Transcript
Some people swing golf clubs, some people swing for the fences, but Palmer and Siggy? Palmer and Siggy? They just swing wherever the wind is blowing. There you go, get the pineapples.
Take it! I don't like you. I like you. Thank you for the cigar, Palmer.
Welcome to a... Right, I gave you a cigar. Welcome to a Cigar Oster Podcast, premium cigars, unfiltered opinions, and conversations that can go anywhere. Anywhere.
P. Palmer, and joining me today, as my co-host, back in his rightful chair on my left... Oh, thank God. the King Michael Stefankiewicz.
Hello. It is I. I have returned. You're back in your seat.
And over in the engineering booth, debuting the new November mask. Ooh. Turkey? Oh, it's nice.
Native American? What am I? Indigenous person. Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry.
And soon to be released music album Sweet and Sour Chicken all day, Mr. Tim McGuffey. Wow. I'm going to tell her to that one, too.
He played the show for her the other day. I was like, hey, they covered Cappy Bar on the podcast. She's like, oh, let's watch it. Big mistake.
Big mistake. Big mistake, buddy. Big mistake. Yeah.
All right, light one up, settle in, and welcome to Cigar Hustler Podcast. Dun, dun, dun. On today's show, more cyber attacks. Dwayne Wade gets a makeover.
Dwayne Wade? Dwayne Wade. Really? Yes.
And a Florida story where man bites dog. Okay. Tatuaje keeps cranking out them Halloween cigars, more cigars in a jar, and Dunbarton is just making words up now. And then we end the show with a- What do you mean now?
They've been making up words? I was going to say. Well, he's crossed the line this time. Then we end the show with a what's the score, but first, Michael, what's going on over there in that lounge?
Great question. Did we announce the winner of the mask? The old mask? We did not.
I didn't grab it. But it's not on there anymore. No, no, you're fine, for theatrics, no? Well, it's just under-ended.
The winner of the mask was Charles. Oh, there you go. At 126. Congratulations, Charles.
Come pick it up anytime you want. Or 127. 120. Yeah, at 128.
And it's at 300 now. 300. Oh, he sniped right at the last minute. " Dang.
That's cold. Yeah. But in the meantime, like and subscribe for review and listen to the show. com, a cigar hustlers podcast where we do cigar reviews, talk inside baseball, and have some giveaways.
What are we going to start this one at? I don't know, I have to look what we paid. Four dollars. That's pretty, I was going to say.
Per feather. Per feather. Just be happy that it's not engulfing your face. Yeah.
He already complained about it. Of course. I mean, I don't blame him for complaining about it. That makes sense to me.
Oh, my kids fundraiser. Any updates? Oh, we got another update. You can almost buy the school at this point.
Let me see if I can see the most recent donor. Miguel Rocha. I acknowledged yesterday. Yeah, yesterday.
Anonymous. Matthew Brugger, Travis Peterson, Charles Goff. I don't know if my guy, Jason Walpert. Oh, the race car driver.
Yep. David Hasselhoffman. He should live in Florida by now. He's got to be, he's got to be getting there, right?
Yeah. And there was another anonymous. November. It was November, he told me.
Yeah. But he was going to come by the shop last Sunday. I want to know if we were going to be here on Sunday. And I'm like, no, that's not likely.
Not likely on a Sunday. But in the meantime, so they're close to, they're, just keep doing what you're doing, guys. First of all, I'm very grateful for you guys to enter and contribute to them. It's very humbling.
I can't be, I don't know, very grateful for you guys. Really appreciate you. And you guys are all going to be entered to win something. We're going to do a raffle when it's done.
So we've got three cool things to give away. Thanks. Did Rich Uncle Greg do anything for it? Rich Uncle Greg does not.
He does not. He's got the Lamborghini, the Rolls Royce in Iceland. Hey, he bought Iceland and moved it closer to Poland. He went to Somalia?
It's crazy. He gets agitated because the organization we contribute heavily during the auction time. Like we buy a table, we bid for things, stuff like that. And then he gets...
That's his limit. That's where he starts to get... But that's corporate money, though. Yeah.
Yeah, that's not his personal involvement. He starts to lose it at that point. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see, some comments from the CHPod Lounge.
Lounge, lounge, lounge. It says Mikey's Kids Fundraiser on it, too. Because that's in every show description because there's a link. Ah, got it.
Jared Harper says, from the CHPod Lounge, says, Lancero for the win. Congrats on the 90 for SBC26. You sounded disappointed, but it's a pretty up there rating. And welcome back to the Superstar.
Yeah, I mean, I am a little disappointed. Why? Because it's not a 91. Oh.
If it was a 91, you'd be disappointed because it's not a 92? Or because 91 is the line to go Cigar of the Year? 91 is their line to be in the conversation. Ah, gotcha, gotcha.
Then I'm a little disappointed. Yeah. I didn't get to that part yet. Was it Charlie that reviewed it?
Patrick. Was it Patrick? I was going to say, for Charlie, that's like a, that's like a hundred. Brooks, it would have been a 91.
You know what I'm saying? I'm going to tell you, can we choose who does our reviews? No, no, that's not how it works. That's not how it works.
I mean, I'm grateful that they reviewed it. Let's just claim it's a 91, and then when it's not in the discussion at the end of the year, we'll go, "What the hell? " Snubbed. No, then they'll show you.
It was snubbed. That was a typo, you didn't see my, the one I saw. Oh, there's no YouTube comments here. God.
I just can't get this to work. It's so frustrating. Just go read them both. I will, but it's just agitating.
If that is your biggest problem with all this stuff that you have operating now... There's no YouTube comments. It's a pretty... Oh, you already know?
Oh. It's a pretty minor inconvenience. There's no YouTube comments in the lounge? No, there's no YouTube comments on YouTube, I just checked.
Oh, that's why. Yeah. They might have been, yeah, I think they were on yesterday's. The new ones that I saw this morning.
Okay, well then, that makes sense. So it is working. Well, we really don't know. I mean, I have other bigger problems.
That's what I'm saying. This is not my biggest problem. Right, exactly, I mean, we had no emails for 24 hours. Well, Greg still doesn't have his.
