Two wins, 4 losses, one tie.
Oh.

We're bringing him back the
chip.
What are we doing?
Oh, thank you.
I got it.
Thank you.
Alright, calm down, Calm down.
I.
Gotta tell you, Ben, it was a
lot of work.
Yeah.
But it was, by far.
The best feeling I've had as far
as coaching kids and just seeing
them click right and get it and
to get it at that time.
What was the record of the first
loser?
The first loser.
Yeah, the one that beat 25,
they're.
Not second place.
They're the first loser.
Oh, I could look it up.
No, no.
I just thought you might know
off the top of your head it's
not important.
I was kind of curious about that
to be honest.
Was if I had AI have a real
question?
Do you always have a question
the.
Question is.
Do you have a fake question?
No, the question I have is.
Yeah, I have one question.
What's your one question?
So did you cry?
No.
Oh, come on, man.
Really.
What am I?
They're children.
I was super exciting, dude.
First of all, I don't know if
you know anything about me, but
that's definitely not my
mentality.
The mentality is all right,
cool.
So, so, so the answer was, hey,
congratulations.
I'm proud of every single one of
you guys.
You guys have worked really
hard.
This is a big this is a big
thing for you.
You know, thank you so much for
the honor and the privilege of
letting letting me coach you
this season.
For those of you who are
staying, practice is next
Wednesday and that was how it
ended.
You know that we are going well,
let's go.
We got things to work on.
We're going to keep fine tuning.
You guys didn't wear the
snowboard goggles and spray the
champagne?
No, no.
Rush.
The field?
No.
But I could tell you this.
I know for a fact that I ruined
some parents dinners.
They had fucking plans.
I know they had plans.
They figured they're going to
lose.
They figured we would go out in
the first round or whatever.
Oh, they had, like,
reservations.
Yeah, like you could tell that
they were like, well, we fucking
did it.
Oh God, they're going to.
They're going on to the next
round.
So it was epic, dude.
It was absolutely epic.
Well, congratulations.
Thank you so much.
I'm sure it was a lot of hard
work.
It, dude.
It is.
It is a.
Ton of hard work.
You've been updating this every
week, We understand.
It is a ton of hard work and I
will tell you right now, the
team that we beat in the
Championship were the Jags and
they were 33 and 1123.
Wow, 6.
Crazy they they lost this Sunday
as well.
And they were the they were.
Did they always still lose the
Jags?
And they were the top seed into
in that division.
Oh, nice.
So quick question.
Yep.
His question is, well, I
actually have a question for
Palmer.
Sorry, I wasn't dropping
towards.
You.
Is it not football, Palmer?
Have you ever coached a sports
team?
I have done substitute coaching.
When my boys were little.
I was not the regular coach, but
I have subbed in for different
things.
Yes, it's a it's I I have
coached one team before.
Right.
It was a football little Mighty
Mites football team.
Oh, I guess I did do soccer.
Was it for E or no?
No.
This is when I was in Virginia.
He was two at the time, but I
did.
A big player.
He was two.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
But it it's an accomplishment,
man, when your kids do good, you
know, even though they're not
your kids.
But you had your kids on the
team too, so.
I had Justice was on the team.
Yeah, you get the best of both
worlds.
What was?
Cool.
Was that when they got to?
When they when things finally
clicked, you could see it.
You know, I'm like, hey, no, you
got to do you have to run the
whole thing and you got the
ball's got to go here or the
flag pulling or whatever, right
when you had that conversation
with one individual kid and
they're like, oh.
Oh, I can do that.
I could do that.
And then all of a sudden we're
starting ripping and ball
ripping and ripping balls down
the field looking like fucking
ripping.
It was incredible, you know, and
just determining and dude, I got
a we had one kid, He's great.
