you're lucky he gets words out
you you expect him to emphasize
on an all capital.
It's a capital emphasize.
I know he has a third grade
reading letter.
It's probably it's this too.
It's a big word for him.
Yeah, it's 4 letters in that.
One big word for Phil.
Be reasonable.
So we interviewed Eric Espinoza.
Well, you interviewed Eric
Espinoza last Friday and it will
be out this Friday.
I.
Feel like we interviewed him.
You're there.
You were.
No, I was part of it.
Certainly.
I ran the board.
I understand my role in the in
the interviews.
Yeah, certainly you did it.
I could sit over here if I
wanted to, but I choose not to
because you're doing such a good
job.
I think it's fantastic.
Yes, it was a really good
interview.
Last week's it was, but Eric, I
mean, Eric could interview
himself for 45.
Minutes.
Eric can interview himself.
That is true.
Here's the difference.
Eric has these espinosaisms that
he has four or five stories that
he's gonna.
I didn't hear 1.
I don't mean I'm sorry.
We're trying to get better at
this.
I didn't hear one repeat story
this trip.
Yeah, he'd when he was upstairs
doing the events at all or just
here in person?
Both.
Yeah, I did, but that's fine.
I I cut him off.
We were we had a couple of good
conversations and I already
heard that one.
Is it?
Oh.
Are we sorry Tell you a story?
I know this one already.
Eric But here's the thing I
like, I want to make sure that
when we do these interviews that
they're not like everybody
else's same shit.
I when we first started doing
podcasts and we were doing our
interviews, it was cool because
nobody else is doing it, right?
I'm like, Hey, we can just talk
about origin stories and all
those other things, right?
And then all of a.
Sudden we would try to find
something that no one else
talked about.
Yeah, well, because at that
point there wasn't anybody
really doing it.
So, you know, it was easy to
cover.
I mean, you had your your normal
guys, right?
You had your bears, you had your
you had your coops, right?
You're no we were out before.
How about?
Yeah.
So, you know, but then as things
kind of started moving along,
everybody when I talk with other
media, I was like, oh, we we
want to hear the origin story
and stuff.
And I'm like, that's no longer
original.
Yeah, you can't.
No, you can hear that back on
somebody else's show.
Yeah, it's the same thing over
and over.
So now I kind of go back and I
look into these things and I'm
thinking, OK, how do what else?
What else can we talk about?
There's more to this person than
than.
And why do you smoke cigars?
Yeah, right.
You know what I mean.
The story with his dad smoking
in the kitchen and all that
other stuff, that's one of his
things that he always mentions.
Oh, I've never heard the dad
smoking in the kitchen before.
Yeah, gotcha.
You do a lot.
My dad would smoke anywhere he.
Was smoking?
Do a lot of family questions
with your interviews.
Yeah, well, I mean, that's like,
look.
There's not a whole lot left to
cover.
No, I just, you know what?
If you're not going to talk
about cigars, it's family.
Well, look, I just think that
there's a lot of experiences
that go on in your life, sure,
that shape you into the person
that you are, OK?
And a lot of times it's going to
have affiliation with your
parents, certainly your
siblings, you know, are you a
family man or not?
Do you, How do you feel about,
you know, like, like Eric's a
Family Guy?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
100 percent, 100%.
And you would never really guess
that until you sat sat him down
and and actually had.
A I've never heard anything
about his mother before.
Yeah, I mean, obviously I've met
his father several times, right?
But yeah, I've never heard
anything about his mother.
Let's not get too far ahead of
the cells.
Oh, sorry.
Well, everybody knows he has a
father.
The interview hasn't dropped.
And he probably has a mother or
a had or has or still does.
Well, yes, he does.
Yeah.
Yes, allegedly.
Last week's interview did really
well.
Yeah, Martin Schuster.
Yeah, Martin Schuster.
The ratings on the video is
higher than the Regular Show.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Well, hey, you know, like again,
same scenario.
This is a guy that no one has
really talked to.
Right, you could ask him just
about anything.
Yeah.
And, you know, it's kind of
intriguing because you have this
one guy, John Carney, who's
heavy into this AI, who's heavy
into this vision, and it's kind
of different.
And, you know, he's getting
positive and negative Flack
about it and all these opinions
and stuff.
And I'm like, OK, this is cool.
I mean, some of those opinions,
positive and negative, are
coming from us, you know, I
don't think.
We did the survey.
But we're not like, but we want
what's best for him.
Certainly, you know, we're not
looking to.
No, he's just taking shots at
him.
Yeah, to beat somebody out,
right, You know what I mean?
But it's kind of fascinating,
right?
And.
Did you get the impression that
Martin was maybe Humory might
not be the right word, but he
might not be all in on the AI,
but he understands what it is
and he wants John to pursue it
because it might be something.
I don't think anybody is all in
on the AI.
Yeah, well, we have a new story.
Oh, really?
Yeah, we'll get to.
That I don't, you know, I think
that I think that it it, I think
that it's misused in a lot of
ways.
Let me elaborate, right?
I think that there is a good
place for it, but just like
anything else, just like any
type of marketing, people will
use it improperly to kind of
glamorize themselves and it's
not really conducive to growth.
Now there are other people that
are going to use it and it will
be conducive to growth.
So I think that's the kind of
fascinating part about AI so.
It's changing so quickly.
So, yeah, so you're looking at
John and you're like, OK, is he
going to use it the right way?
Is it going to be helpful to
him?
Or is it does bullshit right?
You know, and it seems to me.
Bullshit.
Seems a little aggressive but
OK.
It seems to me like he's using
it the right way, right?
I'm like, OK, this is
interesting.
Do you think he is trying to
find ways to use it or he does
like a whole separate show or he
knows?
What he's branched off.
Yeah, or he knows what he's
doing.
Do you think he's trying to find
a way?
He has this amazing tool and he
knows it can it can do
