    The third stop in our Black Swan mini-series: E.P. Carrillo’s take. Cocoa powder sweetness, pepper, and a creamy finish frame a long garage-night ramble on cuts, humidors, dry-boxing, and why Toro > Robusto (sometimes). Final third turns chocolatey; panel lands around a 7–8 overall.

    We light up the Bricktoberfest Churchill with guest Drew Newman of J.C. Newman Cigars—pairing it with Oktoberfest beer, warm spice, and plenty of laughter. Expect rich brick-house flavor, Tampa history, and family stories as we toast the only traditional cigar factory still rolling in the U.S.

    Jason’s out celebrating his anniversary, so the remaining trio lights up the Oliva Black Swan—part two of our running Black Swan series. We dive into what “limited” really means, chase cocoa powder and cedar notes, and somehow end up comparing spicy retrohales to fast-food chicken sandwiches. It’s chocolate, smooth spice, and light chaos in the garage.

    All four hosts are back in the garage to kick off our Black Swan mini-series with the Rocky Patel edition. We talk what “Black Swan” actually is (think pop-up tobacco batches), argue whether a cigar still “tastes like a Rocky” when the inputs change, and chase surprising notes—tea vibes, a cedar wall on the retrohale—while Jason workshopped “stop talking to me, swan” and we took a brief detour through legendary chili-dog lore.

  • Building Our Dream Shop – E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Confidant

    Building Our Dream Shop – E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Confidant
    2025/09/10
    This week we light up the E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Confidant and sketch the blueprint of our dream cigar lounge—layout, airflow, lockers, staff culture, and what actually builds community. Jason stands us up (again), Ryan has a “Ghost” moment with a cigar roller, and we debate whether “limited” runs like Allegiance should shape buying habits.

    To All the Shops We’ve Loved Before – Rocky Patel A.L.R. 2nd Edition
    2025/08/26
    We revisit our favorite lounges and what made them special—from member culture and staff hospitality to thoughtful walk-in design—while smoking Rocky Patel’s A.L.R. 2nd Edition. We talk cedar sweetness, cocoa, and how construction and burn contribute to a relaxing night with friends.

  • Cigar Evangelism - Oliva Serie V 135th Anniversary Perfecto

    Cigar Evangelism - Oliva Serie V 135th Anniversary Perfecto
    2025/08/13
    We light the Oliva Serie V 135th Anniversary Perfecto and talk “cigar evangelism” — the friends, bosses, and random shop regulars who first handed us a stick and started something bigger. Cedar and cocoa meet campfire memories, simple rituals, and a smooth burn that finishes right where we like it.

    Brotherhood of the Leaf – Plasencia 151 Cosecha
    2025/07/30
    We light the Plasencia 151 Cosecha — cedar, pepper, coffee, and a touch of cinnamon in a bold Honduran puro — and talk about the “Brotherhood of the Leaf.” From shop hospitality to strangers-turned-friends, it’s flavor and fellowship with an honest 6 to 6.5 out of 10 on the night.