Oh, really? Yeah. It was really cool, actually. So, when I was using HostGator for our site, I had to do like a static thing, and I was spending like three, four G's a year.
Right. For the retail site, and it went to go renew, I was like, hey, we don't need that anymore, right? And it's like, yeah. I'm like, okay, so let's cancel that.
I said, okay, you want me to contact support for you? And I was like, yeah. So it contacted support. The robot asked you.
Yeah, the robot handled it. Right. Yeah, that was fun to watch. Yeah, Claude refunded us while I was doing the meeting.
Right. It was incredible. Was it like, hey, this is Mike, or was it, hey, this is Claude on behalf of Mike? half of mic no it said um it said my name oh did it say your name yeah yeah act as if you're me and it just went in and actually just yelling at them yeah sorry it started uh power bombing chat gbt at that point yeah yeah it was incredible at lance at lance from the ch pod lounge says great cigar and great show good times best way to start the day appreciate you brother thank you Michael Zeckebeck says, "I love when all three of you are together.
" It's true. It is true. It's true, but we can't have it consistently for five days. Why not?
I think that he'll fade. Oh, he'll fade? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. He was very excited to be on yesterday. Yeah.
And today he made an excuse to bow up. He was done. Yeah. Yeah.
I saw he literally texted you the same minute you asked who's going to be on today. Yeah. I'll do it. Right.
" Yeah. Me, me, me, me. It was in a great mood, man. It was nice.
It was. T-Money from the CH Pod Lounge, the real T-Money, the only T-Money. There's only one T-Money and this is the T-Money. I totally understand that a smaller nightcap cigar wouldn't sell as fast, but I'd gladly throw some coin to get it.
And there's a Polish word. That's T-Money in Polish, is what it says. Oh, I didn't know that it... I thought it was piñenza.
I guess that it was. That's how it's spelled. I don't know. Yeah.
I have problems with English. T-Pinyenza. T-Pinyenza. T-Pinyenza.
Yeah. Dalton Wilson Holmey says, "I just want to make enough money to show off to all my children's friends' parents. " There you go. Atta boy.
Like, sounds good to me. Uh, Mike Palmer. Oh, look at that. Who's that?
Somewhere between the last puff and the next bad decision, the universe adjusted its draw. Stay Dangerous Lounge? I'm just talking to the guys on the left. What is going on?
I just like to contribute and act like I'm part of the group. Take some shrooms or something right before you did that? Yeah, it was a micro-dose? I'm just being one of the guys.
You being one of the guys, huh? Just being one of the guys. Okay. That's cool.
I started working on some cool things onto the site. I had a couple updates. I thought I saw one from your mother. Was that on yesterday's show, I guess?
Yeah, we talked about it yesterday. No, I thought there was another one. Or did you say she wanted a Lancero, too, yesterday? Yeah, it was.
Oh, okay. They showed up as new this morning on my YouTube page. That's from one day ago. I'm just double-checking the YouTube.
Do we know if Keanu made one? He's usually getting one. Oh, I don't think he made one today. No, Keanu skipped it.
He's busy. He's building my table. Yeah, that's what he's doing. So, I made a couple of cool updates are on the site right now.
I'm building like an address book so that you can have different addresses on the back end. On the CHPod site? No, that's why I haven't said the other site. See how I didn't say the name?
Well, you didn't say the name of anyone. You had four of them going. Yeah. So I didn't know which one it was.
Okay, but there's one that I specifically won't say. I don't think you'll say any of them. I will say the CHPOD one. Oh, okay.
Out of the four? And I'm working on another cool build. I like being over there when Greg's here. I feel like...
More in control. No, you don't anger me as much. I feel like he… You feel shielded by the table and everything? I feel like he… Greg angers you more?
No. Oh. No, I feel like he contains you. Greg does?
Yeah. Oh, I don't know. Hmm. Yeah.
So interesting. Hmm. Yeah. Do you want to name drop it, Palmer?
I don't know what he's talking about. Yeah, do you want to spell it out for everybody? Yes. No, I have no idea what you're talking about.
You have no idea what site I'm talking about? No, I do now. Well, no, technically, no, I don't, unless it's because you're not talking about one. I don't understand.
The comment you said could be going on the one I use, could be going on the one Steve uses. Really? Or it could be going on the other one that you will say the name of, but you didn't say the name. Okay, so when you were upstairs earlier, and I talked to you about the cool thing that I was building, do you know what's that I was referencing?
I don't remember you telling me that we do an email upstairs. Yeah, before that. Don't recall. Wow.
It's setting in, guys. Were you talking to Steve? Because maybe I wasn't listening. No.
You were in the conversation. All right. No idea. And we were talking about badges.
Oh, that was you and Greg. You weren't here, right? We're talking about it. I wasn't really listening.
I did hear the badges and something about a video game, but I wasn't really paying attention. There's no video game. No, he referenced, he wants metal ones like Call of Duty, he said. Yeah.
Something like that. I feel like now we're giving a lot away. So there's not really metal ones, but just the way a metal instead of a badge or something was what the discussion was. Yeah.
So I'm really excited about this and I'm going to try and push to launch it today. And I'm going to tell you right now, when I launch it, I'm going to blow up the site. The site is not going to work. There's just no way that it's just going to be in tune.
So, but anyways, I'm looking forward to it. I think it's going to be really bad-ass. Today, today, or like when this airs today? When this airs.
Okay. It should be up. Sweet. Okay.
That's all the comments I got. So, did I say like and subscribe wherever you're going to listen to the show? I don't think so. Usually start with that.
I don't remember who did. Yeah, he kind of threw me through a wrench there when he said something about what happened with the auction. What's the name of the website? What's the name of the website?
Why am I here? Who are you? I don't know what's going on. I don't know what we're doing.
What day is it? Obviously. Nope. Obviously, you didn't red light.
Well, should we just get the red light one day and just put it right behind him during the podcast? We did that one episode when I got the new red light. Yeah. Oh, really?
Yeah. Did it mess with the cameras at all? You can only do it for 10 minutes. Well, it recommends 10 minutes.
You had it on one day for four hours, Palmer. No, it only has a 60-minute timer. I came down two hours later. It was still on.
