The boys share stories of what they have been up to lately and debate the merit of gags and gimmicks when marketing cigars and swag.

Well, we poked the bear and you all poked back! Several pieces of fan mail to read plus the usual assorted B.S. The return of the Beaver Break and more!

Welcome to a somber show, we are smoking the Don Deigo Baby and the Joya de Nicaragua Copper, we discuss the model railroad show that was just recently in Sacramento, Ca and the loss of one of our friends and podcast supporter Chris.

The best laid plans, the camera crapped the bed, to you in YouTube land this is an issue but won't matter to our podcast fans. Still the show must go on! Greg, Scott, Larry and Anthony (aka the Gorilla) are here again to discuss ... well lots: We are smoking he Angeleno from Prometheus Cigars, as Drinking Dirty Wookie from "The Brewer's Cabinet" in Reno, Nv. Many states are imposing tobacco tax increases, tariffs are a potential for Nicaragua thanks to our current commander and chief, this has the potential to increase the cost of tobacco goods being sent to the US, as well as flavor and generational smoking bans. Time to get politically active and let your congressmen and senators know, not in my backyard!
