A Cigar Hustlers Podcast

This week the boys spark up the HVC La Rosa 250 10th Anniversary and give it a proper review while boldly declaring what we all secretly know: the steroid era was the greatest era in baseball. Bonds, Sosa, McGwire—juiced dingers for days.

In Patrol Gone Wild, we cover a Pokémon card thief who tried to catch ’em all (but caught charges instead, a suspect who thought he could tough through pepper spray (spoiler: he couldn’t), and Florida’s newest redneck Olympics—where folks run obstacle courses to dodge cops like it’s American Ninja Fugitive.

Caleb’s got the news you didn’t know you needed: fresh drops from Surrogates and Hooten Young, plus a new expression from Chattanooga Distillery to help you wash down your questionable life choices.

This week, we cover TikTok’s new U.S. app rollout, Elon Musk’s surprise launch of a third political party, and the OneTaste founders’ shocking forced labor convictions. We also break down the Diddy trial verdict and big changes in the cigar world — from new leadership at PDR and Maya Selva to fresh releases like Hooten Young’s Midnight Hammer. Plus, “What’s the Score!” returns with reviews of the Tatuaje Especiales and Island Jim Barber Pole #Two. Don’t miss it!

This week on Down to Herf, the boys kick back with Gus and Billy from Artesano Del Tobacco, light up the brand-new Viva La Vida Connecticut, and get the inside scoop on how they bring fresh heat to the lineup.

In Patrol Gone Wild, the Liver King finds himself in hot water (again), a pervert proves you can’t teach an old creep new tricks, and a Texas suspect’s brilliant escape plan ends with him body-slamming an ice rink.

Caleb’s news has the latest drops — fresh cigars from Crowned Heads and AJ Fernandez, plus a new pour from Blue Note to wet your whistle.

 Episode Description:
In Episode 391, things get political, combustible, and a little smoky. Mikey and Palmer unpack the explosive immigration raids in LA as Trump calls in the National Guard, sparking riots and a war of words with Gov. Newsom. Meanwhile, the Trump-Musk feud escalates—tech vs. politics in real time. Plus, the TSA reminds us your Costco card won’t get you on a plane (even if you love hot dogs).

In cigar news: tariffs hit hard, imports dip, and Max Bichler exits Rocky Patel. New releases from Kristoff, Micallef, and Dunbarton make waves. And don’t miss another fiery round of "What’s the Score?" where Mike and Palmer go head-to-head with a Saka powerhouse and a Ditka disappointment.

Also—tour dates announced! From Pennsylvania crawls to Florida pairings and a special July 5th Hustler Experience with Skip Martin, we’ve got events you won’t want to miss.

🔥 Cigars. 🔥 News. 🔥 Chaos.
