honest opinions about things.

And sometimes those opinions,

they're, they are friendly.

Yeah, they get upset.

People get upset.

Get a little miff.

So look, I'm gonna tell you

right now that when it comes to

me reviewing a cigar.

When it comes to us reviewing a

cigar.

Thank you.

I was gonna say us sorry.

When it comes to us reviewing a

cigar, we're always gonna give

our honest opinion, of course.

And the fact of the matter is

that if somebody doesn't misstep

in the industry, I'm gonna say

it.

If.

If my friend is 50 lbs

overweight, I'm gonna tell him

he's 50 lbs overweight.

I'm not gonna say no, man, You

look good.

He does that.

People fucking when people make,

I do do that.

When people make mistakes and

people fuck up, it just happens.

We took points off a road leaf.

Would you?

Would you prefer me to be

dishonest about something and

then when you're when business

starts to tank you, you have no

idea what the fuck went?

On what happened but.

Everybody loved the cigar.

Mike, why didn't you tell me?

So, you know, I'm just, I'm just

glad.

I just want to address that,

man.

You know, if you're going to be

upset about it or, you know, for

one fucking pay for the

subscription so that you have an

opinion instead of a bootlegging

that shit, that's fucking dirty

as fuck.

It's 10 bucks a month just for

the audio, yeah.

It's 100 or something.

You know, and it's 15 now.

If you share that stuff, I'm

going to figure we're going to

figure out who is we.

Always find out.

Yeah, it doesn't.

It's not long.

It doesn't.

It's not hard for us to do that.

We find out who does it and you

know, we'll talk to you about it

and hopefully you don't repeat

it again if you do.

Like if I find that there's a

new customer and then they're

just sharing this shit, we're

just going to turn you off, man.

It's just that simple And as far

as brand owners and

manufacturers that get upset

with us, us.

No, that's just you.

You or get upset with me.

You can be upset.

That's perfectly acceptable.

You can be upset with me.

I'm not hard to fucking find.

You can call me and where and we

can have a conversation about

it.

So you know, I am who I am and

and I've been in this industry

for 15 years.

I'm not about to fucking change

for anybody.

If I feel like you made a

misstep, I'm gonna tell you when

you made a misstep.

I don't care if we're best

friends, so do better.

Do better.

Do fucking better.

And if you want to talk to me,

I'll you know where to find me.

PC-8 You know where to find me.

You know where to find me Monday

through Friday.

I'm here at the Guy Hustler, so

well, mostly Monday through.

Friday mostly.

Mostly, mostly, mostly to

Friday.

You know, I don't, I don't fully

understand the, the, the

statements of punishing other

people that are affiliated with

me either.

That makes no sense, you know,

just because of my.

Opinion.

I thought you was like, what did

somebody say to me?

But no, I figure out what you're

talking.

About So if you know, don't go

and chastise my friends because

they're my friends.

That doesn't.

That's stupid.

And you just come close my

account.

That's fine.

Go shut me down.

That's fine.

If you really, if you really

don't want to, if you don't want

to talk to me about things, then

then fucking you can punish me.

I don't care.

That's fine.

I'll be OK, I promise.

They can't think where it won't

You know, I mean, you can't fuck

Oh, by the way, when?

Romatron.

Yeah, I forgot he was the one

who gave us the pots.

Yeah, yeah, he said.

They need a little seasoning or.

Something.

They need some.

Tarnishing.

They need some.

Some fixing, upping or

something?

We love them the way they are.

Yeah, that's what I told the

guy.

We use them as ashtrays.

They're fine.

Yeah, we're not putting eggs in

there.

I mean, but it would make a nice

little egg.

It would.

It would, yes.

What size is this?

I guess we ought a little.

Perfecto.

It's on the sticker.

It's like on the black.

Thing.

Oh, is it on this like a?

Perfecto.

That's really small.

How am I supposed to see that?

Los Tardos.

I can't see that.

So I had kind of a chill

weekend.

I didn't really do much Sunday.

We, we went to lunch on the

river on Saturday, and then

Sunday we went boating with our

friends.

Oh, boating the Dave and Lauren

again.

The submarine commander.

Ex submarine commander.

Nice.

Yeah, it's a nice weekend.

Adrian's gonna go paddle

boarding Saturday, but I talked

her out of it with the ankle.

That really didn't seem like the

best.

Probably not a good.

Idea, right.

I go, honey, nothing's gonna,

you know, you know, Well, first

it doesn't do that and they go,

well, it's gonna move somewhere.

It's water, you know, ankle

tightens up, you fall in the

water, hit your head or

something and then you take

pictures and then.

You know, my idiot husband

fucking.

Right.

Well, that's good.

You know, I I definitely got

like a sniffle.

Yeah.

So this is lovely.

That's.

What I thought it was and I'm

like, Oh no, I'm actually, I'm

actually sick.

I got AI got a cold for sure.

I got a cold.

My fucking leg's fucked up.

My back's been bothering me.

My neck's been.

I'm like, I'm a fucking mess.

