Hello.
Hey, is this Pete?
Hello.
Pete, so Mikey.
Hey, you're on the podcast.
How are you?
I thought he don't know.
What's up man?
How you doing?
I'm doing well, Sir.
I'm doing well.
So I just want to do a brief
review here for all our
listeners who are very intrigued
as to what has happened in our
life.
We needed a couple of Stillwell
boxes from you, and my brother
was contacting you and he
couldn't get in touch with you.
And he said my brother's like, I
don't know, I can't hear from.
So I text you.
I said, hey, you know, we really
need these for a customer.
What's going on?
And then you text me.
Shortly thereafter, actually,
the next day, I'm on it.
I'm in recovery.
Just got out of the hospital,
you insensitive prick.
I believe you called me an
insensitive prick.
Did.
I call you an insensitive.
Which is fine, you know, I'm OK
with that.
I but I do have a couple of
questions.
For one, I thought that the the
transgender operation was
outpatient at this point.
Was it?
Did they made you stayed
overnight?
It was an added Dick to me.
Everybody's doing.
It.
Oh.
Excellent.
Yeah.
Add a Dick, you.
Got an extra?
Add an inch.
Oh, add an inch, OK, there's
like a double dragon.
OK.
So you had to add an inch, OK.
I'm not.
I'm not double digging, no.
Not Devil did.
We have some special Middle
Eastern honey that supposedly.
Would fix that for you right
away.
So you're solo dicking, but you
added an inch, OK?
All right.
So that would take now it too.
Yeah.
And you know, so for one, I hope
that you're OK as long as that
where there was something that
was going on because I mean
knowing Pete Hernandez, you
could have been in the hospital,
but maybe you weren't and you're
just trying to make me feel
guilty about this sort of.
Thing No, actually I was in the
hospital.
I was in the hospital.
I had was operated.
Not this press Friday, but the
Friday before I had an abilical
hernia repair and dude, I was
another night for like 6 hours
and that.
Yeah, that local anesthesia
really knocks it out of you.
So the.
Longer you're under the, you
know, the harder kind of
mentally recover.
OK, so this was so.
There's a lot of lawsuits out
for that now, so I'll get you
the name next time.
So Morgan.
Morgan.
I'm thinking ahead exactly.
Right, you got playing all.
So this is Mike from Cigar Hus.
They're calling you just so you
know.
Oh, I just want to make sure
that, you know.
I'm not Mike Palmer's, the one
offered to help with the
lawsuit.
Yeah, this is and that's Palmer,
this is Phil and Phil is here as
well.
So just making sure that.
Are you still in the hospital?
Excuse me?
Are you still in the hospital?
No, no, no.
I was in the hospital for a
couple days.
I'm home now recovering and it's
it's the hardest part is just
getting over the exhaustion.
You get exhausted real easy.
Some days you feel good, some
days you kind of feel shitty.
But All in all, you know I'm out
and been out for a few days and
I should be heading back to
Clearwater in a couple weeks.
No, in about a week.
Access didn't have.
I mean, Miami do with the
birthday stair run did so.
No, maybe it was.
Maybe it was the birthday.
Stair run, so Groover got us a
Stillwells though, so it's.
So let me ask you something.
I mean, you have this.
Whole list of your retailers in
an e-mail like why don't you
say, hey Pete won't be available
it well, it's not like this was
an emergency, like you knew it
was going down.
Maybe you could have just told?
Yeah, well, I left the
voicemail.
I didn't think you know, I
didn't want to go ahead and you
know tell everyone and.
Yeah, he was.
I feel like I'm.
He wasn't going on a podcast to
announce it.
You could, you could have said.
Yeah.
I mean, you're in a submarine
for three.
I don't know.
Something sounds like he's into
something.
Well, now everybody knows.
Last time the submarine that
them happened, they didn't come
back.
Yeah, yeah, Deep.
Well, he didn't go the Titanic.
Yeah, that submarines gone.
OK, Podcast going along, buddy.
Yeah, you know that.
Run out of shit to talk about?
You got to.
Call me no the highlight of the
show it's called.
The podcast is great.
I mean, listen, you called me an
insensitive prick.
I had to call you back and see
what was going on, you know?
That was from the nurse.
