Episode 130 Roma Craft are witches!!! Florida is always a head! Down in Africa!
Episode Summary
Episode 130 of A Cigar Hustler's Podcast opens with Mike Palmer recapping a family beach vacation (and a hard-won junior suite upgrade) plus an update on the hosts' 22 push-ups for 22Kill challenge, before the guys dig into the episode's centerpiece: an anonymous online wiki post — passed along by media guy "Coop" — that strings together cigar logos into a child-trafficking/satanic conspiracy theory. The hosts walk through the claims one by one: Fable Cigars' imagery, the Postana Votek perfecto's bear and "pan" symbol, the Guaimaro logo (actually a silhouette of Esteban and his brother Raul working in tobacco as kids), RoMa Craft's Witchcraft and Intemperance artwork, and the Baka Bantu name, which the writer ties to the Congo. They find the whole thing absurd — comparing it to the infamous "monster logos" video — and even invite the anonymous author onto the show, noting that Skip Martin somehow ends up the alleged kingpin of it all.
From there the show moves into cigar news. RoMa Craft Tobac is adding a box-pressed 5 x 56 "Tarred and Feathered" to the Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion 1794 line, slated for Q4 2020 at $9.35 per cigar and about 500 boxes annually, with its Ecuadorian Habano ligero wrapper, Indonesian Besuki binder and Dominican/Nicaraguan filler. They also cover the launch of the first luxury hand-rolled cigar made in Zimbabwe by entrepreneur Shep Mafuwanda, who built an all-female rolling team despite lockdowns and a battered economy; the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit striking down the FDA's large-cigar warning label requirement (a win cheered by the Premium Cigar Association and Cigar Rights of America, though the hosts gripe that manufacturers already paid to redesign boxes); and Espinosa's 601 La Bomba Warhead VI — a 5 x 58 figurado, the first non-box-pressed and thickest Warhead yet, made at AJ Fernandez's San Lotano factory, 1,000 boxes of 10 at $10 per cigar.
The back half is classic Hustlers filler: Florida setting a single-day record of more than 15,000 new COVID cases, the hosts' own mask etiquette and restaurant experiences, a human head found on a St. Petersburg roadside, Dunkin' closing 450 Speedway gas-station locations, a Harvard study recommending masks during sex, and a Publix press release about donating five million pounds of produce and 350,000 gallons of milk to Feeding America food banks. Mike is smoking the new HVC 500 and teases the week's Patreon secret show: a review of The Voyage by Baracoa Cigars.

Transcript
Welcome to the #1 Rated Cigar Show on Podbean, this week we've got Romacrafter witches, Florida always ahead, and the Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti, all that and more on episode 130 of the Cigar Hustlers Podcast. All right. Welcome to episode 130 of a Cigar Hustlers podcast. My God, we've been doing this for a long time.
The number one cigar show on Podbean, my wife tells people. Let them know. D. King Palmer.
She had some friends who did a podcast and she listened to it. " I'll have my husband listen to it and tell you what he thinks, because he's got the number one cigar show on Podbean, she tells people. Oh. And how did they do?
Was it terrible? The show itself is terrible, but they were a guest on someone else's show. Well, the guy had one mic, four people, so you can hear-- We've been there. Yeah, we've done that.
You can hear two of them really well, so they must have been the closest to the microphone, which is obviously the main guy, and then, you know. And then his sidekick, not the producer, I think he did the most. You can tell every once in a while they lean in and talk and then they disappear and then they come back. Huh.
Yes. Wow. So how was your little trip? Because last week we talked about your trip.
Yeah, the trip was amazing. You had a good trip? So, yeah. So we went into the first room and we stayed the night in the first room.
Oh, you had to change rooms? Yeah. The suite was not sufficient for the king? The suite was not sufficient.
But you're getting ahead of yourself. I'm trying to tell a story. How dare these people? Sorry.
So the room was very tight. Very small. Very tight for two kids. King is not having a small room.
And an infant. And I was a little upset with the view. So, you know, the whole purpose of getting a golf view is to see... The golf?
The golf. Was it like the golf is actually this way? Correct. And your room is looking that way?
So yeah, so if I turn my head... If you go... Oh yeah, there's a gulp. And I'm like, I can't even see the sunset.
Yeah. What the fuck? Right. " Do you know who I am?
Do you know who I am? I have the number one cigar show on Podbean. I will review your hotel. No, I said, "Hey, look, I'm usually eligible for an upgrade.
" Oh, do I get an upgrade? That I can make this upgrade happen? You know, I saw that you had a junior suite available. available um but it was locked out and um she says uh well we can't give you that upgrade but we can give you a deal on it i said okay done so then we went in there oh and you're just like still not big enough huge it was huge the junior suite was yeah it was amazing like dining room huge uh there was a dining room oh there was a dining like a kitchenette or like a dining room There was no kitchenette.
There was a big dining room table. Nice. It was amazing. So, and then we could sit and we were like right, we were like the first level.
On the ground? No, it was the first level of the room, so it was like level three. Oh, ah. It's not high enough.
And we could see everything. It was perfect. It's not high enough. You need higher.
No, I was good where I was at. Oh. You know, your push-ups every day were on your little balcony. You couldn't tell it was a different balcony when they move you to the junior street.
It was a different balcony. You couldn't tell. I'll have to go back and watch the videos, because I was looking for the view. I was going to do one on the beach, and then like, it just didn't happen, you know?
Well, I obviously don't have the child to jump on my back, but I tried doing it with the dog this morning, and the medium-sized dog, she got up and walked away. He's not cooperating. No, she was not cooperating. She got up and walked away.
" And then the big one came in, and he was like, trying to get under me, and so it didn't work, I gotta redo it. com, and the most recent one with Justice on my back, that wasn't intended. Right, yeah, I read that on the thing. He just joined.
" And then of course, once I went to the ground, Justice jumped right on my back. It's a game! There we go! Like, this is fun.
This is fun! Now, I have gotten some comments about my knuckle push-ups. You know, I tried knuckles. I can't do it with my hands.
It's painful. No, it is a little painful, but I will tell you this. I'm old, I have arthritis. There's actually a reason why I do it.
I get a cyst on my wrist. Oh, yeah, yeah, we've talked about that before. So when I do a push-up flat, if I extend... Well, you need those red, white, and blue bands that John Carney used.
