The Cigar Authority

Our friends at Cigar Journal blessed us with a four page article where they called us the best show about nothing. Today we will try to live up to that as we do away with show notes. We had no meetings about what would be discussed and we have no idea what we will smoke. Can we really talk about nothing for two hours. Will this be an epic disaster or a load of laughs.

We will have the usual suspects such as Versus, Offer Of The Day, Asylum, Classic 3-Way and Cigar News on the number one downloaded cigar podcast in the world.

The Cigar Authority is a member of the United Podcast Network and is recorded live in front of a studio audience at Studio 21 Podcast Cafe upstairs at Two Guys Smoke Shop in Salem, NH and as always you can find many of the cigars we discuss at http://www.2GuysCigars.com/.

This week The Cigar Authority welcomes Scott Weeks of Recluse Cigars to the show. Scott Weeks describes his cigars as a mini-vacation. We will interview Scott Weeks as we smoke the Recluse Los Cabos.

At the bottom of the hour we will recap the 33rd Anniversary dinner. It was an epic (or is it epique?) night attended by 500 guests with representation by 17 brands. We gave away over 400 prizes including a Smokey & The Bandit Trans Am.

In the second hour, we light the Aganorsa Signature Selection. It’s limited to just 500 boxes per size and we will share with you if these are worthy to track down. We will also tel you why you need to run out and find the Cigar Journal magazine Nick Perdomo and his son on the cover (Hint: It’s on page 108).

There were a lot of new cigars and line extensions for national distribution at the 2018 IPCPR show in Las Vegas and we had hoped to get to them last week and discuss what Dave bought that will be coming to his stores soon. We never got to them, but it makes for another show so here we go and we will let you know what to expect in the coming weeks and months.

We will also discuss food and what Dave enjoyed while in Las Vegas and he will tell us about the new project he just started that ties into food. So much for the diet, but the show must go on or in this case the shows must go on.
