1
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: What makes a cigar the cigar of the year.

2
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 2: That is a great question, and the truth is neither

3
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: Fingers Willy nor I actually know. What we know is

4
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: we like what we like and when something really kind

5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: of gets us touches the gigglespot.

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: That's right, I said it again.

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: We bring it to you. It's Eat Drink smeke On

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: Tony Katz. That is America's favorite amateur drinker. Fingers malloy.

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: We're doing our Cigars of the Year for twenty twenty five.

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: My list, I think.

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Is a doozy.

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: It was the HVC Hotcake, the Connecticut broad Leaf, which

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: they call fresh out of the Oven, coming in at

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: number three, number two, the l Ray del Mondo Appointment,

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: a spectacular cigar under ten dollars spectac. It was almost

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: my number one, but I couldn't get away from the

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: fact that from Farry Otago, the Timeless TAA Exclusive twenty

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: twenty four is just a knockout.

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: It's it's a knockout of a cigar. Fingers Moy. I

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: absolutely love it.

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 3: And so the question is, and you kind of touched

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: on it earlier, is you know, being that you love

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: this cigar so much, how you're gonna get your hands

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 3: on more of these.

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's not the easiest cigar to find. By

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: the way, it comes in one size. It's a six

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: by fifty, which means that it is six inches long.

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: T always makes Fingers moy laugh.

29
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: And the ring gauge is the fifty the diameter of

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: the cigar, or how thick it is around tea again

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: with the laughter.

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: A sixty four ring gage will be a full one

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: inch round.

34
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: So anyway in that forty eight to fifty two, maybe

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: fifty four, but forty eight to fifty two, that's where

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: I really like to be, unless I can get my

37
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: hands on Lanceo, which is a thirty eight ring gauge,

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: so much much thinner, but you get more wrapper, and

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: the wrapper ratio to binder and filler gives you a

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: lot more flavor. I like, and Sarah's quite a bit.

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: And the answer is, I don't know, but I'm gonna

42
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: find more. This is an absolutely fantastic smoke. Now Fingers

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: has his three cigars of the year. We will be

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: getting into them and we're drinking the Woodford Reserve double Oak.

45
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: So because it's a best of show, our system is

46
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: a little bit thrown off. The double oak coming in

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: at ninety point four proof. The wood woodford is one

48
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: is a classic. It's a standard that should be in

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: your liquor cabinet. But the double oak should absolutely be

50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: in the liquor cabinet. I can't say it enough. Sixty

51
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: dollars a bottle really, depending on where you shop. It

52
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: is just a wonderful presentation of a fair amount of.

53
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: Sweet, but not overly sweet. The oak is doing its

54
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: job there. I'm going back in fingers will wag a

55
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: little choked.

56
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: Up Well, a single oak may not be able to

57
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: get that choked up feeling away, but you get that

58
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: double oaked takes that choked up feeling and just throws

59
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: in the trash.

60
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: And the heat is You're hilarious. The heat is not

61
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: is not overwhelming.

62
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: So it's this really gentle bit of spice that's in there,

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: and really you're just you're you're, you're, you're covered by

64
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: everything else and in the caramel and and those really traditional,

65
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: if you will, kind of bourbon flavors, and so the

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: double oaked is just a must for the liquor cabinet.

67
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: But one of the things that we brought up was

68
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: the story out of the Daily Mail about how Americans

69
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: are turning their back on pizza. I don't believe that's true.

70
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: I don't think that's factual. And what I'm saying is

71
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: is that if we're talking about where people are with

72
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: with with their trends, like with with their with their

73
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: eating habits, it's not that they're saying, oh, pizza, who

74
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: wants that. They're saying a pizza might be more expensive

75
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: than it used to be, and I have to make

76
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: other choices. And so there are two stories here. Fridays

77
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: TGI Fridays now only has eighty five stores.

78
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: But this has been a long time coming.

79
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: Are you gonna tell me that all of a sudden

80
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: people have grown adverse to potato skins?

81
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Impossible? That's correct.

82
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: The brand is not what it used to be, and

83
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: the excitement isn't what it used to be. And how

84
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: it started in Manhattan and the entire world that came

85
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: from that, whether we're talking about Fridays, whether we're talking

86
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: about what was Manhattan institution called Maxwell's Plumb, and then

87
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 2: Mondays came from this and Wednesday. There were all these things,

88
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: and then how it got bought and it became the

89
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: place of flair, you know, and it spawned that whole

90
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: thing with Bennegan's and all the rest brands do have

91
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: a course oftentimes, very few things.

