Julian is back for another special episode. We talk about our Independence Day celebrations and traditions. We then light up a novelty premium cigar that was burning a hole in Harold's locker. The specifics are unknown but the quality was top notch and the infusion of flavor was more of a novelty than a major benefit or detraction from the experience.

We also hit a topic that Harold and the group has been kicking around for a long time.

The subject is a sensitive topic for some listeners but we are on the side of the victims of child trafficking, abuse and assault.

Listener discretion advised for the last hour.

We talk about he root causes, seeming minimization, and excusing of the above crimes against humanity. We discuss the existence of evil or lack there of. Where do you fall on that subject. Is there a battle between good and evil?

Let us know in the comments or send us an email.

Today on ep 118 we light up the HOLY COW, it's a Nicaraguan cigar rolled by JC Newman at the PENSA factory in Nicaragua blended for The Cigar Authority.

We have Luke from "The Undercurrent Movie Podcast" on and we talk about "The Revenant" and do a crazy mixed up version of his podcast, check it out!

We talk ebikes and emotos and how unlicensed kids are endangering themselves and others on road. Mike is law enforcement anonymously but has years of experience. We chat about distracted driving and harm mitigation methods and what makes a off road vehicle and where these off road vehicles should be. We don't find a solution because this is new tech and new issues but we do identify issues with new tech in a new world. "Everyone remembers back in the day when we all were silly" but the world is different drivers are different and the laws have trouble keeping up.

We also enjoy an Aganorsa Leaf cigar made for Single Cask Nation aged in a Balcones peated single malt barrel. We couldn't get the bottle but we do enjoy a single malt whiskey that has peat.

Are limited editions worth it? We think so in this case. If it weren't impossible to find, expensive on the secondary market, and only available in New Hampshire when it was for sale it could have been a contender for the cigar of the year!

As for the conversation, we didn't get all the way through it but here's the question: smoking outdoors is legal for now with few exceptions but if you live in suburbia, city limits, or in an apartment complex you have neighbors and need to be courteous. If you're a guest and want a cigar you need to be kind. If it's your party you have to be generous and conscientious of your guests and your neighbors. That said, What's your ideal bbq pairing cigar and main course?

Graydon is back in town and we talk about what makes a premium or boutique cigar?

What happens when you forget about cigars in your humidor for 2 years? Some get better, some get worse and some just mellow out very nicely.

What would you do if you had an extra day off on a rainy day? Whatever you said unless you said smoke a cigar with a friend, you're wrong!
