In this episode the boys are joined by Erik Wentworth of Hammer + Sickle cigars. Through September 30, 2019, Twins Smoke Shop is offering a 10 count grab bag of Hammer + Sickle cigars for $79.99. The grab bag contains selections from every line of Hammer + Sickle: Tradicion, Trademark, Hermitage, Berlin Wall Box Pressed, and The Caleanoch, and we smoke 'em all on the show! We talk about the history of the company, why German tobacco (one of the components in the Heritage) is so hard to blend with, and how to properly extinguish a cigar.

Episode 4: Fly Farthing
Monday Sep 09, 2019
Monday Sep 09, 2019
Pastor Padron, Paul, and Dave head up episode four this week as Nick was in-flight to Florida. We covered everything from the difference bewteen graciously accepting a cigar from a friend and being a mooch, to how you can tell from your dog's business that he has been feasting on your cat's business. We also answered a listener's question: what is your favorite cigar and why? Needless to say, we covered a wide range of topics in this one. We get down with Oscar Valladares' new Super Fly cigar, and open up Penny Farthing, the first new pipe tobacco from G.L. Pease in 2 years. Is the Super Fly worthy of such an epic name? Is Penny Farthing worth the ride, or is it just another shag? Listen and find out what we think!

Episode 3: PB Jefferson and Hanky Panky Sun Bear
Monday Sep 02, 2019
Monday Sep 02, 2019
This week we light up one of the latest newcomers to Twins Smoke Shop, the Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion 1794 Jefferson by RoMa Craft. While the Whiskey Rebellion line has been out for several years it has only just become available for national distribution. Should you look for it? In the first half of this episode we give you our take. In the second half we review Cornell & Diehl's latest Small Batch release, Sun Bear. C&D has sold out of the 4500 tins they made, and while Twins has a good supply, it will be harder and harder to find. Is it worth the effort or a blend you don't need to feel bad about missing? Listen and find out!
