This week the boys are joined by special guest Mike Dilks, founder of CopvilleOG and host of The Anti-Hero Podcast, for an unfiltered deep-dive into the state of modern law enforcement. From department culture to public perception, the crew tackles what it really means to wear the badge in today’s era.The cigar of the week is the Mi Querida “Gorilla Gordo” from Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust — a heavyweight smoke that fits the conversation perfectly.In Patrol Gone Wild, things get weird: a brown-line bandit wreaks havoc on the NYC subway, a woman takes “resisting arrest” to a new level by biting an officer, and a Thai man’s back-seat medical clinic raises more than a few eyebrows.Caleb’s News wraps it up with fresh cigar drops from Crowned Heads and Warped, plus a new whiskey expression from Warlander that’s sure to turn heads at the bar.Cigar: DTT Gorila GordoA huge thank you to our show sponsors Crowned Heads Cigars, Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust, and Small Batch Cigars!

Another top-tier cigar show has announced it’s calling it quits at the end of the year. After years of dedication, countless interviews, and hundreds of episodes — it’s over.

Is this the beginning of the end for cigar media as we know it? Or just another example of how much work goes into these shows for so little return — in money, recognition, or respect from within the industry?

This week we break down what’s really happening behind the microphones. From burnout to bandwidth, sponsorship struggles to platform restrictions, we’re asking the hard question:
👉 Is cigar media in crisis… or just evolving?

Join us as we take an honest look at what it takes to survive in the cigar media space today, and whether the grind is still worth it.

This week, the boys lit up the Crowned Heads Blood Medicine B Positive and things got hilariously unhinged. Between the bizarre No Kings protest, an Oceans 11-style robbery at the Louvre, and Shohei Ohtani’s latest feats of baseball wizardry, the crew found plenty to puff and ponder over.Patrol Gone Wild was full of classics a prisoner who smuggled a gun somewhere the sun don’t shine, another DWI suspect who thought chaos was a strategy, and a Kentucky heist straight out of bourbon folklore at Castle & Key Distillery.Then Caleb’s Got News closed the show with fresh cigar drops from Cohiba and Sinistro, plus a special release from Paul Sutton Bourbon that’s sure to make whiskey lovers drool.Cigar: Crowned Heads B-Positive A huge thank you to our show sponsors Crowned Heads Cigars, Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust, and Small Batch Cigars!