Oh wow.

All all in time for is.

The back from the limping, you

think?

I think the the back is from the

injury.

For the the, the car thing and

then.

And then because of the fact

that I have to wear the boot

right, I off shift right.

Yeah.

I went to a birthday party on

Friday with Jax, which was

entertaining.

Yeah, Had some kids that had a

physical altercation.

That was a.

Fight at the Yeah.

Oh, and and it wasn't you.

No.

Oh wow.

No.

What Were they fighting over a

girl?

Were they fighting over a girl?

Who got first?

Place last time when we told you

like the next fight like you

have to end search yourself,

right?

You're supposed to be part of

the fight, I.

Actually, did have to insert

myself to separate these kids,

Did you?

Zip over any little scooter, I.

I hobbled off my scooter and

grabbed the kid and said stop

man, what are you?

Doing so was it wasn't any of

your children?

No.

Oh no.

You just let him go.

It wasn't your party.

Well, the party wasn't in your

house, not one of your children,

was it?

Was it Levi?

No.

OK 'cause I would've.

See, he's like one away from

your children's.

Practically my kid.

Yeah.

Yeah, I can see you jumping in

for that.

But if it's just two kids?

Yeah, well, I can't.

I can't not let.

Were there other parents there?

There were some around.

Around, around, my guy said.

That were there.

The two dads of the kids blowing

money. 20 on my kid and my kids.

Got yours?

OK, I'll see you 20 I.

Don't know, man.

You know, I'm just not.

I'm not built to just kind of

stand there, right?

And I think that something

sometimes.

What's been your physical

condition?

The last thing you need is to

get knocked down and roll

around.

But you don't think about that.

Ask Adrian.

True.

Oh.

Yeah, yeah, but he's all upper

body.

Who this guy?

Me, he's all over body.

Yeah, but the lower half is what

hurts.

I'm not.

Well, yeah, but he doesn't have

to use his lower half.

Like he could just use his

upper.

Half.

Well, he didn't take the

scooter.

Roll.

What do you mean him?

All upper body?

Yeah, I mean, hold on, hold on,

hold on.

What do you mean them all over

body?

You're like Hulk Hogan up top,

so I.

Don't work out legs or

something.

Well, I didn't say you don't

work out legs, but your upper

body's definitely probably

stronger than your lower body.

I don't know, man.

My legs are pretty strong.

I work out legs three times a

week.

They used to be.

No, they still are.

I would say at the moment,

Michael, your upper body is

stronger than your lower.

Body.

I would say in general I'm a

fucking mess.

Well yeah, to be honest.

But if you had to go right now,

you could not do a leg press.

Well, right now, definitely not.

I would say a leg press is

probably off the table.

There you go.

But you can still do a chest

press.

Yes.

So bench press.

Bench press.

Thank you.

I, I well, as soon as I said I

know that just does not sound

right at all.

Not chest press, chest price.

Chest flies.

So yeah, hell, that was

entertaining.

Today is my mother's birthday.

Oh, does she know?

I don't know.

I haven't talked to her yet.

Today.

Oh yeah, he's out.

No, we're going to go over there

after work today.

Oh, she doesn't know we're

coming.

Oh, nice.

Even if you told her, she

probably wouldn't.

Yeah, you know what I mean?

Like, bro, I'm not going to know

either way.

Yeah, her thing now is she

thinks her golf cart batteries

are going bad.

Like, wow, you bought those

after dad died.

They're not even 2 years old.

They're fine.

Stop putting water in a lot of

time.

They're low.

Yeah, she likes them stay top.

They got to stay filled all the

way filled.

Now there's acid stains on the

garage floor.

There's acid stains on the

driveway.

Yeah, you're only supposed to

you.

You can't fill them all the way

to the top.

You have to fill them a little

bit below that.

Man, we even gave her an article

that says you're only supposed

to do it once every two months.

I'm not reading that.

She's.

Not reading your MSNBC bullshit?

She gets.

She keeps that.

Fox News garbage.

Away from me and now the At the

moment it's the golf carts,

right?

Yeah, well, I mean we've solved

the people on in the in the roof

or whatever.

Those.

Yes, yes, The roof thing's gone.

Yeah, that's.

We forgot them.

We've moved on.

So now it's a golf.

Cart matters.

The bear.

There was a bear outside.

There was somebody on the roof.

Right.

No, the bear was on the roof.

The bear was on the roof.

Bear was on and shit in the

yard.

Oh my God, Bear on the roof.

Yeah, yeah, A lot of noise.

Bear on the roof.

That's scary.

Bears don't climb in a house

bomb.

I heard it.

It was on the roof.

Nice.

OK, fine.

Whatever.

So I went to the airport today

and I set up my TSA pre-check.

Yeah, which I'm very excited

about.

You have to let us know how

that.

Works, so it's clear.

Plus TSA.

There's like to find ways to

just get away.

From I'm just trying to get the

fuck away from everybody.

There's yeah, but you don't use

clear then though.

Yeah, it's.

No, it's.

