The Ash Holes

This week we welcome Erik Wentworth from Hammer + Sickle cigars for his first visit, first visit in 2020 that is. One of our most frequent guests, because he’s an ashhole just like us. We fire up a cigar that was a collaboration project between United Cigars and Hammer + Sickle. The two began secret talks back in 2018, but they came to an abrupt halt when Eric Hanson, president of Hammer + Sickle Cigars passed away. Early in 2019 Executive Vice President Erik Wentworth reignited the secret meetings with United's Oliver Nivaud as the two finished the project. We will fire up this cigar and share our thoughts live on The AshHoles!

We will also have The Victor Sinclair 55 Top 5 List and all the madness you come to expect from The Ash Holes as we broadcast live on location from Studio 21 Podcast Cafe high above Two Guys Smoke Shop in Salem, New Hampshire on the United Podcast Network.

We bring 2019 to a close with the most expensive cigar we have ever smoked on the show, the Davidoff Royal Release. Measuring at 5.5 x 55 the cigar is said to be crafted by either of Davidoff’s most experienced Master Rollers. It features a proprietary wrapper called Aromatica, Ecuador Habano binder and a five-varietal blend of Dominican tobacco aged eight years. We will let you know if this $80 cigar is worth the cost of admission.

Every AshHole in Cigarville loved Christmas a lot. But The Grinch who lived just outside of Cigarville did not. It could be, perhaps because his lighter was empty or it could be he just didn’t smoke the right cigar.

Today on The AshHoles, we attempt to grow the Grinch’s heart with a Julius Caesar 1895. Will this be the magical cigar, or does it deserve to be tossed on the Yule log.  It’s Christmas Eve on the Ashholes and we fire up the Diamond Crown Lounge Exclusive that measures 5 x 52.

Stanford Newman wanted to create a hearty complement to the wildly successful Diamond Crown line. To accomplish this, he enlisted the help of two legendary cigar families, the Fuentes and Olivas. After years of collaboration, for the company’s 110th anniversary, J.C. Newman launched a full-flavored, bold cigar that could only be created by these three cigar masterminds, the Diamond Crown MAXIMUS.

The cigar made at the Fuente factory in the Dominican Republic features Ecuadorian El Bajo Sungrown wrapper and today we review the No. 4 which is part of the Diamond Crown Royal Sampler as well as boxes of 20.

Tobacco hasn't grown in Florida since 1890 when Jeff Borysiewicz decided to change that in 2013 when he planted tobacco on 8 acres of farmland in Clermont, Florida. Today his tobacco is used in cigars by some top cigar manufacturers including Drew Estate who produced the Florida Sun Grown featuring tobacco grown in the Sunshine state. The cigar was blended by Willy Herrera and we tell if a cigar containing Florida Sun Grown tobacco is worthy of The AshHoles.