He's our best player and he's
the guy we start with.
You know, I'm like, OK, here you
go.
Open it up, open up.
And then when you start hearing
the defense say.
Cover this guy, cover this guy.
And they all start bleeding into
him.
I'm like, yeah, buddy, that is
exactly what I want.
Thank you.
And it just opens up everybody
else and they start moving the
ball down the field and and you
know, at that point the defense
starts to get discouraged.
Yeah, they're all confused.
Like who?
Who do we because, right?
'Cause you, you know, you can't
have.
If you had six ridiculously
strong players on the team, of
course things would get a little
more difficult.
But you know, I'd figure that
out too.
So it was awesome.
Now here, here's what's really
cool.
So I got the defensive coach who
was coaching with me.
He's gone.
He's kids going to do hockey or
whatever.
I'm going to miss him.
He's a good kid.
So my, my was he a vital part?
No, I don't think anybody has a
vital part other than me, to be
honest.
You know, because you're the,
you're the Belgian.
Well, no, it's not that.
It's that.
I don't know, dude.
As crazy as it sounds, I guess
everything, though, here's how
you can do anything successfully
in life, right?
Consistency.
If you consistently show up, if
you consistently put in the
work, if you can, if you do it
over and over and over again and
you break it down and and you
repeat it, you'll be successful,
Right?
Right.
And that's yeah, so, so.
There were plenty of times when
unfortunately, this guy he had,
he couldn't make it for work or
whatever the case may be.
Or there was something else
going on.
And the coach, yeah.
So.
No, the the kid had a job.
Yeah.
So I I was consistently show I
would show up every week.
I would consistently do the same
routine, same practice.
You can continue to develop and
grow and grow and grow and
without that variable it would
have been.
Non existent.
I mean when we weren't pulling
flags, we were doing flag
pulling drills every single week
for 30 minutes every single
week.
And then all of a sudden come
the last, the last showdown
here, it's like boom, they're
pulling flags.
Well, I guess, you know, and a
couple of parents say, well, I
guess all that flag pulling paid
off.
I said yeah, that's AI mean
that's a hard, it's a hard thing
to do.
I don't know if if did you play
flag football when you were
younger?
No.
Did you play It's hard man to
grab those flags when people
start moving and.
Right.
Spinning.
And yeah, that's hard, right?
So them little things wave.
So he's gone.
They move.
So he's gone.
And like I said, I'm gonna miss
him.
I'm gonna miss his kid, 'cause
they're both, they're both
awesome, right?
My eldest son says.
Do you think I can coach with
you?
Oh.
I said, well let me check.
So I text the the, the leader of
the league said.
Hey, can my 10 year old son
coach with me?
Can I put him on the field?
He goes absolutely.
So I I said.
Jax, go.
Hey, you guys, Congratulations.
He'll never leave me.
I want tickets when he becomes a
coach.
You're my defensive coach,
right?
And he goes, OK, I said, can I
teach them new things?
I said, well yeah, we we'll work
on a game plan.
But just remember, it's my team.
I'm the boss.
So if I tell you to move
somebody around or switch
something around, I mean, you
can argue with me, but you still
got to comply, well, you're like
Kyle Shanahan and he's Mike
McDaniels.
Exactly.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly, exactly like
that.
That's exactly who I am.
Exactly so.
Kyle and Shanahanahan.
He had a basketball at Douglas
Jack's, had a basketball game
this Sunday and I'm I'm coaching
that quick.
Transition here for football to
basketball.
Yeah, yeah, he he was.
He started last week.
Excuse me so.
There's no downtime between
seasons.
There's no downtime in life,
bro.
I'm tired.
I'm very tired.
Do you guys have middle school
sports?
Yeah.
So that's what it well, that's
what we it's it's all LinkedIn.
OK, so this basketball is linked
