A Broker Gets Fired Live On Air — Cigar Hustlers Podcast 600

Mike defends the daily format, leading to a debate over listening habits, priorities, birthdays, popcorn, ice cream and who actually watches the show. 21:50 – The Davidoff Debate A listener asks Mike about Davidoff. Mike explains that he doesn’t hate the company but strongly disagrees with manufacturers selling exclusive cigars through their own stores after retailers helped build the brand. 24:00 – Retail Exclusives & Camacho Prediction The conversation expands into retailer exclusives versus manufacturer-direct exclusives, followed by Mike’s prediction that Camacho could see a significant sales surge. 26:20 – Should ACHP Do a Live Show?

Jack quickly decides the story has gone on far too long and tries to kill it. 38:30 – Jack vs. the Teleprompter The cookie story turns into an argument over skipping stories, controlling the teleprompter and Jack discovering that he apparently doesn’t have to read everything Mike gives him. 40:00 – Guy Fieri, Knuckle Sandwich & Daytona The guys briefly talk Guy Fieri, Knuckle Sandwich cigars and whether Guy has ever been close enough to Deltona to get him onto the show. 41:50 – Robert Gilman Released From Russia Marine veteran Robert Gilman is released after 1,666 days in Russian custody following a humanitarian pardon from Vladimir Putin. The crew discusses the allegations against him, additional prison charges and concerns over his deteriorating health. 45:00 – The Robert Gilman Video / Transition Mike finds video related to Gilman’s arrest, the crew tries to figure out how to get it onto the show, and they begin transitioning toward cigar news. Episode 594 goes off the rails fast as Jack Torano takes the host chair and the crew tackles bird strikes, a bizarre KFC/Oreo mashup, Robert Gilman’s release from Russia, and the viral “gravity disappears” hoax that pulled in millions of views.

ACHP Need One More Man For A Thailand Wedding?
According to the agency, the business owners used multiple space heaters to keep the animals warm. An electrical breaker later tripped, cutting power to the heaters and causing the sloths to die. A second shipment arrived from Peru in February 2025. FWC said two sloths arrived dead from disease. The remaining eight animals were already sick and later died, bringing the total number of deaths to 31. The agency said it first learned about the business in December 2024 after receiving a general inquiry from the mother of a man who had seen an advertisement saying Sloth World was hiring. She wanted to know whether the business was legitimate. “As far as FWC is concerned, our first reach-out about Sloth World was just inquiring to see if it was a business,” an agency official said. “They did not yet have any animals, nor was the business open.” FWC said it did not receive its first tip prompting an inspection until July 2025, months after the sloths had died. A veteran captive wildlife investigator then conducted multiple inspections over the following months. Agency officials said the animals present during those inspections appeared healthy, had adequate food and water and were being kept in enclosures that met state requirements. Investigators documented one minor issue involving a quarantine cage. “During their inspections, they didn’t see anything with the care and maintenance, with the food, water, nutrition or cage sizes,” Maj. John Wilke said. The agency also stressed that its investigators are not veterinarians and are not responsible for diagnosing diseases. FWC officials said the lead investigator assigned to the case has more than 30 years of experience, including nearly three decades working with captive wildlife. “If he saw any kinds of neglect or abuse, he would have addressed it right there,” Wilke added. FWC leadership said it fully supports the way its Orlando staff handled the investigation. Although no criminal charges were filed, the agency said it has changed its policies in an effort to prevent a similar incident. Sloths were previously brought into Florida under a blanket import permit that only required the state to be notified after the animals arrived. Under the new policy, importers must provide advance notice. That will allow investigators to inspect facilities before sloths are brought into the state. FWC said it can strengthen oversight once exotic animals enter Florida, but it does not have the authority to stop sloth imports altogether. Officials said much of that authority rests with federal agencies. Florida serves as an entry point for a significant number of exotic animals imported into the United States, and officials said there is no indication that will stop anytime soon. FWC also acknowledged that sloths present unique challenges. The animals can hide signs of illness and are highly vulnerable to stress during capture and transportation. The agency said it is now working with accredited zoos and wildlife experts to provide investigators with additional training specific to sloth health, behavior and care. Meanwhile, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the deaths. Its report is expected in early August.