something, but maybe he doesn't
know exactly what it can do yet.
So let me try it over here, even
though maybe I should be trying
it over here.
I think that I don't think
anybody really understands the
full power of what.
It is, yeah.
I think you're right.
Right.
So I think that he's like, OK,
let me right, let's start
plugging this in.
Right.
Let's see where this will fit.
Yeah, sure.
Just kind of go from there.
And he's actually going.
Yeah, he makes that sound in
his, in his white T-shirt, Yes.
Yes, in his over and his
undersized white T-shirt.
Snug.
That was the other show we
talked about that way.
Yeah, I was just dropping that
real quick, so go ahead.
All right, trending topics One
time poker room dealer at the
Jack Cleveland casino is accused
of stealing isn't spelled out in
court.
Wait, how much one time?
Oh, how much?
Sorry I skipped how much the one
time poker room dealer at Jack
Cleveland Casino is accused of
stealing isn't spelled out in
court records.
Really.
Yes, ex casino dealer in
Cleveland is accused of stealing
from the pot.
Really.
Yes, poker dealer.
Poker dealer.
OK and not pot.
The pot, Yeah.
A former casino dealer in Ohio
has been charged with skimming
from the pot more than a dozen
times this past summer.
Wow.
Yeah, just a dozen times.
Over a dozen times.
Over a dozen times.
During the summer, well, I'd
imagine you could do it on every
hand.
Yeah, but like, what?
How do you determine when the
pot gets big enough that's the
one you're going to skim from?
Well, if I was to have skim from
a pot, here's what I would do.
You're the dealer.
Throw a cart.
Yeah, everybody's just tossing
chips in the middle.
You go to gather the cards up.
Maybe you grab a couple of chips
when you're.
You know, no, that's not that's
not how you skim.
Maybe that's how he skimmed no?
Or scammed.
That's not how you skim.
Well, let's read on and see what
he did.
OK, go.
Ahead, authorities began
investigating after a poker
player accused the dealer
stealing from a pile of chips
being wagered during a hand in
September, according to the
records from the Ohio Casino
Control Commission.
Right, The OCCC, which regulates
casinos, investigates gambling
crimes at casino, reviewed the
video and found other instances
where he stole from the table,
according to the Commission.
He was fired a day later, court
records show.
He's accused of stealing 14.
What I hit 1414, What I hit?
Did I hit Here we go Suggested
correction.
No show.
He's accused of stealing 14
times since early August.
Wow, that's the end of the
story.
And that's it.
Bad.
Yeah.
It doesn't say how I thought
that was the button I hit.
I thought was more information
is usually what?
It has, but so here's how it
goes, right?
You know, hands go out,
everybody bets pot, right?
Then you have, you have a rake,
right?
So whatever your Commission is,
you know, it's usually capped at
5 bucks or whatever in here in
Florida or something like that.
So once it reaches, you get 10%
of the action or whatever.
I actually don't know that for a
fact as far as what the rate is,
because I haven't been at a
poker table in 100 years.
Is that like what the house
makes?
So you pull that and you set
that into like this little place
where the rake, the house rake
would go, and when the round is
over, it gets dropped.
Right now, after everything
clears out, you get tipped
normally.
You tap, tap and you put it in
the tip jar.
Oh, gotcha.
So how he would skim it?
I don't know anything about
whatever this rake thing is.
The rake.
No, no, I understand what it is.
I've I've seen it but I didn't
understand how the house made
money off of poker.
A piece of the action 10% of
the.
It makes sense they have to
somehow. 10% cap that X right?
Right.
It's not like blackjack where
the house is playing a hand, no.
You just you yeah, 10% cap that
XI gotcha.
Now sometimes they'll have
jackpots and then like a portion
will go to the jackpot thing or
whatever the case may be like
that'll go on another side or
what does it for the jackpot.
This for this gotcha.
So I don't know how he he got
away with skimming off of this
pot and then putting it into his
tip jar, unless he wasn't
putting it into his tip jar.
Just palming it somehow.
But you know you can't palm it
and then move to the next hand.
And you know what?
In a group of 10 people just
sitting at the tip, you got to
be fucking stupid if you don't
see the guy.
And maybe the guy can get away
with skimming once or twice.
Right.
Well, 14 times over summer, not
14 times in one night.
Yeah, there's got to be more
than.
That so maybe he's waiting.
There's probably more, but they
have 14 of them on video.
Yeah, 'cause if the guy's
skimming, what's he skimming, a
$5 or $10 chip or something?
I don't know, you know what I
mean?
So like, so 14 times he did he
he took a 150 bucks.
Yeah, I.
Wish I would have given a total.
Yeah, that's not even close,
right?
There's, you know, it's got to
be more elaborate than that and
how no one noticed.
Maybe he waits till everybody's
not paying attention.
You figured.
There would be some.
Well, you have to know when to
hold them, Michael.
You got to know when to hold
them.
You don't.
Know when to walk away.
It's important.
You know.
I just think that that's, look,
people are fucking dumb.
I don't know.
I don't know what to tell you.
You're sitting here.
Knows the entire thing's being
videotaped.
He works with the casino.
Yeah, but but no one's.
But if the house is making
theirs and no one's complaining,
he gets away with it.
Right.
Guess you're right.
But I don't understand how how
10 people don't see it.
Well, if he's taking, like you
said, he had to be taking part
of the house action.
They wouldn't complain about
that.
Well, they would if they weren't
making enough.
No, the house action, though, we
get in the house action, he's
got to be taken on top of that.
Well, that's that's what I
meant.
Maybe he's taking from the
house.
If they if they get 10%, maybe
they only got 8 a couple of
hands.
The player wouldn't complain
about that.
No, but they got him on video.
I'm not.
Nobody says a player.
You did say a player.
Complain.
I don't.
I don't pay attention.
You just read.
We added that one at the.
Letter, letters, Letters letter.
Yeah, letters, letter.
At least I can read at.
Least you can this.
This this this is the Cigar
Hustler Podcast.