I was like, how long have you been doing that? You're like, I don't know. I've been working. Oh, well, I used to set it up behind me, and I couldn't even see it.
Yeah. So, it could have been on all day. You're like, I'm getting a little bit of a headache, I don't know why. It's so weird.
Back of my head's burning. Okay, well, hey, let's get on with the show. All right. Stores across several European countries reported apparent cyber attacks.
Oh. They're after the freezers again. No. More freezers?
More freezers. Monday, November 2nd, they tampered with refrigeration systems and forced stores to remove or discard food. Some systems reportedly were set at 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Wow.
I don't understand how that works. I don't know why we have Wi-Fi freezers. That's a good point, too. Yeah, especially in a supermarket.
It just doesn't make sense to me, you know? Well, I mean, unless they need to somehow monitor the temperature of it when they're not there. Yeah. And then, I mean, I could understand that, but like, why have to...
I don't know. Okay, listen, we've gone a hundred years without smart refrigerators in supermarkets. What? Why is he cutting in and out?
You hear him cutting in and out? Am I? Yeah. I think he pulled away from the microphone.
No, no, I'm literally, I'm right on it. He was on it. Yeah, but you might have been, because I can't see him. I'm not going to look that way, because then he screws up my microphone.
Yeah. I like that you're kind of stuck right now. It looks like you're kind of like glued into the chair. Well, I'm trying to face you with the microphone, so it's less of this, where you can't hear me.
Right. So I'm trying to look at him there, but it looked like his head was moving, though, out of the corner of my eye. Yeah, it was. Yeah.
Yeah. Sorry. As for why it got that hot, it has a defrost feature for when you need to get the icicles off, I guess, right? For some freezers?
I guess? I don't know. It's the only thing I can think of. But it was in...
But 120 degrees is pretty insane. Where was it? Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, and Estonia. So they're hitting all these places.
They're hitting everybody who's got a Wi-Fi freezer. Is it like a Reddit that released how to do it? And that's why they're all like, hey, let's go do this. It's some hacking group.
Yeah. Yeah. Cyber terrorists. We are the freezer terrorists.
Right. Are they sitting around and they go, hey, we can get on these freezers here in Luxembourg. You're not going to believe this. I'm not going to believe this.
And then also I was coding for seven hours straight. We melted the ice cream. We're going to heat up the eggs. So, but it caused food to spoil, which caused empty shelves and lost inventory.
Although investigators haven't established whether the incidents are connected. Well, it's a third country, though, you think. Was it the freezer bandits? The freezer bandits.
The freezer bandits. Yeah, like the water, what was the one from? That's one of the, like, I don't understand. Oh, the sticky bandits?
Yeah, there you go. That's one of the worst, like one of the worst things to do. Why would you screw with people's food? Well, it depends on who the bad guys are.
If we have no food, then we become a weaker country. Are they like a farmer or something? It's like mom and pop. Now you have to buy the cow from me.
me. I don't really think farmers have the technology to, you know, also Maybe it's like a Dr. Evil farmer. Internationally shut off.
Maybe he's got like hydroponic food. Oh, maybe. Yeah, that's attached to all of it. They must now buy food from me.
You must now buy it. How much is that piece of corn? $7,000. That could be.
You know? Trying to create a demand for his own food. Yeah. I feel like when you used to hear hackers in the media, like, you know, 2000s, 2000s, It was like, they hacked the government.
They exposed all the missiles and stuff. These guys are like, we're going to mess with our freezers. Right. See, he just pulled away.
No, no, I've been on it, I swear. We're going to turn off the ice cream. We're going to turn off the ice cream. 122 degrees, wouldn't I cook?
I might cook some stuff. Okay. Sell it faster. We got it.
Okay, we got it. Freezers, problem. It's all over the world now. There's somebody messing with our food.
I feel like that would upset you. No more chicken. No. Rice?
No more rice. What do you mean? Rice doesn't go in a freezer? It's in a bag.
Maybe. I think they keep it forever. It spoils. It spoils.
Okay. All right, Dwayne Wade's statue. Remember we talked about that three years ago? Yeah, the nasty statue.
Nasty statue. They've cut the head off and put a new head on. Did they? Yes.
They cut the head off. I have a picture I'll send to both of you in just a minute. Okay. The Miami Heat revealed a redesigned face on October 30th, On the 30th, two years after the original became an international punchline, the original didn't look like him at all, fans wildly mocked the bronze likeness outside Miami's Kinsey, Kinsey Center, where it debuted in October, 2024.
All right, hold on, I'll send you guys. It used to be the American Airlines Arena. Picture, I have to find it. Are we allowed to show it?
I assume not. Yeah, yeah, we'll put it up. how many did you just see what you were doing that one got less than the SPC yeah that one got like a 10 wow alright there you go you guys should both have it I don't want to see it now the face with the blue background is the old one oh yeah oh it matches him now yeah now it looks just like him yeah it's way better so much better right So much better. That looks way better.
Yeah, the other one, he doesn't have any cheeks. His cheeks are all hollowed out. Yeah, it looks scary in the other one. There it is.
Oh, God. No, I'll put it up on the show. Oh, you will? Yeah, no, that's fine, though.
That's fine. Okay. All right, the update focuses on his head and face. Revision keeps the celebration posed while giving way to more recognizable likeness.
So, I mean, they're not divulging what the original statue cost or how much it cost to fix it. Yeah. Why would they? Why wouldn't they?
It's none of your damn business. That's why. Wow, you're very wound up today. Like, I don't see the purpose.
Why would they tell you? It's usually disclosed that kind of information. How much does that cost? I don't know.
It's none of your business. Okay. $7 million. Thank God they fixed it.
It's been two years. Do you think it took two years to make the new one? Or they just went, look, we're tired of the complaints. Somebody make a new head.
I think they eventually got around to it. So they would have to take it down, they can't, you know, bring the head in, cut the other one off, and put it back, why not? That's really good. I don't know, I don't know how, what temperature, well, I don't think the removal would be the problem, it would be the applying the new one so there's no seam.
I would imagine that the sculptor. Well, that's what I mean, they might have had to take it somewhere to beat it properly. I don't think so, I bet they did it right there, on the spot. Is it just the head they replaced?