Yeah, if I extend here... Holy shit, that thing was like eight feet long. Yeah. Yeah, he's like boxing.
If I extend it too hard here, it'll bulge up and then it'll hurt forever. So I tend to do the fist. Now, when Justice jumped on my back, I couldn't keep my balance, so I had to convert down and just kind of deal with it. But yeah, so that's why I do the fists.
That and I'm a real man, Michael. Oh, whatever. Big girl. I'm smoking the new HVC 500.
Oh, I had a cigar I usually do during the meeting, but I am waiting for... We'll give a little teaser. This week's Patreon, we're reviewing The Voyage. The Voyage.
By Baracoa Cigars. Baracoa. Baracoa. Baracoa.
I'm so looking forward to this. The company's dissolved now, but we're intrigued. Oh, yes, it is, but we still were able to get a hold of some voyages. Some voyages.
So if you want to jump on the Patreon this week, it'll be a good one. I'm sailing away. All right, so we should just jump right into it because this is hot off the presses. Michael handed me something right before airtime, so I was able to go over it briefly, but apparently there is.
Yeah, we can get into that if you want. I mean, I don't know if there's anything else you want to talk about the trip. What did you do? We went to Wecava Falls Sunday with the Atwells and some friends there.
They were camping out there for the day. We had a lovely day. It was a great time. The picture of the fountain thing looks really fun.
Well, that's a spring coming out of the ground. Yeah, it looks lovely. Except for the smell of sulfur, if you're at the wrong angle. Oh, yeah.
Other than that, though, I mean, the water was clear. There's these little fish that bite at your little feet, you know. Right. " Yeah, so, but no, we had a lovely time, a nice little picnic in the cabana up on the ridge, and we had a great time.
You know, I will tell you this about the beach vacation, since you brought up smell. Like, for the ocean, like, I can't-- Oh, it stinks. No, it doesn't smell at all. You didn't smell at all?
Normally, the Gulf smells worse than the Atlantic. I can tell you that, like, I could breathe better. Oh. Everything, like, even my eczema has, like, cleared up.
From the saltwater? Yeah. Would you go in the water a lot? No, we weren't really in the saltwater time.
We were in the pool. Right. Because it's just hard with the-- Babies. With the nint, yeah.
You know? Yeah. Oh, lovely pictures of the little baby teddy. Yeah, she's very photogenic.
She is. She does a great job. She does a great smile. She's very happy sometimes.
Yeah, it's for photos, evidently. But Jax and I were throwing the football on the beach. Oh! And Justice can't be bothered.
He just kind of does his own thing. Burying people or digging for treasure? Yeah, pretty much. Who are you burying?
I don't know, Daddy. This man. Yeah, he's fine. He's fine.
He's fine. He's my friend. But yeah, man. I mean, it was cool.
It was cool. I mean, I haven't really taken a vacation like that. Right. I don't think ever.
Oh. Ever? Yeah. Really?
Yeah. Like a family vacation? I'm trying to think. I guess, well, you know, it's very hard when you own your own business to get time away anyway.
But you guys did, but I think it was before Teddy was born, you guys went down south or something on the beach? I think you actually had something, some type of event and they tagged along. You tagged along. Yes, I went to Caribbean Cigars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you tied the two like an extra day or something. Right. Well, they went to the hotel and then I did the work.
Right. And I'll tell you what, man, you know, the phone's a blessing and a curse. Oh, I know, yeah. Because I handled a lot of work stuff Thursday and Friday and Saturday, right?
Which is good to get those things ironed out and kind of keep the ball rolling. Right. But it also sucks too, right? Like, I just, I have a hard time, I guess, kind of turning it off as well.
You can't. Yeah. That's why, with my, my business used to demand a lot more of my time, several years ago, and that's why we took so many cruises as vacations, because on a cruise, you're forced to turn it off. My wife's afraid to go on a cruise.
Yeah, I know, because you're gonna kill her and throw her off. She thinks I'm gonna throw her off? I would never do that! I always had a deal with Adrian, when we get on the cruise, we put our phones in the safe, and then shut the safe, and then, if you're in port, you can check it once.
But any time the boat is at sea, no phone, no phone. That's nice. I would probably check the phone and the place would be on fire. So what are you going to do at that point from the boat anyway?
It's true. It's more along the lines of orders and issues. Well, like we discussed last week, there's some things you have to approve. Right.
And I can't pass, I just can't pass that yet. Right. There's still too many smaller issues that I'm trying to close those gaps and fix that. Right.
And fix that before I can just say, okay, now you're in charge of all this other shit. Right. Exactly. I'd have to give somebody a raise, too.
I'll have to do that. Oh. I get a raise? Yeah.
I don't think so. One cent. I don't even think anyone knows how much I make, including me. I'm good.
I don't know. That's a great question. Yes, I know. All right.
I think they source, I don't know what this is. This is a blog, I'm guessing? Okay, so credit to Coop, because Coop is a good guy. He's a media guy.
He's got his, what, shoulder to the wheel and nose to the grindstone? Yeah, so this is a thing called GitHub, I guess. GitHub? Yeah, and apparently that's a big deal.
I don't know. Oh, GitHub, here we go. He shared it to me, and I thought it was... It's a wiki thing.
I thought it was amazing. I thought it was... Is there a date when this was...? I feel that, you know, obviously the issues that are tied into it are no laughing matter, however, linking us to these issues is fucking hysterical, so I figured it would be best that I would share it with you, and then you could tee off on us.
I'm not teeing off on you, but... But it's pretty, it's... Oh, it was four days ago. Thanks, Orsay.
Edited this page four days ago. Yeah, and the user who did it, he was on there for one day. Oh, and now he's gone. I have no idea.
I can tell you that I looked him up and he was on there just to specifically write this. Oh, wow. That's strange. Yeah, so it's funny for me that it was put out there like that.
I'll just hit the high notes here. Yes. " Yes. We all know about that thing because it happened several years ago, too.
Right. He allegedly made a comment, and there was some legal threats back and forth, I guess, and then he pulled. Right, and it got squashed. It got squashed.
However, apparently it's still in existence. Yes. And I like the fact that... com.
Yes, he did. That was nice. Thank you for your attachment. I mean, the more SEO optimization I can get, the better.
That's right. So... So this guy... Go ahead.
