Episode 218 rolls in with us lighting up the freshly released Black Works Studio Boondock and giving our honest take on whether this one lives up to the hype or gets lost in the shuffle. From there, we unpack everything coming out of our trip to PCA 2026 in New Orleans—the chaos, the conversations, and most importantly the cigars. We break down the standout releases, the brands making real noise, and the sleepers you’ll want to grab before they disappear. If you weren’t there, this is the next best thing.

Patrol Gone Wild is completely off the rails this week. We’ve got a LEGO bandit pulling off one of the weirdest crimes you’ll hear about, a drunken courtroom scene that feels more like a bad movie than real life, and a toe sucker finally getting what’s coming to him in a case that somehow keeps getting more disturbing the deeper it goes.

Caleb’s news keeps the momentum going with fresh announcements from Room 101 and Tatuaje, both bringing some heat to the market. On the whiskey side, Blue Note is stepping into the allocated game with a new drop and we let you know if it’s worth chasing or just more hype fuel.