Yeah. Just the head. Wow. Yeah.
They didn't like make a whole new one. They just... More importantly, what happened to the old head? Well, they melted it.
Bart Simpson has it. I would love the old head. You want the old head? Yeah, the Bart Simpson parts of the old head.
Oh, but they didn't have to tell you how much it is and you don't care. You're right. I would expect them to gift it to me. Oh.
Mm-hmm. Why you specifically? Would they gift it? Because I am part of the new Cigar Hustlers podcast.
Oh! Yeah. Obviously. He's the guy, Palmer.
Yeah. He is the guy. Oh. Yeah.
And then we could put the With that head right here in the middle. Oh, right there on the table? Yeah. Are you going to join the podcast?
It'd have to have its own camera. Let's go ahead. Because you wouldn't see it. It'd be nice if you joined the podcast.
We can put it back there by the TV. Yeah. That Greg says has to have an image on it all. Uh-huh.
Okay. All right, deputies responded to a suspicious person call October 28th, encountered Bradford Canaan. Oh, it's gone. 37, who added an Outstanding Domestic Violence Battery Warrant.
Okay. " Okay, did he go to jail? Eventually. Deputies say he drove to the Apollo Beach boat ramp, abandoned his vehicle, and hid in the shoreline brushes.
A helicopter, drones, and a canine team searched for him for hours. Okay. During his arrest, Canaan allegedly struck canine Benny and bit the dog. They struck Benny?
He struck Benny and then bit the dog's neck and his ear. Uh-oh, that's assault on a police officer. Yes, it is. Uh-huh.
But don't worry, Benny's okay. Benny's okay, according to sheriff's office, no weapon was found. Canaan faced his charges, including aggravated assault on law enforcement, fleeing and eluding, and battery on a police canine. He would have been easier just to take the domestic violence charge.
Was it like a search dog, or was it like a bitey dog? It was a bitey dog. And he bit the bitey dog? He bit the bitey dog twice.
How do you bite the bitey dog? Please tell me. They did mention that the picture of him didn't look like that the dog bit, it looked like somebody punched him in the face, it looked like his nose was broken. He was evaluated at a hospital before being taken to jail.
He was yelling that the charges had been dropped, call my attorney, call the judge. Right. And he didn't want to go. Were they dropped?
No, apparently not. It'd be funny if they actually were, and there was like a glitch in the system. Oh, our bad, sir. She just came quietly.
So sorry. Right, exactly. You come quietly, all this could have been over by now. Have this all sorted out.
Right. We're just going to detain you for right now, and then we'll find out, okay? Right. Now he's got battery on a canine, battery on a law enforcement officer, possession of a drug paraphernalia.
Oh, he had a pipe. And domestic violence, they added that on now too. Yeah, like, you know what, let's just put them on. Let's just add it on.
Just add this to the list of stuff that you're doing. Yeah, let's not one more, you know? Yeah, what's wrong with this? He struck Benny.
This was the original charge, so here you go. Yeah. All right, moving on to Cigar News. Okay.
Wow, 24 minutes in. We're supposed to do it at 30 minutes, so we're pretty close. Six minutes? He's in a rare mood.
Yeah. Am I wrong, Tim? No, he's, yeah. Like, what's up with him today?
He's gonna, he's, he's an instigator. I'm not an instigator. I just said we had you on 24 minutes. He's very short and snippy and not a lot of fun today.
You're not a lot of fun today. Well, then stop attacking me. Have I attacked him, Tim? I'm staying out of this, man.
No, no, we need you involved. That's part of the podcast. Oh, is it? Have I attacked him, Tim?
Who signs my checks again? See? No, go ahead. No, wait, who signs it again?
Is that you, Mike? This is a freeform podcast. Palmer specifically said, I'm going to attack it today. That's what happened.
Did I say something? I said I'm going to attack him? Did I say something to him? Did I say something to attack him?
It has to do with the name, I think, of the podcast. That's where it started. That was prior to the show. I said I didn't like it.
Is that really why? That's where it started, though. Oh my gosh, it really is why. All I said, that is where it is.
That's where it started. Yeah, because I said I didn't like it. I don't like it. " Well, you weren't talking to me, so no, I wasn't listening.
I was talking to you. You were talking to Greg and Steve. I'm not part of that website. You're part of all of this.
Well, thank you. That's very nice of you. You are. But I don't...
How that thing works doesn't really affect me because I don't touch it. See that? I said something nice. He was so confused.
I was. I was. I was so confused. I don't understand.
What? He said something nice. What do I do now? What's going on here?
I haven't attacked you. I just simply told you that I thought that the new Cigar Hustler podcast sounds a little lame. That's just where it started. You're not a dog named Benny.
He's not attacking you. Sounds a little lame. Yes, he is. And yeah, if I don't mention the site name, I don't mention the site name for a reason.
Well, you could have said it without the ending on it. I don't like to do that either. I just don't even like to get close to it. All right.
It's kind of in the name of the show. Exactly. And I just leave it there. People can figure it out.
All right. Right? You want to know about Tatuaje's new cigar? I do.
I want to know why their skinny monsters are on backorder, and they never even asked me if I wanted any. And when I went to go buy them, they're on backorder. And then they sent me the ashtrays. They're really cool ashtrays.
They are cool ashtrays. I sold one of them already. Did we? Yeah, yeah.
I sold it to a guy. Sold it to a guy? Yeah, a guy. He was the guy that called us a couple weeks back asking if we were going to get him in.
Well, you don't even work for us upstairs. No, yeah, I didn't. Like I told Keanu that this guy was going to come. That's how I sold it, yeah.
Did he buy online or did he buy in store? In store. Really? Mm-hmm.
I forgot his name. I want to say it's Steve or something like that. Steve? It wasn't our Steve.
Different Steve. Totally different Steve? Yeah, different Steve. There is only one Steve.
Yeah, there's only one Steve. All right, Tatuaje announces a new run of Boris Karloff. Oh. Tatuaje is bringing back its cigar line name for the famed actor who played Frankenstein's monster and the mummy among many other roles.