Okay, but don't jump ahead. Okay, so here's what we're trying to address. I know a dress here. Okay, this guy has broken down.
I don't know if anybody's ever seen the monster video where the crazy lady. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you remember the crazy lady who was talking about monsters? Like, oh, you know.
Yeah, you turn it sideways. The three logos are the devil and 666 and then, oh, when you drink, the cross goes upside down. Bottoms up. Like that lady, you know, the person who wrote this is on the same level of that lady and I find it extremely comical.
It's just conspiracy, people. So, you know, just to quickly summarize it before you go into the details of all of it, is that we're pretty much a child trafficking ring of some sort that's linked to pedophilia and other things. Yes. Myself, the Postana brand, Fable Cigars, Guaymaro, Romacraft, Nica Sueño as a whole, and I just, I mean, I find it extremely comical.
So how could I not give you guys this information and share this with you? Oh, he gave Coop a nice little plug here too. " Right, yeah, I looked a little further and didn't see anything else alarming about the owner until I saw an article that their cigars are manufactured by a company called Nikasuenya. Nikasuenya.
Now, he doesn't say anything particularly bad about that name, those two words, but the factory Nicaragua makes a cigar for several companies, and the more brands that turn up by this company, it felt like the marketing was following an odd thing. It's all just a... Dun, dun, dun. We're all part of a...
Take a look. We're sharing an Illuminati. Let's see. Cigar review.
Postana, the Votek Perfecto. He plugged you there. The Votek, yes. The Votek?
Yes. The name of the cigar means uprising and features a bear on the box. Yes. Okay, and then he says, where have we seen this bear theme?
So, I don't know what that was from, so I'm glad that you helped clarify that, because I didn't understand that. I'm like, okay, yeah, it's a bear, what's a bear? Yeah, the symbol of the cigar is a symbol for pan, okay, the bear, apparently, is a pansexual, according to Wikipedia, pansexuality, common theme in Pizzagate stories, whatever Pizzagate is. Yeah, I don't know what that is either, but the P is very similar to the pansexuality symbol.
There's an additional... Oh, it's a symbol. Oh, the symbol on the cigar is the symbol for... Oh, okay.
Not the bear itself. So, that statement is entirely incorrect because it's not the same, right? That one. Yeah.
You can see that on the camera. Right. Oh, crap. We would have had this a little bit sooner.
I could have looked stuff up. So, they did like a... So, I guess the pansexuality one is almost like a... It's like that, but then it has a cross in the middle of it.
Like here? Between... Right there. Right here.
Yeah. Oh, so it's similar is what he says. Right. No, he doesn't say it's similar.
He says it's the same. Cimbal and Cigar. Oh, it is a Cimbal Four. Yeah, sure, right.
Right. But it's not. So, I'm a little confused on some of these terms. Pansexual is you have sex with anybody?
I think so. I think it's like lover of all of it, whatever. Okay. Boys, girls.
I have no idea. Midgets. Cats, dogs. Right.
Bears, apparently. Okay. And then he goes on to say the Guaimaro. Yes.
Poor Esteban. This is my favorite one. You'll see a boxing article as a symbol chosen to market this cigar. Here's a direct link for the picture, Leaf Enthusiast, whoever they are, that it is two children on the box.
Yes, two children. No big deal, except for the other string of symbols used as group of brands made the same factory, Nikaswinyu. Now this one's just, okay, and then there's one called The Witchcraft. Okay, so wait, but wait, you can't jump ahead.
He skimmed over the two children. He just said it has two children. Well, he skimmed over everything, and he's loosely trying to tie it all together, even though, like, none of it's factually based. But the Guaymaro – so the Guaymaro logo – poor fucking Esteban, man.
It's a picture. It's a silhouette of him and his brother Raul growing up and learning tobacco together. Right. No, no, no.
So it's like an image of them in the tobacco pit. Right. It's a photo of them from when they were children. Or child trafficking.
Or child trafficking. Yes, yes. And then witchcraft. I don't know how we did that.
Oh, the snake in the tree. Well, you just mentioned – so he mentions witchcraft. He just says why, and then there's a link. He doesn't explain why.
And then there's witchcraft. Okay. Yeah. Great.
Cool story, bro. All right, good deal. That's amazing. And then there's, let's see, here's another one on the same theme, a snake in the tree, and then another link.
The Intemperance logo. To Coop. Another link to Coop. Let's see.
So a bunch of satanic devil-themed logos. Okay, I guess the witchcraft and the snake in the tree is satanic. So we're Illuminati is what I was saying. Two kids and a straight up Pedo logo, all under the same umbrella.
Maybe these guys are oblivious, maybe it's a coincidence, please tell me it is. One more cigar labeled caught my eye, seemed kind of cryptic, so I decided to look it up and didn't get it right away, but then it popped! And then I took one more shroom, and I drew the connection. No way I thought, follow me on this one.
The cigar is called the Baca Bantu. Aha, the Baca. The Baca. Baca by itself just means full.
That means nothing. Yeah, it's no big deal. Two is something else, it's a tribe, it's a tribe from an area that is known for child trafficking. Boom.
Dramatic pause. And there it is. How much child trafficking? A lot, it says, it says a lot.
Like that is known for child trafficking, it's like their main thing, that's what the tourists all go there for, is for the child trafficking. Of course. And that is exactly why Roma made that. Oh wait, there's an actual list put up on an organization that ranks how bad places are for child trafficking, And this place is where the tribe is listed.
It's the worst one! It's number one. Number one in child trafficking. Number one.
It is in the Congo in Africa. And then there's a lot of links. More info on Congo trafficking. Every area of this government puts out a report to help battle trafficking in humans called the TIP or Trafficking In-Person Report.
Guess what department publishes that? I don't know. State department. That's where it ends.
So it's all these loosely related things that he runs together to... And now we're Illuminati. He doesn't mention Illuminati anywhere. Well, he said some kind of satanic ritual thing.
Isn't that Illuminati? Come on. Just give me the Illuminati. I mean, it was called everything else.
You're not Illuminati, Michael. Those people who control the government, not trafficking children. I feel like that's all tied, though. Isn't that Epstein?
You know, that's all linked. You don't trafficking children, Michael. You're pansexual. Yeah, I'm just...
It's all the sex stuff you talk about all the time. It's a little unnerving now. He's a little unnerving now. Yeah, make you uncomfortable.