He didn't even know he sent it.
Oh, the fucking nurse the.
Nurse did it, you insensitive
prick.
He's under the knife, yeah.
He's busy.
He's busy well.

OK, I expected more from the the
way you kept it.
Yeah, I did the insensitive
prick thing.
Yeah, it does only affect.
You, you know, here's the thing.
Here's.
The kind of agree with it.
Here's the problem.
You quit.
Tell us.
If I tell you that, then we
don't get the raw response.
That's true.
And that's the problem.
That's.
Yes, It wasn't like it was a
huge deal.
But you know, first of all, it's
a huge deal of Pete, right?
Piece is like, holy shit, what
the fuck, right.
Right.
Which I love.
That's why I love those
podcasts, right?
You know and and like he didn't
respond afterwards, I did get
the invoice for the Stilwell, so
I so he took care.
And throw right?
He took care of it, but it's.
Funny, he still got paid for the
surgery.
Yeah, you gotta get paid.
We never work Stillwells here,
so it had to be a big deal.
Better ride that Dunbarton
trade, baby.
Right.
So yeah, I, you know, I wanted
to put him on the spot a little
bit.
I wanted to, you know.
I got you.
I understand.
It was funny.
It was entertaining.
Make him pucker up his
buttholes, Mitch.
You know, right?
So.
All right.
Well, So what did we do?
What it what happened there?
We're gonna talk.
About how was your weekend?
We did, yeah.

Whole time for the show, we we.
We didn't see Phil.
We saw boots.

Yeah, yeah, I'm Phil then.
Good to go.
We saw the legendary Ronnie
Haisha, yes?
Very nice.
Thank you.
We put up to all of us.
At secreto Cigars.
The only thing Boots was
included in was the thank you.
We did the post Sonya release of
the Connecticut.
The world.
Release the world release, world
release started at Ronnie's and
what do you think man?
Yeah.
I think it went pretty well.
I think we had a good.
With what we you know the the
car show thing sort of put a
little dent in it but other
than.
That, yeah, but you know.
I think we did OK numbers wise.
I think it was pretty busy, you
know, a lot.
He had a lot of foot traffic,
yeah, throughout the day.
And that guy, he's a fucking
beast, man.
He can sell.
He can, yes, Yes, he.
Does you know what's really?
Yeah.
What's really what I heard
what's really remarkable.
First of all, we flew Delta.
You flew Spirit.
Yes.
And we were giving you a hard
time about flying Spirit.
Yes.
Yeah.
And then, of course, the 1D
flight that's delayed is ours.
It's yours, the only Delta
flight the whole day delayed.
Yeah, it was ours.
So we wound up being a couple
hours late, right?
To the World Release party.
Exactly right.
But you did bring Chet.
Yes, he was a machine.
Chet is a beast when it comes to
machine.
That guy can sell ice.
People were coming in and going,
yeah, I'd like to buy infused
cigar and he goes, OK, but why
don't you try this this?
Is infused.
This is infused.
Some people would go, OK, I'll
try one and he'd go, what you
say, 3 and he had him three and
the guy would walk the race or
go, OK, I'm buying three, I
guess.
And that's what Chet's good at.
He's very he's very good.
Hell, yes.
Yes.
I'm the old man.
Door Greeter.
Hi.
Welcome to Credo.
Have you met Jet?
Have you met Chet?
And then off he goes.
This is Ted.
This is Jet.
He can help you.
And then once I showed up, you
guys like, disappeared on me.
You're like.
We're tired.
Tiny.
Very tired.
And they're very early.
So, but we had to get We had to
make a phone call so Pops would
even let us in.
He didn't know me and Jed
Rosales showed up.
He called Ronnie.
Well, he called the shop,
thinking Pops would answer the
phone, but it goes right to
Ronnie's phone.
We're closed, right?
Now he called Pops, and Pops let
us in.
Hey, they're waiting at the
front door.
Yeah.
Hey there you.
We're all up at the glass going
Hello.
Pops was in there cleaning.
Pops like Nope.
Nope.
I know you people.
Not letting you in.
No, not letting you in.
Ronnie walked in with every
single customer into the human
art, too.
Yeah, they weren't leaving
without cigars in their.
