Cigar Hacks

Jim “The Price is Right” joins us for a special Forged Cigar episode. We learn about the Forged lines from General Cigar. The Hidden Herf is a great new cigar that all the panel enjoys. “The Duster” coat is explained and we get an AMA (ask-me-anyhing) challenge from Matty the Magnificent on the flat earth topic.

It’s our first visit to Radloff’s since we got snowed out at Hackapalooza. Boom Boom and Kimmy just happen to be there too, there must be a psychic connection. We get caught up with Jamie on the shop, outdoor seating, and the cigar business. Jamie sets us up with a Hidden Herf from the vault that we come so close to accidentally guessing. There’s a contender for the new Podcast Juice that everyone seems to enjoy.

With what could be our last episode from The Domicile we are joined by The Brooklyn Chick and The Blue Ash. We have official Podcast Juice which has also been canceled.

Featuring the Rabbi Cut Above during the holiday season, we bid farewell to a brand that is close to the Hacks in multiple ways. The Hidden Herf is an honorary smoke that we all know well.

Everyone gets into the guessing game as we randomly plow through brand names to pin down the Hidden Herf. The future of Podcast Juice, golf tournaments, and more in the news section. We tweak The Hidden Herf Reveal once again. A recap of last week’s Hamlet event segues into a Jury Duty discussion.

Controversy Corner – 600 years and still going strong.

Hamlet of Rocky Patel Cigars is back in town, we meet up at The Tobacco Shack for a rolling demonstration event. Afterwards he joins us for this week’s episode. The event was a great success and the Hidden Herf was a winner too. Lots of news items and a couple of e-mail letters landed in the mailbag. In honor of Hamlet we dedicate this episode to the people of his heritage – be free!