92
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: Are forever very few things.

93
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 2: My god, people used to shop at the Pigley Wiggley.

94
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: Did you ever think that the Pigley Wiggly was gonna

95
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: go out?

96
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: Fingers?

97
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: You when when Mother's Maloy, mothers mother Maloy would take

98
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: you to the Piggy Wiggly, right.

99
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: If Cheesy's memories, it's like it was yesterday, right, yeah,

100
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: you know, by the way, did she ever take you

101
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 3: to the Pigley? We had no Piggy Wigglies in Michigan.

102
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: This is my point. This is my point.

103
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 2: Some very few brands are really like through the generation

104
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: brands like things do go.

105
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: The other thing too. When it comes to TGI Friday,

106
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: it feels like you had competitors in the same kind

107
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: of genre of restaurants like Applebee's and Chili's that offered

108
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: the same food, but TGI Friday it always felt like

109
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 3: it was a little bit more expensive. So it's like, okay,

110
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 3: what yeah, so what are we going here for? They

111
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: did have better, uh like mixed drinks at TGI Fridays.

112
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: From what I remember, you know, you could get several

113
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: drinks from TGI Fridays that had umbrellas in them.

114
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: Oh.

115
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: But having said that, people you know are making choices

116
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: and T's chained, they get stale and more expensive, and

117
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 3: you got a competitor comes up. Next thing you know,

118
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 3: you had seven eight hundred locations. Next you know, twenty

119
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: years later, you got eighty.

120
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: This goes into another story from NJ dot com, which

121
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: stands for a New Jersey. Arby's has closed a number

122
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: of stores across the country. They have thirty six hundred locations.

123
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: They've closed dozens of them. Am I to believe that

124
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: all of a sudden people don't want fast food?

125
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely not.

126
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: I think America is catching on to the fact that

127
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 3: curly fries are terrible.

128
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: Shut your filthy face, curly fries, jamocha shake.

129
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: This is why Arby's doesn't follow you. That's why they

130
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: have you blocked time to me.

131
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: They blocked you on Twitter X they did, and this

132
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: is why Arby's.

133
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, don't Arby's friend Tony. I just want you

134
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: to know that curly fries and jamocha shakes, they're perfect

135
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: and we'd love to be able to share those with

136
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: the eat, drink, smoke nation world.

137
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: So if you want to, if you want to send

138
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: them by, I'll be sure to keep a good eye

139
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: on them and enjoy them. And I won't give fingers

140
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: any because he doesn't deserve them. There's a reason you

141
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: blocked him on social media. It's because he's a bastard.

142
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: So with that, thank you Arby's, and just remember Wendy's skank.

143
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: You sound like Ralph Wigham.

144
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: My cat's breadth spills like cat food. I'm so hungry

145
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: I can eat Arby's. Remember that.

146
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, I know why they don't follow me.

147
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: Now I know why they blocked me.

148
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: We're doing Ralph Wiggham, We're doing Ralph Wigham. Try and

149
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: get that on SmartLess. It's not gonna happen.

150
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: You're Bateman of I yeah, I like both those things,

151
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: and I like Garby's.

152
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: I like Garby now, Hardy's.

153
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: Carls Junior on the West Coast is my guilty pleasure

154
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: for sure.

155
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: What is it with the whole west of the mississipp

156
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: Carls Junior East of the mississipp.

157
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: Hellman's and Best Foods. I don't know there was it

158
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: was some kind of deal made with the mafia. I mean,

159
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: there is no mafia.

160
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,080

Speaker 3: after you.

164
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: I think all of these things, some things have to

165
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 2: do with age, and some things have to do with economics.

166
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: I just don't think people are done with pizza. I

167
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,120

187
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: what were you looking at?