It's one or the other.

No, it's both.

So Clear sent me an e-mail

saying, hey, if you want to sign

up for TS, if you want to sign

up for TSA Pre-check through

Clear.

Come on down.

I said fuck yeah, I do.

So I went down and they go, are

you leaving today?

I said no, I'm not leaving

today.

I'm leaving Wednesday.

So let's make sure all this

shit's ready to go and she's

like, well, it'll probably be

ready.

You should be fine without any

issues.

I'm like, perfect TSA pre-check,

baby.

Keep my shoes on.

So do you go on the clear and

then go on the TSA?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So what's the big deal?

You keep your shoes on.

I don't have.

I have slip on.

Shoes.

I have 75,000 electronics on me

between my CPAP machine, my

fucking laptop, now my fucking

Osmo pocket three and I want to

bring my fucking drone.

What was the last thing you

said?

The pocket three thing that I

used.

No, he said.

Oh, the camera thing.

Is that what it's called?

So yeah, not to mention

rechargeable batteries for

boosters.

Whenever the whenever shit dies,

you know there's a.

There's your check luggage.

But what if it does on the way

there?

It dies on the way there it.

Doesn't help me.

There's plugs, it doesn't help

and airports.

So now he just wants to.

Be in the the pre-check.

I'm not telling Greg.

They're they're gonna oh, he

doesn't know he.

Has no idea.

Oh, he's gonna leave.

Him is he.

He's in clear.

Well, first of all, is.

He in clear?

I don't know.

Let him travel.

He's.

In clear yet.

First of all, they wouldn't

allow him in TSA pre-check

anyways.

Why not?

He's a terrorist.

Right.

He gets snagged at the all the

places with the clubs and stuff

when we go.

I remember when the when they

first initiated those X-ray

things with a Yeah yeah, Greg

would always do like the I'm

opting out.

Dude, you're a fucking.

I'd like to get May.

I like to get pat down.

Like what are you?

Doing now, they're like, OK, one

whole check.

Time.

You know how stupid you are

right now.

You know, stupid.

You are.

Maybe he's a little embarrassed

about the poop.

Little pee, pee little.

Side of his winky, maybe?

Maybe they caught him like they

started laughing when he got up.

Maybe they snicker a lot.

Wow.

You know he's not hiding

anything in there.

He's, he's clear to.

Go clear.

No, Sir.

Just keep going.

You're.

Fine.

You're fine.

Yeah.

Yeah, if that's a gun.

Hey.

We're going to be afraid of

that.

It's got to be the smallest gun

I've ever seen in my life.

I don't think they have TSA

Pre-check in Vegas on the way

out.

Well, they don't have clear at

both terminals, but I think they

may have it now either way, but

they.

They've got a new 'cause it's

the lead story, actually.

They've got a new self screening

security checkpoint in Vegas,

really, where you go up and you

talk to a little screen.

Oh, that's.

Nice.

It's got to take fucking

forever.

Yeah, especially the ones that

can't fucking speak real

languages anyways.

Then the pilot phase of an

autonomous self screening

checkpoint system scheduled

difficult open.

It opens on March 11th, so it's

just started.

Oh, good.

So we'll be right in the thick

of it.

Kink all the bugs out when we're

there, huh?

All.

Right.

So don't get in that.

Line the machine's down on the

way again the.

Machine's down.

But the the the video footage,

it's it's ATV.

You stand in front of the TV

screen, they ask you the

questions.

It's a person working at a

keyboard somewhere else in the

airport and I guess they hit the

button and goes, I'm sorry, you

have to be scanned.

I don't.

Decline.

Wow, one person.

Yeah, it only looked like 1

screen.

I did go to SO.

They're gonna get rid of all

the, you know, TSA people

running around.

Oh God, it's close.

Go ahead.

What were you saying?

I did go to Kenny Space Center

for a field trip with Josh.

Oh yeah, How was that?

Was that since the last show?

It was Thursday, yeah.

Oh, I haven't.

I haven't been to Kennedy Space

Center in probably like 15

years.

It's kind of disappointing.

It's not.

Like, it's not that nice There's

not like, oh, like another old

rocket.

There's not a whole bunch of

going on.

It's like a museum with some

interaction.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm like OK.

Did you ride the Shuttle

Experience or whatever it's

called?

No line was too long.

Did they have?

Like a zero gravity room or

something like that.

I didn't see that.

No.

Boy, that'd be nice if they did

though.

They got a they had a

playground.

That's where we went to that.

Oh, we're climbing on the old

rocket.

So when I was a kid, my my

mother was a chaperone for

SeaWorld and we came up here and

then bitch fucking took us to

every single show and they had

just opened that playground up

and we all wanted to go on the

playground.

And he's like, no, no, we're

going to go see the fucking sea

lions and all those other

bullshit.

Oh, and nice.

Let's see, Otters.

That's why you go to SeaWorld

for the show, yeah.

So that shit has been etched

into my brain for all of

eternity.

You didn't do any of the show.