into it.
OK, so this is through the
school.
And I have another.
I have a.
A coach that coaches it with me,
he's the head coach.
And I don't know.
I don't know shit about
basketball.
And like, I know I understand
principles and you know basic
things, but I don't know, I
don't know basketball.
So he's running it and but we've
practiced with these kids for
three or four weeks already,
right?
And we played that.
What should be the hardest team?
This season, on Sunday, we put
on a fucking clinic, bro.
It was ridiculous.
These guys whoop their ass.
As coaches, we are just, we're
rotating kids in and out.
We're patient, we're calm, we're
collective.
We're we're talking about the
mistakes they're making.
The other coaches are screaming,
they're cover a little guy
around, like, just losing.
Guy.
Over losing their minds.
And that was also a great
feeling, man.
It was a it was a hell of a
weekend for me, dude.
I've I felt, I felt very
accomplished.
Good for you.
Yeah, Nice.
Yeah.
It's good stuff.
And my Christmas decorations are
up outside.
Fuck you, John.
John Yogurlite hates.
Oh, did he say he was too early?
He hates it.
Yeah.
It drives him nuts.
My wife put a bottle of trees
this weekend.
Yeah, like 6.
Did you dress the skeleton?
No, the skeleton's ankles broke,
so we're looking for ankles
broke, yeah.
So they refunded.
No.
So we're we, we refunded then we
took it back because we don't,
because I don't want to give it
up.
Oh, so they gave you the money
and the broken guy?
No, no, no.
They cancelled the refund.
Oh.
Britney reached out to the
company, which is actually Home
Depot.
They don't want the new.
Ones to send us a replacement.
Parts for what snapped.
Oh, so we'll see what happens.
Did they answer nice?
Who's gonna fix it?
It's just a piece.
Like everything is metal pieces.
So if they just send you a brand
new piece, it's no big deal.
Right now he's disassembled in a
box, no.
Disassembled.
Yeah, he's, this is Stephanie.
Yeah. #5 alive #5 alive.
All right.
I did not see a Christmas tree,
by the way.
What?
There was not one on the shelf.
No, no.
But the display was up.
Yeah.
They you didn't ask him before
the display.
I was you.
They I didn't go that far.
I was trying to make it here.
Were you looking for a the
skeleton guy, whatever his name
is?
No.
He's looking for a certain
centerpiece for his decorations.
Oh.
For the outside decorations.
Decorations.
What?
What'd you do?
I took the last deck apart
because we're getting a new
fence in December.
The owner's coming to do it
himself, supposedly now.
Oh, but get to meet him.
Well, I've met him before.
He's been there one other time
in the nine years we've lived
there.
Nice.
But supposedly he's coming to do
that and put a new air
conditioner.
Oh, right, the day after
Christmas.
We've only been asking for two
years.
Yeah, only asked for two years
for both, and now he's showing
up.
Well, better late than never.
So the last deck I took apart in
the yard Saturday 'cause it was
connected to the fence.
Oh, OK.
Yeah, and apparently I put it
together way too well 'cause it
was a pain in the ass take
apart.
I ended up just cutting it in
pieces made in the USA.
Right.
Yeah, I'll just sweep that up
later.
It's fine.
Don't worry.
Don't worry, I'll sweep that.
Oh, it's all over this box.
Oh, you want to do the box now?
And my drink?
Oh well, I better wake your
drink.
Did you get it in the straw?
Some of it had to go in the
straw, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
Just be a little gritty.
Yeah, we got a box.
Oh.
So say who it's from.
It says in the box.
It says DTT.
It's from Dunbart and Tobacco
and Trust.
It is our sample kit to discuss
their cigars on the show.
On this show, Yes.
Oh nice.
Yes.
Oh, there's some information
here.
Information about every cigar.
Oh my God, is that a Yamaha?
Oh, this is some lovely hats.
I fucking hate this guy.
Those are nice.
Oh, apparently there's two.
There's two.
Hats.
I got two hats.
I asked.
I got to tell you I asked for
