Cigar Hustlers Podcast Episode 300
Episode Summary
The Cigar Hustlers hit a milestone with episode 300, and Mike Szczepankiewicz ("King Mike"), Mike Palmer and Phil use it to celebrate the show's ad-free, Patreon-funded model before getting to the actual news. The big announcement — delivered live on Instagram — is that the Powstanie War Bear, a 5 3/4 x 46 box-pressed cigar with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and San Andrés binder, has begun shipping to retailers and is already close to selling out. The guys plug the War Bear world release event at Lake Country Cigars in Wisconsin on Thursday, September 28th, plus an HVC event later that week.
The episode is heavy on hangout content: birthday gifts for Palmer and Boots (a red light therapy lamp and Nike Pegasus running shoes), a live pocket-dial call from Palmer's wife Brittany itemizing his household failures, a Missouri wedding road trip, and recaps of two recent events — Cigars on the Ave and the newly rebranded Blend and Barrel (formerly Executive Cigars in Sanford), where the crew moved a lot of Powstanie.
On the news side, they cover RoMa Craft Tobac shipping the Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Revenuer (5 3/4 x 46 Corona Gorda, $8.50, boxes of 24, Ecuadorian Habano hybrid wrapper, Mexican San Andrés binder, Nicaraguan fillers from Condega, Jalapa and Pueblo Nuevo), which they smoke on air and offer a Patreon discount code for. They also cover the Alec Bradley Magic Toast 5th Anniversary and Post Embargo Blend Code B15 heading to stores via Forged Cigar Company, the origin story behind the Magic Toast name with Alan Rubin and Ralph Montero, Jim Young being named interim CEO and board member at Plasencia Cigars after his run at Davidoff, and the Sancho Panza Limited Edition (6x52 Toro, $12.99) blended by Matt Booth and Justin Andrews for Scandinavian Tobacco Group.
The back half veers into a lengthy, very NSFW riff on a bizarre Florida murder case, before wrapping with Shop of the Week (Lake Country Cigars) and Listener of the Week (Dexter Pollard).

So grab your favorite smoke, sit back, and join us for another exciting episode of the Cigar Hustlers Podcast. Oh, hello. You too can be going. Skip it.
All right, we'll just skip it. I think we should just get over it. All right. I don't really, you know, the more and more I thought about it.
Right? I don't really, I don't really, I don't really, I kind of pride myself, and I think we should pride ourselves on having no ads, no ads, no ads, no ads, because it would be nice to, as far as a little financial poof, right, yeah, it's still, you know what, it still isn't gonna be a lot of money, no, but we need new lights in here, we'll just, we'll just look awkwardly at, uh, we can put a Venmo up on the bottom of it or something, donate, like to donate to the light fund, maybe that'd be a That would be better. We'll just do a GoFundMe. Just a GoFundMe.
Yeah, we could every time we want to improve something. Yeah. GoFundMe for new lights in the studio. I think we would get action on that.
I think the Patreon does a pretty good job, too. Yeah. It definitely funds the account. Yeah.
So there's that. It keeps us running. Yeah. We pay rent.
Pay rent, pay the power, pay the Wi-Fi that doesn't work? I just don't. You know, the more and more I think about it, it really keeps us significantly different from The rest of them. You mean poor?
No, they're all poor too. Oh, well, they're poor with ads. What's that? Yeah, they're poor with ads.
They're doing something wrong. They're just doing more work. And... Yeah, I went to enter, how about that cigars contest, it said scroll to the bottom.
I had to pass like 75 ads to get to the click for the contest. Did you? And then I saw the Drew Estate blackened things, and I was like, pfft, no, it's a waste of time. I'm going to pass.
I don't need a blackened box of cigars. So yeah, I just, I feel like, as far as us being icons in the industry, because we are icons, well nice, that was a nice title, we are icons, iconic, we are iconic, need to add that to the intro, the iconic, there's a reason why we're number one Palmer, yes, and as far as the ads, I think that, that's not why, it's just, fuck 'em, I just feel like, if we took cigar ads, we'd be rich, we would be loaded, you kidding me, but we're not doing it. I will. No, you won't.
I'll take cigars. No, you won't. I'll take cigars, I'll smoke them on the show. Fill 'em bar.
Fill 'em bar. Well, we got, so, do you have any surprises for the 300th episode? No, I didn't have time, sir. I got back a lot later last night than I had anticipated, so there's no cake, no ice cream, no confetti from the ceiling.
Okay. Well, I have, in my hands... Yes? That just broke.
The War Bear. Delicious. The new War Bear. Yes.
Oh, you don't have to say that. We have that. The new war bear. Delicious.
We're going to be on camera too the whole time. Yeah. Oh, hi. Oh, hi.
The new war bear. So I want to do a quick Instagram live. Oh, good. Skip wanted us to go live.
So go live. This is for you, Skip. We're going live. Are we giving that away or something?
No, no, no. Just announcing it. Oh. Just announcing that we have war bears.
Just announcing that we are shipping. Oh, oh. We're now shipping. So is that why nobody pays for ads, so we can do free ones for your stuff?
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Yes. That makes complete sense, though. How do I do live?
You go to Instagram. Yeah. There it is live. And then look for the live button.
Call Ronnie. He does it all the time. Live. Let's see.
Three, two, one. They can't hear that. Yeah, they can't hear that. They can't hear that.
Dun, dun, dun, dun! Cigar Hustler Podcast! Oh, my goodness. Episode 300, 100, 100, 100.

We're a day late, but it'll be up today, I promise. Oh, you're doing it? That's nice. Skip has been riding Mr.
Palmer pretty hard this morning, but we're on it. But we're on it. We're on it. I just wanted to make a quick announcement and let everybody know that War Bear, yeah, 5 3⁄4 by 46 box press is shipping to a retailer near you.
Nice. They're almost gone already, which is kind of crazy. Wow, just started shipping this week? Yeah, just started shipping, and they're almost already sold out.
So make sure you stay on top of your retailer and make sure you get these things because they are badass. Apparently, we're killing Ronnie. Ronnie is blaming his dying when we were up there at Ambassador. And then I guess he smoked one last yesterday.