Boris Karloff. This year's version is a six and a quarter by 47 size, a Grand Corona that uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper atop a Nicaraguan binder and fillers. Pricing is set at? -$12.
-$13. -$13. - Oh, you went the right way. $15 per cigar, $300 for a box of 20 cigars.
Production is limited to 2,000 boxes with the cigars made at the My Father's Cigar Factory in Esteli. Since he was a constant shapeshifter adapting to every role as a consummate actor, it always made sense to change the Vitola each time the limited release was produced. produced. Oh, that's a nice way to tie it in.
The company wrote in a press release. Karloff's career spanned some 50 years and numerous characters including voicing the Grinch. Oh, in the 1966 television show that earned him a Grammy. I wasn't aware of that.
He was awarded two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. How do you get two? Well, you pay for them. Oh, do you?
Yeah, yeah. They offer, like, hey, would you like to have a star on the Walk of Fame? And then you He paid them. I believe I heard it was $20,000.
Really? But he probably got two. He probably got for the monsters. He got one for, you know, Frankenstein, one for the mummy.
I don't think that's how it works. I thought it was just like you just get your name on a star. Well, yeah, but they might have given the star to Frankenstein and put Boris Karloff underneath it. I mean, if you're paying for it, you can put whatever name you want on it.
That's interesting. It's like a Michelin star sort of thing? " And they didn't know? Well, they did it in the same year.
" Maybe that guy didn't red light. Maybe. Maybe. Well, back then it might have been Red Candle.
Maybe he's just angry because his friend told him that he didn't like the new name of the Cigar Host podcast. Maybe. Maybe that was it. And then he got agitated.
What was the actor's name again? Boris Karloff. - Boris Karloff. - You're not familiar with Mr.
Karloff? - I don't know the name of it, now I know it. - Wow. - Well, Karloff, I know the Karloff name, but...
- You know the Karloff name? - Yeah. - Yeah? - But not Boris.
- What's the first name? - Boris, is that it? - Is that the only Boris Karloff, is that the Karloff that you know? - Yeah, I don't know of another famous Karloff.
- Isn't there Karloff cigars, too? Is that associated with this? - There's a Boris Karloff cigar. - Is there really?
- Well now, this is now, yes. - Oh my God. - Kristoff cigars. I've read the Boris Karloff before in the store.
Oh, really? Oh, okay. Okay. What is this called?
The new size is scheduled to begin shipping to select retailers this week. Yay! Is that us? Are we getting the Boris Karloff?
Yeah, I don't know, I haven't heard from them. I'm getting a comment about the... About the Boris Karloffs, I guess? I looked into why he has two stars.
Okay, why does he have two? He was honored for his separate contributions to two different entertainment mediums, motion pictures and television. Oh. I wasn't aware they had separate categories.
Two different streets. You had to cross the street for the TV ones. Oh, yeah. It's a rougher, dirtier street.
Yeah. I didn't know that television and... What is it? Movies?
Yeah. Motion pictures. I didn't know that was considered separate media. Motion pictures.
Yeah. That's what they used to call movies. Yeah. moving pictures motion pictures uh let's see the line which is produced under licensing from the carloff enterprises and his daughter is supposed to be his granddaughter imagine sarah carloff yeah it could be his daughter i guess so i guess she would still be alive from 1960 and it's possible uh the original let's see debuted in january 2025 and a five and five eights by 49 but But its roots go back further.
In 2008, Tatuaje debuted its wildly popular monster series with the Frank. Also introduced the Boris, which was supposed to be the first cigar in the complimentary line called. A lot of information about Boris. Oh, you're right, 2012, 18, 20, 25, and 20.
They all had different versions. Wow, and then they proceed to give all the different sizes. It's been that long? 2020?
No. That's what it says? No, we had Karloff before. No, it said 2018, I think.
Yeah, but I feel like we had Karloff like last year. I haven't, I don't remember Karloff. I remember Karloff when I was hired here in like 2020. I think they did 2025, I think was on the list.
Oh, it was? Yeah. Okay. Alright, EGM Cigars begin shipping NINFA, N-I-N-F-A, NINFA?
You have to call them by their proper name. Call what by their proper name? It's EGM. I don't think it's pronounced.
Yeah, it's EGM. Is it EGM? Yeah. No, it's not.
It is. With the letter N? E-G-M. I said E-G-M Cigars, he says it's EGM.
EGM. Would there be two G's if it was EGM? No. That'd be E-G-M.
It's EGM. Only if it was hyphenated. It's Agam. Yeah.
I think it's EGM. No. Is it Eggo? I think it's three guys' names.
It's not. Edgar, Greg, and Marty. Edgar, Greg, and Marty. Edgar, Greg, and Marty.
You were going to go Mike, but you felt like it was too close to home. No, no. I almost said Morty and it didn't make any sense at all. It's Agam.
It's like how CAO is cow. Come on. Doesn't Crux have a Nymphomaniac? They have a Nymphomaniac.
Oh. Feels like that's a little close. I don't know if we can say that. Well, I think Nymphomaniac is a type of jar.
Okay. Yeah, and Hypnermaniac is something else. Yeah, no jar involved there at all. No jar involved.
There could be a jar involved. Hopefully not, but... Wow. Did you hear about the place where they were banging dead people?
I did see we were sent something, but I couldn't tell which one it was. Yeah, I think that was what it was. Oh. I didn't watch that one either yet.
Ah. I was hung up on the Amazon thing. " They're price fixing. I'm like, okay, well, then just don't buy it.
I heard they sold the big Amazon building over there. Did they? Yeah, but who'd they sell it to? Maybe they sold it themselves.
I mean, it was just about enough money to pay that lady off who worked for Blue Cross. 127 million. Yeah, it was like $120 million they sold the building for. Wow, really?
Yeah. I feel like that should be more almost. That's a big warehouse. Just a box.
Yeah, it's just a big square box. It doesn't come with the stuff? Does it come with the stuff? It doesn't come with the stuff.
No, no, no stuff is in there. No, that's a bummer. All right, the jar is a new limited edition packaging option for its core line of cigars that made the debut in 2026 PCA convention and trade show this past April. Inside each jar are 50 specially selected, oh, nymphas.
