It’s finally here. You’ve heard us talk about it for weeks now and the new studio has arrived at the United Podcast Network. This week we will be broadcasting live from the La Flor Dominicana set of the The Cigar Authority where we will light up two cigars from the care package.
Thomas Marshall once said, “what this country needs is a really-good 5-cent cigar.” Well we have the 21st Century equivalent in the Dos Hombre Dominican Cabinet and the Dos Hombre Honduran Cabinet and we will tell you the story of how these cigars carry the same price regardless of your states taxes.
We will also take a look at the struggles of the Brick & Mortar retailer and call on you the listener to help change the trend that retail stores are facing across the country.

Well Rocky Patel was supposed to be a guest on The Cigar Authority even confirming it at IPCPR in Las Vegas. But, he’s on a well deserved vacation in Wyoming where evidently they don’t have cell phone service. We will still light up the Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary which is the first cigar from the August Care Package.
We will also take a look at contenders for the 2017 Cigar of the Year. What have we smoked that’s good and worthy of consideration at this point of the year. Will David, Mr. Jonathan and Barry find a common ground?
In the second hour, we will jump into our time machine and smoke something that was released at the August 6th, 2007 trade show.
