Saturday Aug 31, 2019
So you are new to cigar smoking and walking into a humidor could be a daunting experience. So many cigars to choose from but where do you begin. Inspired by an upcoming article in Cigar Journal magazine we walk you through the process on how to pick a cigar. Choosing wisely could be the turning point to a life long passion or just a fad and we will offer our insights to help you make that decision.
This show isn’t just for novices because we’ve all picked up a cigar that just didn’t do it for us. We have some suggestions that will help you spend your hard earned money, wisely.
In the first hour we will smoke the United Churchill as we ask the questions, does gender matter? Size? Strength? Price? Brand? We will answer these questions and more.
In the second hour we will smoke the Perdomo 20th Anniversary Maduro as we unveil who will be making the 2020 Firecracker. We’ve had a lot of people guessing, but it’s time to pull back the curtain and make the announcement.
We will have this all the usual suspects including Versus, Offer of the Day, Cigar News and a peek into the Asylum. The Cigar Authority is a member of the United Podcast Network and is recorded live in front of a studio audience at Studio 21 Podcast Cafe upstairs at Two Guys Smoke Shop in Salem, NH and as always you can find many of the cigars we discuss at http://www.2GuysCigars.com/.

Saturday Aug 17, 2019
Over the past few weeks we asked you our listeners and readers of TheCigarAuthority.com to partake in a survey where we asked you 20 questions. Well, the results are in and we will share the results… How much do you smoke, how much do you spend, what are your favorite brands and so much more. Barry has compiled all the answers and we share them with you the participants with whom it would not have been possible.
The big companies are out to hurt the little companies, but have those small companies turned the tide? It appears the big are getting smaller, but are the little companies getting bigger? Regardless, the cigar industry is changing and we will take a look at what’s going on as well as some major changes in Nicaragua.
In the first hour we will tackle the first 10 questions while smoking Intemperance by RoMaCraft Cigars, while in the second hour we fire up a Padron 2000 Maduro. Both cigars were named by us on our after-show where we shared with you cigars that are smoking really well right now.

In Gulliver’s Travels, Gulliver was held captive by the people of Lilliput before he reached an agreement with the King where he would be permitted to roam free as long as he didn’t hurt the small people of the Island. Eventually he was charged with Treason before escaping. One could look at this tale and draw similarities to the Cigar Industry.
The big companies are out to hurt the little companies, but have those small companies turned the tide? It appears the big are getting smaller, but are the little companies getting bigger? Regardless, the cigar industry is changing and we will take a look at what’s going on as well as some major changes in Nicaragua.