So when my kid says, hey, I want

to go on the playground, I'm

like, you could fucking.

You know what, dude?

We gotta spend the whole day

here.

Let me know.

I'll be in the playground.

Anybody want to come?

I've been waiting on this moment

my whole life.

Let's go.

Let's go buddy.

Whatever you want to to do.

Fucking you climb that.

Fucking do.

They have shows.

I think so.

We did like a couple things.

What is there even to do there?

I mean, if you didn't do the

shuttle thing where you sit in

and it goes.

Yeah, I remember that one.

Yeah, I did.

I remember doing that.

We did the Apollo, Saturn thing

where you sit in like these, the

actual terminals, in order that

people use to get to the moon

and like they.

Oh, you sit at like the desk

with the computer on it.

Well, yeah, well, you you sit.

You sit in a row and viewing it,

so we did that.

Oh, that was no 4D like.

No, there's a there's a bunch of

rocket ships there.

Right, A bunch of old rocket

sitting around.

Standing up right.

What?

What's it cost to get in there

now?

Have no idea.

'Cause you went on the school

thing?

Yeah, it's.

Got It's got to be at least

40-50 bucks.

You think it's I'm thinking

2530?

No, it's got to be at least 50.

So Jax lost his backpack.

Oh, my Lord.

Oh, it's.

On a rocket, set it up to the

space station.

Where's your bag?

I thought.

You air tagged those.

No, not this one.

Oh, of course not.

It's the one he lost.

No, we got it back.

Oh, yeah, we got it back.

But there's a whole circus that

I had to do in order to.

Get It was like it was like in

Billy Madison, the bus driver

was eating everybody's lunches.

Who would?

Steal 30 bag lunches, Right?

So.

What'd you have to do to get it?

Had to go back to information

and to go talk to the lady.

Oh yeah, that was crazy.

Did you?

Well, you said you were excited

for this because of the other

dads that were.

Oh yeah, man.

The trip in did you have, Did

you have to ride the bus?

No.

So you got to drive your own.

Car I took my car, yeah.

How many dads did you squeeze in

that just?

My 2.

Just my two buddies.

So just three of you just total,

yeah.

You gotta be the.

Other cigar smoke.

What was there cigar?

Smoking, of course.

Was there drinking?

Did somebody bring him?

No, there's no drinking.

He was hoping for drinking I.

Remember, there is no drinking.

You talk about the drinking.

All right, let's go.

We smoked less than I thought we

had.

Like one there and one home.

What'd you think you were gonna

do?

It's 45 minutes to an hour

drive.

Maybe two, I don't know.

Everybody puff fast.

Well, if you get the little

guys.

Yeah, take a little.

Take the raw chance.

Yeah, I you know what I smoked,

ironically enough, and I

actually was suit suited to the

situation.

I smoked the Johnny Tobacconut.

Oh, huh.

That's.

A good cigar.

Good cigars.

There you go.

So there was that.

Nice.

So that's so not going back.

Not really compelled to go, no.

No, another field, you know, you

got Teddy in line and Justice.

You think if they go to Kennedy,

you're going to be a chaperone?

Oh, of course.

Oh, OK.

Yeah.

That's a chaperone thing, but

you're not packing up the family

going.

We had such a great time.

We're all.

Going to Space Center, you gotta

be like SA, like there are kids

that are into that shit that are

like fucking space.

Well, yeah.

Oh, that's the Apollo Seven,

yeah.

You know how many is that like

Few and far between.

Yeah, two kids in entire class.

So like realistically?

Put the plan together, her

child.

Yeah, so you know, if justice

was all about fucking space,

it'd be cool.

I'd like let's go to the Space

Center.

Well, maybe if you start now, by

the time he gets up there, he'll

be terribly excited to go.

I think a Disney experience will

be better and they all go to

Star Wars.

Jax was more hell bent about ice

cream and all these other

things.

Oh, when did the space the

astronaut we?

Got that, too.

Oh, he had.

He had several different ice

creams, cookies, all kinds of

shit.

And it sounds like he had a

great time 'cause he had all

this, these sweets and.

Oh, he had a blast.

And then he went to the

playground.

Yeah, it was amazing.

And lost his backpack.

So it wasn't.

Lost his backpack.

Dad found it for him.

I don't have to give up with

this.

Dad will find it.

Not my problem.

I need more ice cream though.

Is there more ice cream?

And will there be ice cream?

So there you go.

We're gonna do some pills.

Fun packs?

Sure.

Oh, we're quickly, quickly in

that.

Well, we're way past the time.

Our way, Yeah.

We are I.

Guess.

I was having a great time

talking about the ice cream.

You should have brought us ice

cream, just so you know.

I'm sorry.

Welcome to Cigar Hustlers

podcast feature Phil's Fun Fact.

Hello peoples.

This is a long 1:00 Earlier this

week the USDA finalized its

ruling on the voluntary labeling

of products Product of the USA

or Made in the USA to require

all products with this label to

have come from livestock born,

raised process and packages in

the US.

