Eric's back after a rough stretch with Flu B — the garage is at full strength and the cigars are lit. Tonight the crew is smoking the Intemperance Volstead, Placencia Alma Fuerte, Gran Habano Black Dalia, Padre Eligido, and the Gris Gris Lonsdale, and the conversation wastes no time getting into what everyone's been buying while the Cigar Page deals were stacked.The episode hits a stretch that'll get any cigar guy thinking: if a premium stick had minor foot damage and was selling at a steep discount, would you pull the trigger? The crew debates scratch-and-dent cigars, what CI used to do with their damage barrels, and how that logic changes when the cigar in question is an Opus X BBMF.From there the guys cover Cuba's ongoing blackouts and what a potential U.S.-Cuba deal might actually do to cigar prices - probably not what you're hoping for - along with an update on the community box pass, a first look at the Gris Gris Lonsdale tubes that surprised even the guys at LACC, and Steve Saka's Muestra de Saka Chubby Unicorn, a 5×60 perfecto from Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust set to debut at PCA.The Discord and YouTube communities also get their due - the fan interaction has gotten to the point where keeping up is a genuine problem, and the guys wouldn't have it any other way. Cinco de Mayo fan appreciation night and exclusive merch are right around the corner.👉 If you enjoy this video, please like, comment, and subscribe for more cigar talk every week.🔗 Connect With Us:🌐 Website: https://stogiereview.com/📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StogieReview/📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stogiereview/💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/8h5tuYaqJV☕ Support us on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/stogiereview👕 Check out our NEW MERCH: https://www.stickermule.com/stogiereview📧 Email: [email protected]:0:00 Welcome Back & Eric's Flu B Story3:27 What Is Everyone Smoking Tonight6:07 Recent Buys & Cigar Page Deal Stacking13:33 Discord-Only Deals & the LACC Collective Pack15:25 Local Shop Talk — Frank Smith, EPS & Cigar Hunting19:19 Cigar Etiquette — Handling, Cello & Shop Psychology23:17 Nat Sherman, White Gloves & Old School Shops30:00 Scratch & Dent Cigars — Would You Buy a Damaged Opus33:02 CI Stores vs. Brick & Mortars40:00 Box Pass Update — Progress, Rules & Sam's Idea49:47 Cuba Blackouts & What They Mean for Cigar Prices52:42 PCA Preview — Chubby Unicorn & Community Cards56:49 RIP Chuck Norris & Movie Talk59:17 F1, Isle of Man TT & NASCAR Safety1:09:23 Knuckle Sandwich 58 from the Box Pass1:12:46 Discord & YouTube Community Growth1:22:53 Social Media Fans of the Week1:28:06 Crown Heads Vow — Hella Hands vs. New Dawn1:30:12 Cinco de Mayo Fan Appreciation & Merch Teaser1:33:04 Eddie on the Streets & In-the-Wild Stories1:38:40 Wrapping Up — Baseball Season Starts Tomorrow
