  • I give up

    I enjoy listening to podcasts that deal with cigars. However the time I have to devote to listening is finite. If I listen I want the content to be reasonably relevant to the topic. I really don’t care to hear these two discuss election results. If I wanted that I would search for a podcast featuring people whose views are more educated. I have been listening to this podcast for months and I have reached the end

  • Gets better and better

    Coop and Aaron get better and better at interviews. The momentum they get on some shows, where the conversation just flows makes for some awesome interviews.

  • “um”

    Intimidated by 3hour shows?? Just download the podcasts through your filler app.... click on “delete word” and type in “um”. You’ll knock off an hour easily. Another half if you type “uh”

  • Great way to get your Cigar Industry Scoop!

    I’m fairly new to cigars but I’ve gotten a lot of my info and learned a lot by listening to this podcast. Coop is old school and is a great interviewer. Aaron is chill and I’m a fan of his site too. Bear is too much at times with the brown-nosing but other than that he is a great interviewer. All of the shows under the Cigar Coop are entertaining, and now he has included the Cigar Jukebox. If you love cigars and the industry you should add this to the weekly rotation. The panel shows are my favo... more

  • Great Show

    So why only a 3 star rating?! I can’t stand the live reads. They drive me crazy. I know I can skip through them but because it’s one of the hosts who read the commercials you never know if they’re actually reading a commercial or talking so you spend a ton of time playing with the fast forward and rewind. The content is strong and Coop and his team are very competent when it comes to talking about cigars.

Special Livestream with Drew Newman, JC Newman Cigar Company (Audio)
Q: How did JC Newman's branding strategy evolve to foreground the family story over individual brands?

Prime Time Episode 381: Rafael Nodal, Aging Room Cigars / Tabacalera USA
Q: Why did you shift aging and production to Nicaragua for Aging Room?