I gave him a couple. And again, he almost died. So he feels like it's the cigar that does it. So I feel like.
Smoke a lot of those, Ronnie. Ronnie, have three. We need you to have three or four back to back. But check this out.
Oh. Delicious. Ooh, delicious. It's the Box Press, 5 3/4 by 46, Ecuadorian Habano, San Andreas, Barbapol.
And that's really all I got for you guys, mister, but hey, listen to this podcast, it's our 300th episode, we got some birthday surprises here, 'cause there's some birthdays in the house. Iconic birthdays. Get ready for the War Bear, baby. Iconic birthdays.
Yeah, they're iconic birthdays. Get ready for the War Bear, 'cause it's coming, alright? Here it comes. Here it's our way.
That's all you get. Goodbye. Okay, that's it. No more.
But that was fun. All right, this has been episode 300. All right. Now we're on camera three of the rest of the show.
We are live on a Cigar Hustler's podcast. There you go, Skip. We were live. Hope you enjoyed the show.
Cigar Hustler. My back is really starting to hurt. Let's talk faster. Woke up this morning with it a little stiff.
Yeah, well, you were in a car for 75 hours. We used Waze, which is great, but on the way there, it took us, I think it was on a dirt road for a short period of time. I mean, it was ridiculous. Yeah, you guys went to Missouri.
Well, but normally you don't go on side roads if you use Google. So what do we got for the Patreon, sir? We're doing the Romacraft Tobac Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Revenuer. Ooh.
One of three remaining Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Patolas to be released has begun shipping to stores. Apparently, they're already here. Yeah, yeah. It's here.
So, it's here. It's longer. So... Really, Kadarius Tony, that.
Yeah, you did, for sure. So... Oh, my lighter's in the other room. I have a lighter for you.
It's kind of cattywampus. It doesn't work. But it's still here. There will be a Patreon discount.
Oh, you gotta wait. There will be a Patreon discount code for this if you're a Patreon member because I know some of you guys are very excited about this. This is one of my favorite sizes. Oh, there will be a Patreon code for this.
Oh, yeah, of course. Oh, nice. Uh-oh, my wife is calling me. Sure she is.
We're doing the show. Oh, let's see. This is definitely the right time. Hello, you're on the podcast.
Hello. Hello. Hello. Oh, you pocket dog.
You're on the podcast. Why? That's what everybody says. Do you want me to call you back?
No, what do you want? I was just calling you back to make sure that I wasn't in trouble. Uh, I mean, did you cold plunge today? I did cold plunge today, yes.
Did you red light? I did not red light today. Oh, you do? You got red light in your house now too?
Yeah. In trouble. While you're in the hot... But I forgot to fix the blow ups outside, and then she asked me to take out the ribs, I forgot to take out the ribs.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. I vacuumed. I vacuumed.
That's nice. So Jack's didn't empty the dishwasher this morning, but you couldn't do that. You just left your stuff in the sink. Yes.
In trouble. Wow. There's a lot of towels on the couch that could have been folded. Yes.
Unbelievable. He had a cold plunge. Right. There's that.
Unbelievable. I can't believe it. All right. Michael Joseph, fucking there, burn you with my smoke.
There's also an Amazon package on the counter with the code printed out, that you could have stopped by Kohl's and dropped it off, but you know what it is, it's the coffee grinder, for the coffee that I do not drink. Yeah, that's true, that's true. The cold brew that I make for you. But you do grind, you do grind for the coffee.
Yeah. Yeah, I do, 'cause the one at Costco broke, you know, grocery shopping. Appearance, construction, weight, price, taste, what am I missing? Yeah.
Yeah. Anything else? Well, hey, I apologize for my fuckery this morning. I will do better.
Tomorrow's another day. Tomorrow's another day. Fuck up something new tomorrow, Michael. Fuck up something new.
What's that movie, 51st Dates with Andrew Sandler? Yes. It's the fucking same thing every day. I have brain trauma, Brittany.
What do you want from me? TBI. Oh, my God. You got TBI.
I need to go because I'm actually, I have to get some work done before I go to Costco to get dog food. Oh, we're at a dog food too. I'm sure you walked by the empty bowls as you were leaving. Wow.
Then I had to pick up your children from school and take them all to get their flu shot. Oh, they must all be in trouble because they're your children. Well, hey. They're in trouble.
Well, they need something. Thank you very much for all that you do, and I love you very much. You're the best. Love you too.
Have a good day. Goodbye. Bye. If she could call in every week and just list your faults, that would be perfect.
It depends upon if I fire up or not, you know? Well, apparently all you have to do is leave the house. So today's like a really bad day for you, I mean, when are you not a fuck up today? Well, I felt really, you know, it's like, I feel like I do a pretty good job, but I dropped, I fucking just dropped the ball today, I don't know what happened.
You want to know really what the problem was? What was it? It's the Amazon package. It was the Amazon package?
Because now she's got to leave the house to take it to Kohl's. He will take it tomorrow. No, so I think that, so we got our Halloween decorations up already outside the blow ups. The floating candles?
Floating candles are up, so, and we had a bad storm last night, and everything fucking blew everywhere. It was a really bad storm. Everything blew everywhere. I didn't hear a thing.
We have a spider thing that covers the front door. Yeah. That blew off. Oh.
That's gone. That's like on the ground. And I meant to correct all those things today. But you cold plunged and red lighted instead.
I did not red light today. I just cold plunged. I cold plunged, and then she called me and said, She said, "Hey, take out the ribs," and I forgot to take out the ribs. So what happened was, so here's what happened.
It's a chain effect. Yeah. Because she was pulling up and she saw the fucking catastrophe across the yard, I was fucked. Oh, from there it just went down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah, I see. I see. So that's, that's that.
Sometimes we always hurt the people that are closest to us. You hurt the ones you love the most. 8 grams, sir. Now, Phil, I know Boots isn't here.
Can I get camera three, goddammit? Camera three. Thank you. But you guys do have birthdays on the same day.
