Welcome back to the Hot Ashes Podcast!

In this episode, Lee, TK, and the crew welcome back a returning guest fresh from a 7‑month contractor stint in the Middle East. We fire up some premium sticks, pour some top‑shelf bourbon, and dive into stories that range from hilarious to hair‑raising.

In this episode:

Deep dive into cigars: Perdomo Legacy, Herrera Estelí, Leather Rose, Rocky Patel 60, Cuban classics, and more
Pairing cigars with bourbon, beer, coffee, and chai (including “poor man’s Pappy”)
Wild flight stories: drunk passengers, Dubai airport drama, and life in an ABC state
Life as a civilian contractor in the Middle East: deployment getting extended when conflict kicks off, mail stopping, and trying to keep morale up with cigars and memes
The guest’s first‑ever concert: George Strait at Clemson (Death Valley) with Cody Johnson and Wyatt Flores — tailgating, 90,000+ fans, LED wristbands, and a truly patriotic show
Tech & gear talk: 3D printers, laser engravers, Apple vs PC, gaming rigs, and more random shop talk
If you’re into cigars, bourbon, country music, veteran stories, and unapologetic bar‑stool conversations, this one’s for you.
