We're doing a little music.  (C) G. H. Gillis

We are currently undergoing significant changes in our recording studio capabilities (new location, new studio, new equipment) and  a big changeup in hosts/personnel.  We expect to be 'in business' again within about 40 days.   Our new hosts (aside from myself, Gregg) to include Bob,  'Warhawk', and Rich.   Please be patient...  we have some really good programming ahead.

In this episode, we're doing something a little different.  We started receiving "Farm Rolled" cigars from the Privada Cigar Club on a monthly basis.   But before we go further we must acknowledge that there are a lot of cigar clubs out there; this is not to say one is better than the other.  They all have their positive attributes.  That said and out of the way, we selected one of the cigars so that we both had the ...

In this episode we sample the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Year of the Rat.  This cigar  is highlighted by a lush Connecticut Broadleaf capa with a flavorful Brazilian binder and rich Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers.  And it's a tough cigar to get a hold of (thanks go to Anthony at Cordy's Cigar Box). 

We also have a guest in this episode...  we welcome Earl The Pearl.  A bartender extraordinaire.  He smokes t...

In this episode Larry and Gregg sample the Balmoral Anejo XO Rothschild Massivo cigar from  Royal Agio Cigars. 

This cigar has a Connecticut leaf wrapper (grown in Pennsylvania) and so is a milder and creamier style of cigar.   We loved it. 

We rated this as follows:
Construction and Appearance:  8.5   (out of 10).
Burn and Draw:  9  (out of 10).
Flavor and Complexity:  8.5  (out of 10)

In this episode Larry and Gregg explore the Quesada Tributo Julio (5x50) boutique cigar. 

There's a lot to be said about this flavor bomb...  personally, one of my all time favorites and my "go to" cigar.  Hard to find but well worth it. 

In this podcast we are joined by "Warhawk"...  and yes, there's a story about her avatar name.  Later about that, except to say that she's on...

In this episode Larry and Gregg explore the La Flor Dominicana (LFD) La Volcada boutique cigar. 

With the hope of entertaining you with more than just two guys sitting around talking about a cigar, we find ourselves following the adventures of four robots in an AI Lab somewhere... and the robots decide they want to try a cigar.   It doesn't work.  So we explain it.   

We rated the La Volcada (0-100 with 100...

Episode 11: Crowned Heads Juarez OBS and the Time Machine (03/17/20)

In this episode, we sample the Crowned Heads Juarez OBS cigar and we tuck it inside a whimsical story of time travel gone wrong.  We rate the Juarez OBS at a 90 (out of 100) and discuss it's attributes and flavors.  We DID very much like this cigar.  

We create these stories because we recognize that, sure, we could just sit around and talk ...

In this episode we start off the new year by testing/sampling Ashton's La Aroma de Cuba "El Jefe".  This cigar is a little pricier than most so we expected a lot.  Unfortunately, this was a disaster.  Overall Rating (1-10):  5.

In episode 6 we smoke and review a "Nick and Jim PBE" cigar from the Slippery Rock Cigar Company (Slippery Rock, PA).  This cigar is a collaborative effort between Island Jim" Robinson (you may recall those LEAF cigars) and Nick Syris of LH Premium Cigars and it's a pretty spectacular cigar.  Overall Rating (1-10):  9.

We're in the "garage studio" and it's mid-October.  In this episode, we're smoking and contemplating the newly released Rocky Patel LB1 (original factory code).  It's a really nice cigar and we rated it, overall, at an 8 (1 to 10 with 10 being the best in the world).

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