Yes, Greg. Greg texted me. Greg goes, do you and Boots have the same birthday? I go, yeah.
How do I not know that? Trust me. We went through this with him. His is fatter.
Mine is longer. He made a comment at Boots' birthday party. Man, I guess I really don't pay attention. " They've been having parties for years at Cigar House.
That year, we had it together. Yeah. So, I got some presents for you guys. These are from Brittany and I and the family.
The crew? Yeah. The squad. Here you go.
Here you go. Holy crap, it's heavy. Go back to camera two. It is heavy.
Which one are we doing here? This is the... Are we opening yours first? Royal Olmestead.
What's that? Which Olmestead are we doing? We're doing the 1920s. We're doing it in the Revenure.
Revenure. I'm looking for it on the list to get the size. It's a 5 3/4 by 46 Corona Gorda. Oh.
Oh, look at you. You even did the little decal thing on these things. Actually, I didn't do that. That's, you know.
Britney? Yeah, Britney. Come on, look at that rapping. You kidding me?
You think I had anything to do with that? You're out of your mind. Go ahead, Palmer. I'll put it on you first.
She'd probably use your knife. Oh. All right. This is a home and home.
It's not the Green Tom Show, Urtah, Palmer, Palmer, Palmer, Palmer, Palmer, There you go, so, I won't bother to take it out of the box, but I am now doing red light therapy, so I want to, you know, I worry about you, sir, and your age, so, the therapeutic benefits of the red light therapy, it's over here, it's camera, I'm reading the back, though, Okay. Designed to provide effective and customizable treatment, this lamp offers multiple modes and convenience features to meet your every needs. Yeah. So that one's a little different from mine.
It's a little bit bougier. It comes with a stand and a timer. So, and it's got little, it has its own lights that you can kind of move around and stuff. So that way you can kind of, if you want to decide to sit on the couch and do it or whatever, do it like three times a week.
Somewhere between six to ten minutes. That's it? That's it. Nice.
Well, thank you. Yeah. That way you're not... We'll date stamp this show, and then we'll see what happens.
Yeah. If you start remembering things. It's a 300 show. All right.
Yeah, that's true. You can't. I was going with the date, not the actual number. You can't really fuck that up.
After 30 days, I bet you'd notice a difference. So it's supposed to help the memory? Yeah. Yes.
Yeah. It's supposed to do a lot of good things. I did see on Billings that he uses a blue light. Does he?
I wonder what the blue light's for. That's a good question. All right. Open yours.
Okay, it's going to take me a little while though. Switch to the other camera. Because I don't have a knife. Do you need a knife?
Well, use the blowtorch. We'll let him... You want me to burn it? Just burn the rope.
Where's your knife? It's in my pocket. There's scissors in that top drawer. I am lighting up my Revenuer right now.
Oh, five and three, there we go. We have fuel problems here. What did it weigh? 14 something?
8 grams, sir. Why does his mic always sound so damn loud? It's probably the best mic we have. So, Phil, I appreciate you opening that for boots, just so you know.
Yeah, that's for boots. No problem. Yeah, okay. He doesn't even have to be close to it to talk, it sounds fun.
It's crazy? Yeah. Still scissors in the top drawer. Still scissors.
Oh, no, I don't need them. Okay. There it is. You got a zip tie.
You got the dolphins. The dolphin shoes. The Pegasus. Nice.
Yes. I know these. So there you go. Are you a size 10?
Definitely not. Tia said you're a size 10. She didn't say that. Yes, she did.
She's definitely wrong. What size are you? I'm size 12. Oh, so you're the same as me.
Yeah. I will return those and get you the better size. Oh, it is a 10, yeah. Anyways, that's what you got.
It'll sit on the counter with the printout by the other box. Yeah, so Brittany will go ahead and return that for you. So, I will get that fixed. Thank you, Brittany and company.
But just so you know, for the record, your wife said you were 10. " That's so nice. Dude, look at these things, bro. I look like 10s.
I just figured you had small shoes, small feet. Small feet. I don't want to stare at your feet. Mm-hmm.
So there's that. Well, appreciate it. Yeah, thank you very much. That would be great for the dolphin game that Boots is going to in a couple weeks.
Oh, I saw you put that on Facebook. Yes. Oh, yeah? What game are you going to?
Giants, Dolphins. Was that a ticket? Was that a birthday present? No, it was just kind of like an impromptu.
I've been trying to hang out with this guy for a long time. Yeah. He's one of Tia's best friend's husband. Dan Marino.
Yeah. And this guy Eric, he lives in Lake Mary. Oh, so you're going to the Jones. Oh, an overnight trip.
Yeah. Where are you going, New York? No, no, it's in Miami. It's in Miami.
Taking a romantic weekend with Eric to Miami. That's lovely. Nice. See a game, have some sex, it'll be good.
Well, I'm going to, actually, I'm, well, Boots is going to go down early, and I really want to go hang out at Smoke in the Water for a little bit. Oh, okay. Okay. Ah.
See you next time, y'all. Just got to post up in front of the humidor and get to peddling those postanias, buddy. Yeah. Yeah.
No doubt. So we had a few events that were a lot of fun. Yeah. A lot of fun.
We did Cigars on the Ave on Monday. Oh, that's right. Yep. That was cool.
And then we did what was called Executive Cigars and Sanforders now Blend and Barrel. I like the new logo. You like the new logo? Yeah, yeah.
I congratulated Joe and crew. And it was very busy there, man. Was it? A lot of people?
Super busy. It was Latin night or something, too? It was Latin night, which means they had a Latin DJ outside and a food truck or whatever. Mm-hmm.
However, there were a lot of people coming in and just buying onesie-twosie cigars. And I'm going to tell you right now, 95% of them smoke Powstanie. Oh, great. Yes.
There was no mercy. We turned it on. I had to walk past you. Yeah.
" Hey, how are you? What are you doing out here? The cigars are out front here. Go on, go on.
So why were you in a hole there in the photo? I was sitting next-- Jason and Joe standing on boxes or something? I was standing next to two giants. I don't know who coordinated that.