Suddenly everything fits into place. It all makes sense. It all makes sense. Bottoms up.
If we could only get this man on the show. You know, he doesn't have his real name or anything like that. Is there an email address or anything? No, I mean, you looked up to me.
We could give him a number. If you, by chance, are listening, if you're a fan of this show. We'd love to have you on. We'd love to have you on the show.
Please. We can zoom you in. We can phone call. Yeah, whatever.
Oh, we could zoom him in and disguise his voice and black out his face. It would be very entertaining. It's you, Aaron Elliman. I know you're behind all this.
Or if somebody just wants to say you're this person. No, because you know what? See, now I'm going to need some kind of confirmation. I'm going to have to go and do my own research because you screwed me that last time with the bangs.
So now you can't make it some bullshit. This person will be on next week. Yeah. Oh, and miraculously, we have the person.
Mike, they contacted me right after the show. Look at this. Yeah, before it was even up. It was amazing.
Okay, you're going to get an unlisted number on your phone. And if you have a phone number on your phone, just take the call. What kind of time do you have on your hands to put that together? I mean, holy shit.
That's a lot of research. There is a lot of research went into this. And like, how did you really tried on all of it? And none of these smoke cigars or how did they come across?
They must have been on your website. I appreciate it. Because that's where they got fabled. Yeah.
I mean, you know, I guess at the end of the day, if some people aren't hating, you're not doing something right. You know what I mean? That's true. I do appreciate, I feel like, for me when I read that, I didn't even get mad.
I was like... Oh, it's hilarious. We're fucking, okay, all right, we're making some progress here. Some people are fucking angry.
That means that we're getting noticed and getting some attention. Well, you know, as usual though, Skip comes out as the biggest part of the whole thing. Yeah, of course. As with things connected to your cigar, Skip is the kingpin.
He's tied to all of it. It's so funny, it's so funny. Man. Maybe Skip would like to come on next week, we'll disguise his voice.
We'll disguise his voice. But hey, here I am, here we all are. So every time he puffs a cigar, he lights up slightly. I mean, he teed off on everything.
Everything. And it was all loose. None of it was... No, it was all so, yeah, it's just as bad as the monster lady.
It's so weak. Well, the monster lady was better. There was a snake, so I must mean they're witchcraft. So clearly...
Oh, they call it witchcraft. I mean... Everything's called crap. I mean, there's the coronavirus and there's corona cigars, they must be linked.
I mean, that's the dumbest... Oh, the same thing, yes. You know what I mean? Well, that's what we said.
Allegedly. That's the dumbest shit on the planet! Oh, it's so great. I mean, give me a fucking break.
Thank you, Coop, for bringing this to our channel. Didn't find anything about the owner of Fable Cigars. Obviously, he's a family man who loves his kids and his wife. Oh, he's into the push-ups, too.
But, yeah. He's doing his push-ups. He's doing his pushups. Commitment for the veterans.
I want to see this guy do 22 pushups for 22 fucking days. Probably can't, 'cause he's hanging out in his mother's basement. Oh, wait, the video camera went off. Oh, good.
I wonder where that went off. Probably, you know... It says it's busy. How can it be busy?
Super busy. The camera's super busy. The camera is super busy. All right, but we're at 22 minutes.
We'll take a break here and figure out what happened to the camera. You guys can kind of let that story resonate, and then we'll... Yeah, we'll be right back. All right.

Okay, we're back. Yay. I'm not exactly sure where the camera went off. Looking forward to this YouTube.
There'll be some curtains. The lovely red curtains towards the end of the first segment. I can't imagine why we don't have so many subscribers on YouTube. Can't imagine.
Our podcast numbers are back up again. Yes. But the video just doesn't. I don't know.
I think I might know the problem. I just don't know. All right. What if we bought like a badass camera?
I don't know, like a dope one that, you know, just played all the way through. Well, all the cameras in this style, even if you've got a more expensive one, only do 30 minutes at a shot. So let's get the real deal. I don't, I'd have to learn how to use, I don't know what the real deal is.
What do you want, like a video camera that like Channel 6 uses or something? No, man, like, you know, it's like this big and it's got like a boomstick and shit. A boomstick? Now we need a sound guy, come in with a boom.
I think, you know, better picture quality, let's just do it, and then we can skip the iPad. Oh, well, yeah, just hold off on the iPad now anyway. I mean, you haven't bought it yet anyway. I haven't.
Yeah, no, hold off on that for now. Sean is holding me ransom until I give him the numbers. So, yeah, tell him now, go, you know what, I don't want it, you're not getting the numbers. I'm still obligated to give him the numbers, just within my time frame, not in his.
It's your, yeah, whenever you feel like it now. All right. Florida sets a one-day record, Mike, with over 15,000 new COVID cases, more than most countries. We're number one.
We're number one. Florida reported a record increase in more than 15,000 new cases in a 24-hour period on Sunday. I told you, I was worried about Florida not being in the news, you know. Oh, we're in the news quite a bit here.
Yeah, now we're taking over. Yeah, as the Trump administration renewed its push for schools to reopen, and anti-mask protests were planned in Michigan and Missouri. In Florida, we're a country, it would rank fourth in the world for the most new cases in a day behind the United States, Brazil, and India. We almost have more cases in the entire rest of the country.
Love it. Here we are. According to a region, Florida's daily increase in cases have already surpassed the highest daily tally reported by any European country. Fuck, you guys don't let us come visit Europe.
We don't need to. Yeah. Ha. Ha ha.
During the height of the pandemic, there it was also broke New York state's record. Ha ha. Fuck you, New York. Yeah, that's right.
Little 12,000 cases. Ha! S. outbreak.
Oh, see, New York used to be epicenter. I read today, Miami is now the new epicenter. Oh. It'd be Wuhan.
Florida reported a record amount of testing with nearly 143,000 test results announced on Sunday. See, that's why the numbers are up. We tested a lot of people. That was your theory.
Stop testing, people will stop having it. Zero tests. Zero positive cases. It's perfect.
Then there will be no more increases. You know, so, I mean, I will say a couple of things here. Yes, please. Before we, before we jump.
Before we move on. Okay, so, look, it just kind of amazes me, I, you know, toting this line and how obnoxious both sides are. Right. Right.
I'm not going to fucking stay at home. I'm not going to shelter in place. Um, it's, you can't do it for the economy, right? Right.
