Bourbon and BS Podcast

Steve continues into part two with the topic of, "What the Hell Was I Thinking?" We dive a bit further into what decisions and points in life where we look back and think that very question. Rocky has some amazing takeaways, while we all discuss how situations and how we react frame our present and future direction. We are looking forward to this conversation to learn more from each other and all of you when it comes to good or bad pivotable points in our lives.

Sit down, pour a drink, light up and join us in the garage!

What the Hell Was I Thinking?

Steve sits down with Rocky Patel, owner of Rocky Patel Cigars, and Robb Wilson, Rocky Patel Regional Sales Manager, to light up one of the newer additions to their portfolio, LB1, along with other cigars from their line. We are sipping on an interesting scotch, Monkey Shoulder, which is a blend of three different distilleries. We talk cigars, whiskey, and a bit of history of the Rocky Patel brand and where it is going.