three.
I'm going to comment.
And there's a red V lover set
here.
We can two each.
Good Krakatoas, we haven't done
the Krakatoas.
No, we can do that on this,
Patreon.
OK, there's only two.
Well, there's two sample packs,
so there's two and there's two.
So I'll, we'll give you, I'll
give you one of mine.
I'll sell you mine.
Half price, half price.
I'll give you a good deal.
Such a deal for you.
I'm going to troll Lafferty, no.
That's not from Lafferty.
He's.
Part of it.
There was a lovely young lady
who reached out from their
company.
I don't remember her name.
April.
April seems to sound Danielle
Lafferty.
So thank, thank you, Dunbarton.
Thank you Dunbarton, Tobago and
dressed.
I heard the down to herf guy.
He's got a set 2 for them.
For the two sets.
That's nice.
I bet you they fucking send them
through.
Maybe he listens.
He knows a joke, yeah.
Yeah, he's his in on it.
So either when you guys listen
to the Coop show this week, No.
You know why?
Why I don't listen to this show?
Oh, I calm down.
Come.
Come down.
I'm sorry.
You have to.
You have.
To start with, I love that guy.
Then you can say anything bad
you want.
That's the way he.
Works.
Oh, is that how?
Far we're just he kept saying he
loved us.
But then he said bad.
Oh, he talks some smack.
He talks some smack.
Why do you.
Let's hear it.
So first, he said we were afraid
to confront him about the press
release at the Lazona event.
'Cause we were right there with
him all day.
No, he said.
A word to him.
I'm just telling you.
What?
He said.
Wait, wait, yeah, so so we're
referencing.
We sent out a press release, but
he says we.
Yes, And then he didn't
acknowledge.
It he didn't acknowledge it and
we commented on the not the last
show.
I think the show before how the
only person that picked it up
was the cigar inspector.
Yeah, the number, the best guy,
the number one cigar me place on
cigar inspector of course.
So he said they should have they
should have said something they
had a problem.
They should have said something
there all day long.
I don't think did you?
Do we really have a problem with
not?
A problem not, not where I would
have brought it up.
Why are we going to confront him
at the Lozona Palooza thing?
And so.
Like, so we were.
So we were angry to a point
where we were going to call him.
I mean, what the fuck was he?
We.
We.
Discussed calling him on the
show, but we decided he's a busy
man.
He has a day job.
We're not for shits and giggles.
Yeah, we decided.
I mean, I'm not going to call
him privately.
What kind of fun is that?
I.
Guess, yeah, I don't know.
I'm not going to have.
Like what's the what's the
conversation?
I I could tell you exactly what
the conversation is.
He chose not to do it because he
feels that that's not media,
blah blah, blah blah blah.
Yeah, it was.
It wasn't a high enough
position, he said.
He said social media is a
college intern job.
Oh, what?
How many positions does he know
of here?
It's a college.
Well, he's just talking about
in.
He's referencing life in
general, business practices.
What's his position?
I.
Don't know.
I don't know really who he
worked for.
I.
Don't know.
I don't know what's going on
over here with your level of
anger.
You're my friend.
Listen, listen to me.
You need to fucking.
You need to just tone it down a
notch, OK?
Just relax.
And there's only fucking two
hats it's going to be.
It's going to be fine.
Maybe we should have.
Done this before the hat thing.
Maybe we should have done it
before the hat thing, maybe.
You know, he's lit about the hat
and just bleeding into this.
You know what?
I wish people would send just
the two hats, but have a
separate box.
All right, Open A.
Cabinet over there behind you.
Oh, there's a fucking another
hat.
Yeah, that cabinet there, there
you.
Go, oh look, oh, go to.
Go to your camera.
See the camera.
Oh God, oh God.
Thanks, David.
There you go.
All right, switch back.
You're getting back quickly.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Yeah, we were just fucking with