Okay. So we've already concluded that that doesn't work. You know, just the overall impact that it has is tremendous. Now, with that being said, I'm going to go out, but I'm going to wear a mask, and I'm going to sanitize my fucking hands, and I'm going to take care of myself and try and do what I think, in my opinion, is the best approach moving forward.
What's amazing is that, like, you know, I was driving, we were driving home from our trip, I mean, we wore a mask everywhere in the hotel, we sanitized everywhere, we stayed away from everybody, like, we did everything that we probably could, and we still lived our life, right? Did you, yeah, how did you do meals? Did you eat meals at the restaurant? Did you guys bring stuff?
We ate meals at restaurants, of course. However, we wore masks until we sat down, and then we were properly, you know, properly away from everybody, right? Right? We did go into one restaurant with our masks on, we weren't comfortable with how they were handling the situation.
Oh, really? So we fucking left. We're not staying. Like, you know.
Where was that, just out of curiosity? I don't want to put the name on blast, but it was like a pizza joint. Okay. You know?
And you could just tell that, you know, they were wearing the masks, but they didn't really care where you sat. And like, I'm like, I didn't feel sanitary. Yeah, I understand. Like, go the extra mile, you know?
Right. And it didn't feel right. And we said, you know what? We're fucking out of here.
We went to another place. We went last week. We went last week, I don't know where he is, but we went to a roadhouse, and not only, there was no one, okay, so they're just doing sides, so there was nobody on this side of the room we were in. Right.
We're in a booth, but, you know, they back up there, the booth backs up. They put a three and a half foot plexiglass wall at the top of each booth in the back. Right, separate the circulation. And then they framed it real nice to match the booth, and it had been stained, and the corners were mitered corners, I mean, they went to a lot of trouble.
They put in the extra. Yeah. To make you feel comfortable. " So I'm a good foot and a half even from the server at that point.
I thought that was nice too, yeah. And the server's wearing a mask. Masks and gloves, everybody. Right, to keep away, you know, because you can't stay six feet and you have to wear the mask, right?
Right. Okay, all of that makes sense. Right. Like, you know, so on the way back, stopped off at Starbucks, right?
And everybody's in the drive-thru. The drive-thru line's fucking around the building. And I'm like, well, I'm masked up. I'm going in.
I'm going to walk in. There was nobody in there because nobody wants to wear the fucking mask. Nobody wants to wear the mask. Give me a break.
I don't mind it anymore. So, yeah. So I walk in, wear my mask, get my stuff, get the hell out. Somebody walks up.
They don't have a mask. They can't get in. They're like, oh. I'm like, where have you been?
You see that this is obviously an issue. Right. It's not that hard. And don't give me the fucking, well, I have a breathing issue.
If you have a breathing issue, then you should probably stay the fuck home because you're really going to have a breathing issue if you have the fucking coronavirus. Right. Holy shit. Oh, you saw that post that Skip put up?
No. " And then he does. And then he died. You know, that kind of takes me back to one thing that I've said always prior to this whole situation.
My loved ones have been given instructions that when I die, delete all of my social media accounts. Where are we going to say goodbye? That's it, you can't get, that's it? I guess we can't say goodbye to you on Facebook?
No, I'm taking it with me, that's it, it's gone, permanently, shut it all down. I'm going to be able to post every year on our anniversary, this would have been show 482, Michael, I miss being on this show. You know, what's kind of weird too is like, you know, I, for the longest time, and I've kind of been weeding off of it the past, I would say month or so. I always like to look and see whose birthday it is and write happy birthday and stuff like that.
You've always seen me do that. But now every once in a while I'll write happy birthday and then someone's like, he's dead. He's been dead for six months. I'm like, okay, well, it's still his birthday.
It's still his birthday. Maybe you should just delete his account then. Or at least make it where you can't post on it. Yeah, something.
And people like to still go look maybe at the photos or something. Not my stuff. It's going to get deleted. All right, Michael, we're going to move on here.
Roma Craft Tobac is adding Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion 1794, Tard and Feathered. Woo! This winter, Roma Craft Tobac's signature 5x56 will be coming to the Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion. This winter.
Oh, with the witchcraft, with the snake and the thing. 1794 line, Skip Martin, co-founder of Roma Craft Tobac, shared a picture of an upcoming addition to the line. The Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion 1794, Tard and Feathered. It's a box press 5x56, Robusto Gordo size.
There's already a round five of fifty-six for this known as the Bradford. Barton told Halfway that it would be released in the fourth quarter, likely in October, and it would be priced at nine dollars and thirty-five cents per cigar. Maybe we could try that one before everybody else, maybe. I don't think so.
Probably not. Probably not. Nicaragua's really having issues with this coronavirus. It's bad.
Oh, is it? I haven't even looked lately. It's bad. But he said the company will make approximately 500 boxes of tart and feathered annually.
Tamperance Whiskey Rebellion uses an Ecuadoran Nobeno Lajero wrapper over an Indonesian Bisuki binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic in Nicaragua. The line was introduced in 2016, is that not how you pronounce it? B-E-S-U-K-I. Bisuki.
Bisuki. Bisuki. Bisuki. Bisuki.
Funti Funti Funti Funti. What was that from? I can never forget. Funti Funti Funti.
Oh, it's Jake. Jake, with the, the, the, the, the other one. Still makes me laugh. Um, uh oh.
The name refers to a protest over the taxes on whiskey by the US government. Unless that guy gets a hold of it. That ain't something else. I mean, how come we didn't comment on the actual Roma Craft logo?
It definitely feels satanic. Oh, satanic. Without question. Oh, it's a cross at the top.
Yeah, definitely. Oh, it's anti-cross. And it's on my eco-vessel, so you know when I drink it. Bottoms up.
Bottoms up. Clearly. All right. Smoke that thunder.
Smoke that thunders. The first made in Zimbabwe luxury cigar, a Zimbabwean entrepreneur in Africa's top producer has launched the first local brand of hand-rolled cigars, defying the coronavirus economic odds to light up manufacturing. The Southern African nation produced more than 252 million kilograms of tobacco last year, making it the sixth largest producer in the world. Nearly all of the Golden Leaf, Virginia, used for cigarettes, and most of that is exported to China, Germany, and other national markets.
