Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 53 ratings
  • Rated 98 by CA…probably

    I have recently gotten back into the hobby and was looking for podcasts to listen to. This was the one that hooked me.

    These are just some down-to-earthy flavor dudes that clearly enjoy what they do and have fun. From the Silver Fox Sensei himself, to Juany’s color commentary, to Jordan’s top-notch production, this show is a banger the whole way through.

    Their guests are always engaging and topics entertaining.

  • Get rid of Randy!

    Just finished listening to the “Brand Stock Market” episode. That Randy guy ruined the show with his incessant interrupting, high octane volume and that fake laugh he blasts after every comment. They should stop including him on their podcasts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

There’s a Right Way and a Wrong Way with Tim Swanson
Q: What is Tim's approach to cutting and lighting a cigar?
Tim emphasizes that there is no one universal right way, but stresses two non‑negotiables: achieving an even light and making a clean cut that does not overly disturb the wrapper or the cigar's bunch. He also cautions against heavy punching or deep cuts that damage the wrapper.
Are Cigars Actually GOOD for Your Health?
Q: If you're smoking cigars, how much vitamin C should you be taking to mitigate the bad parts of nicotine?
A practical guideline is about one to two grams of vitamin C daily, with discussion of regenerating vitamin E and pairing with fats; two grams a day is common in his practice, spaced through the day.
Are Cigars Actually GOOD for Your Health?
Q: Give me the reader's digest version of why cigars are actually good for you, not just not bad for you.
Matt Blackburn outlines that tobacco contains multiple bioactive compounds, notably sembranoid diterpenes, which may confer neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant benefits, and emphasizes the need to balance risks with context and mitigation.
Zino’s Tom Zbyrad In-Studio for Smoke Night LIVE
Q: Tell folks what your role is with Zino. What do you do with Zino?
Tom explains that his role covers the marketing side for Zino and the entire portfolio, including promotions, swag from his Drew Estate days, show appearances, promotions, merchandising displays, and coordinating with retailers and sponsors.