you, bro.
Get that off the table.
It's bad luck.
It's not our table.
It's our cigar.
Get it?
OK.
Well, I don't want to know.
I can't put.
It there, so, OK, thank you.
So he thought.
That we were supposed.
So we were like, hey.
Hey, hey, you didn't talk about
the.
Promotion.
We're mad.
About that, it's and your job is
the equivalent of college.
Doesn't college interns handle
on that?
Well, now, Bear was very nice.
Bear did the show with him.
Yeah, and oh wait, I love Coop
to death.
It's the three and a half hour
show about local elections.
Nice.
Hey, you know who made?
Judge or who made mayor of some
dinky ass city and some
whatever.
Hey, whatever works for him.
That's that's his thing.
I thought we were cigar.
Media.
No, we don't cover what's going
on in the cigar industry.
Remember, we don't cover when
social media happens in
business.
You know he draws the line.
At marketing, OK.
Marketing Manager.
And up he would or marketing
director and up he would have.
That's where the.
Line is at.
That's his line.
We go to, we go to all these
events and everything, but we
don't cover.
So no, but you know.
OK, so listen, listen.
Yes, everybody is allowed to do
whatever they want, right?
That's true.
And it is kind of.
And it is funny.
We just simply said that it's
funny, right?
That, that that wouldn't be
covered, but if it was brought
up.
On a bigger company, I think it
would be brought up.
I would it would have been
covered.
Who would have to?
Who would it have to be to bring
it up?
We've said that before.
It's, you know, your big.
It doesn't.
Matter small or big company, if
it's marketing or less.
He doesn't.
He doesn't.
I don't believe that for a
second.
I bet you we could.
You know, if I really gave a
shit.
But the reality is I don't have
the fucking time or the energy
to fucking exert towards it.
But if I look through all of it,
I bet you we could find where
someone was admitted as the
head.
Marketing, social media,
whatever the fuck you know that
looking.
Bradley Guy.
He did a good thing on that for
the company.
Yeah, but what other two?
Oh yeah, one guy.
'S in charge of like parties or
something, you know?
You know.
What is, though?
Kind of funny is that Coop is
always adamant about receiving
information at the same time as
everybody else because he wants
to get his press releases up as
fast as possible.
And I understand that that makes
sense because you want to make
sure that as far as search
engine optimizations are
concerned, algorithms and all of
those other things.
So I always thought that maybe
it's in the best interest to
report something that you think
would be in the best interest
for the industry, right?
Sure.
So if somebody gave me that
information and level playing
field across the board and only
one person reports it, I mean,
shit, if I was the second person
to report it out of 30-40 guys,
maybe that would have helped me
on search engine optimization.
Maybe.
But then again, that's probably
why a guy of his caliber is
complaining about the other
companies and the fucking access
to the emails and saying that it
doesn't observe what it is.
Could be where he could have
probably just got a leg up on
things right now.
I mean, Coop, I have no issue
with you.
I'm not fucking.
I'm not angry with you at all.
If you hadn't talked about.
It we wouldn't even ringing it.
I yeah, I wouldn't even fucking,
you know.
Oh we would have moved on.
But it's fun to talk about it
is, and I will tell you this,
another one now that says I'm.
Director of Marketing.
And you know what I am gonna
fucking do?
And since we do run a social
media fucking presence, since we
do have a retail store, since we
do have a wholesale operation
and we do have a fucking
podcast, yes.
What I'm thinking is I'm gonna
give cigar Inspector the leg up
on all of them.
Oh, they get it first.
They get everything first.
Yeah.
Why wouldn't I?
Because he respected every type
of press release that we've done
so far, right?
So when it comes to releasing