Upon returning last year to his homeland, after 15 years working in the United States, Shep Mfawanda was determined to start a business that would benefit Zimbabwe. Well, clearly, I mean, you know, Zimbabwe is not doing an accent from Africa. I feel like it would be very racist and that would be terrible if I'm not doing that. But, you know, Zimbabwe is obviously, you know, has to have some affiliation with child trafficking, obviously, Because, you know, child trafficking is everywhere in the world, so obviously, you know, this guy is clearly, he's the devil.
Right. Let's see, he said, "It was like building a house from scratch," he recalled, though I had settled on hand-rolled cigars, it was still equipment needed. One of the first setbacks was the brittle nature of Zimbabwe's tobacco, which forced Mafawanda to import special wrappers. " Let's see, he deliberately recruited an all-female rolling team to empower women and provide them with incomes.
Zimbabwe's economy has been crippled a year by mismanagement and corruption under the late President Robert Mugumbe, that forced, I feel I didn't say M-U-G-A-B-E, Mugumbe, Mugum, Mugumbe, to leave the country. Galloping inflation has wiped out savings and caused companies to collapse or relocate. Manufacturing is limited to more than 80% of Zimbabwe's are out of work. It was unemployment, but now he can support his family's cigar roller.
I can't pronounce any of these names. I'm not even going to try. It's just terrible. We all see a future here.
So good for them. An all-female staff making Africa's first. I'm intrigued. I would be interested in trying.
I want to try that cigar. Me too. Sounds like it's trying to do something different. Aurora makes that African cigar now, but I don't remember if it had any African tobacco in it or not.
I think it was just that the owner was reminiscing about his trip to Africa or something, if I remember correctly. Did he bless the rains while he was down there? In Africa, yes. Toto, I get it.
I get the reference. I get the reference. S. Court of Appeals strikes down warning labels.
This actually happened last week. Strike it down. But it was after we had taped the show. I know, somebody commented to you, right?
Very upset. Very angry. Premium Cigar Association, PCO, what is today's date? Today is the, they still have two more days.
And Cigar Rights of America are pleased. The unanimous panel, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, Surrey Court found flaws in the FDA's deeming rule regulating cigars and that the Food and Drug Administration did not do necessary work To show an effect for large cigar warning labels on reducing smoking. Boom. Judge Gregory J.
Katassa, Katas? Katas? I always call him Greg. He's super busy.
Notes in his opinion, the Tobacco Control Act permits the, this is long, we're not reading this, the FDA concluded that the warnings would help indicate the health risks of smoking, but have failed to consider how the warnings would likely affect the number of smokers, blah, blah, blah, blah. So they're not doing the warning labels anymore. Well, that's good, that's good, you know, it sucks because, it sucks that we had to get here. It sucks that it had to happen originally, you know, a lot of time and effort has been put in by brand owners and manufacturers to make altercations on their boxes, to fit these fucking things, they're ridiculous to have, and I, you know, I feel like the FDA should be sued, there should be some retribution for that.
Oh. Because a lot of people already went into trouble to do it. Yeah, it's like, hey, well, we didn't have to do this and you forced our hand. Forced us to do it, and now I've got all these boxes with these giant labels on them.
Right, or at least the boxes that are now designed to fit these ridiculous gentlemen. Oh, that's true, too. Some people have gone that way. All right, moving on, Espinosa.
I feel like it'd get nowhere, though. Let's be honest. Yeah. It's the government.
You can't see the government. You can't see. Well, you can, but you're not going to win. Probably not.
Then it'll tax you or something. Audits. Audits for all of them. Yeah.
Espinosa Cigars will introduce the sixth installment of the 601 La Bamba Warhead series, The Warhead Six. Makes sense. What a great name. Yes.
The 601 La Bamba Warhead series was first introduced back in 2013, and with a few exceptions has been an annual release. The Warhead series features a broadleaf Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers. Each year's release has been in different sizes, which comes to the Warhead 6, there are a number of unique characteristics. Yeah.
Like, you know what they are? One being the new number. First up, the Warhead 6 is a 5x58 figurado. Uh-huh.
Making this the thickest installment of the Warhead series to date. Uh huh. Second, the Warhead 6 is rounded. Uh huh.
Not box pressed. No, making the first time in the series it is not box pressed. Oh, look at you. Yeah.
Like the rest of the 601 line, the 601 La Bamba Warhead 6 is produced at AJ Fernandez San Lotano Factory. I was going to ask that. That was going to be my question. In Nicaragua.
A total of 1,000 10 count boxes have been produced. Pricing is set at $10 per cigar, $100 per box. They are expected to arrive in retailers this month. Are we getting those here?
Well, I mean, I haven't heard from my sales rep, so I could just, you know, he doesn't call me or anything. He doesn't call me. He sent some email. They were just here.
I figured you could have. They're not my sales reps. Well, one of them kind of has his name. I mean, Jack Toronto can kind of handle it.
" Hey, bro. Hey, I need a couple of boxes. I need a couple of boxes. That's so ridiculous.
Like, he has, because he pays people to do that. Oh. Jack was smoking a lovely, it looked like a, that smells a Connecticut. Was that new?
He's smoking that this morning? I don't know, I didn't see it. Was it a Crema, he smokes a lot of the cream? No, no, no, no.
It was a different Espinosa wrapper, just an Espinosa, Connecticut. I think it was new. " I don't mean if he was referencing him or you. I'm not sure which way I'm supposed to go with that.
Uh, well, I mean, Jack's a good guy. He is a good guy. He'd take care of you. Oh, well, maybe we might be able to try that one then.
Yeah. Who knows? But I'll reach out to Jack and I'll supersede my sales rep. The guy who wasn't here for the event.
I heard his phone doesn't work. He had some kind of miracle or something. He had a miracle? That's what you said.
It was crazy. He had to go and an alien landed in Texas or something. He had to drive there. Wow.
Aliens in Texas? Yeah. It's insane. Were they child trafficking aliens?
No, they're not Titanico Sueno. Well, you said Texas. That's just ridiculous. You said Texas.
Yeah, it wasn't Austin. Oh. Now you've crossed the line. Oh, I've crossed the line.
You said they had a satanic logo with the cross and the X on it, and then you drink it and bottoms up. What is the bottom? Because that's what she says at the end. And if you see the cross, she grabs it.
