A friend of Tony has launched a new PRINT magazine called "STANK!" which is a crazed fever dream and a throw back to the era of MAD magazine, except if they had no limits and didn't give a fuck -- in the best way possible. Tim Phares and his crew make the 4-Shots! boys look down right normie by comparison. Should get wild.

With the new year crashing in all around us, Tony and Jeremy look to a guest who has created their own very successful podcast in the cigar industry. Erica Arroyo is the host of the show The Lounge Experience, which has been running and growing since 2019, but beyond that alone, her experiences within the industry as a woman of color gives her a unique perspective on its gaps and shortcomings when it comes to the importance of diversity. The boys are looking to hold the door open, as well as, to learn how to be better and more aware.

Tony is back from his trip to Miami, so it's time for he and Jeremy and Brandon to settle down and get ready to celebrate Christmas with their families...but before they do, its time to play not-so-secret-Santa and, of course, DO SHOTS! Also, there may be some Christmas Caroling.

While Tony is away on an emergency trip to Florida, doing some business for La Barba and Lost&Found Cigars, Jeremy has the owner of W.R. Roth on to talk about his line of branded merchandise that covers the world of leather goods, cigars, alcohol and a bunch of other cool stuff. Producer Brandon steps in to help host the show and surely will be very drunk by the end.

Tony and Jeremy have the true legend of the cigar industry, Willy Herrera, on the show to talk about his journey in life and how it led him to where he is. What choices and events led him to where he is today, what challenges has he faced and what's the vision for the future? Also -- there will be shots!

The boys have a BIG party when the 4 man crew behind the cigar review and news website "Developing Palates" (http://www.developingpalates.com/) comes on the show, all at the same time. That's 6 times the shots! It takes a lot to wrangle any group, but Tony and Jeremy want to know how these 4 guys were able to come together behind leader Aaron Loomis to make one of the best places on the internet for the cigar community.

Tony and Jeremy decide to step beyond their more familiar real of the cigar industry to have on international DJ Ryan Vandal to talk about the parallels within their two worlds. Lots of travel. Lots of late nights. How do you survive being the life of the party, when the party is every night? @DJryanvandal www.djryanvandal.com

Tony: @Bellatto @LaBarbaCigars

Jeremy: @TheCaliforniaHillbilly

Brandon: @The_Mongrel

Tony and Jeremy have the owner of Room 101, Matt Booth, on the show for some shots and to talk about the artistic process and how running a business effects and is effected by that. How do you keep it all going and stay true to yourself along the way? The boys also get WRECKED!!!

The big day is here and no matter how you are feeling tonight, we know the thing you don't want to do is watch the news or doom-scroll the various dark corners of the social media world. So, instead come hang out with Tony & Jeremy, smoke a cigar, have some drinks and have a laugh even if the world is burning down outside...literally.