I didn't realize Joe was that tall until he saw him standing. He was almost as tall as Jason. Yeah. Hey, whatever.
You know what it is? I'm vertically challenged. What do you want from me? It wasn't me that took the picture.
If I would take the picture, I'm like, fellas, you gotta squat down a little bit. You guys need to squat just a little bit. Knees down. You guys can't make my guy over here look fucking that short.
Or put you in a box. We can put you on a chair or something. But the event went great. And now we're gearing up for the War Bear release at Lake Country Cigars.
That's Thursday. This Thursday. And then Friday there's another event here. There is HVC events this Friday.
Yes. Man, we are running hard. Busy couple of weeks. We are running hard, baby.
We had two football games this weekend. Yeah. Dude, I gotta tell you about my 1-2 team. What's the 1-2 team mean?
Justice's 1st grade, 7th grade team. Oh, I gotcha. So, we were pretty much exchanging, we had a couple stops on defense, they had a couple stops on defense. Can I get your lighter before you get started?
Sure. Just so I can have something to do while you're talking sports. Good luck with this, by the way. Well, I'm talking kids, I'm not just talking sports.
So... Alright, fuck that, I don't want that. How about the one that works? That's a good idea.
The creme brulee torch. The creme brulee torch. Oh, perfect. So, it was a pretty tight game.
Defensively, we made some mistakes. They got away with a couple of good runs, which they shouldn't have. It shouldn't have been as close as it was. On the last drive, they broke away, and they were up by two points.
So, I got a minute and 13 left on the clock. One timeout. So I do a quick little handoff play to Justice, and he drops the ball right at the line. So he starts crying.
And I'm like, hey, don't worry about it. Still crying in football? I'm like, no, no. I'm not that guy.
I don't yell at my kids. No, no, you're not Tom Hanks. Yeah, I'm not that guy. So I'm like, hey, don't worry about it, man.
You made a mistake. You dropped the ball. It's okay. You know, shake it off.
Are there fumbles in flag football or just a dead ball? No, they're just a dead ball. So I ran another play. And what's great is, these kids are so smart.
Right. I said, hey, listen, here's what I want to do. We haven't practiced this play at all. Oh.
I want you to, kind of, I want you to throw the ball to the center. Right. And I want the center to lob the ball back to you. Oh.
And then I want you to run. So I gave that, that was the quarterback. He said, okay. So we did that, boom, up the field halfway.
Timeout. First timeout gone. Or last timeout gone. Last timeout.
Yeah. I got 45 seconds. 45 seconds. I'm like, okay.
Here's what I got to do, boys. So I bring Justice back. This guy called the Gipper. We all want to do it for the Gipper.
All right, Daddy, we'll do it for the zipper. So I bring Justice back. " I said, "Are you ready for the ball? Are you ready to redeem yourself?
" I said, "Okay. Just get behind him. " So we hand it off. He runs.
" He runs halfway down, and he goes out of bounds or gets a flag pulled or whatever. And so we're, you know, we have a quarter of the way to go to get this touchdown. 13 seconds, no timeout. No timeout.
No timeout. And I'm yelling. Tension's building. I'm yelling to play.
Everything's got superheroes. I'm going, Superman, Superman, Superman. So they run. Yes, Daddy, you're Superman.
What are we doing? Let's go, let's go, let's go. They run up. They get in the line.
They set the play. Throw the ball. Touchdown. We win by four points, man.
I almost fell out. Hey. The tension was right there. It was amazing, dude.
It was amazing to see these kids quickly move, adapt, get ready to the play, run it, boom, touchdown. Nice. " You've been weighing all day to say this on the show. " What in the world does that mean?
I have no idea. Did they do it? Did you notice anything different? No.
No. Apparently, the kids didn't know what it meant either. Let's get in the biscuits. So, what happens when someone starts yelling at 10-year-olds, our kids start to melt.
They started to go in a little bit. " And I've been making fun of it this whole time. I brought plastic biscuits to practice yesterday. Oh, nice.
And everybody took home biscuits. We could have brought real ones. They could have eaten them. Yeah.
Come on. Now what do you want? I mean, what do you want? You want Brittany to do more work?
You can buy biscuits. That's not right. You can buy biscuits. Yeah, you could have bought them at like Publix.
Like the King Hawaiian rolls or something? Yes! That would have been a good idea. Everybody likes those.
Somewhere they make King Hawaiian tortillas now. Really? I saw them online, yeah. And an everything bagel tortilla.
I really want those. That's fucking probably delicious. So the reason why we were releasing late is because you went to a wedding? Yes.
Tanner, my third child down, I guess. My third child? He got married over the weekend. One's removed.
Well, he's now the favorite stepchild. He's now the favorite. Yeah, he sent me a nice text message last night, brought me to tears. Oh, really?
Oh, it was very nice. Man, the pendulum is swung. Oh, yeah. I said, how do we tell your brother he's not the favorite now?
He says, I'll tell him. Okay, you take care of him. I'll let him know. But I would say we took way, we used ways on the way back.
" So they're going to take the way to cross this bridge. It was barely wide enough for two cars. Really? And the rails were all rusted.
I mean, if somebody would have hit you sideways, you would have went through the rail into the river. It was very scary. That was the old moonshine trail. That's what it looked like.
Listen, you could have been... Aluminum pieces between, you know, the concrete sections, and you hit them, they go... Like they were gonna fall out. I mean, if you played your cards right, you would have been like a happily...
That's what I told everyone. We'd be the legend if we go off this bridge, honey. Yeah, you'd probably survive. Folk songs and everything.
D. King Palmer might die, but you're like, oh, you know. I probably would have made it. Yeah, you probably would have survived.
It was really high, too. Yeah. It was weird. It was a hell of an impact.
Very scary. Yeah. Very scary. Very long, very scary, very rusted.
You can't leave Florida. How fast did you drive over it? I was going 45, but then a semi was coming the other direction. Oh, my God.
Camera two. And she was starting to scream. I'm like, "Stop! " He's talking about his time.
We were having a back and forth. But it was a lovely wedding. Yeah. I have a new best friend, Donnie, the other father.
