Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 357: Barrell Bourbon Cigar Blend and El Titan de Bronze Nicaragua
Q: What was the turning point for Barrell to release a cigar blend?
Consumer demand and fan engagement were pivotal; there was clear interest from supporters and a strong desire to innovate, which spurred the company to pursue a cigar blend rather than follow a trend.
Episode 354: Whiskey War Cigar Cask Batch #5 and CAO Flathead Speed Shop
Q: How long are the finishing times on the Ombruana barrels and how do you decide when to pull?
Finishing times vary from days to weeks to months, with an average around a month to three months depending on weather and desired flavor trajectory; decisions are based on flavor development and avoidance of over-oaking.
Episode 354: Whiskey War Cigar Cask Batch #5 and CAO Flathead Speed Shop
Q: What is the thinking behind choosing Ombruana for the finish?
The team started with Ombruana as an experimental finish, then formalized it into a product line after competition results and internal feedback showed it resonates with audiences, leading to a dedicated barrel select program and ongoing use in multiple batches.
Episode 302.2: Audience Q&A
Q: How do you learn to treat triumph and disaster the same?
Try not to let the disasters or the failures take up more energy than the wins.
Episode 300.2: The Wise Man
Q: What would you tell your younger self about dealing with past experiences?
You did the best you could, and sometimes you need to learn to accept what comes with the decisions that we make.