So that's a cigar, not a jar. Mm-hmm. A long and slender size that measures seven and three quarters. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the size of the cigar. Yeah. And that's why they call it the nymphomaniac. Right, there's the longest name too.
Right, right, right, right, right, right. There we go. Got it, got it, got it. Memphis are a dream come true, says Etor Morciarelli.
Owner of EGM. Ah, EGM. Yeah, maybe his middle name is Greg, or Jeff with a G. Of EGM Cigars in a press release.
Thank you. These elegant cigars speak to us about a bygone era. It's a size that asks you to slow down and listen to The Leaf. I'm not slowing down.
I'm not listening to The Leaf. I can't slow down. I don't want to listen to it. I don't have time to listen to anything.
I've got enough people telling me what to do. Yeah, I don't need a leaf to listen. I don't want to listen to leaf. Ugh.
Is it a good cigar? That's what I got to know. I don't know. It's in a jar.
You can't see it. Mr. Eggum. The blend remains the same as the version sold in boxes.
Oh, there you go. Same thing. Meaning an all Dominican wrapper, binder, and filler with the tobacco age for at least... 75 years.
Tim? Eight years. Three years. That was closer.
While the blend is Seiko dominant, it also incorporates some Lajero. The cigars are made at... How are you going to make me say that? A-B-A-M.
A-B-A-M. A-B-A-M. A-B-A-M cigars, S-R-L, in the Dominican Republic. A-B-A-M.
The ceramic jars are handmade in Italy. It's handmade in Italy. And individually... I wonder if they're by the regurgitating bear.
Yeah, were they by the bear? Maybe. With production limited to 500 jars, in the US it has an MSRP of? $18.
No, no, the jar, the jar full of cigars. The jar? Jar full of cigars. The whole jar.
How many nymphas are in the jar? I don't know. Is the Rodecaster called the Surface A105? I can't believe that's it, right?
I don't know why. Can you hit the Bluetooth button on that thing and see if we screw up this whole thing? What? Oh, on the new one?
Yeah. No, it's the Rodecaster 8, what's the name on the top of that board? There's a Bluetooth button, right? Rodecaster Video S.
Hit the Bluetooth button, we're gonna test this out. Is there a Bluetooth button? There should be. Look at you.
You're not talking to the microphone, nobody can hear what you said anyway? Yeah. I don't have my glasses on. There's definitely a Bluetooth button.
Okay, well there's a little eyeball, there's a word that says auto, there's cut, there's a little graph. I'm coming over. Okay. Can't get out.
Yes, I can. Put the camera in. No, you can't. Can't get out.
Can't get out. Can't get out. Good crotch shot. Your butt just went into your thing of water.
Put it back in me. I'll finish reading the story. Handmade in Italy, numbered 500 pieces in the USA. It's an open MSRP of $3,000 per jar.
We limited to its retail partners and not available online. Eggum said the jars should be arriving at stores this week. Yay. I got a Steve Saka story.
Who are we calling Steve Saka? No. Calling the birthday boy? Yes.
Yes, you know! I know it's his birthday. You know! I know it's his birthday.
Who? What? You'll find out. Oh, I also looked up why it's called EGM, or Eggum.
Yeah, why is it Eggum? It's called Eggum. It's derived from the initials of the brand's founder, Ettore Gabriel Marchionelli. Marcinelli.
Why would you be on me when I'm trying to sit down? I don't know. You should have been on him. He was talking.
Yeah. You know what? Hey, I'm going to speak and then let's get a crotch shot. I haven't been here in a couple days, guys.
Yeah. Lock in. Lock in. You embarrass yourself.
See? Now he's attacking you. Welcome to the club. The camera looks like it moved.
Huh. It probably did. Is it blurry or is that just my eye? No, just a little off to the side.
It's fine. Everything's fine. You want to call him now? I do.
Okay, go ahead. And we haven't used this Bluetooth, I wonder if this will work on my phone. Oh. Is that the same old phone or did you get a new one?
This is a new one. Oh yeah, it works. Apparently it works. Oh, well, let's see if it...
Oh, yeah, they can't hear you. Yeah. One moment while I tried to connect this call... What the hell is this?
" You can leave a message after the tone. Oh, let's all sing. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Ronnie, happy birthday to you. See, we called you on a Cigar Houses podcast and you didn't answer and now we had to sing to you.
Goodbye. That was Ronnie from Secreto Cigars. Yes, today's his birthday. Yeah.
Hmm. I was hoping that we can get him on the phone and he'd do a whole tirade about something. Then you hang up on him. I'm not stupid.
I'm not gonna hang up on him. Oh, you always do when he calls in the show. Do I? Yeah.
I'm pretty funny. Now, I feel bad for him. He's got, he's going through some back pain, some other stuff. I wouldn't hang up on him.
He still doesn't answer the phone when I call. Yeah. You're still not forgiven. Apparently, it doesn't answer the phone when I call either.
Well, he says he's gonna call you back. I've never gotten that thing before. That's the, that's part of the new phone system. He's next level.
He's evolved. Yeah, the new phone system. There's some way in there you can put it where you were like you would had to have said your name and then it tells them and then you come back. I'm sorry.
Yeah, not available right now. Hmm. Huh. Interesting.
All right, Steve's a lot to do it. Steve Saka is teasing that Takumi. the Takumi Takumi Takumi as a possible PCA 2027 release release for Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust Takumi in July Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust filed a trademark application for a new line called Takumi you say Takumi T-A-K-U-M-I it might be pronounced Takumi Takumi yesterday we learned a bit more about the project that could be coming out in the 2027 PCA convention and trade show In a Facebook post about a new store exclusive for Cigars Daily called Shakua Bushido, Steve Saka said that Takumi will use an Ecuador and Sumatera wrapper and that the project has been in the works for roughly three years. This won't be the first release from Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust to use an Ecuador and Sumatera wrapper as the K-A-N-H, the Khan Fiddlehead and Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust 10th Jubilee both use the wrapper.
What's the fiddle head? Is it really insane? The fiddle head? I don't remember a fiddle head.