And she acts like she's drinking it. What is she, drunk Jerry Lewis or Dean Martin? She acts like she's drinking it and she says, bottles up. Bottoms up.
Her kids, her poor kids, they've got to be fucking... They probably drink bang. I really hope that they went the other direction and said, my mom's a fucking nuts. I don't know.
You know, I'm sorry. It's like you either become your parents or you rebel against them. It's just that simple. All right, we're going to skip this next story.
And move on to Florida news. Oh, more Florida news? Yes. I did elect that sales rep to be the 22 push-ups guy.
He hasn't... I'm still waiting on Matt Hunt to do it. Some of these people are really disappointed. I mean, he is a fitness guy.
How about Evan? Evan's been called out twice. Well, yeah, I'm going to get him today too. Everybody's gonna tag Evan.
I mean, this guy... Every day we should say Evan. " Oh, yeah, yeah. But I guess he's just waiting for like, you know...
You know, let's see, Drew... The sun and the moon to link at the right time. Drew did him. Jason Wompley, he's doing his.
I think that's the... I mean, I'm on day... Matul. I mean, how about Matul?
Cool. Oh, and did you see the nice one by the lake? That was very lovely. So many options.
You know, I think that it's- He's doing, like, location shoots with his and stuff. It's really funny, though, like, I- Mark Gordon, I nominated him. Yeah, he's not gonna do it. He's not gonna do it.
But, you know, it's funny, like- It's like tagging Skip. Well, Skip has a heart condition. Oh, I know he does. He's got a pacemaker.
So, but, like, you really fuck up if you're gonna comment on one of these things. Yeah. Yeah, that's how you tag him. Oh, you're gonna make fun of me?
Okay. Oh, there's you! Guess what? So, uh, we have like a family group chat, right?
With Mark Gordon? No, with my family. Yes. You know, mainly my wife's family.
And, um... Oh, what about Justin? You even tag Justin? And they were fucking, uh, Justin doesn't really text in the group, but like, uh...
No, but you could tag him on your... " Stopped. Stopped. Please don't do that.
Please don't do that. Okay. Alright, the St. Petersburg Police have launched an investigation, Michael.
There was a human head found on the side of the road. The human head was found last Tuesday morning on the side of the road. Florida, baby. The head was found in St.
Petersburg along 38th Avenue south between 31st and 34th Street. St. " It wasn't a skull. It was an actual, it was just a head.
Any info, please call us. Hey, we're looking into this. Meanwhile, I go there on vacation. No other details I've been found.
Oh, that's right. Did you see that? I didn't see any heads. Did you guys look for them?
No. Boys, $5 bonus for anybody who finds a head. Anybody who finds a head. Or a body.
$10, you find a body with no head. Justice would find the head. And he'd bring it back proudly. Look.
Look, Benny, I found my head. I got a lot more stuff here. Let's see, Dunkin' Donuts is going to close 450 stores currently by the end of 2020. It's not Dunkin' Donuts, it's Dunkin'.
Dunkin'. Oh, sorry, Dunkin'. Yeah. Dunkin' is closing hundreds of stores located by the end of 2020, a total of 450 stores.
Locations all within Speedway gas stations will be... Oh, well, they're not the freestanding Dunkins'. I don't read these things through. So they're done with the Speedway.
They're done with the gas station combos. Apparently it's not working. Nope. The announcement follows the termination of the coffee chain's original partner with Hess, which was acquired from Speedway in 2014.
According to the Duncan Statement provided to NBC News, the chain will now focus the company's efforts on its larger individual cafes that don't sell gas. Yeah, that makes sense. The closures most locally along the East Coast comes a bit, you know, these headlines suck you in to thinking it's a different story. You mean the headlines are a trick?
Yes. No shit. The closures most locally along the East Coast come amid a brand overhaul. " There's one about how China's buying all the meatpacking factories or something, but it's for 2013, they bought one.
And that was seven years ago. That was seven years ago. You'd think by now... They would have acquired some more.
Yeah, if they were really buying all, they would have gotten, it's not like they don't have the money for it. I mean, they did just buy all of Cuba's cigars or whatever. Dunk a Donuts then? Three trillion.
Whatever. Who did? No, remember, we did that story. They bought Casa...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We had several weeks of that story following along. All right, Michael. Probably should have had this story last week before your big vacation, but couples should wear face masks during sex.
A new study has come out. Oh, boy. Why? A new study from researchers at Harvard University says that hooking up, it's not just hooking up, but this is part of the two.
It's a risk for transmitting COVID from one partner to the other and recommends, among other practices, wearing a face mask while you're doing it. What about other fluids? Well, we get into that. The research published in the- I mean, didn't we conclude like a month ago that the coronavirus hangs out in the balls?
Yes, we did discuss it, too. Yeah. And the Annals of Internal Medicine ranked frisky situations based on how likely it is to catch coronavirus well in the act. Researchers recommend wearing a mask for the riskiest sexual scenarios.
Ah. Just the riskier ones. And wrapping yourself in saran wrap? Sex with people other than those of whom is quarantined.
If you have an out-of-the-house coronavirus crush, the study says, besides keeping your mask on, You should avoid kissing, any oral to anal acts, Michael. Okay. Well, you were with Chet last weekend. We all work in the same place.
That's like in the same house. Oh, okay. Anything else that involves semen or urine, shower before and after, and clean the space with alcohol wipes. Shower before and after.
And after. Excuse me. I know this moment is heating up. But I have to bathe.
The study also mentions that having sex with people who are together in this quarantine, it's safer, but there's still a risk. Please Lysol, your penis. For instance, if one partner goes outside to run an errand and exposed to the virus, they can transmit it to the other. Aha!
So when you were doing all the grocery shopping? I was out there spreading my seed. No, no, when you got home. Oh, I'm sorry.
I was spreading my seed at home. Even that person, ultimately, asymptomatic care, they can still infect the other. You should have gone through some type of decontamination. I should have, yes.
The safest approach. Okay, this is the safest approach. Sexual activity, according to the researchers, is not having sex at all. Don't have sex at all.
No sex at all. Abstinence, they say, is low risk of infection through not... Apparently. Another option, masturbation, Michael.
Other recommendations that come out since coronavirus... But that's riskier than the... No, no, that's the safest way. Well, the safest way was no sex.
Right, but if you can't go no sex, masturbate. Okay. That's what they're saying. So it's got to be a little bit riskier?