A new best friend? Over there. He's a trainer. He drives a train.
Like a real train. Oh, he's a train driver. He's an engineer. Where are you going up to and going, choo choo.
No, but if I come back for the baby shower, he's going to take you on the train. I get to drive it. Yeah. I just want you to know, that's where the sex happens.
It's a train. He brings you into the front room, locks the door. There's no door, you see those trains? Shovel coal into the engine.
Exhibitionist. It's a serious, I mean, real train. Oh, he's going to have you shovel coal. I'm going to shovel coal.
Yeah. Oh, that's like the one that was just in Mission Impossible. Yeah, like that. Nice.
I didn't see Mission Impossible. Well, you should see it. Okay. Oh, the new one?

Phil? Yeah. I went to Boo's birthday party. You did?
I did. I mean, it was a good little birthday party. Yeah. A lot of people there.
A lot of people. A lot of people there. And you know what really kind of sucked about the birthday party though? That I wasn't there?
Other than the fact that you weren't there? That is true. They made us watch the Dolphins game. Why were there no photos of the party online or anything?
I don't take pictures really. Well, there had to be somebody there. There were 75 people there. I don't know why anybody else didn't take pictures.
Was Chet there? Chet always takes pictures. The Dolphin game wasn't even close. Oh, was it?
It was 70 to 12 or something. Oh, I saw Kiki posted it. Yeah. Yeah.
And they made us sit and watch the whole fucking thing. Not even Red Zone. Well, it was his birthday. He's like, so ridiculous.
What are you talking about? We turned to the games after they were up like... At the end, I was like, put the pads on. You should have gave him the shoes then, the shoes it won't fit.
Go here, put these in. Put these on. I can't... Can I see you yell at your wife about that?
That'd be great. About what? That you're not a size 10? " Would I lie to you?
I don't... Why would I lie to you? Now you're telling me to pick between you or my wife. Well, for boots to pick.
Yeah, for boots. I'm just saying. So what is Phil's opinion on it? I don't want to talk about it.
What is Phil's opinion on it? No comment. A dirty whore. I'm just here so I won't get fined.
I'm just here so I won't get fined. Okay, so. Any King Palmer behaved herself at the wedding? Nothing?
Yeah? Yeah. Nothing dramatic? Nope.
No? She didn't drink a lot, did she? She kind of, all her family showed up, so that was nice for her. Yeah.
Well, yeah, it was in Missouri, right? Yeah. Yeah, because that's where she's from. Yes.
It's not like it was a far drive. For them? Yeah. No, I think the longest drive for anybody there was three years.
About three hours? St. Louis to Springfield? Yeah.
Man, you should have just stayed there and then drove to Wisconsin. You could have just sat tight. No, I wanted to get home. I've been up there too long.
We were going for five, six days. You know he's an introvert. So you started to say something else, what? You need to do a text message?
Edgar's asking me to tag her on the IG post so she can share it. The live? Yeah. You know, I think out of the two events, I think what I like better, I really like the one at Executive, or at Blend and Barrel, because I like Joe Dalton.
Are they changing the sign outside and everything? They're going to be. They're going to? Right now they just have like posters up over the old stuff.
Oh, a banner? Yeah. I like Joe Dalton, really great guy, you know, he's always a great host and everything like that, and there were some people that I haven't seen in a long time. There's a guy that came there that I used to work with at the airport like 22 years ago, which it was crazy to see him walk in the door.
Hustler Mafia was obviously there. But I really enjoyed the Cigars on the Ave event better because it was a little more personable. Like you had, Garney came. Yeah.
Who still has not, he's never been on, he's never done the podcast, has he? I guess not. No, he makes that comment to me every time. Does he?
Yeah. He put up the, They put up today, he's doing Smokin' Tobacco again this week. He should be on his own though. You know, if he's going to do this show, he's got to bring food, he's got to bring meat.

He can cook. But I don't know the gentleman's last name, but Ryan from Oliva came. Yep. And there was a couple other people that- But he didn't come for the event.
He just came there to be there. He didn't realize. Right, but it's kind of cool to see those guys in the industry, like, At, at, just at a building. At a building?
Yeah, at, that you're at, you know? Yeah, it's nice to see guys at a building. I get it. Right, because they never go to buildings.
Yeah. It's very rare. At a cigar shop. Oh, they don't go there either?
Neither one of them. Whatever. Cigar guys don't go to cigar shops. Yeah, so I get it.
At somebody else's event. Cigars on the Ave was a little more intimate. But it's something they do every Monday, apparently, right? And then they switch cigars or something?
Yeah, once a month. But Blend and Barrel was, I mean, they just, I was just working. I was just working. I worked the whole thing.
Right. You know? And that, I mean, that was cool because it's a lot more people that are closer to us. Yeah.
Right. So. A lot more faces that you knew. Yeah.
Yeah. So. Well, it's only, what, 20 minutes from here. Yeah.
Yep. All right. Well, we're ready to get on to, wait, give me the Phil's Fun Facts. Yeah.

However, the line first appeared in August 2016, as many companies hurried cigars into the market ahead of the since-defeated FDA regulation that would have restricted new cigars from being released. As for its name, it comes from the story that Alan Rubin, the founder and former owner of Alec Bradley and Ralph Montero, a partner in Alec Bradley, By the way, who did not get a crucial job at Forged, went to visit a tobacco field in Honduras in the middle of the night, as reports about the crop had been good, they didn't want to wait until the morning.
While there, they were so impressed with the tobacco that they felt compelled to toast the company's future, Rubin recalls the event as magical, hence the name, Magic Toast. That's very exciting. The second cigar made, called OK Eggs for Breakfast, did not do as well. Wow.
Some of the tobacco used in the blend of the regular production line is from that very field while the rest comes from Nicaragua. Was there Dancing in the Moonlight? Dancing in the Moonlight. That would be nice.

Seven figures. Oh, less than here. Yeah. With the more money you make, the less you show up.
Wow. Yeah. That's how it works. That's why I still have to come in every day.