name.
Unhealthy state It does,

Eagles veteran defensive end
Brandon Graham will miss the
remainder of the season, he told
reporters Sunday night after
tearing his left tricep.
Oh no.
During Philadelphia's 37 to 20
win over the Los Angeles Rams.
He's got another arm.
Right.
It's the left one.
Yeah, should be fine.
And he's a defensive end.
He don't have to catch anything.
I mean it helps to catch.
What does he catch?
Interceptions.
Well, they just tape the Army.
He just make put him on the

Yeah.
There you go.
It'd be fine.
Yeah.
It's possible that Graham.
Oh, it's a possible that Graham,
a Philadelphia icon and the
author of the biggest play in
franchise history.
Oh, what is that?
I don't.
Know.
Oh, let's read on a strip sack
of Tom Brady.
Oh, and Super Bowl 53 L is 50,
right we.
Don't talk about that one.
We don't talk about that.
One that delivered the Eagles
their only Lombardi Trophy has
played his last NFL snap snap.
He said before the season
started that his 15th year would
be his last, playing at a high
level at age 36.
He has since left the door open
for return, but that is no
guarantee.
Just trying to process
everything right now.
I haven't gotten that far,
Graham said.
But you know what I'm going to
keep my spirits up is.
That how it sounds, yes.
Cowboy, Cowboy, keep enjoying it
because we got a special team
right now and it's time for
people to step on up.
They do have a special team
right now, that is true.
Philly well.
I hope they can all step up.
Then why has you know story
about the other guy it's only
about?
You know what's funny is slaves
only got his fucking ass kicked
the whole time I saw him get
jammed.
What?
Why?
What did he hurt?
Why did he hurt?
No, what did he?
Hurt.
Why did he hurt?
What did he hurt?
There was a there was a play
where Slay got jazzed, He got
slayed.
He got like a helmet straight to
his arm.
And I'm like, oh, that's not
good.
And then he came back in a few
plays later, and then another.
A ramp, a bruise.
Yeah.
Very bad.
Yeah.
Boo, Boo, Boo, Boo.
And then then there was a play
where a receiver just fucking
obliterated him and he went down
and you could see when he went
up, he started shaking his head.
I'm like, oh, he's concussed,
he's fucked, so he's got a
concussion.
I'm just supposed to be.
Redesigning the helmets to help
with the concussions.
Who knows, Who knows what
they're doing.
I like that some of the guys are
rocking these guardian caps.
It's fucking hilarious.
What's a guardian cap?
It's like a cloth thing that
goes on top of the helmet with
additional cushion.
That seems silly.
Dude, you got to see that shit.
It's.
Hilarious when they get like
they.
Hit.
Another person.
It reminds me of OJ Simpson
Naked Gun.
You ever see that with the where
you can't get through the door
'cause it was pro, right?
That's exactly what the Guardian
cap looks like.
Oh my goodness.
It's amazing so.
Next Next story Kaylee Cuoco
Cuoco Cuoco Cuoco I think Kaylee
Cuoco reveals she's rehomed a
dog, Shirley, because Shirley
was getting into fights with her
fiance Tom Felpri's dog.
Surely you can't be serious.
Well, it's like her 4th fiance.
Stop calling me Shirley.
Well, you know they run their
courses, buddy.
I don't know.
Fuck this guy.
Well, maybe she did.
She was fiance.
The actress, known for rescuing
many dogs, opened up in a video
on Instagram about rehoming her
late.
Oh, the dog dead.
No.
Kaylee Cuoco speaking about
rehoming her late dog Shirley.
Yeah, apparently Shirley's dead
now.
It's her late dog.
Because it was.
It was her dog.
Now it's gone.
Late means it's dead.
I don't think so.
On Sunday, November 24th, the
actors opened up about the story
behind rehoming Shirley, who
reportedly died of cancer late.
Dog was dead.
So late means they're dead?
Yeah, apparently, yes.
Revealing in an Instagram Reel
that Shirley had to leave her
home after having fights with
her fiance, Tom Fell Free's pup.
Uh huh.
Most of you know I had Shirley
for many, many years.
Oh, she had a dog.
Long time.
Shit can the dog before he died.
Right.
Wow, I bet you if I had cancer
like hell.
Let's get rid of her.
Those are going to be depressed.
You know what I want?
I don't watch his dog die.
That's.
What I do with my fiance's Get
out, you're all.
Of a sudden, you kind of stop
seeing her, and I started to get
a lot of questions as to where
she was because she's very, very
unlike me to just stop posting
about a dog that I had since she
was six weeks old, right?
Wow, becoming emotional, the
actress, who shared 19 month old
daughter Matilda with Felfrey,
42, added.
