DogWatch Cigar Radio Episode #372 March 30,2012

This week DogWatch celebrates April Fool's Day when Dale and regular guest host Craig Schneider smoke an unbanded Cigar of the Week supplied by Bob. Bob receives his April Fool's surprise when he smokes the What's my band? cigar suggested by long-time listener Dan Crouch. Liz is back with another What's hot? What's not? What's next? segment with Bryan Newbury from Centro Cigars. The Cigar of the Week is the Wicked Indie from The East India Trading Company line of The Gurkha Cigar Group. The What's my Band? cigar is the Flor de Copan (factory seconds - bundle) suggested by Dan Crouch. The winner of this month's Palio cutter is David Dennis. Wes Thorne wins a box of Commonwealth Cedar Spills and David Zack wins a five-pack of of La Tradicion Cubana cigars during the live show chatroom. Chad Miller writes in with a question about coffee and cigars and Dana Poling asks about citrus and orange cigar flavors.

Bob and Dale discuss their plans for a DogWatch Cigar Radio Herf which will be held on July 27th and July 28th at Tranquilo Cigars in Melbourne Florida. Tickets are $35 and only 25 spots are available for this intimate gathering. (Spots are going fast!) Friday night will feature a live version of DWCR with everyone in the crowd experiencing the Cigar of the Week and the Unbanded cigar.