Hand and well, you have to have
the code to get in the first
place.
Yeah, well, but he has a
release, he there's a release of
the Register.
Oh, pops just gave us a code.
Is that a thing there?
In that state you have to have
that.
No, I think it's Ronnie doesn't
let people can't go in there.
He doesn't know.
But Harriet Rebus, the same
thing.
Yeah, the other gentleman.
Oh, did it.
Yeah, oh.
Maybe.
Maybe he's got to be long.
Maybe.
I kind of like how Buffalo was
where they had to have a lock on
the door to separate the cigars
from the liquor or something
like that.
Yeah, maybe.
I don't know.
That's weird.
Every state's got their own
weird rules.
Yeah, now, this state, baby.
Nope.
We do have one of those locks,
but it's usually to keep people
in, not out.
Yeah, we, yeah.
It's, yeah, like a.
Big about you buy something.
Now you can't.
Pick something out.
I'm selling liquor out the
dumpster in the back.
Right.
Tomorrow we don't.
Something liquor has a dumpster
we don't.
Something.
Yeah, you just set it back
there.
Then they come.
They leave the money like good
Samaritans.
Under a rock.
Like good Samaritans.
Right.
Yes.
But nobody else deal with
nobody.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
For.
The guys buying liquor in a
dumpster, that type of, I mean,
he's gonna be a good person.
Right.
Yeah, she's got morals.
Right.
So yeah, man, I think it went
really.
Well, we can thank a couple of
people for coming.
We had J Bates showed up.
Yeah, well, I was gonna go, OK.
Oh, were you getting another
year ago?
No, go ahead, Andrew McCreary.
I mean, I didn't know.
I didn't know anybody.
McCreary.
There's a couple other names
that I.
KP was there.
KP Yeah, first time I met him in
person.
I like that guy.
He's funny.
I got to meet the boom hair on
guy.
The He's Ohio State Buckeye
former.
Yeah, I saw when I came in, I
didn't know that's that's sort
of where I would do back like,
oh, sports, I'm going to.
Super nice guy.
Yeah, bummer.
Walk away.
I'm gonna go sit down.
I mean, I met a lot of.
He thanked me and shook my
hands.
He left Brett Frye.
Oh yeah, Brett Frye.
College, right?
Yeah.
I mean MM they did the drive and
that was a long drive for them.
They think about driving to
Wisconsin.
Yeah, Terry Delamore was there,
too.
Does Bre just not like to fly?
I think it's just more
affordable, I guess.
Oh well.
That, yeah, you know.
Right.
You know, I was thinking about
that.
Like I don't know if it really
is.
You think about all the the gas
that goes into it, the wear and
tear on the tire.
Well, 9 hours.
Said he only stopped once so.
Right.
Yeah.
So it's not like he's got.
The best mileage car he's
driving, It was in a yeah, but
then he also.
Didn't have to rent a car,
that's true.
Yeah, that's the one thing it
does save.
You have to rent the car.
Yeah.
And I think he also, he was
saying that he likes to do the
drive because he likes to smoke
cigars and think and listen to,
yeah, music and stuff and drive
on the Open Rd.
So sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I think that that
is cool as shit personally, you
know, as a retailer and as a
brand owner manufacturer, right.
It's cool to fucking get
together with other retailers
that we're all kind of on the
same page.
We don't, we're all have our
different pages per se.
Is that our approach in
business, right?
But we're all on the same
fucking page, you understand?
Each other, Yeah, which is so.
Awesome.
To me I'm thinking fuck, because
sometimes.
We go into these places and the
guy's just completely different,
yeah.
He's in a different book now,
yeah.
Yeah, we'll.
Well, this is, yeah, we're.
This is.
We're not.
We'll never see you again.
Great.
Yeah, it was nice.
To meet you.
Right.
And then.
Yeah.
And then you leave.
Right.
But, you know, I mean, Brett
makes this trek, you know,
Ronnie makes it, right.
You know you got.
Nothing out of it, yeah.
Ronnie makes it a focal point
and he looks to beat the drum.
I mean, he's still a little.
He's still riding that Dun Derma
tip a little too hard if you ask
me.
But you know, yeah, it's.
I mean, hey, listen.