So what it is, is it's like, what they do is they take this, it kind of looks like a, almost like a violin, right, and what they do is they carefully and methodically apply it on the top of the cap, and then in order for you to use it, you have to like pull it, you know, like you gotta pull it like this. Oh, good job getting on for that. It's a fiddle head. Oh.
Yeah. A fiddle head's a weed. Yeah, no, I'm talking about like a fiddle. Oh, gotcha.
It's like the top of it. Right. It has nothing to do with the weed. Oh, okay.
Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah. It's not going to describe the Takumi as a very limited production Liga that he may showcase again at the 2027 BCA.
Yeah, it's very limited. And if you're in Georgia, and you have one of these Takumis, you may be visited by the devil. Oh. Wow, allegedly.
He went down there? Yeah, allegedly. And yeah, he did. He went down there.
He went down to Georgia and he was looking, he was looking for someone with a fiddle. Oh, gotcha. And then he got mixed up with a fiddle head. Devil went down to Georgia.
Yeah. And he was looking for a Takumi to steal. Yeah. He was in a bind cause he was way behind.
He was willing to make a deal. And Johnny had the Takumi. Yeah. He was like, I, I'm the best there is.
Yeah. I'll tell you what you Takumi lover. I'm the best there's ever been. Right.
Right. Gotcha. In the process of creating the Takumi, Saka said he developed a liga that wasn't exactly what i wanted to achieve for it and he called that one sold it in a gold box sold it for 40 a stick and everybody loved it thought it was the greatest cigar ever and then he went on a tirade saying that everybody was stupid and they loved him more oh yeah or it was the shakua bushido oh which means fiddlehead in georgia it means fiddlehead in georgia yes -Shakuwa Bushida. -Shakuwa Bushida.
-Yeah. What's he, what did he just do? Is this all Japanese or something? -So here's what he does.
There's a wall with a bunch of different letters. -Yeah. -And he gets about six to seven darts at a time, throws them all at the wall, and that's how he gets his words. -Does he then assemble it into ChatGBT and it comes up with words?
-Yeah, here's the letters I have. -Here's the letters, but it's in some sort of order. -Shakuwa Dijimi. Shakaka.
That was taken. -That was Espinosa. -That's Espinosa. Write that down.
It's also reasonable, a very reasonable name. Chikaka, Chikaka. Shakua Bushido will be released at the 2026 Cigartopia event, which will be held at Cigars Daily Headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona on November 14th. I'm going to make one called MIVC.
MIVC? MFG, MIVC. MFG? Yeah, and when somebody says you have an MFG, I'm like, I don't even know what you're talking about.
I don't know what it is. But I do have this MIVC here, if you're interested in the MIVC. Yeah, if you hand them two, it's MIVCs. Yeah, right, plural.
The MIVCs. They will initially be available for in-person purchase at the event with any remaining cigars offered via Cigars Daily website. Pricing has not yet been announced. It's a Cigars Daily site?
Yeah, Cigars Daily. It's a, oh, the Takuki? The Bushido Shikido. Oh, the Bushido Shikido.
Yeah. The one that wasn't okay. Right. This one sucked.
No, he goes, it was still good, so it became the Bushido. First of all, Steve Sakat, he says that they all suck. That's his thing. That's his thing.
Yeah. Yeah. And they're all good. Oh.
This one sucked. What we do know is that the cigars will come in 10 count bundles, while production numbers, the factory producing the cigars, as well as the rest of the blend. We're not saying that. I would like a...
I would like a... I'm not saying how many, where, or what it is. I would like a store exclusive, sir, Mr. Steve.
Never gonna happen, but I would like one and I want it to be called This One Sucked. Put it in a brown paper bag, I'll sell all of them. We just made fun of him for 10 minutes, I really think we do it all the time, we mean well, we don't, you know what I mean, I give him my money all the time, we give him the money, he's my friend, kind of, sort of, he's like the distant friend, gotcha, like that cousin you only see in holidays. Yeah, well, we hang out, we have a good time, and then, and then he stays away.
Right. Don't exit you again. He's like, I did that. We got along, we had a good time, and then now I'm going to go keep my distance.
Right, let's not push it. Don't tell anybody that I hung out. Right, don't tell anybody that you have pictures. I'm like a scooter.
You know what I mean? Like, I'm fun to get on, but. Like a moped. Yeah, we don't want to tell anybody.
Right. Yeah, yeah. All right, it's time for the industry's favorite game: What's The Score? There it is.
I feel like it took 35 minutes for you guys to finally open up. Thank you. Welcome to the show. It's time for what's the score.
I'll give you the cigar, the blend, the two positive clues, one negative clue, and the reviewer's final thought. Your job is to guess the score. Closest guest wins. Today, we're looking at the Cayman Cigar Company.
No worky, sir. Oh, they're not turned on. Tim, run around behind him and turn them on. Tim McNatural.
Keep that on. Let's see who's got it. The cigar. No, no.
The things. Just flick the switch. Stop yelling at Tim. I'm not yelling at Tim.
Okay. There's some reason under the coffee table. There we go. Did you check the powder?
I filled it. I filled it. I filled it. I filled it.
I filled it. I filled it. Yes. The review date, June 18, 2026.
The reviewer is Patrick Legree. The cigar is the Cayman Cigar Company Tortuga. Tortuga? Yes.
Tanaka? No, just Tortuga. Who did this one? Tortuga?
Who made this cigar? Patrick. Oh, who made it? Patrick LaGreed made the Tortuga?
No, he did the review. And then he reviewed it? It's the Cayman Cigar Company. Oh.
Did he have a little fiddle while he reviewed it? No, he had a Phil Head. Phil Head, I'm so sorry. Lately different cigar.
I missed like the first half of that. Do you want me to go first? All I've said was the name. I'm just waiting for my This One Suck to come out.
It's going to be a great release. Great release. It's going to be of epic proportions. What's it called?
This One Suck. No, this one sucked. No, no, really. What's it called?
I'm sorry, it's no good, but what's it called? No, it's called This One Sucked. Oh. Yeah.
All right, Tim. 83. Wow. I don't even know what's going on.
I don't even know what cigar we're doing at this point. He thinks we're reviewing that this one sucked. This one? Yeah.
