Welcome back to the smoke-filled sanctuary that is Puffin Drink! After a brief hiatus, Rodney Love, Byron B, and Jimmie Jefferson return with glasses raised and cigars lit, ready to reignite your passion for the perfect puff.
This comeback episode features special guest DJ Qu4d (Akima Menaka), a remarkably versatile entrepreneur who embodies the hustle spirit with her impressive roster of talents. From her day job as a dedicated school counselor to her work as a DJ, photographer, photo booth operator, children's entertainer, and community organizer, DJ Qu4dshares details about her upcoming car show fundraiser at Cola's on Northwestern Highway. Scheduled for July 26th from 5-9pm, this event combines automotive appreciation with philanthropic purpose, raising scholarship funds initially for Sigma Gamma Rho with plans to support other Divine Nine organizations in the future. Car and bike enthusiasts can showcase their vehicles for $40, while spectators enjoy free admission to this community celebration.
The heart of this episode lies in the "Barbershop Talk" segment where the hosts deliver an impromptu masterclass on cigar quality assessment. Debunking the myth of "tobacco poisoning," they share three essential tests every cigar enthusiast should know: the pinch test for proper moisture content, the smell test for authentic aromas, and the taste test for distinctive flavors beyond just "rolled-up leaves." Their discussion extends to proper humidity levels (65-72%) for storage and the crucial difference between harmless cigar plume and potentially dangerous mold growth – knowledge that could save your precious collection.