I can sell a lot of Dunbarton,
yeah, if he gets.
I mean, you know what's?
The number one thing you guys
sell like Dunbarton, We sell a
lot of Dunbarton, yeah.
What's #2?
And you go, uh, Crown Steve,
Soccer.
You know Steve Soccer?
Yeah, we've done dart.
You pay for the wedding.
Dunbarton, then Steve Soccer.
We sell that, he baptized.
Me the other Yeah.
But it's not like, like when
they first opened, like,
everybody's like, oh, I want
Dunbarton.
No, they built that up.
Yeah.
I mean.
Ronnie has a great ability to
promote and build a product,
right, you know.
As long as you're on the same
page with him, that's what's
important.
You know he didn't.
Instagram Live.
He was in the back.
Once we were there, I was a
little disappointed.
I wanted to be in.
He was pretty fucking.
For that one time I had to go
find him and that was the first
time he's open at the bar since
COVA second time.
Second time, second time, I
don't know what the other time,
Yeah, so we gotta go.
Run it back there again.
I want to do it again.
I Ronnie's, yeah.
When the street is open, Yeah,
just.
Do an event.
It doesn't have to necessarily
be a release, but just go go
back there again and do it
again.
I think that'd be awesome.
Yeah.
OK.
Maybe when it's cold.
All right, I can't go like.
Stupid.
Now you don't go to Detroit in
January.
Why not?
It's cold.
You probably never leave, bro.

you know?
Yeah, plane gets.
Snowed in, you're trapped.

There's a Blizzard and there's
no power.

But how awesome is that?
Industry dudes come up.
Yeah, I mean, Jack called me and
said, hey, how was the event?
I mean that, Tyler.
Sent us a nice good luck
message.
Well, this is a.
Big deal, bro.
But how awesome is that?
That's pretty fucking yeah.
You don't know.
We're kind of a big.
Deal, Michael.
I mean, listen, yeah, it's a
some we are, but then others you
can walk down the store.
They have no fun.
Yeah, I don't know who we are.
Well, those are.
They don't have a clue.
Well, when Hector was here last
week.
People Boots was trying.
To figure out if he was you know
he asked me if we got the invite
for the for the loud Palooza was
on a palooza.
I said yes, Jack called us the
day before and I go, but he just
gave us the to invite to invite
and Hector goes you guys roll
like six or seven now you guys
are like SEAL team when you show
up somewhere.
So it was, it's anybody you want
to bring is included.
And then Boots, his face lit up
and he goes, so excited, so
excited.
I like that guy.
You guys try?
He's a great guy.
I like Hector.
To keep things from boots all
the time.
So yes, I mean.
We were all as a squad.
It was a there's no one guy
coming, right?
There's no other company that
does that, I don't think, unless
Espanoza, I think is the only
other one that's close, yeah.
With the, with the, but they're
all company guys.
The squad that follows them
around, we're basically on our
own dime.
Yeah, for the most part, right?
I mean, I buy a sandwich.
Actually Ronnie.
Ronnie bought the sandwich.
Yeah, I didn't had to buy a
sandwich.
You didn't had to buy.
I covered breakfast.
Oh, oh, at the.
Hotel.
I did cover breakfast because I
paid for the hotel.
For the hotel, yes.
Yes, yeah, which.
That was a great breakfast, by
the way.
That was a nice bread there.
That wasn't.
I like Hampton Inns.
It was great talk and
everything.
Yeah.
Well, that I.
Yeah.
Bret's fucking hilarious, dude.
Are you kidding me?
Ronnie did pass out, yeah.
I have a.
Lovely photo.
We went to sleeping, we went to
a cigar store, but I'm not
doing.
I'm not gonna mention the cigar
store, but we went to a cigar
store where we hung out.
And yeah, you know what?
None of us tagged, tagged her
something, Yeah.
Nobody took any photos.
Nothing.
I I took one photo.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
But that's because Skip was
well, Boots did.
Yeah, boots.
Did That's because Skip was
saying that all the event ended
early and well, even.
Rosales coming and goes.
We started at noon, skip.
Yeah, it was 12 to seven.
It's 12:00 to 7:00.
It was a good nine hour thing
there, yeah.
It felt good though.