188
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: I was looking at sticks that I remembered. That stuck

189
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: with me a little bit. I have the same problem

190
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: with the cigars as I had with the Bourbon, where

191
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: I felt like we did a lot of you know,

192
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 3: nice cigars, a lot of that we really enjoyed. But

193
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 3: I had to revisit our list from the year because

194
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 3: there wasn't a bunch of cigars that just like made

195
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 3: me run to the to the cigar shop and say

196
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: give me three or four. It just didn't happen for

197
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: me this year. The whole year was weird. We said

198
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: that about Bourbon. Yeah, we said that about Bourbon. I

199
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: will disagree. I didn't feel that way about cigars. I

200
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: thought we smoked some freaking bangers. I thought we were

201
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: in There were things that we were able.

202
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 2: To do that were just yeah, this is I am

203
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: thrilled to see this growth in the industry. So for me, well,

204
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: I did go back through the list. There were things

205
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: that jumped out that.

206
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: I immediately remembered.

207
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: Okay, I think I finally figured out what my problem is.

208
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: Is it your attitude? It actually was my proper hygiene.

209
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: Coregate verbs I shaved us six weeks ago, look great,

210
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: thank you.

211
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

212
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: No, I finally figured out and it just hit me

213
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: right now as to why maybe cigars in Bourbon didn't

214
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: move me like they normally do and the list was

215
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 3: a little bit harder. Was because I was so distracted

216
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: this year or this past year because of the move,

217
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: because of the move getting my father down here, I

218
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: didn't smoke nearly as many cigars over the course of

219
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: the year. You know, during football season, I'd sit in

220
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 3: my garage and smoke you know, three or four on

221
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 3: a Sunday, and I didn't do any of that this year.

222
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: So maybe I was just because I was distracted, that

223
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: could be. So it was a little bit trickier for

224
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: me to come up with the list. Yes, so you're right,

225
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: we did smoke a lot of I didn't mean it

226
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 3: that we didn't smoke a lot of great cigars.

227
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: It's just nothing stuck, you know.

228
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: But I think people can appreciate that life gets in

229
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: the way, right and and and you don't get to

230
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: do things as you normally would. You didn't get to

231
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: try as many as you would to go back and

232
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: try something, yeah, and really kind of take it in.

233
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: So that does that does make sense. But these are

234
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: the ones that stuck with you. Yeah, So I'm smoking

235
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 3: my number three on the list. And quite frankly, you know,

236
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 3: Tony and I were talking about this off air. I

237
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 3: could just lump all three of these together because you know,

238
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: as far as oh, this is definitely number one on

239
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: my list, I really don't feel that way.

240
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: But I'm going to.

241
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: Put this at number three for no other reason than

242
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: I'm usually the value guy, right and this cigar the

243
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 3: Rocky Patel thirtieth Anniversary, Ah, there you go, which we

244
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,120

00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: those who were keeping track, it was the episode which

246
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: included orio Gate.

247
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: We've heard nothing from orio Gate, nothing from the Oreo people,

248
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: as opposed to the Imagine people, the movie theater people

249
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: who are fantastic and.

250
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: We love them.

251
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: We still have to do something with them. We haven't

252
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: been able to put this together yet, but I have

253
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: not forgotten. But that's another story, yeah, for another day.

Speaker 3: half inches long. See, I forget it, you get the idea.

257

00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: Ha ha, No.

260
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 3: Fifty two is the ring gauge, which means how thick

261
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: it is around.

262
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: Oh my, I'm trying so new. I need a catchphrase.

263
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: Hold on, let me try this.

264
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: Suck it to me. There it is.

265
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,880

Speaker 3: the filler is aged five years.

270
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: It's a box press. Beautiful presentation.

271
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, just gorgeous if you're watching us on YouTube

272
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 3: right now.

273
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: I just feel about those big bands, kind of like

274
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: two inch three inch bands.

275
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 3: I love looking at them. You know if I you know,

276
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: it's one of those things where such a great answer.

277
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: I love looking at them if you have.

278
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: You know, my second humotor had a nice glass lid

279
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: so I could look down and there's a beautiful band

280
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: with it's two or three inches wide. I gues, isn't

281
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: that wonderful? And then you go to smoke it and

282
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: I'm not a big fan of it.

283
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: You I if it's one band, I don't care.

284
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: The multiple band thing kind of gets me and in

285
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: mine like the Ferry Otago, the TAA exclusive for twenty

286
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: twenty four is a nice cigar of the year has

287
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 2: three bands on it.

