Dave doesn’t come across as a cigar guy as much as a political mouthpiece constantly parroting tired right-wing talking points and pandering to an older conservative audience. I came for cigar education, not a weekly dose of culture-war commentary. Hard pass.
The amount of ads really kill the momentum and ultimately tired me of this show. Typical “do anything to get a buck at the expense of quality” sort of thing.
they leave nothing out and give you details on all cigars they recommend, the guys are also very funny

This is a great podcast all around. It’s entertaining, funny, informative, and interesting. Peter Griffen (Dave) and the cast never fail to deliver. One note I would add to improve the show; add decimal points to the strength-o-meter. Great show guys keep up the good work.
