Ahoy maties! How could we possibly do Halloween season right without including a film from the Master Of Horror himself? And speaking of masters, I can’t believe how long it has taken the TNCC to review one of Steve Saka’s new cigar releases of 2016. Well much like peanut butter and chocolate and other brilliant combinations made throughout history, tonight we mesh a great film with a fantastic stogie and the results will dazzle you. That’s right, DAZZLE. You got a problem with the word dazzle? Yeah, I didn’t think so… THE CIGAR – SOBREMESA ELEGANTE EN CEDROS by DUNBARTON TOBACCO & TRUST             As you loyal listeners to the show will surely remember, last […]

We began tonight’s show by filling The Boot Of Remembrance for the late great comic genius Mr. Gene Wilder. However, our mood was not somber but rather reflective and appreciative of the man’s work and the untouchable legacy he left behind. Then, as always, we proceeded to light up tonight’s stogie and drink copious amounts of alcohol until we were unable to feel feelings anymore. Enjoy! THE CIGAR – RED KNIGHT TORO by JAS SUM KRAL                   Translated from Macedonian, Jas Sum Kral means “I am king” which is a ballsy name for a cigar for sure but we’re a ballsy bunch here at the TNCC so it’s a good fit. Actually […]

Tonight is a very special episode of the Tuesday Night Cigar Club Podcast and it’s also a very different episode structure-wise from the norm around here, so this abbreviated episode page will look a little different as well. We were recently invited by Skip Martin and Mike Rosales of RoMa Craft Tobac to join them at their headquarters in Austin, Texas to eat some amazing barbecue, watch a film, and do a show. They also put out an open invite on social media for fellow brothers of the leaf to join us and it was a cool turnout. Several hours later we stumbled back to TNCC headquarters with a ton of footage and, to be honest, a large chunk of […]

We haven’t had an episode that felt this good in some time. Don’t get me wrong, each show is entertaining and noteworthy in its own way but sometimes we walk away from the table knowing in our guts that we not only did our job but that we recorded something special. This was one of those weeks. And when I say “walk away from the table” you can clearly see from the image below that nobody walked away from that table. Summer nights… THE CIGAR – LAST RITES by BLACK LABEL TRADING COMPANY Tonight we are reviewing the Last Rites robusto from Black Label Trading Company. The dark rich brown Ecuadorian maduro wrapper is aesthetically very pleasing to the eye and […]

Our summer of fun continues! While this week’s show doesn’t feature nearly as much bikini talk, the good times continue to roll around here nonetheless. Drinking a real beer this time around certainly helped grease the party wheels in The Corner Of No Hope as well. Mmmm beer… is there any problem it can’t solve? THE CIGAR – EL GUEGUENSE by FOUNDATION CIGAR COMPANY Much like the director of tonight’s film, the man behind the El Gueguense (“The Wiseman”) is responsible for some of our all time favorites. As former VP and Director of Tobacco & Production at Drew Estate, Nicholas Melillo played a crucial role in creating a ton of premium cigars that consistently occupy my humidor such as […]

It’s summer time baby!!! Our first annual Summer Bikinitastic Double-Feature episode has arrived! The things we do for podcasting folks… So take a break from this ballbusting heat and settle in for what’s guaranteed* to be the coolest, funniest, most entertaining three hours you’ll experience this summer. *not an actual guarantee THE CIGAR – EASTERN STANDARD CREAM CRUSH by CALDWELL CIGAR COMPANY                   After our chat with Robert Caldwell a few months ago at CATS Fest, I was eager to dive in and sample another one of his cigars ASAP. The Eastern Standard Cream Crush is a very good looking Churchill with a darker than usual Connecticut hybrid wrapper. Tut noticed a […]

Our most dystopian episode yet!!! I’m not sure if that proclamation deserves quite so many exclamation points, or any at all actually, but I’m too damn lazy to go back and delete them so here we are. This was both an insanely fun show and a frustratingly frustrating show to do. We started things off by interviewing the executive director of Cigar Rights of America, which you can watch via the video clip below, and after an hour or so of hearing just how troubling the levels of government overreach have risen this year with the FDA’s new premium cigar regulations… it was honestly hard to pull ourselves out of a funk. BUT we did manage somehow (beer) to pull […]

WE’RE BACK! After a long trip to San Antonio for the phenomenal yearly cigar event known as CATS Fest (and an even longer recovery period) we have finally rested our poor livers, dusted off our beloved pint glasses, and settled back in The Corner Of No Hope to rock your fucking socks off. Did you miss us? Boy oh boy, when our illustrious announcer Keith Howell suggested that we discuss tonight’s film on the show I truly had no idea what my crew and I were getting ourselves into. I hope you enjoy the lively and very topical conversation this evening, as always I encourage you to leave us a review over on iTunes or drop a comment on the […]

I’ve always been a huge fan of the Friday The 13th film series. While Halloween is by far my favorite horror franchise of them all, I’ve been a devoted fanboy of Jason Voorhees and his crazy Crystal Lake hijinks almost all of my life. My Uncle Dave introduced me to the films when I was just a preteen as his favorite local late night Cleveland TV program “The Big Chuck & Little John Show” would occasionally show Friday The 13th: Part 3, so over greasy slices of pepperoni pizza and the smell of my uncle’s candela Grenadier cigar I became HOOKED on the mayhem I was witnessing on the television screen. I was also hooked on the notion of eating […]

I heard the quote above from iconic musician Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas) on a BBC interview this morning and it reminded me SO MUCH of our attitude here at the TNCC. Here we are 30 episodes into this crazy thing and we are still so fucking different than anything else out there and we’re still confidently diving off cliffs blindfolded every night we turn on the mics. That’s not to say we don’t prepare, that we don’t hustle our asses off, and that we don’t care if our work finds an audience. Nothing could be farther from the truth. What it does mean is that we are not concerned with fitting into any molds or templates […]