Oh, that is actually truthfully how it works in the real world. Yeah. Oh, let's see. Uh, in early 2021, he left Davidoff.
His time at Davidoff was during the major transformation from the Swiss cigar brand. The company integrated and relaunched Camacho. It revamped The Davidoff brand with launches like Davidoff Nicaragua and new Winston Churchill made major changes to the AVO portfolio and expanded its US retail operation with new stores in Atlanta, Houston, and New York, as well as franchise stores in Las Vegas and Tampa. It's been very busy.
Here's what I would do. Prolific. I would do two things. First thing I would do is I'd walk in one day a week and I'd ask for the EBITDA stat sheet for the year and then I could pace in my corner office and kind of angry.
Slamming on the desk. Breaking cigars. Yeah, yeah. And then in the meantime, while I was doing that, my side thing that I'd be working on, it'd be an NFT.
Oh. Yeah, yeah. You know, they could do one. They're big enough.
Yeah, we would do an NFT, and I would make sure... Just a picture of you breaking cigars. I would make sure that it sold for $102,000. Ah, yes, exactly.
Just a little bit more. Just get a little more. Slightly higher. That's right.
What about the octagon boxes? Would that be another thing? Yeah, I love the octagon boxes. I would change them to triangles.
Yeah, triangles. Oh, perfect. Because nobody cares. Nobody does triangles.
Everybody loves triangles. Right, everybody loves them. Nobody does them. There's nothing wrong with triangles.
What about like an egg shape? You know, unless you have a tinfoil hat, you have a problem with a triangle. Right. That one guy.
That one guy does. No triangle. No. An egg shape?
You want an egg shape box? Yeah, what about an egg shape? You know what I'm thinking? I don't think this has been done before.
It should have been done before. What? Cargo boxes. Cargo container boxes?
That look, yeah. Oh, that'd be a great idea. Oh, I'd love to have one of those. Yeah, first time, never done before.
Oh, that's what you should do. Okay. Sancho Panza, limited edition heads to stores. Sancho Panza.
You know who Sancho Panza was? Uh, yeah, he's the guy that found the, found the youth. No, no. What?
You know who Don Quixote was? The guy that fought the windmills? The crazy old man that fought windmills? He fought windmills?
He thought windmills? Yeah, he said they were dragons. Did he win? Well, yeah, they're windmills.
They're pretty big. They're pretty big windmills. Yeah, but he had an old beat-down horse and he had like a lance. I'm serious.
Okay, I believe it. I feel like the red light's already working. Sancho Panza was his... Horse?
No, he was his horse. He was his horse. It's like his tonto. Oh, okay.
So they were attacking windmills together? " Okay, we go. Okay, we go. Look, another dragon.
Another dragon. Is this a Chinese heritage thing? No. You don't know the story of Don Quixote?
No. Is he Chinese? No, he's not. He's Spanish.
Don Quixote? Don Quixote. Sounds Chinese to me. Does it?
He fell in love with a whore. He thought he was a princess. Yeah? Yeah.
Wow, that sounds like a Disney movie. It's a lovely story. I'm sure Disney has done one of them. Yeah.
Sorry. But the cigar was blended by a... It was called Mulan. It was called Mulan.
Whoa. That's what it was. Because it's, you know, it's all about China. That's where it all started.
The cigar was blended by Matt Booth, Creative Director of Scandinavian Tobacco Group, Justin Andrews, Business Development Manager of STG's North American Brand and Rest of World Division. Why couldn't it just be Division Manager of everything? I like Rest of World Division. He better be careful.
He gets another title. He's gone. Well, he's never getting any more money. The growth will be fueled.
No, it's great if you keep getting titles. Hey, so listen, I know that if I get a little more money, you're probably going to fire me. Can we add something to my title? Add something to my title?
Yeah. How about, let's see, you're already business development manager. Ruler of STG. North America.
How about rest of world? Okay, fine. Done. I just don't understand who came up with that name.
It was him. He's in Nicaragua. You want to call him? We're gunning for...
Yes, please call him. Cornhole champion at the end of that. Can we work that out? North American Branded and Rest of World Division and Champion of Cornhole.
Champion of Cornhole. North American and Rest of World. We've always said both a respect and admiration for the products that come out of the Oliva facility, Booth and Andrews. Oh, they both said that.
Oh, nice. Said in a press release. Yes. And we felt it appropriate to produce with them because their signature direction to cigars composition aligned perfectly with...
Which one of them said this? These are big words. Let's call them. It's a mention of Poop, so not Booth.
Yeah, it's definitely not him. And it's not, I love Justin, but he don't use big words. Either one of them said it. Yeah, look at his title, he's got big words.
Yeah, he's ruler of the world. That's how big his business card is now. Yeah, he should've just been called like the... You get the card, you look at it.
You gotta turn it around. You turn over the back to the rest of the title. Oh, and Keeper of Things. Oh my goodness.
I apologize. Keeper of Things. The blend uses an Ecuadorian habano seed wrapper, an Ecuadorian grown Sumatra binder, He added that the "Hypersexual blend provides both" from the cigar from Nicaragua, Condega, Esteli, and Sumoto regions. "A press release calls the cigar medium-bodied with hints of spice.
'" That sounds like him, yeah. Tell them this! " He added that the, oh here we go, hypersexual blend provides both pleasure in the combustion experience and depth to the brand's overall offerings, which he refers to as a meaningful next installment and responsible addition to the Sancho Panza franchise. The Sancho Panza.
99, an offer in tin-count boxes. The name implies it's a limited edition, though Forge Company, which distributes the Sancho Panza brand, is not disclosing how many cigars are being produced, because they don't. No. Nobody knows.
Nobody knows. Following the big news. We called Oliva. They wouldn't get back to us.
Following the big news. Central Panza, last year, we agreed the brand deserved a heightened level of focus this year, said Matt Wilson, senior brand manager of Central Panza. Oh, there's a new guy. You gotta love the guy that didn't have to do anything.
Justin Andrews worked his dick off, helped produce it. Fucking Matty Booth slides in there, says episodic fucking yada yada. Hypersexual, blah, blah, blah. And this guy says, this guy's like, yeah, you know, we really felt like it needed something.
