  • Good show

    Still listening but my man Chris needs a co host or he needs to work on his confidence. He doesn't have that commanding delivery like Nick on cigar knowledge. I'm sure he knows his stuff but it's not coming across. Maybe just needs more reps solo.

  • Good Content

    A chill podcast with relatable personalities. Few (if any) dirty jokes or anything I’d be too embarrassed about listening in the car with mixed company. Great commentary on cigars, the industry, sports, and film. Good stuff.

  • Need new co host

    Appreciate nick’s insight and wit. Painful listening to Chris echo whatever nick says 100% of the time. He needs to prepare more talking points in advance as he’s not particularly quick on his feet.

  • Cigar Podcast????

    I searched for Cigar Podcasts and this came up. For the life of me, nothing that was discussed was remotely related to smoking cigars, and for the topics that were discussed, these guys were stunningly poorly informed.