Long story short, she's a very
special dog to me, as you all
know.
Well, not that special because
she can.
Whatever.
Right.
So and whether the love of my
life came into my life.
Tom, who was also a mega dog
lover, except for Shirley.
Apparently doesn't like Shirley.
She continued and he moved
across the country with his
beautiful German Shepherd blue.
Oh surely the German Shepherd
could have handled the whatever
the Shirley dog was couple years
ago.
Unfortunately Blue and Shirley
started getting in in some mega
fights.
That's where your story ends
abruptly.
Well so so they shit can the
dog.
Shit can the dog and then the
dog died.
That's a bad look.
And it's a bad.
Look, that's a bad.
Look, she's a known dog lover.
Apparently her fiance who
knocked her up before they got
married.
Oh.
Dude Dog outranked Shirley.
Blue.
Who was dying of cancer?
Blue Out ranked Shirley.
Our hearts go out to Shirley and
whoever we was.
Look man, we.
We feel for you.
Oh, you feel for Shirley.
I feel for Shirley.
Wow, that was she got ditched.
That was intense.
Shirley got ditched.
Look man, Shirley fucked around
and found out.
Maybe it's Blue's fault.
Maybe Shirley's German Shepherds
are known to be aggressive.
German Shepherd is known to be
aggressive.
They're aggressive dogs.
German Shepherds are a dog.
Your dog is aggressive.
My dog is protective.
There's a big difference.
Potato.
Potato.
Yeah.
And you're passionate, not
angry.
We all.
We're very.
Passionate.
Yeah.
It's you are very passionate,
yes.
Giants Brian De Ball talks with
Malik neighbor after wide
receivers rant.
After the train wreck that is
the New York Giants.
Apparently he's Rutherford, NJ.
This just did.
New York Giants coach Brian De
Ball spoke with Malik
Neighborson on Sunday night and
again Monday morning.
Very chatty young man, yeah.
After the rookie wide receiver
expressed his frustration
following the 3030 to 7 blowout
loss to the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers, neighbor questioned
why he didn't get targeted until
the second-half and when Giants
were already down 30 to 00.
He got the one touchdown, maybe.
Did he get the one touchdown?
I.
Don't know.
I don't think so.
You.
Didn't watch the game?
The Buccaneers.
I was busy.
He's very competitive
individual, the ball said Monday
on a conference call, 3 days
before the Giants play again on
Thanksgiving against the Dallas
Cowboys.
Oh, that's always a good game.
I thought the Lions always
played on Thanksgiving.
They do.
Oh, they'll play too.
I think so.
OK, probably the Bears.
Again, you want to get the ball
in his hands and I got to do a
better job of getting the ball
in his hands.
Well, at least he has that all
worked out.
You know what?
Go ahead.
And get the ball in his hand.
So I need to get the ball in his
hand.
Look.
Yes, the entire organization
just needs to go away.
You got, I'm talking about GM,
head coach, They're all a
fucking train wreck.
It's ridiculous.
You take Saquon Barkley, which I
know you have no idea.
Who this is?
Well, Quan, Barkley and Phil.
Doesn't isn't here to help.
Can he play basketball, Barkley?
No, he's a great one of the
greatest running backs currently
in the game.
Of all time.
You, I mean, you can have that
argument, but I don't know if
we're there yet.
I don't know who he is.
You take this guy, yes, And the
guy's a stud, and you trade him
away.
Like Shirley.
Yeah, you.
Yeah, you, you Shirley, this
guy.
Yeah.
For.
Shirley OK, so look, yes, not
only do you trade him away, you
trade him away to a division
rival.
Oh, he went to the Philadelphia
fucking Eagles.
The Philadelphia Eagles.
Yeah, the guy put up like 245
rushing yards yesterday.
And that's a lot.
That is a ton.
Wow.
I think it was.
For the Eagles.
For the Eagles.
OK, just trying to follow.
Yeah, it was like the most I
think in.
Eagle History.
Like over a decade I think.
Like a lot then.
Yeah, yeah.
What's an average number of
yards for an average person
who's not have a vendetta
against the team he's.
Playing a running back that's
doing well in a game will have
100 yards.
Oh, he had double that.
He had more than double that.
Well, I just would round him.
Yeah, it you know, an elite
running back will have 100 yard
rushing game and they'll do that
10 times in a season or if they
can, if you can hit 1000 rushing
yards in a season or.
Whatever, right?
You're doing good.
So that's pretty good.
And this young man's already
over.
He's average.
He's just absolutely dominant.
Yeah, so.
He's pissed off now.
So the Giants looks the guy.
No, the the the Giants look
really dumb, right then then