Welcome to Cigar Hustlers
podcast feature Phil's Fun Fact.
Hello peoples.
All right fellas.
In the 17th century there was a
trend called tobacco smoke and
Nemas enemas enemas enemas.
Oh, oh, that's like boofing,
yeah.
But with smoke, yeah, yeah,
physicians.
Believe that blowing smoke from
a cigar into a patient's rectum
could.
Resuscitate them from drowning?
How was I to know I've always
been safe from drowning?
That was the end of it, yeah.
Which implies he's always had
smoke blowing up his butt.
You imagine, though, some guy
sitting there drowning and the
doctor goes, hold on, I got
this.
OK, open your butt hole right?
Well, the guy's dead.
He's not responding.
Boofing boofing's When you put
liquor up somebody, that's butt
chugging.
Boofing sounds like something
from Matt Booth.
Well, maybe he.
Does it?
I I wouldn't.
Put it well if I'm wrong, I
appreciate you correcting me and
I don't know how you have that
information well back.
In the day when I was in the
other career, it means that was

Millennial millennials, or
whatever.
Whatever that one is, they
created it.
Oh, butt chugging.
Yeah, movie.
They say that the alcohol hits
the bloodstream quicker through
the rectum and that's why they
did it so the first time you did
it.
I'm not answering.
Were you on an air?
Were you on like a boat?
Were you in the Navy?
Like, no, He's one of the.
Only guys in the Navy that never
went on a ship.
You were never on a boat, never
on a.
Boat so you butt chugged on
land.
I've never butt chugged that way
was.
He 'cause you're in the boat,
you know you're moving, yeah.
The way you're supposed to play
on one is you're supposed to go,
Does your mother know you're

