Two new faces pull up a chair, some seriously good cigars make the rounds, and we spend way too much time talking about where to buy cigars without emptying your wallet. Episode 36 of the Smoke and Steel cigar podcast - coming at you from the garage in Gilbertsville, PA.

This week we welcome Bruce "the Padre", a familiar name from our social media community, and Sergeant Major Mike, back for his second appearance. We hear how both of them got into cigars (including a first smoke that most guys would never recover from), go around the table on what everyone is smoking and buying lately, and dig into some honest talk about online cigar retailers, cigar of the month clubs, and how to get the most out of your humidor without spending a fortune.

We also give a full update on the Smoke and Steel Box Pass, talk about an upcoming Fuente event at the local lounge, and somehow end up on hockey, Costco Nike Dunks, Four Loko, and Beverly Hillbillies. You know how it goes.

In this episode:

– Bruce and Mike share how they got started in cigars

– The full table smoking lineup for the night

– What everyone has been buying lately - boxes, samplers, and monthly clubs

– Honest talk about Cigar Page, Small Batch Cigar, and getting deals online

– Box Pass update - where it is now and how to get on the list

– Upcoming events and what we are planning for a fan appreciation night