Up until now, the rule only

required the 11 of the steps be

in the US for it to qualify.

So just like Phil's trip to

Thailand, some of it was

suspect.

Next time you get inspired to

make a delicious rib eye steak

dinner or decide to go for a

beautiful rack of ribs, look for

a label that says product of the

USA.

Unless you're going for a Philly

cheese steak, in which case it

doesn't matter because it won't

be good anyways.

It's up a 5 1/2 by 50.

Yeah, 5 1/2.

I liked the post on there

yesterday from I forget the

gentleman's name, but he posted

the SBC 16/18/20 and 22 labels.

It was Jason Hawkins, wasn't it?

No.

Oh, I thought it was Jason.

That was Michael Ella Theroux, I

think.

I thought that was pretty cool,

hey.

He's a good guy.

I haven't seen, I haven't seen

anybody post like all of them

together.

I thought it was a shirt or a

Hatter when I first saw it.

I had to scroll back to it.

That'd make a neat shirt if you

could put all of them.

All of them together.

I would be.

Then you can never make another

one.

What am I going to do for 24?

Wait, you got to do the?

20 Blend it now once you release

it in 25 is.

That the way it works, yeah.

Yeah, 2 two years every.

Two years.

Yeah, you got to do the

anniversary box.

The anniversary box where you

have all of them.

Oh.

This being the number 5 or the

fifth one, Yeah, yeah, you do

the five year anniversary box,

you put them all in there.

That'd be.

Dope.

OK, we'll be heading down there

soon anyway, so it should be

interesting.

Oh yeah.

What was that, April?

Yeah.

From the four quarters of the

world, all the cigar industry

news you could possibly need.

The Cigar Hustler Podcast Report

with Mike too the.

PCA special.

The PCA news, special PCA news

this week, they want you to

It's in a new location, the Las

Vegas Convention Center Central

Hall.

So I guess it's a different

building.

Is that the upstairs or

downstairs?

That's got to be the downstairs

Wonder if that's a new one they

were working on or something?

Guess we'll find out.

We get there, you know.

Go ahead, Dojo was covering a

bunch of stuff.

Yes, they did Friday.

Yeah, but.

I didn't watch it and they

snubbed us.

They snubbed us.

Yeah, That's why I didn't watch

it.

Wow.

John Mctavish tried to get us

in, but we are not on the list

of approved brands they were

talking about.

List of.

Approved brands not maybe

approved is the wrong word, but

they had a list of brands that

they wanted to talk about.

We were not on the.

List on the list on the list.

How?

How is post time never on the

list big?

Shocker.

I think we're getting some

media.

What's a not not free.

Backlash.

Thank you.

Yes, some backlash from maybe

some of our stuff.

I don't think so.

We don't talk, we.

Usually don't talk bad about

other men.

We don't really talk shit about

Dojo.

We call him.

Gut him for some of them, Yeah.

So we.

Never said his name.

Right.

What the fuck?

Well, we laid.

We laid kind of hard on the

there.

He's one of the pair for the

pants.

So what?

Then?

We're in the yellow pants.

So.

Maybe he's a little soft dark, I

don't know.

I don't think it was a big deal.

I think he's hurt that.

Was a long time ago.

Wasn't it?

And you also.

You have not been back on the

show since your original since

our Star Wars.

Boxing thing, which was fucking

hilarious.

It was hilarious, but it's not.

Serious.

Maybe we're just not the serious

people.

So we talk about serious.

Stuff.

No, we don't.

You're reading. 5 pages of

serious stuff.

Yeah, bad jokes.

This is a fucking problem with

this.

Industry is it be fucking people

are so full of themselves.

There's so much egos.

Yeah, sure, just relax.

But it's really only.

Two of them that sort of

snubbish.

Everybody else doesn't.

Oh, I'm just referencing.

Everybody else in the industry

as far as brand owners or

manufacturers.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like how fucking.

Other media how fucking up tight

they are.

Like, yo, just fucking calm

down.

Just calm down, I saw.

Your on the show tonight is you

and Coop, so maybe you can ask

him, but he's not part of Dojo,

no?

No, but.

You used to be on his or you

have been in the past.

His virtual trade show he does

before PCA also likes to mix it.

Up he's doing 4.

Nights of it This year, four

nights you couldn't.

Even have one night.

I don't know what to tell.

You.

Yeah.

Who?

I mean how?

Many are there.

Let's let's think about it right

instead.

Of the 17 hour marathon show, I

think he's bringing it up into

four different nights.

Perfect.

He's already done 2.

So I think he's got, well, he

would have at least two more

than before Friday, Saturday,

Saturday.

Is that when she actually starts

on Saturday?

Yeah, yeah.

It's fine.

Well, I know we're not.

You're.

Not concerned.

It's like just a little higher.

It's like something enough

fucking.

I'm used to it at this point.

It's weird.

It's the if.

It's the opposite, to be honest.

All right, you can save on.

Transportation for those of you

staying at the resort's World

Las Vegas.

Is that what we're staying?

Yeah.