preference.

Questions.

What's the question?
He doesn't have a question.
He doesn't have a question.
The cigar is.
Delicious.
From the four corners of the
world, all the cigar industry
news you could possibly need.
The Cigar Hustler podcast Report
with Mike too.
Civil Pleasures debuts in New
York City.
A quartet of friends who met in
New York City over cigars have
launched their own brand.
It's just that easy.
It's called Civil Pleasures and
the brand is debuting with CP1A5
by 50 Box Press Robusto that
uses a Criolo seed grown seed
wrapper grown in Halapa,
Nicaragua over in Dominican
Binder and five year old filler
tobacco's from Nicaragua's
Condega, Estelli and Halapa
regions.
Are there only the three
regions?
Everybody seems to have stuff
from those 3 and Estelli.
Yeah, I put it in the web.
Oh, nobody ever says.
That one though.
It's kind of harder to get.
It tastes a lot like Come Dagan.
Civil Pleasures is partnered
with Hoya de Nicaragua to
produce the CP1, which has a
MSRP of $30.30.
Dollars.
Quite the.
Opening foray there we're gonna
start.
Is it the Cinco de Cinco or the
CP1?
It's the CP.
One Cinco de Cinco is their
cigar.
It's Holy de Nicaragua.
Cigar Is it Cinco de Cinco or
Cinco Cinco Cinco Cinco no,
Cinco de?
Cinco.
We did the story last week.
Did we?
Yeah, I don't listen to when
you're talking.
I know, I know that Tabacology.
Bought a lot of them because he
put up a picture of him in front
of many a boxes. 75,000 If you
want that cigar, go to
Tabacology.
The four friends are Sean
Dorsey, Sharif Kajael, Cody Min
and Jesse Roth.
None of them have.
Backgrounds in the cigar
business, though.
They felt so strongly about
cigars and the community that
can't be built around cigars,
they decided to launch their own
brand.
Nice Congratulations.
Why don't we do that?
We called it Postanya.
Oh.
Got it.
But it's just.
Two brothers, not four friends.
Well, they're on their.
Way and we and we didn't charge
$30 a cigar, no.
No.
Could you?
Your first cigar is 30 bucks.
Well, you know, you know.
Go big or go home.
You know, I don't know what to
tell you, man.
Roll the dice, you.
Throw a $30.00.
I can't just look at a scenario
and say, well, what the fuck,
because I don't know what they
paid.
What's the most?
Expensive.
Joya.
Hoya.
Hoya.
Hoya.
Sorry.
I don't know.
Who knows?
But that doesn't mean anything.
They're they don't know their
own factory.
So I don't know what they.
I don't know what they paid.
I was a lot.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
You know who?
How do you know?
You don't fucking know.
And you know the the downfall to
that is I will tell you it will
turn a lot of retailers away.
I know retailers that look at
brands that are brand new and
they say how much.
Fuck that.
You're out of your mind.
My Pedron's.
Less you know.
Good It's only available in New
York and New Jersey.
Could it be the taxes?
Or why it's all way up to 30
dollars.
It doesn't.
I don't know, maybe it's like a
$10.
A guy with $20 in tax, 70%, I
think it is the tax.
Is it 70?
I don't, you know, like again,
same scenario.
I have no fucking idea.
So I'm not about to sit here and
say, whoa fucking wait, so.
Congratulations.
The downfall is the downfall is
if they do try and expand to
other retailers across the
nation, I can tell you that a
lot of retailers will be against
taking on that price point from
a brand that they know nothing
about.
Right.
It's which is extremely
difficult.
You're going to put that up
against everything else in the
store that's under $30 and the
majority of those things that
are on the shelf are already
established.
So you have to create that
demand yourself and you have to
have a consumer say, yes, I want
that cigar, yes, it's $30, yes,
I'll buy it from that retailer.
So then they.
Shouldn't sell to retailers,
they should just sell direct to
consumer then if they want.
I don't know how far that gets
them.
They've been at it since 2018
when they started the project.
This is the.
First time ever?
Well, it's 5.
Years.
I took them five years to put it
together and get it right, I
guess.
Is that normal?
Time.
Not to mention you hit 2020
where shit hit the fan, right?
That's you couldn't go a couple
of dead years there.
Yeah, what's the?
Normal time frame Like when you
created Postanya, How long did
it take you to create the first
one?
It took me one day to make the
first cigar.
But I mean like.
And OK, you had to write the
recipe, then you had to go visit
and then you had to write it
before it.
Came to the shop is where he was
trying to get out.
How much time between when you
thought you and Greg went, hey,
let's make a cigar to Hey, we
have the cigar, right?
Maybe 8 months to a year, OK.
So, but yeah, but you take two
years off of them right away
because of COVID, 3 years.
You got to remember that the
relationship was already
established with me.
You know, I was already
promoting and and building Roma
craft in the store, right,
David?
Just started talking to La Hoya
in 2018.
Hey, we're the four people that
want to make a cigar.
Nice to meet you, right?
And that was, we've never smoked
here and that was right place,
right time, you know, I said,
hey, I want to make a cigar with
you.
And Skip said, OK, well, here's
tobacco, go learn.
And he started.
He started explaining things to
me.
I made a cigar.
It tasted like shit.
Well, it didn't taste like shit.
It just tasted like nothing.
It tasted the like the same
thing, just basic.
No, it was just tasted like
Habano.
It didn't have any.
There's no dimension to it.
And then he said, OK, here's
where you fucked up.
And then I moved some stuff
around and tweaked it and I
said, OK, this is really good.
And then boom, cigar.
Then they made a.
Baby, it's a lot easier when you
work with a company that has
good tobacco, this dude.
Has become the Jedi.
It's more like Sith Lord.
They hired some fancy
photographer to shoot their
first brand campaign.
Oh, Steve I.
Haven't heard it now?
Goji Esperazza Esperazza Goji.
Goji.
GOGY Goji, I feel like you.
Said that name before.
I think it is part of something
else that we were doing before
too.
Different guy though.
How about boobie?
How about?
Boobie, right?
Let's see.
He's photographed New Yorkers in
the hospitality, art and fashion
world, including, I don't know,
I don't know these people.
Anybody know scars?
Pizza.
No the the.
Photographer does all the work
for Scars Pizza.
Oh, that's good cigars.
Pizza.
Yes.
No.
Scar SCARR.
You know the line with the.
Original, yeah.
Move, move fast as maybe it's a
big deal in New York, it must be
in new.
York City Smoke in launches the
Hanukkah Holiday Box.
Oh, Hanukkah 2 years ago.
South Florida based retailers
Smokin introduced an advent
calendar full of cigars from
various manufacturers.
This year.
Smokin Advent Calendar is back,
now joined by a sampler that has
been created for Hanukkah.
It's called the Hanukkah Box I
haven't seen.