288
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: That's the only thing I maybe don't Here's what's tricky

289
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: about that. I took Fingers Mois Senior to a cigar

290
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: lounge not too long ago. Yeah, and I cannot remember.

291
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: This was back in May, and his cigar that he

292
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: was smoking, wish I remember which one it was had

293
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: two bands on it and his eyesight is failing him,

294
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 3: so he's trying to peel the band off. Next thing,

295
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: you know, much of the cigar wrappers also been torn off,

296
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: So you know.

297
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: That happens to people who have perfect site.

298
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: Yes, So it's just one more way you could damage

299
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: your cigars. You're trying to get that second band off.

300
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: So no, I just like a small little band. That's

301
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: all I like. But this is it's a beautiful cigar.

302
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: It's a box press, it's got really great hand feel,

303
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: the notes to it. It's tobacco forward, it's got some cocoa.

304
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: It's a nice bit of a little bit of spice,

305
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: not too much. This is my splurge cigar. So depending

306
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: on where you're looking, I've seen it anywhere from fifteen dollars,

307
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: which is like, oh wow, I paid twenty two for this,

308
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: so it's like, I really really like this cigar. We

309
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: reviewed it a month ago and both of us raved

310
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: about it. It was all about, uh, the price pointing.

311
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: But it's twenty twenty six, Tony and I am trying

312
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: to turn a new leaf because we've found this with

313
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 3: you know, across the market, cigars are going up, the

314
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: prices are going up. They've gone up, you know, a

315
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 3: lot in the past year and a half. So maybe

316
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: it's time for a readjustment. So I'm trying to do that.

317
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: I think you're right, and.

318
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: I think in twenty twenty six we should say this

319
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: is the price, Yeah, this is the price at that price.

320
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: Isn't in the humid or yes? Yes? Or no?

321
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: Think I think it's a nice pick and it's interesting.

322
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: I don't have a box press on my list, and

323
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: I love a box press. I like that feel and

324
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 2: everything else. But no, don't have that on the little

325
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: Did you just ash on your computer?

326
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: Yes? Do you have a little rubberized matt to cover

327
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: the keyboard? I've got a keyboard caddy? Is that what

328
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: they call it?

329
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: No?

330
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: I just just named it. That is that good? Does

331
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: that work? Well?

332
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 3: Did you I have no ash now on my keyboard?

333
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? But ellis? Maybe? Does it? Is it weird to type? No?

334
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 3: Really, especially when I'm you know a lot of times

335
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 3: I'm just talking my assistant Kate, uh through the computer.

336
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: You have to type anything? Oh yeah, he's got an

337
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: AI assistant named Kate, and it's and it's weird. Why

338
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: is it weird? Because because you have an AI assistant

339
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: and you don't need an assistant. I look at me,

340
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: I need an assistant.

341
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: Eat, drink, smoke. It is your cigar bourbon pooty extravaganza.

342

345
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: podcast in order to get those. Just look for whatever

00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: But Fingers Molly started with his The Rocky Buttel thirtieth

349
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: was his num Number three cigar.

350
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: Fingers, Well, boy, that brings us to number two.

351
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 3: Do you think people rolled their eyes when I said

352
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 3: my splurge stick was twenty two dollars? No?

353
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: Why, I don't know. Maybe it's your influence on me.

354
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 3: You're like money, money, twenty two dollars.

355
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody does that.

356
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: I think that people think that twenty two dollars is

357
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of money to spend on a cigar.

358
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: And they're not wrong, they're absolutely not. But it's weird.

359
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 3: This is this Rocky Patel thirtieth anniversary. You'll see it

360
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 3: anywhere from fifteen to twenty two bucks. So especially if

361
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 3: you can get it for fifteen dollars, you go buy,

362
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 3: uh go buy lots of them. Yeah, So it's really enjoyable.

363
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 3: That hand feel box press. I can't believe you didn't

364
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 3: have a You didn't have a box press on your life.

365
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: You didn't have a box press on my top three list.

366
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: But I'm very happy with my top three list. Fingers

367
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 2: has Rocky Totel thirty. This is number three. What's your

368
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: number two?

369
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: Number two?

