minutes by himself? Wow. The blue balls, if he didn't get the finish, he'd be all backed up.

Oh my goodness. He went on to say he knew the woman was aware of what he was doing. Well, she's sitting right next to him, of course, she was aware, and he kept hitting her with his elbow. Allegedly.

" The complaint states, McGarrity advised, he asked the female witness if she minded, he masturbates. " It really doesn't matter. The document clearly states he said he thought it was kind of kinky. Wow.

It's not like he had approval. Hey, can you airdrop me? Hey, I don't care, do what you want. " Just so you know.

Just so you know. No, this is her reaching up for the fucking stewardess. Maybe she's hitting the air. Flight attendant.

She's hitting the air button. Boom, boom, boom. Get me out of here. And it took three tries before they showed up.

For the love of God, help. All right, Michael, in Florida, there's a lot of things that will hurt you and kill you, Michael. There are. There are a lot of things.

Yes. You want the top 10 most dangerous creatures in Florida? Because we have a new addition to the list. Okay.

I would say top 10 most... I'm just going to read them to you. Will kill you? Um, hurt you.

These will hurt you. No, these will all kill you. These will all kill you. These will all kill you.

I would say like the coral snake is definitely on there. Snakes in general. Okay. Not specific.

The brown recluse spider? The spiders? Yes, spiders are on there, yes. Okay.

That's two. Spiders, snakes. Ex-wives maybe? I don't know.

Alligators. Oh, yeah, alligators. Sharks. Sharks, yeah, yeah, sharks.

Florida black bears. Really? They count? They're on there?

Like a lot? No, you only got to kill one to make the list. No, that's it. Okay.

So the next Y's are definitely on that list. Sharks. Did I say sharks? Sharks.

You did say sharks. Sharks. Wild boars. Mmm.

That's not bad. Okay. Florida Panthers. Okay.

Nah. You ain't gonna run into those. I've seen one. In the wild.

Oh. I'm not dead, obviously, but that's all I saw one. Okay. Oh, we did panthers.

Fire ants. I got to get enough of them. Fire ants. You're allergic.

Yeah, one of those, right. Jellyfish. Oh, wow. Interesting.

And there's certain fish. Okay. But, this gentleman right here, insert photo, there's a photo right here. Now you see this caterpillar, caterpillar, caterpillar, caterpillar, caterpillar.

Caterpillar. Florida health fish say, "Don't touch it! " Oh. It's this little white spiny looking hairy guy.

I saw those. Yeah, well, there's black ones around forever, now there's a white one. Well, I saw these, these were, they were all over my car recently. Oh, yeah, yeah, that guy.

If you touch one, the caterpillar, oh wait, let's see, a white marker, they will cause welts and a rash and skin irritation. They won't kill you, but it's just very uncomfortable. Oh. But here's a tip, though.

If you do touch one, the caterpillar, and want to stop stinging, prevent a rash, cover the affected area with tape, and then rip it off. Oh. It pulls the spines out. Oh.

There's like that, there's that weed that does the same thing. Right. That you do the same thing. I've actually touched that said weed.

Oh, I all the time in the yard. It hurts like crazy. Yeah, it burns. And then you wash the air with soap and water and use ice and baking soda to stop the irritation.

There you go. Or just don't touch the fucking caterpillar. Well, sometimes you can't avoid it, like with the weed. Everybody knows what the weed looks like, but still, every once in a while, you hit it with the weed whacker or something and it flies back at you in the ankle.

Yeah, I try and grab it with like another leaf. I get two more leaves on my fingers and pull it out. Oh, I just run over the lawnmower. Oh.

Doesn't seem to bother dogs. Huh. Go figure. That's it.

That's all you got. That's it. Slow news day. There's a couple of new cigars out, but nothing too exciting.

It was a slow new day. I mean, the 90s was a big deal. Yes. Yes.

Yeah. Yes. And the Roma Craft release. And now we, and the Roma, yeah.

And now we have another reason why we don't fly Southwest. Right. You know what I mean? Don't sit in 11E.

11F. 11F. Well, you don't want E either. It had to be some blowback.

Right. Blow over, whatever. I mean, I'm not, I'm doing. I wonder if maybe at three he wouldn't have got in trouble.

Maybe it's the four time. She got up and moved halfway through, so it had to be less than two and a half. No, she moved at the end. It's not like he kept going after she moved.

He did it four times. And then she got up and moved. And then she complained. Right.

What, did she complain after the first one? It's not like he went right to number two. She was curious to see how far it'd go. You're a man.

It takes a few minutes, you know. And when he said that he was done. He had to eat the sandwich. That's when she reported.

Eat the sandwich, drink the juice, to get his energy out of God. No, they don't give sandwiches. Pretzels. He brought his own.

He probably had to bring his own lotion. He had this all-plant. He had to have this plant. Interesting.

How do you dry-rub four times on an airplane? I don't know. It's very dry there, anyway, with the pressure. The guy in his 20s?

I mean... I guess he'd have to be. I don't know. You like calling the show, Mr.

Kennedy. We'd love to have you on next week. You know what? He's got a civil case he's got to do.

He is going to call the show next week. Oh, really? Maybe he shouldn't call the show. Oh, I think he really should.

That could be a problem for us. I don't know. We'll spell the name wrong, just like we're doing the other thing. All right, this Friday is the BDP release party here at Cigar Hustler.

Yes, indeed it is. And you can buy them retail here locally. Yeah, you can buy them locally. Oh, we will have these BDP lighters for sale during the event.

Oh, very nice. Not the bobblehead, that's mine. No, not the bobblehead. Somebody tried to buy my hat.

Colonel Sanders. My BDP hat? This does not look like you. No, it doesn't, no.

Somebody wanted to buy my hat. Your hat? My BDP hat. Oh, yeah?

Yep. Did you sell it? No, it's mine. It's one of a kind.

Dude. I'm not like you. I don't sell everything I own, Michael. Go make another one.

Sell him the hat. Make the guy happy. No, no. He's fine.

He understands. He goes, well, it's not really my name anyway, he said. But maybe we should come out with the hats and stuff. A damn shame.

Maybe. Well, I just did. I told you to make more. Make more.

Tell him that one of the make more. Well, I had it made. Hmm. Okay.

All right. This has been an episode of the This is episode 223 of The Cigar Hustlers Podcast. I should have been a single. Oh, you think so?