noticed.
It's the star shaped box that
everybody's been holding up
lately.

regular Christmas one.

this cigar so you can keep track
of the days.

you are around there retailer.
Oh, let's see it.
Features a high quality
cardboard packaging.
In this case, each of the 9
cigars is packaged in boxes and
shaped like triangles or
pentagons that are made to mimic
the candles of the menorah.
When placed inside the larger
box, individual boxes form.
The Star of David Smokin has
listed the Hanukkah box for
$159.
There are 500 boxes made for
2023.

Yeah, yeah, she showed.
Up she showed up because they're
doing the part where they're

And then he threw his glass.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Senator was good.
There's some quotes in there

college intern.
A college intern.
Right.
There's multi $1,000,000 drug
company and then you start to
suppress.
You can create some kind of a

Like a hybrid.
Seed.
No, no.
Before that, you create a
demand.
Oh yeah, there's you.
Buy all the lemon.
You control the market.
You buy all the lemon.
You create the demand, then you
make a lemon.
Shaped like a boob, I think you
said at one point.
So the tit.
This has got more of a tit,
you're more a dead like.
Tut right and then you start.
Everything is lemon, Lemon.
Right, Lemon.
OK, so anyways, yeah, but at the
end, there's a really good one
too.
Oh really?
I thought.
The lemons?
No, the last episode.
Oh, I'm not doubting that.
Yet there's an Yeah, there's a
good, good breakdown.
Is that a big cigar?
Is it?
Would have looked funny
upstairs.
You think he would learn?
Senator was released as a
commemorate the 100th
anniversary of the discovery of
King Tutankhamun's tomb in
November of 1922.
You know what's funny is how
angry he was until he realized
that he got the cigars, he was
pissed, and he and Coop was the
target, right?
He were taking.
He was gonna take it off.
He was.
Listen.
I'm keeping my mouth shut by the
situation.
Yeah, OK, good.
That's fine.
Keep your mouth shut.
The reality is that he was
fucking angry because he didn't
get his six cigars in his hat.
That's not why I was.
That's totally why he was angry.
The hat's still on the.
Counter, by the way.
Yeah, the hat does not go bad.
Luck.
Bad.
Luck.
Bad luck Bad luck.
I.
I listen.
I care about my friends.
I know, I know.
What do you have to do with?
The hat so, so you.
That's not it.

learn how to address the
situation without getting
emotionally charged?
No.
I.
Was emotionally you should learn
how to handle yourself, 'cause
he's not going to get.
Emotional that makes you like a
fuck.
Why do I?
Care if he makes something, it's
a big deal or not.
You're like a 10 year old at
that point.
If you can't control yourself,

way sometimes, but we all get
lost in our ways.
Nobody's perfect.

I would look, as much as this
guy gives me crap, the stuff
that he does is good.
He works his ass.
Off Yeah.

The reality is?
Who fucking cares?
I don't give a shit because I'm
not doing it for them.
I ain't doing it for them, and
he ain't doing it for them
either.
He's doing it for him and us,
right?
And we appreciate everything he
does.
What mostly?
For you guys, yeah.
Well, you know what, dude?
But those are the type of people
I want to be around.
The guys that are unselfish,
that put their friends first,
right?
And I, I could tell you right
now, everybody in this room

them, right?
Yes, OK.

that are open late, so when they
went out to get it, they saw the
bear walking away with the bag.

They didn't bring the drinks in
until later.