Use the Las Vegas Loop, also

known as the Tesla Tunnel, to go

to and from the center.

There's a $5 cost to use the

Tesla tunnel for the hotel.

For those staying on other

properties, all PCA hotels are

within 5 to 10 minute walk.

I'm just gonna rent a car.

Oh, we're gonna drive back and.

Forth every day.

Yeah.

Oh, that sounds perfectly.

Sounds sounds good idea to me.

Shotgun.

No blitz for Evers.

What the hell was this?

Dude.

If I just want you to know, if

you don't save that as a sound

clip because that was perfectly

clear.

Shotgun.

No blitz, no fucking.

And then he goes at the end.

Oh dude, amazing.

I just want to get it out there.

Shotgun no blitz.

Forever is it'll be a van or an.

SUV or something.

Download the app to make it

easier to navigate the trade

show.

I've got the app on my phone.

Do you I?

Just got a.

Reference to see where certain

people are.

Pack your badge.

Make sure you always have your

PCA badge with you at all times.

Give you access to the trade

show floor.

Don't be late, don't miss out on

top quality education.

I guess Friday is an all day

seminar day.

The PCs don't miss cigar, right?

What you want to do?

Is sell this members benefits

want.

To know you how you dues are

being turned into big benefits.

They have an annual meeting, fun

on the floor.

I'll be plenty of exhibitors and

things to do on the trade show

floor.

Will there be?

Sushi.

No.

Down on the trade show, Good

sushi.

Get ready to party.

This year, it'll be two

opportunities to party and

celebrate with your industry

peers.

Opening party sponsored by Crown

heads.

Oh, we probably can't go way

easy.

Easy.

We didn't drive into the brand.

Oh.

Well, EP Curlier.

Don't like his either.

So Willie held at the Las Vegas

Convention Center hall from 5:30

to 7:00 PM on March 22nd.

This year is the Best of the

Leaf Awards.

We're probably not getting what

I love.

I don't think so.

We.

Have run awards.

Though honoring the best in.

Tobacco Sunday, March 24th from

6 to 7:30 PM at the Las Vegas

Convention Center.

Wow.

We should get one of those.

Microphones and stand in the

hall across from it.

And we'll announce our awards

while they're announcing their

awards.

You know what's funny?

Is like, I usually go into this

show and and it's a lot of

emotions and I'm usually super

excited and I'm thinking, all

right, this is going to be

fucking awesome.

And then usually come like day

one or day two, like I get

kicked in the teeth pretty hard

and I'm like fuck whatever on to

the next, right?

And just keep moving forward.

This year I'm so numb to it.

I'm just like, OK, fuck it.

I don't care.

I just don't care anymore.

I'm in a.

Teenage one way or the other.

Yeah.

No, there aren't.

I'm.

In I'm in a bunch of physical

fucking pain at this point, and

I'm just like, whatever, dude, I

don't fucking care.

I think it'll be good.

It's been 10 years.

Of me as a retailer.

It's been 10 years of me as a

wholesaler, 15 years of me as a

fucking retailer.

And I'm just like, whatever,

bro, you're stuck in the

thinker.

Yeah, this is a big one.

'Cause you're releasing justice,

Yeah, I.

Guess I just don't care anymore.

Oh.

Look it.

And you know, it'll probably be

where it's the fucking biggest

one, it seemed like.

We got a lot of appointments.

We do have a lot of.

Appointments.

All right, by participating in

the trade show, you hereby agree

to abide by the following

There's a list of media rules

this year.

Don't be an asshole.

Rules, Rules.

For media people.

We have media badges, so you got

to pay attention.

I have a media badge.

Yes, OK.

Don't during trade show hours.

I respect the time of the

exhibitors.

I will not interrupt or disrupt

any conversations.

I understand this is important

time to them.

OK, I'm not doing that one.

Yeah, we're.

Absolutely.

Out of that one I'm doing that

one just.

Mark these as we go.

I will not request solicit,

otherwise ask manufacturer for

free goods including.

Be our last.

Year to get media passes, just

so you know, we'll just switch

the passes.

I will not solicit.

For advertising any other show.

I am not responsible.

For my own.

Oh, OK.

I will be responsible for my own

property and my own equipment.

I will not hold PCA responsible

for damages, theft, or other

consequences to my equipment at

the show unless it gets broken

while it's there.

Unless.

If Scott smashes it, there you

go, I.

Understand that no person under

the age of 21 will admit it to

the show.

I have to card people apparently

now as they come in.

Excellent.

Do you have ID?

You have ID.

It's a members only event that I

am attending for the purposes of

covering the show in the

capacity of a media

professional.

Oh, professional.

Let's cross that one.

And member of the.

Press OK.

I will not give badges to anyone

outside my company.

Oh, well, that's a problem too.

Yeah, I can do that.

All right, those.

Are the rules.

I will be responsible for my own

property.

We'll just go with that.

I'm putting you in hockey.

Gear Like goalie gear.

Wow, what rules?

Those are those rules.

No, there's more.

Rules.

