This is my first but cut up episode. I actually edited! I know, crazy right? Can you catch the cuts?

I ramble on too much about stuff that is basically Phoenix Cigar Lounge member's concern only and I cut it out.

We have some cool things you can win just by sending in an email. We will pay for shipping if you are far away or you can come get it and be a guest at the lounge or even better on the podcast.

We light up the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata and do the recap of the expo with special guests Amber and The Silver Fox. We also go wild as usual. The Silver Fox tells us about a work trip that involved some down time in Palm Springs CA and he checked out a sweet lounge. You can check out some cool lounges and tell us about it via DM or email and we will go see them!

Make sure you follow and like and subscribe on all the socials and send in your emails. We have loads more swag to give away.

First off I didn't review the cigar at the end so here's the review.

Strength out of 10: 5

Flavor out of 10: 8

Over all flavors: it is a complex review on the two predominant flavors of leather and wood, with everything from warm new leather furniture to old leather horse tac. The wood is complex as well with oak, cedar, and sweet cinnamon. Less prevalent flavors of cream, mashed potatoes and spices of smoked paprika and black pepper.

That is out of the way, now the content. I talk about lounge business, the still unraveling news out of Nicaragua and the current co-presidents civil rights violations and power grab and what it could do to the cigar industry and the buyers of Nicaraguan cigars. Buy now save later I say.

I also talk about some good cigars I've had and enjoyed and some shows that are available on prime video.

It is a cigar heavy episode but I was alone and gave you over an hour and a half.

Our next episode will be my recap on the New England Cigar Expo.
