We are joined once again by our Friend Derek, fresh off the set of his new movie. We talk staple recipes and holiday gift giving and more

Christmas and stockings preoccupy our minds while we have a San Cristobal Revelation and a Tatuaje Verocu. We hopefully sort out our problem with the intro disappearing, and apparently there are strong feelings on credentials.

A cigar smoked on spec and an oldie but a goodie from AJ while the notion of old world crypto and making a graceful exit from a shop take center stage.

While the cigars were somewhat uninspired, (Blackened and Aganorsa Validation), the conversation was not. Lots of new releases to talk about, and more animal talk than usual.

We're joined by our first guest in a very long time, and everyone smoked the Dorado from AJ. Very little cigar content this week, but we got to know the ins and outs of motorcycle clubs and how to start one.

We both had to settle connundrums of how to interact with the world, which will not be surprising to anyone who's ever met us. Cigars are a Tatuaje 10th and a La Galera Maduro and Shane hates soccer, which will surprise no one.

A week later than expected, it's mystery cigar week where we try to identify two unbanded sticks. Also, Shane does the whole show with only half his face.

We sample the Caldwell halloween special release, and Shane is in quite the mood this week. Trae plays cut-rate therapist while he complains about loud vehicles, people acting as salmon (?), and review ransom. Buckle in folks.

The boys return with a Padron and an Alec Bradley double broadleaf. We touch on some housekeeping items for the show and a look forward, plus an old building for sale, and even older cigars in a museum

Shane smokes an LFD Airbender Chisel, Trae smokes the new heritage blend from H. Upmann and AJ Fernandez. The boys catch up on their time away, talk about top 25 from 2021, some changes to FDA definitions, and more.
