Chris sits down with pocket knife maker, Daniel Keown of Keown Fine Folders. Daniel smokes his first cigar, a Montecristo half Corona, while Chris lights up an AJ Fernandez Nicaraguan Series Rothschild. Spirits, coffee, cigars, knife making, comedy and psychadelics are on the docket for episode 22.

Chris lights up the Aladino Corojo, which is billed as a cigar that embodies the classic, old-school Cuban style experience. Grown in the Jamastran Valley of Honduras, this cigar is comprised of 100% Honduran grown Corojo tobacco.

Dan Eastland of Dogwood Custom Knives sits down with Chris for Episode 21. A smokeless show due to inclement weather, but it's not light on topcis. Knife making, military, Haiti, rugby, trips to the Amazon, and the combination of manhood and fatherhood are all on deck!

Chris lights up a Fratello Arelquin Connecticut with a cup of coffee. He talks about Fratello Cigars, the blend of the CT in particular, and takes a few minutes to go in depth about the issues behind tunneling and canoeing.

In this episode of Sunday Afternoon Smokes, Chris Strother sits down with Brian Davis and Eric Cooperman of the Hill Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Furman University.

Over cigars and bourbon, the conversation explores the mindset behind building new ideas, launching startups, and developing entrepreneurial thinking inside organizations.

Brian and Eric share how the Hill Institute helps founders turn early ideas into real companies, why most startup ideas change dramatically before reaching the market, and the importance of community and mentorship for entrepreneurs.

Eric also shares insights from his career as a Michelin-trained chef and advanced sommelier, along with the story behind his tech startup Bottle Titan, which tracks wine and spirits through the supply chain.

The conversation touches on everything from startup failures and innovation to the unexpected lessons learned from woodworking, hospitality, and even burning 500 Christmas trees in a field.

Light a cigar and settle in for a wide-ranging conversation about entrepreneurship, creativity, leadership, and the mindset required to build something from nothing.

Chris lights up a Pencil Maduro from United Cigar and gives you the breakdown. A great cigar featuring a 3 coutry blend, this deceptively colored maduro is sure to delight those who enjoy fuller flavor profies.
