    Crowned Heads Jericho Hill OBS
    2026/02/04
    We light up the Crowned Heads Jericho Hill OBS — a box-pressed robusto featuring Nicaraguan binder and filler wrapped in Mexican San Andrés Maduro, produced at the My Father Cigars factory in Estelí. Pepper-forward off the light, the cigar transitions into earthy cocoa, dark spice, and creamy Maduro sweetness through the middle and final thirds. Medium-to-full bodied, complex, and dynamic for a short vitola. Along the way: strength discussion, golf course cigar debates, Johnny Cash references, and the true story of how we found $3,000 worth of meth in an Airbnb in Boise.

    Drew Estate 20 Acre Farm FSG (feat. Gary Diehl)
    2026/01/21
    We welcome friend-of-the-show Gary Diehl and light up the Drew Estate 20 Acre Farm FSG — a Florida Sun Grown cigar with a lot more personality than expected. Pepper-forward up front with fruity, nougaty notes underneath, a mellowing middle, and a cedar-leaning finish that stays interesting all the way down. Along the way: Corona Cigar sourcing stories, Florida-grown tobacco history, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and a full Hot Box interrogation of Gary.

  • La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro

    La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro
    2026/01/14
    We go back to a “classic” and find out it is way punchier than memory gave it credit for. La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro brings oily wrapper vibes, steady pepper, espresso, and a late-game sweetness that redeems the middle. Also featured: winter garage problems, retrohale pepper sensors, and Patrick’s cigar briefly trying to self-destruct before settling down and behaving.

  • Crowned Heads Mil Dias Maduro Sublime

    Crowned Heads Mil Dias Maduro Sublime
    2025/12/31
    We light up the Crowned Heads Mil Dias Maduro Sublime and immediately start arguing with our own taste buds: honeyed cold draw, granola sweetness, a weird little raspberry moment, and an herbal/earthy backbone that keeps shifting. Then we zoom out and do what we do best—turn “a thousand days” into a full-on life audit: kids aging in dog years, poker-night nostalgia, and why the humidor is basically a time machine with ash.

  • Florida Man Miami

    Florida Man Miami
    2025/12/17
    We light up Raymond Page’s Florida Man Miami, a limited run that somehow tastes exactly like its name: cedar, citrus, and a little chaos. Along the way we define “Florida Man,” read real headlines, debate underwear-in-the-window policy, and confess our most impulsive decisions—including a truly cursed teen car purchase.

  • Cuba Aliados Cabinet Edition – with Pete Cooper

    Cuba Aliados Cabinet Edition – with Pete Cooper
    2025/12/10
    We fire up the Cuba Aliados Cabinet Edition by E.P. Carrillo with guest Pete Cooper of Goldberry Coffee. Sweetness, toast, graham, and steady retrohale spice pair with a conversation on third-wave coffee, roasting philosophy, the death of “coffee snobbery,” and teaching people to taste with curiosity instead of insecurity.

    Megilla Ltd. Edition Shofar
    2025/11/26
    We fire up the Megilla Ltd. Edition Shofar—a four-wrapper barber pole fever dream from Raymond Page—and use its twists and turns as a backdrop for talking through the stages of parenting. Grassy barnyard, sweet cocoa and building pepper ride alongside dad stories about Pearl Jam moments, border collie parenting, cross-country finish lines, and the coaches, friends, and “uncles” who help raise our kids.

  • E.P. Carrillo Black Swan

    E.P. Carrillo Black Swan
    2025/11/12
    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.