quarterbacks and Tim Packin,

no chemistry between him and the
White House.
He just, you know.
Brian, I mean, what are they

To do Yeah.
So Malik is upset and Brian's
saying I got to do a better job.

show.
Just send a post a post dated
third party out of state checks.

OK, All right.
That's all the trending stories,
Michael.
Excellent.

minutes in, you want me to do

didn't do the first Friday
start.
Yeah, start late, so.
We're going to just move right
into the news.
Right into the news.
JC Newman launches Custom Cigar
Blend program.
Oh, here we go.
For more than two years, JC
Newman has been working on a way
to let consumers create their
own cigar.
OK.
That are then rolled at the
company's L How do you that's
certainly it's spelled wrong.
What?
What is the name of their
factory?
Tell me.
Factory in Tampa, FL No no no
no.
Now the JC Newman.
No, no, no, back it up.
I want to hear the name of the
factory.
RELOJ, that sound right?
Yeah, but I have no idea.
How to say that?
Reloj.
Reloj.
There's no S on this, Michael.
Reloj.
J as an S in Spanish.
Reloj.
Now, the JC Newman Personal
Reserve Program has officially
been launched.
Oh, it's it's official.
It's official.
Those interested can either
visit the El Roche factory
located in Campus Ebar City
neighborhood or have a virtual
consultation.
Virtual consultation with the
with the Newman family.
Right.
JC Newman has launched an online
cigar Configurator tool,
probably the first of its kind,
that helps to visualize the task
in hand.
See, this is where I think John
Carney should have more AI.
Really.
Bentley cigars.
I mean, I'm sure you can go
online to make a Bentley car, so
why can't you just change it?
Make a cigar?
How does that work?
So how would you be able to
utilize that into a third world
country?
No, no, no, no.
That's why it's Jason Newman.
They're rolling them in Tampa.
Right.
That's what I'm saying.
How could Carney do that?
Oh well, they're in Europe.
They don't.
Make them in Europe.
But they could.
They could, but they don't.
They have rollers.
They do have rollers.
So the only thing they need is
tobacco, and they have that
there too.
They do have some tobacco.
So I don't see what is the
problem here, Michael.
It seems like they have all the
tools necessary to do a Bentley
AI cigar making.
As of right now, Bentley's made
in in Nicaragua.
Yes, but they have tobacco in
they.
Say hey.
Say hey.
AI this.
Hey, hey AI this thing after the
consultation period.
After the consultation period,
the the custom blends will be
rolled and will age for three to
12 months.
How much of it do you think is
bullshit?
Three to 12%.
That's it.
Come on.
Come on dude.
If it wasn't for the price and
the consultation period, I would
have already have done this so
we could see what.
It really how much is the price?
Oh, let's get to that.
Yeah, Undergoing aging room.
Once completed, custom cigar
bands will be applied and the
scars will be packaged in
leather.
Leather boxes.
JC Newman charges $250 for the
consultation.
OK, $30 per cigar for a minimum
of 80 custom cigars, bringing
the total price to 2650 dollars.
Wow.
To have your own cigar.
That's an incredible.
Now, the photo they showed, it
was like a screen where you pick
your rapper, you pick your
binder, you pick your, you know,
they say you pick.
How do you know that's what
you're getting?
Oh, you don't.
You don't.
You have no idea.
Think you're making one cigar?
I like check this.
Out and you get a custom band.
Well, you know, at least.
So here's the thing, at least JC
Newman, I think that there's
definitely a level of integrity
there with that company.
So I'm sure that.
As of now, JC Newman is
encouraging customers to select
A Toro Batola.
Yeah, those are the ones we