Than no sex at all. I mean, you figure maybe your hand is, you know, contaminated. Well, you would think... You would clean that.
Your hand, or you got it anyway, at that point? I don't know. Maybe it's more where… It's very trying. Very.
It's very trying times for us. Well, some of them providing graphics to enhance the lessons in April, the Oregon Health Authority released… Number one podcast on Podbean. Health Authority released a sex guide that went viral just weeks after the same happened, one released in New York City Department of Health. The Oregon examples stood out for its illustrations.
Is there any validity to this, to the COVID party thing? Have you heard about this? No. Oh, where you, one person has it?
Yeah, the kids get together and they want to do, they're tough enough to laugh. Oh, no, I didn't see that. Yeah, yeah, and some kid just died. So they purposely invite one person with it.
Yeah. So you have a huge party and everybody knows you have the COVID. Yeah. So that everybody wants to try to, so we're all licking you or letting you lick us and then see if we catch it.
I don't know. I don't know how that all plays out, but that is some dumb shit that I mean. That's some dumb shit. That's like, that's like right up there with hurricane parties.
Hurricane parties. Hurricane parties. Hurricane parties, that's okay. You can't catch the hurricane.
You could die, though. From a hurricane? Yeah. One of the odds.
I don't know. You better chance catching the coat. Oh, you're tapping, yeah. Much better chance at night.
At least you know the hurricane's coming. Exactly. Okay, now we have a press release. You're very fond of press releases.
Oh, I love press releases. Let's hear about how great someone is. Supermarket Chain Public announced in April- Public's again? Public's, yes.
They announced in April that it was- Let's see, they already did one press release that they were doing this. So they announced back in April, they would commit to purchasing produce and milk from local farmers in an effort to offset losses incurred by the agricultural workers during the coronavirus pandemic. We talked about that before. Yeah.
All right, now this is the follow-up press release. Oh, the follow-up. Publix has committed to donating the purchase. We've had great reviews on our press release.
Let's see another one. Dairy, defeating America's food banks through the Southeast to provide fresh fruits. Federally, as a food retailer, we have the unique opportunity to bridge the gap between the needs of families and farmers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, says CEO. Go, Todd Jones!
Last week, less than three months after the initiative began, which we reported three months ago, Publix is now announcing that they have more than five million pounds of produce, 350,000 gallons of milk, they have all been bought and donated to food banks. Well, that's very nice. So far, the growth chain has worked with producers, uh, produce farmers in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, with plans to expand the program to Tennessee and Virginia in the coming weeks. During these challenging times, we remain committed to working together to find the solutions that positively impact our communities in need.
We are honored to continue our support of Feeding America's members' food banks and to purchase produce and milk from farmers across Southeast, Jones said in a press release last Wednesday. Couldn't have just done it, huh? You had to announce it to the world. Well, they not only announced it, they announced they were doing it, and then, oh, we did it.
Hey, great reviews on that press release. Let's confirm that we've done it. Remember when we said we were buying all that stuff? We bought five million pounds.
Guess who did it? My wife comes to me and she goes... Meanwhile, they can't get my fucking sub right via online. Oh.
I mean, God, make that a press release. " Yeah, they're just throwing it out there. Just throwing it out to people. Here you go.
Here you go. Food everywhere. Like the Trump image, chucking the paper towels in Puerto Rico's house. Was there a thought process to what you were doing there?
I mean, come on, man. Hey, look at all this water we have out there. Where'd that go from? All right, that's all I got, Michael.
That's all you have? That's all I have. Oh! This might not mean anything else.
Guess who I ran into the other day at Target? Who? Carson. Oh, yeah?
Yeah. Nice. I walked in, you know, we're masked up and everything, my wife and I, and I did not recognize him at all. He's standing there, he's the person that is decontaminating the carts and if you don't have a mask.
He works at Target? Apparently. Oh. " Oh.
You know, I puffed up my chest and looked at my wife. Yes, I am. " Look at that. Small world.
So John's doing very well, he said. Yeah, he stopped doing a mic a week or two now. He's living his best life, working at UPS, she said, and very happy and fulfilled. It's filled and I just thought it was nice.
Yeah, it's lovely. Oh, you know what? Listener of the week. We'll make him Listener of the Week.
John Brousseau. Oh yeah? Is he a listener? Well, he used to be.
I don't know if he still does or not. We'll make him Listener of the Week. Oh, you know, last year, last week's Listener of the Week was the sort of anonymous Instagram person? Yeah?
Jason Wapley. Oh. The name on Instagram does not refer to him by his full name. I like that guy, so do I, and he's doing his push-ups, so.
It's a good egg. He is. Alright guys, that wraps up, do you have anything else, Michael? We have a cigar to smoke.
We do have a cigar to smoke, I'm very excited. I'm very excited, I am, a lot of work. We have to put those packages together for the people. The thank you packages.
Oh yeah, we do have to do that. I'll work on that tomorrow. Man, you know, so how did I do, I mean, before we let this go, I mean, because I've been battling an excruciatingly bad migraine today. I think you did, you did very well, man.
You were, you were, uh, disappointed you thought that I wouldn't be able to hang tough. Uh, no, I just gave you the option of, uh, doing a second show tomorrow. Hey, man, Kobe Bryant can take two shots with a torn Achilles. All about you, Michael, whatever it is you need, I'm always here for you.
I appreciate that. No problem. Unless it's on the weekend, then you're with Chet at the Springs. Oh, you'll be jealous?
Sucking in the sulfur. Not even close to jealous, probably. Oh, jealous. I was having a good time with my family.
Yeah, whatever, yeah, evidently, never mind, we won't, that's an off-the-air conversation, we won't discuss that at all. All right, guys, we appreciate you listening. Oh, you know how you're supposed to sing a song when you wash your hands, make sure you do it a long enough time? Yeah.
Okay, work from here, act like you're washing your hands, okay? Okay. Okay, I'm going to sing the song, all right? " And you're done!
It feels like it's kind of short. I wash my hands fast. That's kind of the pizza purpose. Well, you could do two choruses of it.
You'd have to do it twice. Oh, do it twice. And this is Scar Hustle Podcast. And you clap at the end of the soap.

m. for all new episodes. Hi, I'm doing, I'm Hoostoe-Raw. Yeah, we just don't have to do a single, uh, single podcast ever again.