370
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: Now, this is a cigar that has been around for

371
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: a while. Tony and I know that we've had discussions

372
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: in the past. We have a cigar that's been on

373
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 3: the list for a while. Well, the rules are to

374
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: make it on our list, it has to be a

375
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 3: cigar that we reviewed in twenty twenty five, So it

376
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. It could be fifteen years old, doesn't matter, right,

377
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: it's if we reviewed it in twenty twenty five. That's

378
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: what makes it eligible to.

379
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it has nothing to do with whether it came.

380
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 3: Out that year, right, So number two on the list

381
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 3: had to have a Lanceero on the list. To me,

382
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 3: hold on, thank you, thank you, the Lafleur Dominicana Cameroon

383
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: Cabinet Lanceero. That's a nice cigar, it is, and it's

384
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: I was That's really the one I wanted to smoke

385
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 3: this week. I'll be honest with you, because I haven't

386
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 3: had a Lanceo in a little while. Hard to get

387
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: your hands on, but it was number two on my list.

388
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 3: A Cameroon wrapper, Dominican binder and filler, you get the notes.

389
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 3: It's a little spicy, a little sweet. I got some cashews,

390
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: some a little bit of chocolate. A wonderful experience, you know,

391
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 3: And you and I we talk about it all the time.

392
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 3: I for one, the first Lanceero I really really got

393
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 3: drawn to was the Aladino Cameroon LANCERA.

394
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: Oh beautiful stick.

395
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 3: And that's another one that it's the price is right,

396
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: this one twelve to thirteen dollars a stick if you

397
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 3: can find it. And you and I both when we

398
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: reviewed it, we just absolutely loved this cigar. That's number

399
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: two on my list. And quite frankly, I'm shocked that

400
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: you didn't really have a Lancero on.

401
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, just it. It didn't.

402
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: It didn't hit me that way when I was going

403
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: through it and going over it. I these are the

404
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: things that kind of moved me more in it. And

405
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: it's you know, the fact that I have things that

406
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 2: I like and styles that I like for Tola's that

407
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 2: I like. Sometimes there are other things that just move

408
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: you more, you know, for something specific and for me

409
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 2: for my top three this year, that did. But it's

410
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: a great choice of a Lanceerro. It's a cigar that's

411
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: certainly if I remember right, it's been around. But again

412
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: it's about when we smoked it, what we did in

413
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: the last year, not necessarily what is new versus what

414
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: is new to us what we tried this year. So

415
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: a nice choice was it? Was it the the tola

416
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: you just remember, man, I just love lancero so much.

417
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: Was there something maybe it's a soft spot with me

418
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 3: that it's like, okay, I when I have a Lanceero

419
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: it sticks in my head because I really enjoy them.

420
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: I don't mind.

421
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 3: I actually kind of like the hand feel of Lanceerro.

422
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: I know some people, you know, they're they think, oh,

423
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: it's too dainty, you know, if you really want to

424
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 3: get into it's a manly cigar. It's not you know,

425
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 3: sixty four ring gauge all the way. It's like, well,

426
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: now this what's great about a Lanceerro is the amount

427
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: of wrapper to binder to fill a ratio. You get

428
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 3: most of the flavor from the rapper, so there's more rapper,

429
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 3: you know, compared to the binder and fillers, you get

430
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 3: more flavor from the rapper.

431
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 1: I just really enjoyed that.

432
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: You know, it's a cameroon like a cameroon's you know,

433
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 3: So it's just it's just home run and at twelve

434
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: thirteen dollars a stick, good value.

435
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, a great choice for the number two. We'll get

436
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 2: to your number one in just a little bit, but

437
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 2: we do have some news of the week to get to.

438
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 3: I'll handle this one. Oh okay, thank you guys. We

439
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: didn't talk about it during the break right.

440
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: Because you know, they call me all across America Johnny

441
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 2: good News.

442
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: So true, that's what they call me, right there.

Speaker 2: Cable TV networks seeing viewership drop in twenty twenty five,

444
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: some buy as much as seventy eight percent.

445
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: Now it's weird is in this story.

446
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: It's from a group called chord Cutter News, and that's

447
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: where I get all of my cord cutting news.

448
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: It's a place to be for cord cutters.

449
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: I was out Saturday night with some friends and it

450
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: turns out I know a guy who does in the

451
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: weirdest thing ever a fingers with maloy impression. You have

452
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 2: become so iconic on this radio show and on the podcast,

453
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 2: people do impressions of you. They're working on their Michigan twang,

454
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 2: they're working on your I'm just an average Joe kind of.