already have made.
No, that's not the case.
The other sizes can be used.
Yeah, I mean, that's your most
common size.
Tobacco in my mouth again.
It's probably the and it's
probably the easiest to make
probably.
Yeah, as of now, JC Newman
security ready Each custom cigar
order will take at least six
months from the start to finish.
The company has said that it is
capable of making more than 80
cigars as it intends to market
this for weddings, corporate
functions, and fraternity and
sorority gatherings.
Look, that's smart.
I think that they're trying to
tackle a, a niche that that
already exists, you know, and
make it a little more special.
Well, this isn't going to be
like, you know, Amazon drunk
buying because it takes six
months.
You know you can be like and
1:00 making my own cigar.
I mean, that's a good point.
They need to be more efficient
than a six month turn around.
Well, they got to age it for 12
months, 6 to 12 months, the age.
Oh, and they're underground.
Aging room?
They're underground.
They don't need to age it for 6
to 12 months.
You think the tobacco would
already be aged?
Yeah.
I think it'd be like 8 to 12
weeks.
Three to 12 months.
How do you know if you get a
three month or cigar or 12 month
or cigar?
The taste, yeah.
But when I when I select it does
it say if you pick this one it's
going to be an extra 9?
Months.
It's a little, it's a little
more complicated, yeah.
The unique program is possible
because JC Newman has the best
of both worlds are boutique El
Roche cigar factory.
Large.
Yeah, that's what I said in
Tampa, FL that can handcraft 80
perfect.
Perfect.
Cigars and our large Pensa cigar
factory in Italy, Nicaragua has
a vast library of age cigar
tobaccos that I have cherry
picked, said Drew Newman, 4th
generation.
It becomes a little more
complicated if you make it out
in in Nikka.
Yes, but they save money on the
labor though.
Not for that small of a
quantity.
It's it's a big pain in the ass.
Birth of a child too.
Are you having baby a baby for
you?
No, if I'm having a baby, I
remember I had baby for you.
I was a little busy.
I wasn't thinking, you know, we
only got 6 months left honey,
and I've got to get that cigar
made.
I got to punch that in.
I got to punch that in.
I think people would do it.
I don't know if I got a baby
coming.
I got 26, two 1650 extra
dollars.
I'm buying formula diapers.
Is this direct to consumer?
Are we going to be?
Direct to consumer.
Yeah.
Are we going to be in an
upheaval about it or what are we
doing?
I don't know.
Let's not carry.
I mean, what?
What's going on?
I like the people get upset
about that.
Why?
Don't you call Drew and get him
on the phone.
Oh wait, go ahead.
Which one?
Drew Newman.
No, we don't speak.
Oh, why haven't you guys get in
a fight?
Just doesn't know who I am I.
Haven't met him.
You've met him, sure.
He has no idea who I am.
Call Bobby.
Get Bobby on the.
Phone.
I don't have the road caster pro
connected.

OK, go ahead.
Geez Louise, this is a long
fucking article.
This isn't even long.
Oh, no, nevermind.
OK, good talk.
Oh, he did say something, but
you don't really care, right?
Humidity is the most important
factor in protecting the
integrity of handmade premium
cigars, as well as preserving
the intention of the
manufacturer.
That's his quote.
Humidity is the most important
thing.
Humidity.
Do you think that the humidity
is the most important thing?
I would go with tobacco.
You think tobacco is the most
important thing?
And a tobacco product.
I think if I'm having a cigar,
I'm more concerned with the
tobacco.
And then making sure it's OK,
we'll be the humidity.
Well, it's in the humidified
fresh.
Pack it's in the zip lock.
Fresh pack.
Zip fresh pack lock.

