October 08, 2018 Episode 47: Fireside Chat – Special Edition
From the fire pit comes a special multi-call-in episode with our Retrohale friends; “JoJo Mo”, “Drew the Hooker”, “The Skip” and “The Mate”. The regular format is sidelined for a week while sit around the fire, smoke cigars and talk about whatever comes up, including a preview of the January trip to New Hampshire.

October 01, 2018 Episode 46: Religion and Politics – Local Spotlight: Gold Leaf Tobacconist; Seabrook, NH
We do a quick follow-up of the “JoJo Mo” and “Drew the Hooker” visit adding the Late Friday and Saturday stops bringing the lounge tally to 8 in under 48 hours. Somehow we get on a couple of religion topics before current events. Conspiracy corner gets into a couple of political topics. The Hidden Herf is one of the top cigars we have ever smoked.

September 24, 2018 Episode 45: JoJo Mo and Son – Local Spotlight: Plaistow Cigar Company; Plaistow, NH
We are visited by “JoJo Mo” and “Drew the Hooker” for a few days and have them with us in person. Joe and Drew came up to New Hampshire from the New Jersey / Pennsylvania area to attend a cigar event and go on a lounge tour. With special guests on hand and recording back at home-base we have a full house of ten. This causes us to switch the peanut gallery in two shifts to get everyone on. We do a recap of the Federal Cigar Anniversary Cruise that was an Ashton and Makers Mark event. The Podcast Juice is flowing and we have lots of laughs. The Hidden Herf is a special cigar selected by Joe just for us, no one is even close with the guessing. All we had to do was mention the “whoop button”. Joe and Drew give us a report on their lounge tour.

September 17, 2018 Episode 44: Dead in the Water with Skippy & The Mate – Local Spotlight: Stanza Dei Sigari; Boston, MA
Looking to extend the summer we get out on the lake but then run into problems forcing us to head back to the dock and record on dry land. Skippy and the Mate of The Retrohale join us from Colorado for the full experience with a Hidden Herf as they go end-to-end on this episode. We recap both the Two Guys and Twins Smoke Shops’ anniversary events. The list of current events is so long that Skippy is packing a bag to come and experience it. The Federal Cigar anniversary party is previewed, we will have a group there. The side topics are, as usual, all over the place and a bit zany. Comedy Chris nails the Hidden Herf’s brand out of the gate and earns another partial credit.