You know what, though?

I'm going to be.

Honest.

I'm going to be honest.

Those four rules, they all make

sense.

Sure they do.

Because I would be super pissed

off if I'm talking to somebody

and they, hey, I'm like, no, I

mean like you go up to Nick.

And you just grab him and try to

steal his stuff off the counter.

Yeah, that's fine.

That's fine.

That's totally that doesn't

apply.

These are rules for everybody

else, not rules for me.

Oh, I see.

As far as like.

Trying to peddle fucking

advertisement space.

I get that, yeah.

Time and a place, you know,

right?

Just establish the relationship.

If you have a meeting, is.

It possible to talk about it

then?

You think like a meeting has a

meeting with you?

Is it possible to solicit you

for?

Yeah, if you're interested

after.

The interview Just so you know,

if you're interested, we always

have open spaces.

All right, cool.

Well, doesn't the media get in?

Early.

No, we're about.

To do cover that, next No

media's allowed on the show

floor during set up.

No media's allowed on the trade

show floor until it opens each

day at 10:00 AM, Saturday and

Sunday at 9:00 AM or Saturday

and Sunday or and Monday it's

you're allowed in at 9:00 AM,

yeah.

Regular open hours.

Regular open hours?

Yeah 'cause.

Last year, they.

Were allowed in early, right an

hour early.

Well, I didn't go last year, but

normally it was an hour early,

yeah.

That kind of sucks for.

Them somebody complaining look.

We got free passes.

I mean, you know, we got to give

up something.

You know, but nobody wants to be

there an hour early.

Well, media.

Probably like going in because

then yeah, but the people that

want.

That you want anyone to talk to,

they don't want to fucking talk.

Is not there an hour early?

No, Skip's not there till an

hour after Fucking.

To lunch, right?

Yeah, Yeah.

About. 12 You know what I think?

Last year, actually, he did show

up early.

Did he?

Yeah.

And it kind of.

I was taking work for it.

I was kind of taken aback a

couple days.

Yeah, but.

What the fuck are you?

Doing out here it's.

Cats and dogs and raining out

well.

They were.

I mean, they had.

A lot of people.

That's probably why they had a

lot of.

People.

They always have a lot of

people.

'S.

Even the year they had four.

Chairs.

They had a lot of people's all

right.

The Hoya Cabinetta Lancero

returned for limited release at

PCA 20240.

That's that's.

That's lovely.

Oh, I saw this morning.

That Esteban is starting a new

cigar with another gentleman?

Yeah.

Is that you?

No.

Oh, you.

Wanna talk about that?

Sure, let's talk about that.

How long are you gonna address

that shit?

I Coop released it this morning.

I didn't have time to pull the

story, but I did see the

headline.

Yeah, so he gave it.

Out to 100 retailers, right?

Yeah, his top retailers, right,

top.

Retailers from the Guay Moreau

for you to try or whatever.

Oh, how would how would he know?

From the Guay Moreau I have that

information.

Well, that's what that was a

nice.

Question.

You would have had to have given

it to him, so how would he know

what his he doesn't have?

Fucking.

Correspondence to me at all 00,

so I guess we didn't get.

Into Detroit?

No, no, no.

We.

Didn't get any to try, right.

Which is perfectly acceptable as

far as I'm concerned, right?

And the reality is that you

normally, when you're full of

shit in this industry, you

fucking stay away from me.

So, like, I'm not surprised.

Oh yeah, I guess.

Yeah, that's really how that.

Works.

You know, like I'm not afraid of

the conflict.

No, no, you.

Thrive on conflict.

I do.

I just feel more.

Comfortable, right?

I just feel.

More.

I like it better.

If you don't like me.

Yeah, this.

You know what?

Listen, I know where I stand.

Let's just iron this out, right?

I don't want you to like me

because.

Maybe you don't really like me.

I really believe that.

Friendships are forged better

through the conflict.

Oh yeah, one way or the other,

Whether it's an external

situation where you have to deal

with a conflict or it's

something between two different

people and you sort it out and

move forward, I think that you

become better friends that way.

Oh, honestly?

Yeah.

And if you're not willing to go

through the Is he?

Or you would have no idea if

he's showing up at the show or

not?

I would assume not.

Has he ever shown?

Up by the show?

Yes, he went one year.

Yeah, had to be two.

Thousand Yeah, yeah. 2020 I.

Think that you know, the reality

is that everybody thinks it's

easy.

Everybody thinks that doing this

shit is easy to do, and nobody

knows what the fuck they're

talking about.

And this is how I'm going to do

it.

Like it's reading the story

about.

How he's selling it?

What?

How?

Who's selling it for?

Him.

I mean, he can't be doing the

luge guy.

Oh, Lugeo.

No, no.

No, no, I.

Don't know, I can't be bothered

with it so right.

All right, Carlos and Maria

Orgasmo Limited Edition, is

debuting at the PCA 2024

Orgasmo, the next cigar in the

Freud cigar company, is getting

ready to release its second of

three cigars for its Carlos and

the storyline and serves as a

follow up to the Amorio, a line

named for everlasting love and

Gerard Gerald Tripped, a

director of operations for Freud

Cigar Company told Half Wheel.