Well, I don't know how we're
going to reseal them, because
you can tear that top piece off.
It's kind of ragged sometimes.
OK, Because I never tear
straight.
Yeah, never.
OK.
All right.
Maya Selva.

Oh, we didn't go.
Yeah, I had no idea that Maya
Silva was still around.
They had good cigars back in the
day.
I didn't realize that they were
still making stuff.
The one cigar looks pretty cool.
It's got a band.
It's like this long because it's
got a snake.
That would be the Serpentine

I'm assuming that's Spanish for
Serpentine.

Serpentine Spanish for

We have other sizes available.
We recommend recommend you take

Congress passes a bill targeting
stolen Cuban trademarks.
Oh, what are we doing?
This story came out a year ago.
Last year, a bipartisan group of
members of Congress introduced
the No Stolen Trademark Honored
in America Act of 2023, a bill
that would prevent the US from
recognizing trademarks that were
confiscated.
The bill's authors made it clear
they were targeting trademarks
that were seized by the Cuban
government during the Cuban
Revolution.
Revolution.
Over the last few days, the bill
has suddenly passed both
chambers of Congress and now
heads to the desk of the
president, Joe Biden, to be
signed into law.
If I was him, I'd just be
pushing paper.
He doesn't know that there's
paper.
Did you see the video where he
got lost?
In the Amazon no.
He did a speech for the group
that's saving the Amazon.
Yeah.
And behind him is the Amazon.
No.
He finished his speech.
He turned around.
Just sort of wandered in the
jungle.
Went into the jungle, this poor
guy.
Poor man.
Oh my.
He.
Doesn't know where he's at most
days, I don't think.
The bill's text is incredibly
short.
Don't take these, it says.
Yeah, El, no, you take out.
It adds language to existing law
that would prevent the executive
branch and the US court system
from recognizing trademarks that
were confiscated in the actual
language.
There's no mention of Cuba that.
The bill's summary makes it
quite clear.
There's a long thing about the
thing, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, but it was
something, when all this isn't
clear, where the court would
find, oh, Cohiba, where's that?
I got to do something like this.
1997 General Cigar Company in
Cuba Tobacco have been fighting
about the US trademarks of
Cohiba.
Right, as in we don't
acknowledge.
Cuban Tobacco applied for
registration of the Cohiba mark
in Cuba in 1969, was a granted a
trademark in 1972, General
applied for mark in 1978 and in
December 2022.
The United States Trademark
Trial and Appeal Board in
December of 2022 cancelled
generals to Cohiba trade marks
in the USA, citing Article 8 of
the Inter American Convention
for Trademark and Commercial
Protection, a document known as
the Pan American Convention, to
which both the United States and
Cuba are parties.
Journalists fighting that ruin.
All that said, it's unclear
whether court could find a
Cohiba would be covered under
the new language in the No
Stolen Trademark Act.
Because we stole it a long time
ago.
Right.
It shouldn't count.
We took it a long time ago.
Well, while the evidence that
there was there was a brand
prior to the Cuban Revolution,
it's unclear if it was
registered, let alone
confiscated.
Most consider it to be a post
revolution brand whose original
origins are traced back directly
to Fidel Castro.
But was it registered?
Allegedly, Luciano has stepped
forward and said he owns a name
outright.
He had.
He got it from Fidel himself.
I knew it.
I knew he'd be involved.
He's always involved in
everything.
It's crazy, crazy.
Oliva Series V Roaring 20s.
Oh, have you heard about this?
No, it's a $300.00 cigar.
It's heading to stores.
Because why not one more
atrociously expensive cigar?
Almost 18 months ago, it was
first announced the most
expensive cigar in Oliva's
history is finally on its way to
stores.
Oh thank God yeah, they leave a
series V roaring 20 super
limited edition super limited.
It's a unique 6 by 60 double.
Perfection.
And it's a six by oh, double
perfecto, right?
It's a 6 by 60.
Like the rest of the Series V
line, it tastes terrible.
No, sorry.
Oh, that's not true.
Well, you've done it.
I did.
I added that it doesn't say that
here.
Oliva has good tobacco.
Oh, they have all.
Yeah, they have all the tobacco
except for the Cameroon.
They don't have all the tobacco,
but.
They do have the Cameroon
tobacco they.
Have good tobacco.
That's American.
Oliva has good tobacco.
Yes, yes they do.
They they make FQ cigars or FQ
makes from Oliva tobacco.
They used to.
That's a totally different
Oliva.
Is it really?