So we developed a special blend to continue the dialogue around Sancho. Can I have Matt Wilson's dub? By releasing a limited edition blend of this caliber, we're anticipating the Sancho loyalists and newcomers alike will spread the gospel of the great friend as they expand their humidors with a new smoke to collect and enjoy. The company has not yet announced where the cigars are being made.
You know, it is kind of funny, though. It's at the Oliva factory, for fuck's sake. They just said- I know! Oh my god, you guys gotta get your shit together.
This is embarrassing. You know, Matt, what's going on here? Wilson? Mr.
Wilson? We get all our news from Halfway. Oh. He was busy underscoring your cigar.
He couldn't figure it out. I don't like broadleaf, so... We don't want to talk about it out of here. He gave the eye of the bull in '88, so you're pretty close to that.
Oh, so what? Practically the same thing. Yeah, a fraction of the cost. " My instant response is, was I nice to you?
Could have gone either way. Was it a good response? How was the feedback? Did you hear good things?
One to five. When was it? What show did I talk about? Was I mean?
I'm sorry. What was your name again? We're just kidding. My name's Sancho.
Are you part of the rest of the world division? Just kidding. All right, any camera one, please. This is a big story.
Big Florida story. A Florida man accused of murdering his girlfriend claims she accidentally choked to death while performing oral sex. Oh my goodness. Yes, was it Taylor Swift?
And his unusual defense just might work according to a renowned pathologist and former New York City medical examiner. Richard Henry Patterson, 65, of Margate, now wants permission from a judge to bolster his argument by showing his penis to a jury to support the claim that He claimed that Francesca Marconique, 60, choked to death in the bedroom while performing oral sex on him on October 28th. So he is now asking to show himself in court? Yes.
This is fucking amazing. Because his penis is so big, she choked on it. He couldn't have pulled it out? He's asking permission to.
Yeah, you can't just pull it out. No, no, but you're sitting down, so they can't see anyway. No, I'm saying that as she was being choked to death. No, no, and I found this story out on, I don't know, during the trip?
Yeah. " That's how he sounds? Yeah, because there was a little, I saw a video, he's got kind of a Germanish accent. Oh, and that's how it sounds?
Yes. One more time. You take it, you take it now, take it, take it, take it. Get in there, get in there.
Get in there, take it. Patterson's attorney claims, and a motion filed on May 1st, and an expert witness and former Broward County medical examiner, Dr. Ronald Wright. Ronald Wright, confirmed it's a huge penis, will testify that Marconi's death is consistent with being an accidental sexual asphyxiating during the oral sex.
No. According to the motion, it is material and relevant, Attorney Ken Padowitz wrote in the motion, "The view by the jury is essential for them to fully understand Dr. Wright's testimony and the defense in the case. " Yes, go ahead.
Okay. First of all, do you know how long somebody has to be without air to die? Yes, yes. You can go to Tuna.
Yeah, I know. Do you think it was accidental at this point? Did he not stop? You know, listen.
I think it's worse than that. It's way worse than that. You have to elaborate on the fact that at the age of 60, that's probably somebody's grandma. Ah.
Yeah, there were no photos of the woman. So how did grandma die? She was fucking choking on a cot. She had her voice box drilled.
It's like, you ever see the movie Alien where it goes through the head and then rips out the back? Right, comes out of the chest? Oh, the thing that, yeah, they put that long ass tube down the roof. Well, they have the aliens, they have like the little alien that pops out.
Right, they're like the little octopus thing and they... Poor grandma. I'm not talking about the hugger. Oh.
This is horrible. The thing that comes out. No, the actual alien. Right.
It has a little alien mouth. Oh, the little mouth that comes out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like you rip through the back of the person's skull.
The grandmother got choked out by you. Oh, when they're just killing somebody? Yeah. Oh, because the little alien pops out of the chest.
Correct. But we're not talking about them. No, no. Talking about the choking.
I'm going to need you to turn on the red light right now. Choking. We could do it during the show. That'd be an hour a week.
Yeah. That'd be perfect. We'd all be blind, but... Yeah.
Oh, I gotta wear special glasses? They might have them. Sometimes they do. Glad you added that.
If not, close your eyes. Hey, I remember everything, but I'm blind. I can't see shit. All right, Dr.
Michael Badden, a former New York City medical examiner who has performed autopsies in several high-profile cases. It is true. This man is a large cop. Recently, that of former NFL star Aaron Hernandez.
Did he also choke on a car? Wait, wait, wait. Go. Keep going.
Okay, I hear this. I haven't heard this story yet. No, no, I don't. He's elaborating on it.
He performed an autopsy on this famous person, but I assume he did not die by choking on a penis. Yeah, I don't know. I don't see where any of this correlates. Wait, there we go.
Who the f- It's entirely possible. Who is doing this investigation? It's entirely possible, albeit one cause of death he hasn't come across through his career spanning five decades, so he's never seen a cock choker before. There's quite a number of ways that sexual activity can lead to inadvertent death, but I've never heard of choking on a penis.
Oh my God. That told the newspaper. More common causes of death during sexual activity includes autoerotic fixation, where people use devices during masturbation to enhance orgasms by partially reducing airflow to the brain. And it just is where one partner compresses the neck vessels of another for increased pleasure, he said.
Oh, they're choking. Hmm. Ah. Ah.
It's usually the male who compresses the neck vessels of the female with the idea that they have a better orgasm as the oxygen supplies diminish to the brain, and that could lead to death. Death. Baden said he's even seen a case where a woman died from receiving oral sex after a man blew air into her vagina, causing an air embolism. Oh.
Wow. Wow. Blue air? Blew air into the vagina.
Like through a vacuum? Like where are we blowing air, through a penis? No. How did he do that?
He was performing oral sex on Pullman. Are you listening? No. Turn on the red light, give it to him.
And apparently at one point he went, and then she died. So he blew the balloon up. Yes. Popped it.
