Graydon is back in town and we talk about what makes a premium or boutique cigar?

What happens when you forget about cigars in your humidor for 2 years? Some get better, some get worse and some just mellow out very nicely.

What would you do if you had an extra day off on a rainy day? Whatever you said unless you said smoke a cigar with a friend, you're wrong!

Well, we have a new public bathroom downtown, we smoke some cigars and we chat about last season and this seasons pics for professional football americano, aka real foot ball. the other countries play soccer. Kyle had his favorite cigar so far La Gianna Corona Maduro, the rest of us have a selection of Opus X.

We make references all the time to the dreaded experience we had with some petite corona opus xs we had a couple years back. What's with all the hype? Are high dollar limited releases worth it? You be the judge after you try a few. Listen to the end to hear our opinions.

Sadly due to tech issues I lost the last Episode with Jeff and Harold and 3 Star Jim and the Muestra De Saka The Bewhitched.

So today I'm burning a 36 dollar cigar and telling you folks how to smoke a cigar and talking about the recent government shutdown and supreme court debates. I also talk about cigar events, some cigar and drink adventures, and how to deal with cigar beetles if you ever get them and how to avoid getting them.

We have a live studio audience because of the downtown Grass Valley wine walk and enjoy a returning favorite cigar, the Placencia 149 La Vega (that means robusto.)

We talk about: crime and punishment, some family issues and money issues I (James) am having, some of our favorite past cigars and talk about future plans for our lounge relocation.

We are still looking for a forever home for our club if you know of a space we can have a wet bar and smoke in leave us a comment. We can pay rent and utilities.

We had an audience until I (James) made them hook up a mic.

We will definitely have them back as full episode guests!

We had Jason and Brad Call in from Vegas at the Smok Cigar Loung to talk about their cigar adventure abroad in Nicaragua.

We smoked a La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amore and a Diesel Hair of the Dog.

We had some echo etc from the phones but Brad sounded pretty good.

Big thank you to Julian for getting us set up!

Thank you our listeners for sticking with us as we go through these changes with tech an editing!

We talk football predictions for the superb-owl 2026, address where we were wrong and right with the preseason and draft.

We try the Tres Amigos by Kristoff and have some tech issues but recover. We are going to be back to regular recording and I, James, am taking editing lessons so we can post more regularly.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy

Today we have the wonderful Harold join Jeff and James with a very generous gift. We smoke rate and review the Rocky Patel Conviction often over $100 in all states and over 125 in CA.

THANK YOU ALL OUR LISTENERS! Here's to a great NEW YEAR!