It felt like a good eight hour.
It felt like a good event, I
think it was. 7 hours I think,
because seven hours I think.
Because this event was like, you
know, as as I'm gonna say this,
maybe you're not gonna
understand, but it was more
organized in the fact of when
the customer would come in, you
would be able to touch them
right away and get them to the
humidor instead of them come in,
say hi to everybody, get lost
somewhere for a little bit and
then you got to go, oh, hey, I'm
the guy, you know, maybe, yeah,
you know, I think that's how.
The shop is set up, the design,
the overall layout, yeah, which
I.
Think the design was good.
Which is the way?
It works here too.
You walk in for an event,
there's a guy at the table,
right?
Right.
Hey, how are you?
You know, the other big thing
for me is working with good
retailers, men, and Ronnie is a
good retailer.
Bob Moore, Hogshead, he's a good
retailer.
These guys are fantastic at what
they do.
They work their ass off, they
cultivate the relationships and
that makes all the difference.
You know, if you walk into a
store and they expect you to do
all of it, that sucks, right?
You know, right.
Because more often than not,
they're not encouraging their
consumers about your products,
right?
You know, Ronnie said, look,
these good, These cigars are
fucking amazing.
This one's good for this reason.
This one's good for this reason.
Here, the Vitolas.
I like you need all, here's what
you need.
Or you can just buy the sampler
pack.
I have it all done for you.
And they're like, OK, right?
Yeah, let.
Me do it, yeah.
You just come to the register
and and Bob was the same way in
Hogshead.
He's like, hey, listen, you
know, this is this is this, this
is this, these are the ones I
love.
This is why I love them.
This is what I think I'll fit
your palette, the whole shebang.
Right, right.
Those are the guys I want to
work with.
Like I would much rather work
with 40 fucking badass retailers
than 250 accounts.
Just give me the 40.
The ones that believe in the
brand, the ones that will
promote the product.
I don't need the other ones.
Fuck them, right?
What?
The one order a year?
Great, right?
Well, I go there anyway.
Yeah, well, you know, your stuff
doesn't move.
You have you considered trying
to sell it?
Right.
All right.
You know what I mean?
Like, I've heard everything.
Look, I've.
I've given those excuses.
I know that they're full of
shit, right?
Yeah.
You know, like it.
My.
Flashing lights, sort of like I
can now if I told somebody as a
as a brand owner, manufacturer,
look, I put in everybody's hand,
you know, I told everybody that
they can't.
Say you didn't try when you were
there.
Are you meeting me halfway?
Is the real question.
What are you doing to build your
brand?
Because I'm fucking doing it.
Are you helping to build their
brand too, or no, Right.
Because if you're not, yeah,
Well, do you?
Yeah, It died.
It fucking died right on the
vine.
You thought that you were gonna
make the $1500 sale and then
fucking cocaine and hookers on
page two.
It's not.
It doesn't work that way, dude.
You got to continue to cultivate
and build and keep working.
You have to work your ass off
every day in this industry.
You do, right?
Right.
So that's what I want to work
with.
He's a.
Good retail.
He's gingerly touching things
over there like, I don't know
well.
I'm nervous to try to reset it.
Oh no.
Yeah.
Don't just let it go, just let
it go.
Something else shuts down,
right?
And we have no cameras, so.
I think this trip was.
I think it was a good trip.
Yeah.
Yeah, I I think it was a great
trip.
Right.
I.
Think it was a good kickoff for
the Posani Connecticut?
Yeah, right.
And then this week, this week,
we're gonna do the release here,
Pam.
Friday.
Another one in store, baby.
Here it is.
The Florida.
The Florida Release.
Maybe we can get.
I mean, there's a couple of guys
from the industry that live in
this state.
Yeah.
Who do you want?
John Carney.
Oh, you mean the guy who lives
in Winter Park?
It's 20 minutes away.
They won't show.
Yeah, like that.
He'll tell you that he's sick,
his kids sick, his dog sick.
Somebody's sick.
There was a guy.
That showed up, walked up my
friend that looked just like
John Carney.
That's the game we always play,
right?
Yeah, Jet.
I were looking here like John
Carney.
Well, that's the.
Well, yeah, but.
I mean, this guy looked enough
like we thought it might have
been him.
