Rep X Talks About It All - Retailers, Brands, Road Life Apr 06, 2019

Show notes

We've all seen the shows where someone sits in the shadows and the voice is changed as they blow the cover off of things. Well this week we have an unknown cigar representative coming in to do just that. Here he secrets about retailers, cigar brands and life on the road. This is bound to be our most controversial show to date.

In the first hour we will fire up the first cigar from the April Care Package. It's a cigar from Jochy Blanco down in the Dominican Republic as we fire up La Galera Maduro.

In the second hour of the show we will take a look at the new Avo Improvisation Series 2019 Limited Edition. It's our first show in our 10th year of our weekly broadcast.

What Is the TAA – Tobacconist Association of America? Mar 23, 2019

Show notes

What is TAA? If you ask around only your hardcore cigar geeks know what TAA is and even then they only know because of one of the most popular yearly limited editions in the cigar industrys; Tatuaje TAA.

However the Tobacconist Association of America is so much more than that. Our own David Garofalo just returned from their yearly meeting and convention in La Romano, Dominican Republic. Tune in and we will tell you what went on, what rumors were overheard and what can be expected in terms of Limited Edition TAA releases in 2019.

In the first hour we will light up a cigar from the March Care Package, the 2012 Connecticut by Oscar and in the second hour we will fire up a cigar that Dave has chosen to keep secret. What is it? Will the boys be able to guess? Or will they fail?

Misconceptions About Cigar Smoking & Building A Home Smoking Room Mar 09, 2019

It's the moment Mr. Jonathan has been waiting for. This week he gets in David's pants although I am not sure it turned out how he expected. Dave and Ed Sullivan are away so Mr. J plays the role of Dave and Barry the role of Ed.

Brad Winstead, Montecristo Nicaragua & Barry's Birthday! Mar 02, 2019

Show notes

It's a party as we are joined by the Head of Consumer Marketing for Altadis USA, Brad Winstead as we fire up a cigar from the March Care Package. We will discuss and smoke the Montecristo Nicaragua Series. We will look at the footprint of Altadis and discuss the cigars within their portfolio and perhaps get a sneak peek at what is coming this year.

In the second hour the celebration continues as Barry turns 50. We will fire up the first cigar he ever gave a 100 rating to back on June 11, 2008. We will share our thoughts on the WinsteadNatural and ask, "Why does Barry rate cigars so high? And why does it bother people so much?"

Rumor has it that there might be a bottle of Flor de Cana rum present. It's a rumor Barry started because it's true. The boys are drinking again so this one might fly off the rails.

Hop on board the crazy train known as The Cigar Authority, the most listened to cigar podcast in the world. We will have all the usually suspects including Versus, Offer of the Day, Cigar News and a peek into the Asylum.