It's like a whoopee cushion. You've never heard of oral sex choking defense, it doesn't mean it wouldn't happen. A British man, however, tried the defense during a 2011 murder case and he's now serving a life sentence. Man, you know what, after hearing these stories, I thought I was a freak.
I thought I was a freak. This is some freak-ass shit. That's up to the jury to decide whether to accept it or not, Baden said of Patterson's events. I've not seen it.
It's not my call. That the penis alone will choke somebody to death. However, it could happen. In order to choke to death, the penis has to obstruct the windpipe probably down the area of the thyroid cartilage or the Adam's apple.
Dude, he murdered her. I'm not gonna lie. We're gonna have to see the penis. " See, one could have no...
She was 60, man. She was 60. It wasn't hard. You know, all they do is tap a vertebrae, and it's done.
Yo, Salma Hayek, 60? Yeah, but Salma Hayek... Well, she needs to be careful, then. Salma Hayek is a celebrity.
She has... She needs to start checking penis sizes. She has all the medical... Jennifer Aniston.
Shit in the world. She's also 60? Also 60? Yeah.
I don't know. One could have no air coming in for a period of time under these circumstances. That would be possible. Wow.
Oh, my God. Uh, no date has been set for hearing on Patterson's motion to show his penis. If the judge rejects the request, Padowitz said he's considering making a, making a mold of the plates. If I make a mold of the pine, of the, the, the, the pinus, gonna make a mold.
Sorry, I'm getting a little flustered. If I'm the judge, I'm like, I'm going to have to see this dick. I'm just trying to figure, well, yeah, how do you not at that point? Yeah, we'd like to examine the murder weapon.
Patterson has been charged with secondary murder, second degree murder called his attorney before marking his body was, oh wait. I didn't mean to. He called his, oh he called his attorney when he found out she was dead before he called the police. She had been dead 24 hours when police found her body, according to the arrest record, cited by the newspaper.
An autopsy shows no sign of trauma, but noticed the body was already in an early stage of decomposition. That's smart, you always call a lawyer. Yeah, the medical examiner could not reach. Then you call OJ for this one.
I mean, if she's dead, she's dead. I'm calling you. Where are you getting rid of that? I don't think we have to worry about that with you, though.
You what? I don't think you're going to choke somebody to death with your penis. No, it's not really going to happen. It could be some type of autoerotic asphyxiation thing where you're just squeezing.
It is rare in a murder case that the medical examiner can't say the manner of death is a homicide. What? Prosecutors would be without a case if they didn't have Patterson's statement to a daughter and friend about working his death in a text message after death. Oh, he was bragging.
Guess what I do is, I choke your grandmother with my penis. Wait, wait, read that again? Nana's death. Nana's death.
He texted his daughter and friend after the lady died. In a text message after her death, Patterson told his daughter he did something wrong. He later told a friend he choked Martinez. I feel like when people get into that 60 plus age, shit gets fucking wild.
His attorney said he said he choked her, never said he strangled her. Yeah. That's the difference. Ah.
Is this in the villages? Margate, Miami. Oh, yeah. So when you're down there, look them up.
South Florida. Maybe down there for the ballgame. Margate's not Miami. It's not down that way?
It's Coral Springs. It's where I actually grew up. Well, it's down that direction. It's north of Fort Lauderdale.
Oh. Are they known for their big penises down there? People are dying about... Something in the water, perhaps?
I don't mean to brag, but I'm from... I'm just kidding. Great. Just kidding.
Or Brittany. That's why she's mad. That's why she's mad. Oh, she's definitely gonna kill.
I didn't do anything. Just by the way. Okay. Listen, your wife said your shoe size 10.
Okay. What is she? What is she telling us? No comment.
She doesn't know. She guessed. Oh, that small shoes must be too. Yeah, exactly.
Uh, do they have toddler? Yeah. How small is it? Very small baby feet.
All right. Shop of the week, Michael. Shop of the week. Camera three.
There you go. Lake Country Segal. It's like, oh! Oh!
Last week through Shop of the Week. In Wisconsin. Yes. And we have a Listener of the Week?
I do. Dexter Pollard! Still is not content. He did.
Oh! He did! Somebody told him! He did.
That's what I said. Somebody told him. He said, hey, so uh... So I hear I won.
I heard I won something? I said, yeah. I heard I won something. Yeah.
Oh, I'm just trying to catch up on the podcast. And I said, someone fucking told you. Somebody told you. Someone told you.
Did he say who? No, he wrote back like LOL. It was Mitch. Probably, probably.
It was Mitch. Damn it, Mitch. Oh, his birthday was yesterday. I didn't know his birthday was the day after.
Yeah, it's happy birthday, Mitch. That guy went on a 70-day excursion. Oh, through Europe. Toward the world.
Oh, kidding. Didn't bring any cigars. Oh, that's right. He didn't smoke a one.
You think maybe he has the title of rest of the world? It could be rest of the world. Maybe he was looking for Justin Anderson. I will say this.
He didn't bring any cigars, but there came a point in the trip where he was looking for cigars, and he went to a cigar shop and they were closed. Oh, that sucks. How could you not bring any? Well, I think that he wanted to focus on his family, which is fair.
Okay. He's got a little kid. I know he does. There's a lovely picture of his little boy sleeping on most of the trip.
Yeah, exactly. Poor kid. Very tired young man. Drug that poor kid through everything.
Get the Benadryl, he's waking up. Wow. You saw Rome. We did everything.
It was amazing. Kid didn't see anything. Slept like a baby. Slept like a baby.
Recharged. Right. That's what happens. You take his Legos away.
You know, there's no fun for him. Now he's at home going, "Where are we going? " Right. All right.
Anybody got anything else? Say where you're going to be again. Happy birthday, Palmer. Thank you.
Happy birthday to Boots. I am going to be and Boots will be at Lake Country Cigars for the world release of Postano. This Thursday, Warbear, this Thursday, September 28th. I saw Tron's coming.
He works there. Oh, yeah, okay, he's there. Jeez. Tell us about that Lonsdale that Robocraft doesn't make or make sense.
Oh, it's like the LL. No, it's a Lancer. Oh, it's like the LL. Well, we needed a fun fact.