It could have been.
It could have been him.
But the wife was wrong and the
kid was wrong and he took his
glasses off.
We're like, Oh no, it's not him.
That's definitely not Junkar.
Definitely not Joker.
Howard G Howie Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, that guy always shows
up, yeah.
Well.
Last a couple of things.
He was out of town.
Daniel from Smoke in the Water
Maybe his his weekly trip.
That's kind of monthly trip
that's kind of South you're
going.
I mean, at that point you might
as well ask all of Miami to
come.
Oh, Jack, you're invited.
Yeah, Come on, Hector.
Just remember that invite.
We should invite Jack.
You have to.
Invite him.
Is he back?
Or is he still on his whirlwind?
It doesn't.
Matter you remember how this
works, Tyler should.
Come down, Tyler.
You should come down.
I'm gonna invite him right now.
You have to.
Because if not, you'll hear all
about it.
Oh, thanks for inviting me this
calling him too.
No, no.
I would call to be.
About, say, wow, this is we're
just doing a college show.
Never know who.
Nice.
Nice.
Will call.
This.
I don't know what this is at the
shop.
Hey, you want to do Phil?
Funds, facts when you're doing
that are invited.
So hey, but before you do that
real quick, thank you everybody
to coming out and we're really
grateful for everybody that
showed up and watching Phil put
on his mask is it's classic and
we know I really truly
appreciate all the support that
we have for the brand nationwide
and thank you guys for for
buying from Ronnie and you know
people who bought online, people
who came into the store, got to
hang out, got to meet a lot of
great people and you know we had
a fantastic time.
So thank you so much.
You're very nice man.
Oh yeah.

Good, good.

Angry.
Let's go.
You gotta get this lucid,
crunchy lucid or going.
Welcome the Cigar Hustlers
podcast feature Phil's Fun
Facts.
Hello peoples, Hello The Mask.
Is a little crooked so crunchy?
That's great and out of.
Foil and it's hard to.
Talk because the mask is smaller
than my.
Face your beard in there.
Is that why it's all crunchy?
You know?
It's just smaller.
Than my face.
I was looking at rape mysterios
luchador and like this is cut
out the bottom part for his chin
and stuff.
Oh is it?
Yeah, oh.
I wanted.
To do that, maybe we will.
Adjust that, maybe we should
trim it for all right.
I got the teeth in the.
Front form, here we go.
Quite on the.
Side sorry in the.
Cigar tobacco plants need about
12 hours a day of light every
day, so over the year they have
gone from sliding huge lighting.
Lighting.
Wow.
Sorry.
Is there a typo there?
Yeah, sorry from.
Lighting huge fire pits near the
tobacco to give more light to
today's technology of putting
huge spotlights on the plants
and then they entertain the
village children.
With shadow puppet shows every
night before bed.
That's amazing.
Wow.
I.
Didn't know that.
How do they not burn up all the
tobacco?
I don't know.
You should ask what time so oh,
that's what happened.
The puppet show went sideways,
went.
Sideways on there, huh?
That's terrible.
It's.
Poor guys.
He'll never let that down.
No, we'll never let that down at
all.
Right on to the.
I think one of the best catch
fire stories in the industry I
think was Aj's booth at PCA had
caught fire.
I tried at the PCA.
At the show, Yeah, yeah, a
couple.
Of years ago.
And they fucking hosed down
everything in this book.
They fucking they.
Had to close the show for half a
day to get the water stuff out.
Oh my God, I'm blue.
Somebody calling, hopefully
they.
Get the pan out.

world, go to my camera.

Black Starline Rosewood 1923
arrives in stores.
Black Starline cigars first
blend from Fabrica O Ovea Negra
is now arriving on shelves.
The new Rosewood 1923 is offered
in a single 6 by 48 Corona size.
It uses a Mexican San Andreas
rapper over in Ecuador, and
binder and fillers from the
Dominican Republic eat cigars in
MSRP of 1350.
Write that down and.
It's offered in boxes and
bundles of 20 cigars.
The cigars are sold in bundles
are listed on the price list as
1250 per cigar.
Oh, you can buy a bundle and a
box or a box.
I don't think we haven't listed
that way, do we?
