Calling all cigar students! James, Jeff, and Julian are joined by first time guest Audrey and friend-of-the-podcast Joe for a chance to get back to basics. We talk about how to smoke a cigar from beginning to end with some tips for novices. Our cigars for this study are the inviting CAO Moontrance as well as a set of intriguing Fireball Corona. We also enjoy some complimentary beverages as we talk a bit of everything with our delightful guests!

For this special and momentous episode of the podcast, Jeff, James, Harold, Julian, and the Romp Ranger are joined by the generous and delightful James Arbaugh (of Stucki Jewelers and Phoenix Humidor fame). James brings us some of the best (and most expensive) cigars from the Humidor, including a few Gurkha Triads, Rocky Patel Convictions, and Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Editions. While profusely enjoying these special smokes, we chat with James about the cigar business, how the lounge is a special space, cigars for occasions and occasions for cigars, and much more!

James, Jeff, Harold, and Julian are joined by the immensely charming and all-around-great-dude Luke Papararo of The Undercurrent Movie Podcast. In the spirit of collaboration, we talk Ben Affleck's directorial debut, and smoke a Rocky Patel Emerald until it is gone baby, GONE.
