This week the boys are joined by Foundation Cigar Company’s Nick Melillo. This was a fun interview and you’re not gunna wanna miss it! We talk about Nick’s humble beginnings and learn how Nick was “supposed” to be a lawyer but instead became one of the most esteemed blenders in the industry and even earned the honorary title of “KnightCommander of The Ethiopian Star of Honor”

 

Nick also explained how the Joe Rogan shout out happened and the story isn’t quite what you think! Nick also talked about the unique experience that working with Connecticut broadleaf tobacco and how he’s been able to truly use it to his advantage and bring out the wonderful flavor profiles in his blends and the challenges of maintaining the leaf agriculturally. This all went down while we smoked the highly anticipated release, the Tabernacle Knight Commander.

 

Patrol Gone Wild is back this week with a Chipotle Brawl that ends with quite the twist, a drunken Florida man getting handsy with a manatee statue, and a Georgia car crash footage that looked straight out of the Dukes of Hazard. 

 

Caleb’s News is back again with stories about A.V.O.’s newest partnership, a federal bill proposal that actually helps the cigar industry, and Whiskey Advocate's Top 3 Whiskey’s of 2023.