No, that's wrong.
But I thought that actually is
right, it's right.
But we don't.
We don't sell.
We don't sell bundles.
We don't sell.
Bundles, not these.
We have bundles, cigars, but
it's lower quality bundles
cigars, correct?
Right.
I've always wanted to work with
Ovaya Negra.
I'm a huge fan of their cigars
and actually James Brown was one
of the first people I reached
out to when I was looking to
enter the cigar industry, said
Eric Bay, owner of Black Star
Saline Cigars and a press
release when the cigar was
announced in June.
I ended up with pages stuck
together OH, gaining Jb's
respect though with hard work
and persistence with what I have
done thus far with Agronosa
Leaf.
The name reference The Road
would Rosewood Massacre, which
killed between 7 and 27 people
and destroyed the entire town,
with the exception of a lone
general store. 7 to 27 people
and destroyed the whole town.
No, they killed between 7 and 27
people.
Oh, OK.
It was a long.
Time ago, they didn't keep
really good records, I say.
Some people live or some people
die.
We don't know Rosewood.
Was destroyed as part of the
racially motivated killings,
yeah.
Following lynching, black
residents of Roadwood begin
defending themselves against
attacks.
In response to their defenses,
white mobs came to the town and
raised the town and raised the
town, which had an independent
black community following the
massacre of the town was
abandoned.
Got to love his reading.
That's what it says.
OK, I offered to.
Let you The town was abandoned.
Town was abandoned.
Go on.
I love the name because it not
only pays homage to the 100 year
anniversary of the massacre, but
also pays homage to my
fraternity brother John
Singleton, who made a movie
about Rosewood in the early 90s.
And I am a member of the Greater
Beta chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi
Fraternity Inc and Singleton
passed away a few years ago.
Oh, that's so nice.
Two sizes.
Of Phosphoro Connecticut had the
storage when the Phosphoro

How do you say something?
That's Palacios.
PALACIOX, Palicia, Palacios
Place in Nicaragua.
The Corona Gorda got a soft
launch in April with just 2400
bundles released.
Mr. Rosales would like me
express his concern that he does
not make the cigar, but
everybody thinks he does because
he said they copied his logo.
His words, not me.
It's it's not exactly the same,
no.
They got the Big Mac.
Yeah, we got the.
Big Mac.
Jeff's got the Big Mac.
Yes, I understand.
But people were asking about it
at the event.
And he said people always ask
me, but no, we don't make it.
He just has our looks like our
logo.
It's brilliant.
It's brilliant, Jeff.
I love it.
Really, Jeff?
Great idea.

Police said that the oh wait,
where did you start?
Orlando, FL And accused oh
Orlando.
We have a Florida story.
OK, story.
An accused truck thief was
arrested on Thursday after
fleeing from Port Orange police
into a nearby canal, according
to the Police Department.
In a release, police said that
the officers tried to pull over
a truck that was towing a
trailer, though the truck
instead fled after letting the
passenger.
We're gonna run.
Get out with the trailer run.
Right, with the trailer.
Detectives said that the truck
had been reported stolen out of
Sumpner County, while the
trailer was reported stolen out
of Lake County.
So it's a tri-county thing.
Lake County?
Where's that Lake County?
Eustis out that way, so he made
it all the way to Port Orange.
Well, he probably stole the
truck and then went to go get
the trailer and then came back.
Wow, that guy is.
And picked, barely picked up, a
hitchhiker that he had to let
out.
Come on in, I've already fucked,
so I'll just pick you up.
Eventually the truck pulled into
a South end of Bushman Park near
the Commonwealth Blvd.
Driving through a locked gate
and into onto a walking path,
thereby or nearly striking a
person on the path, the release
shows.
Police said that the truck
continued to flee until the path
ended, which is where the driver
crashed the truck and ran off on
foot.
The driver?
40 year old Ray Norris.
No relation to Chuck Norris.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I saw the.
Guy No.
Yeah.
Maybe just let himself go
because, you know, he jumped.
Into a canal nearby and began
swimming away from police talk.
He just.
Keeps going, probably.
Fuck it.
Yeah, it just means it's not
funny.
That was the last time Ray
Norris ever did gummies.
It's not funny, officers.