The third line, which is not yet

named, is looking like APCA 2025

I'm looking forward.

To the PCA 2025 release, I heard

about what the name is.

You want to hear it?

Sure, Ejaculario.

Oh yeah.

Yeah, it's just.

It's just.

Progressive.

Oh, it's going to come with.

A name that represents an

extension of love.

Yeah.

So that fits.

Perfectly.

It's orgasmo and then

ejaculario.

Oh, it's not.

Yeah, this.

What's the?

Next one and then like they're.

Only doing 3 and.

Then I heard that.

To look split going to black,

places.

It's going to be fantastic,

the thought process.

Yeah, it's.

Pretty detailed.

Story This is regular.

Cigarnos.

That's all the PCA stuff.

We've covered all the other

releases on the other week.

Well, you know, but the one

thing.

That we didn't really tap on,

that we tapped briefly on last

week, was the Nick Melello

departure of Agonorsa and going

we talked.

About that.

Oh, on the Patreon, we talked

about it.

Oh, that's right, we didn't.

So, OK, what else did you find

out?

Well, I just you.

Know the one thing that I called

everybody we could possibly?

Think of the one thing I want.

That I want, and if everybody

kind of understand is like the

owner of Aguinorza and owner of

Pepin Garcia, They fucking hate

each other.

Oh, do they?

They absolutely despise each

other.

So in order, like, to move over

to that factory is the biggest

fuck you, quite the yeah.

So so I.

Want to know What the fuck?

Here's the funny.

He's not.

Fucking answering.

Here's what's funny about this

industry is that when people are

outraged or upset or whatever,

media doesn't cover it, right?

I don't know why you're like, Oh

no, we might upset somebody

like, but that's that's fucking

media, right?

You're supposed to.

Like you're supposed to be.

Turned on the news yet?

Lately, you're supposed they're

all.

Afraid a brand's gonna get mad

at him and and not talk to them?

Oh well, fuck that guy.

I mean, just be neutral in the

scenario.

Hey, why did you do this?

Are you fucking pissed off?

Like, what did Agonorce do that

upsets you?

I'm curious.

Just the.

Facts like just tell me.

What?

You know what made you, and if

you want to be diplomatic about

it, whatever, go ahead.

Go right the fuck ahead 'cause

I'm gonna, once we hang up, I'm

gonna read and say I think

here's what I think, right?

This is this is how.

We're digging.

I have this.

Info, but that is.

That is a big fuck you.

That is a huge fuck you to do

something.

I forgot to dim the lighting and

I just.

Realized.

Oh, that's fine.

Whatever.

God damn it.

Now mid mid two.

There you go.

Perfect.

It's a huge fuck.

You sure?

Yeah.

So, you know, like, how does

that work?

Is Nick still good with them?

Do they look the other way when

they see each other?

I mean.

Well, maybe.

We can get Riley.

Are there booths next to each

other?

I don't know.

I don't.

Know if you look, maybe we can

get.

Terrence Riley going a little

walk with us.

We'll walk him over to Nick's

booth.

You know what?

Finally, if you've ever wondered

what?

The world of counterfeit cigars

in the US looks like the

Miami-Dade Police Department has

glimpsed into the part of the

process.

On March 11th, Miami-Dade Police

arrested Jorge Gomero, 52, of

10, of Miami.

We don't give her his address on

multiple felony charges, some

related to stolen goods, others

related to counterfeit cigar

brands.

Bans counterfeit since.

January the.

Police have been investigating

Gomero and his business, El

Baraton, a retail store in Miami

that's expected to operate as a

fence.

After arresting a different

person for theft.

That suspect indicated that they

sold they sold the stolen goods

to Gomero.

Police began investigating

Gomero, noticing that various

individuals would enter El

Baron, have bags full of items

and leave without them,

including performing undercover

sales of allegedly stolen goods

to Gomero and his wife.

Only in Miami, Baby.

Only in Miami.

Let's go.

So they would.

Steal cigars and then sell them

at the shop.

Or they were stealing cigars

from the shop and then selling

them.

They were taking cigars.

Into the shop, banning them as

Cubans and other counterfeit

cigars and then he would sell

them at his shop and other

locations.

Nice.

Wow.

So they seized.

All the bands and stuff.

There was pictures of those.

That's, I mean the.

Police really looked into that.

To be able to feed, he really

pissed somebody off.

Yeah, the, the.

Police report says the packaging

is for brands including Romeo

and Julietta A Chapman,

Trinidad, Monte Cristo, Cohiba,

Cao, Bolivar, El Rey de Mundo,

La Gloria Cubana, Macanudo,

Punch, Particus and Sancho

Panza.

I only like the El Rey A.

Little images taken by the.

Police show that the bands and

boxes are separated, which a

police report says was

consistent with the manufacture

of counterfeit cigar boxes.

That's crazy.