Yeah.
Is it really?
Yeah.
This is not John Oliva.
No.
Who makes these cigars?
Who makes what?
Cigars, the Oliva cigars, they
don't.
It's not made out of Oliva
family.
Tobacco.
Yeah, the Oliva family makes the
cigars.
What?
Yeah, there's two Oliva families
involved in in tobacco.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, but they have the exact
same name.
Is he like rival brothers or
something?
Are they?
Really.
Like I don't want to get it's
kind of soap operae, you know
what I mean?
There was a lost brother.
He was abandoned.
But he found himself on a
tobacco field.
Yeah.
And he just naturally went to.
It like this is mine.
Yeah, and and then he started to
develop.
It's crazy, It's remarkable,
it's a remarkable, it's a great
story.
Each box also not true but.
The release that only uses
different bands, but ones that
are much more.
Oh wait wait, we just need to
back up 6 by 6 E.
The rest of the Series V line
we'll use the Ecuadorian wrapper
over Nicaraguan binder and
fillers from Nicaragua, but
everything after that is
decidedly different from the
normal Series V.
It's a totally different,
totally different, yeah.
Totally different, yeah.
The release not only uses
different bands, but ones that
are much more intricate than the
smaller Where They Got It 3. 100
yeah it's 300 bucks but it come
with something but it.
Comes with a knife.
Should come with a Bluetooth
speakers.
One should come with.
Each box also comes with a gold
La Petite by Les Fine's lame
cigar knife.
Oh, it really does come with a
knife.
It really does come.
I thought you were just.
Fucking Oh no, no, it comes with
one of those knives that cuts,
you know, with a little notch in
the handle.
So cut your cigar.
Oh, it is functionally the same
as the other La Petite knives.
Amazing LA.
Petite.
What kind of knife do you have?
Oh, it's la Petite.
It's la petite.
Zion can only be acquired by
purchasing a box of the roared
20 cigars.
We'll take 12.
This is from the Vander Vander
Morale family of Cigars.
The Vander, The Vander Vander.
It's a long.
It's more letters than your
name, really.
Yes.
No.
Yes, not true 12345678 how many
do you have?
15.
Oh, exactly the same number.
No it doesn't.
VANDERMARLIERE Oh, you won more.
It's 14.
I just estimated it's a parent
company of Oliva is an investor
in Las Finds La Petite knives.
They're also a price $3 per
cigar, $3000 for a box of 10
Productions Limited, 300 boxes.
So that's the care of the one
that's $3,000,000 worth of
cigars.
Is it 3 million?
Wow, you're quite, you're quite
the mathematician. 2/3 of which
are to be sold in the USA.
Like some other companies, they
have made cigars at similar eye
popping prices.
Oliva says that it will donate
all of its revenue from the sale
of cigar to charity.
Maybe some, maybe not so much.
They leave a Helping Hands
Foundation which helps to ride
schooling for children in
Nicaragua.
Well, that's nice.
In addition to the knife, each
box also comes with a chance to
win.
A trip.
A trip for two to visit
Nicaragua to see the school
they're making.
Oh, there you go.
They go to the Liva Escula
Elemental.
Escuela.
That's what I said.
Escula, escula escula.
That's Spanish for school.
Yeah, OK.
It's an elemental elementary
school that's an elemental, an
elementary school in Nestle,
Nicaragua, the same city where
these cigars were rolled.
We're so excited to present this
cigar to the world, says Fred
Vendor.
Whatever that long V name is,
CEO Hi is the name again Family
of Cigars, the parent company of
Oliva.
Wow, moving on.
Well if you make a $300.00 cigar
you get a long ass story.
Apparently more statement was
made by nearly 18 months ago
while the project was.
It looks the same as it.
Did moving on, moving on.
Come on.
I think it's funny they covered
the cigars with gold do.
They.
Yes.
OK, but they we're going to be
all covered now.
They're only half colored, but
the gold is supposed to melt as
you smoke it.
You don't take it off.
Oh.
We're in a recession, right?
Exactly.
It melts.
How does it melt?
You cut me off.
It's like.
You never get.
The bottom half of each cigar
was covered with gold foil.
Yeah, it wasn't just decoration.
The cigars were designed to be
smoked with the gold still on
the bottom.
The gold will get hot enough and
eventually melt into the ash.
This is similar to a concept
that Marshall uses for his own
golden cigars.
Just breaks apart, that's all.
It melts.
It doesn't melt, it says it melt
separates.
They didn't say separate, they
said melt.
OK.
Are you questioning my
journalistic integrity, Michael?
I 100% always am questioning
your journalistic.