455
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: They've got all your mannerisms. They're tea heating all across

456
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 2: the lands. I have heard te he quite a bit

457
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: over the years.

458
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I hope it's a somewhat flattering impression.

459
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: It's excellent.

460
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: Okay, honestly, it's a derbr okay, got the voice, got

461
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 2: the inflection, it's it's super niche.

462
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if it gets your girls, but my god,

463
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: it was, Yeah.

465
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 2: Uh, it's it's it's excellent, which is weird because he's

00:23:59,640 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: only thirty.

467
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: Fine, right, it's excellent. What's weird is that cord cutter's.

468
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 3: New hold a helple on a second. You were going

469
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: into a cord cutting story. How did that come up?

470
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

471
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: You said something and it made me think, oh, because

472
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: I said, it's where I get all my cord cutting news,

473
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: which is something you would say and remind me.

474
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: This guy does an impression, all right.

475
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: It says many cable TV networks, including CNN and ms now,

476
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: which used to be MSNBC. I call it miss now

477
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: saw everybody does. Saw their viewership drop in twenty twenty five,

478
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: some by as much as seventy eight percent. This is

479
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 2: a punch in the face to liberal news networks.

480
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: Like I couldn't believe they put that in the headline.

481
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Yeah it is.

482
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: Also, but I'm looking over some of these networks, the

483
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 3: one that they said, oh, up to seventy eight percent,

484
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 3: just this is Central. Have you ever heard of Justice Central?

485
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: Don't cour tvo, don't don't Well that was the People's

486
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,760

488
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: Do you some of these.

489
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, American Heroes Network, and then you see

490
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 3: the viewership, It's like, how are they affording to even

491
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 3: run a network?

492
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: Just Es Central has seventeen thousand average daily viewers, So

493
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: do I. That's what I'm saying.

494
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 3: Clearly now it's obvious you need your own network, Tony.

495
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: First of all, so true, so true.

496

00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,280

Speaker 3: Just like Bunkin' Bonuts exactly. You know, it got me

528
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 3: thinking when you were doing the whole lead up to

529
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 3: the number one cigar, I was going to make a

530
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: joke about bubblegum cigars, and I was wondering if they

531
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: still make them. You remember, back in the day they

532
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 3: made bubble gum cigars.

533
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: I sure, doll horribly right.

534
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,480

Speaker 1: yours was funny smoked horribly You win? What made you

536

Speaker 3: first week of twenty twenty six, I'm very reflective in

539
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: thinking about the past.

540
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: Is that right?

541
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: Yes, the nineteen seventies, it was a simpler time. Of course,

542
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 3: I wasn't alive back then. I'm much too young, but

543
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 3: I read a lot of magazines about it, periodicals, if

00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 2: the black, the blue, really really took cigars by storm.

569
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,240

590
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: twenty five, then yeah, we really did. I'm looking forward

591
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: to what twenty twenty six brings. You know, there are

592
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: some brands that we shied away from this year we're

593
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: gonna go back to, and I think we're gonna see

594
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: possibly some more Davidovs in in this year. Adabay has

595
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: come on huge, gonna be some plays into what they're

596
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: doing with the Adabe and the Byron and a whole

597
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: bunch of cigars, And as we've talked about our Taro

598
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: Flente flooding the zone, there may be some more of

599
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: those to try. But there's always the boutiques, there's always

600
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: the smaller players, and we're always gonna give them their

601
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: love because they're doing good work.

602
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 3: Is there a brand that we have not reviewed off

603
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 3: the top of your head that you either had people say, hey,

604
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: why aren't you reviewing this? Maybe not much a boutique cigar,

605
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: but one of the bigger players that we haven't really

606
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: even attempted a review on.

607
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: So I would argue that there are many more of

608
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 2: my fathers that we should probably get in on. There

609
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: might be some other Padrones that we should we we

610
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 2: should play with. There is I think we've done one

611
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: Crux cigar and we can check them out for sure.

612
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: So just as an example a cigar that we did

613
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, from meeting them at the

614
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: at the show and now coming back actually going to

615
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,760

00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,080

618
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: back to them.

619
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: Because I really do enjoy Cavalier cigars.

620
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 3: One brand that I've seen that I don't know if

621
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,920