No, that one's going to get a 90, obviously. No, it would probably get like a 92. Oh. Cigar of the Year.
Yeah, it'd be Cigar of the Year. Yeah. 85. It's a 6x58 Perfecto from the Tablacalera.
6x58. Yeah. Okay. Did you say 58?
Yes. Good God. Factory's Tablacalera Familia Disla in Nicaragua. Oh.
MSRP is $24. Oh, I know who this is now. $240 per box of 10, and then they smoke three. Hmm.
First of all, Padrón, this one sucked. This one, exactly. Exactly. This one sucked.
86. I'm going the other way. 84. The wrapper is Ecuadorian, Connecticut Seed, and Mexican, San Andreas.
The binder is Nicaraguan. Filler is Nicaraguan. Guess again. Oh, is this the Barber Bowl?
So much information. Sounds like it. Yeah. He's the cigar.
That's pretty much what you just said. He's the pointy on the both sides. Pointy on both sides. It has some tobacco.
You put fire to it and then you put it in your mouth. Yeah, right. And this one sucked. This one, this sometimes a good, sometimes maybe.
Okay. 84. 83. Clue number one.
These have tobacco inside and have taste sometimes. Kind of. Creaminess and Almond give the profile its more enjoyable moments. When those elements stand out, they provide welcome flavor and show the blend as something appealing beneath its elaborate presentation.
Mmm. $24 too, huh? $83. $81.
Pepper supplies another highlight, bringing character when it becomes more noticeable. Beyond the draw, the cigars generally perform well, giving the reviewer positive aspects to recognize alongside the flavor highlights. That was a whole lot of words. 83.
81. Clue number three. Every sample has a firm, almost tight draw. The effort required becomes distracting while the flavor often leaves a reviewer wanting more variety, depth of intensity, depth or intensity to make the experience more satisfying.
83. Final Thought: Viewer, Visually, the Tortuga commands attention with contrasting wrappers in distinctive shape and a decorative head. Smoking it proves less impressive. Cream, almond, and pepper offer enjoyable stretches, but the restrictive draw holds it back.
The reviewer would welcome a smaller, straight-sided version with better airflow to expand the blend's potential. Ultimately, appearance seems to receive more emphasis than flavor. Those are the clues. Lock in.
What's the score? 82. 80. Final score?
86. Wow. That is ridiculous. Didn't even really like the flavor.
He said it looked pretty. He said it looked pretty. I'm gonna look at what it looks like. What was Tortuga from what?
Oh, Cayman? Cayman Island cigars. There it is. It's pretty.
We're going to call Pete Hernandez. My man. Hey, you're on the podcast. What's up, buddy?
Hello? Hello, can you hear me? Oh, it doesn't work. It doesn't work.
Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello, Pete?
Hello? Pete, hello. Why doesn't it work? Why isn't he talking?

Very limited. Very limited. Yeah. Although you are in the circle of trust.

Make sure to get them then. Now he's gonna call Pete and beg for you to get them. Yeah, all right, okay. Just making sure.
So, what's on the docket today? What are you guys talking about? We just covered it. We thought we'd call Pete.
We just covered it. We wanted to call Pete. Yeah. Oh, okay.
Look how important you are. You call, I answer, you want something, you got it. Come on, son. That's amazing.
Come on, son. You're amazing. We're not getting them. No, they're not coming.
They're not coming, are they? They're not coming. No, I didn't even call. Yeah, they are.
Okay. All right. We didn't even call you. We didn't even try to squeeze you for an order.
How about that? Because I just call on the regular when I need product. Right. And I don't even call you.
I just call your brother. And if I come by, you give me an order? Yeah. Yeah.
All the time. Right. That's it. Right.
Yeah. You're good, bro. Nothing but love, baby. Nothing but love.
That's what's up. That's what's up. Okay. It's good to hear your voice.
Say what's up to Mike for me. I will. He says hi. Hi.
Hear them? Did you hear them? He can't hear them. I attached it to the video board, but it doesn't work on my phone.
I don't know why. You have it blocked? I do for you, but you can't do for me. That's right.
That's correct. You know what? I think we have a bad reception because you tried to call me a couple of times and it didn't go through. Yeah.
Well, I heard you. So, all right. Well, we love you. Travel safe.
We love you too, brother. Have a great day and thank you very much. All right, buddy. Bye bye.
All right. So we're getting, we're getting them. Yeah, I get them. They're not coming.
Well, how do you look on a list? " He's driving the car? Hold on one second. Hold on one minute.
" I wrote it down right there. He takes the order, crumples it up, and throws it out the window. There we go. Yeah.
Alright. Alright, that's all I got. That's the end of the game. Here's the cigar.
I'm sorry. I had it on my phone, I have to show you. He loves showing pictures to the camera. I do.
He does. That's him and Ziggy's thing. Showing the pictures? Showing the pictures?
Yeah. Engineer. Engineer. You should have a screen, so you can just pop something up.
Oh, great. Okay. I don't know how that works. Well, I mean, you could probably do D and have that connected to a screen or something like that.
We'd have to have another camera set up. No, probably not. There's a monitor. Yeah, just plug one of the USB thingies into a monitor and then bing, bam, boom.
Well, we only have the three. They only made these three? Yeah, there's only three. Oh, wow.
They only made the three. He's using HDMI like I did here to show out. I think we're good. We're fine.
We just evolved into this. All right. Well, hey, thank you so much. Before you sign off, did that thing work for you?
Is that okay? I love this. This is great. We're not going to have a match then.
I'm not spending another $45. Yeah, I think we're good where we're at. How about them? Do they need one over there?
Are they going to stick with it? No, he's fine with that. All right. Then we're done.
We're done. I like how before the podcast you're like, I'm getting you a new stand. Did he say that? He really did.
I didn't say that, he really did. There was an option. Well, Greg, who... He insisted too.
" No, I said Greg, not Mike. And then Greg's gonna paint the wall or something over here too, I don't know. He's gonna paint it? No, he's having something made.
Oh, he found out the guy who made the one upstairs in the bathroom? Yeah. That man passed. Oh no.
Yeah. " Oh. Wait, what upstairs? We're gonna get rid of the brick and do something else on that wall.
