  interview next week. So back to ACW from last night.
• 10:25
  It was their second show they ever ran at the MJN Center.
• 10:32
  And listen, they're for for a new company.
• 10:38
  They're they're doing sold out twice.
• 10:41
  They sold out the first show. And hopefully, hopefully, you
• 10:44
  know, we're friends with I I know these two kids since they
• 10:47
  grew up in the wrestling world. So I'm hoping to get these two
• 10:51
  motherfuckers on here. Hello, Victoria.
• 10:53
  Hello, Dale. If you're watching Cock Suckers,
• 10:56
  get on here. But they sold out twice.
• 11:04
  Twice. Not once, but twice.
• 11:05
  So I'm assuming they'll be on the cards again, I'm figuring.

  By September, October. I wouldn't even say that long.
• 11:15
  Their first show was what, in January?
• 11:17
  Yes, three months is May, 3 months after that, so probably
• 11:29
  August. I would say by August, maybe
• 11:34
  September. I'm going to go more towards
• 11:37
  August. They'll probably run another
• 11:38
  show. Last night was the Battle of the
• 11:41
  Belt show. Well, Joey, all the belts were
• 11:43
  on the line. Joey is good friends with Hail

• 18:31
  Hold on, Miguel. It might just be us.
• 18:35
  Miguel, we can hear you. Can't see you.
• 18:38
  There we go. What's up, brother?
• 18:45
  What's going on? You hear me?
• 18:46
  You see me? Yep, I can hear you.
• 18:48
  Hello brother. OK, hello everybody.
• 18:52
  Thank you for the opportunity. Stay and they fuck out.
• 18:57
  I'm very appreciate the opportunity and I'm here to
• 19:02
  talking about a little bit. The Minister's cigar is a new
• 19:06
  new line. My first podcast.
• 19:16
  I made it, but I let the the leader continue with the
• 19:23
  interview and asking me the question they want to know.
• 19:27
  Let me ask you this, I. Apologize 1st for my English and
• 19:30
  I perfect OK. Listen, that's OK.
• 19:34
  We don't care about your English brother, trust me.
• 19:36
  We have a Spaniard that's his English is so fucking broken.
• 19:41
  So, Miguel, let me ask you about the silver.
• 19:47
  Yes, tell me about. Tell me where?
• 19:53
  It's made out. What's in it?
• 19:58
  Give me one second. The Minita cigar is 1 meat is 1
• 20:02
  blender specific, one blender with different 5 wrapper.
• 20:08
  We made it like that originally, the cigar coming a sweet tea,
• 20:15
  but this production, I'm not doing a sweet tea because I want
• 20:19
  to see the reaction. That my customer and many people
• 20:23
  told me what happened with the sweet tea, What happened with
• 20:25
  the sweet tea. And you know what the next
• 20:31
  orange coming they come in with a sweet tea because this is the
• 20:33
  first one I made and the people love it because I'm the smoke.
• 20:39
  I thought we don't like it a flavor cigar.
• 20:42
  I'm not smoking. I'm I'm gonna start smoking
• 20:46
  flavor cigar. But right now in my level and my
• 20:50
  experience and and small flavored cigar.
• 20:55
  But some people like feeling something sweet, you know,
• 20:58
  because sometimes the tobacco is not sweet and it's too strong
• 21:03
  and it's little difficult and some and sometimes to to a small
• 21:08
  bar. The good thing in the in the in
• 21:11
  the cigar world is we have a a different blender around the
• 21:16
  world, around the country and you can try to find them.
• 21:20
  What is the best blender? For.
• 21:24
  You because I I always said the cigar is like the alcohol.
• 21:30
  And and and and some. Part because I can give it to
• 21:34
  you. One child, $500 a drink and
• 21:38
  maybe you don't like it and I can give it to you.
• 21:41
  One child, the ten daughter and maybe you love her.
• 21:45
  And that happened with the cigar.
• 21:49
  That happened with the cigar. Yo, my last cigar I buy.
• 21:54
  I reserve the name, you know, because I don't like it talking
• 21:58
  about an about the any a brown name.
• 22:02
  Everybody for me, everybody have a good produce and the level and
• 22:07
  the production, they made it OK for a specific version.
• 22:11
  When somebody told me they don't like my cigar, I, I, I'm not
• 22:15
  worried because the cigar not can like everybody, you know,
• 22:21
  It's not perfect, you know? So, so, so Miguel, for every one
• 22:25
  person that don't like the cigar, there's five other people
• 22:30
  that like it. Exactly that.
• 22:34
  That that's. Happened just 'cause they may
• 22:37
  not like one rapper, like they may not like the Connecticut
• 22:40
  that I'm smoking, but that doesn't mean they won't like the
• 22:44
  Habano or the Maduro or the Creole or whatever other ones
• 22:47
  you have. Just because they don't like
• 22:49
  this one doesn't mean they won't like the rest of the products.
• 22:51
  So heck, so so Miguel, I just want to say to you, brother, I
• 22:56
  just got off the phone with you and I know you're not feeling
• 22:59
  well. I appreciate you jumping on.
• 23:03
  Listen dog, I seen you out there and fucking PA, well you've been
• 23:08
  in PA like you've been in fucking shops all over PA, so
• 23:14
  shout out the fucking PA getting L Maestro in there, you heard?
• 23:19
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, It's curious you some say that about the some
• 23:27
  people can like it the Connecticut and say don't I
• 23:29
  don't like it the Connecticut, but they don't know the another
• 23:32
  4 rapper, you know, right. Exactly.
• 23:35
  Look, look at that. Look at that exactly in Google a
• 23:38
  page the only review the 3D star I have it is it somebody they
• 23:47
  say that something like and I say I do have one question how
• 23:53
  you can say you don't like it 1 brand when you're not tasting
• 23:57
  the old product they have and this is only one person I have
• 24:01
  it. We negative comment, but I
• 24:07
  checked the profile person to see who is it's from reading and
• 24:12
  let me tell you something and I found the one business and ready
• 24:17
  no matter what tobacco, no matter what liquor, no matter
• 24:19
  what doctor, no matter what any place this guy going, he do a
• 24:24
  really bad rating. It's like a hater, you know, but
• 24:29
  we need that because these people me to do better every
• 24:32
  day. And like I said, the miniature
• 24:36
  cigar is A1 blender. We we have a different and lip
• 24:44
  and it's a one blender with five different.
• 24:48
  I'm trying to make a one of it, but my factory told me why
• 24:53
  you're going to start with one when we, when we, when you can
• 24:57
  start with five. And I say, OK, because we
• 25:02
  haven't bought it. The people buy more.
• 25:05
  And some people is a Connecticut fan.
• 25:08
  Another one is right fan another one like a Carojo Albano Camaro,
• 25:13
  you know, and I have a 5 different choice.
• 25:16
  And this is this is the the good thing the the curious part in
• 25:23
  this cigar in this blend. Let me tell you something.
• 25:27
  Thanks God for air B Air B is the the farmer the factory made
• 25:33
  in my cigar in Santiago Republica Dominicana and
• 25:37

• 31:35
  conversation and before you realize that you might have, you
• 31:38

• 48:54
  same blender. The Salamo coming in and and

  So there you have it. Listen, we have exquisite.
• 49:25
  Look, look, look. So he's got the the bundle of

  them. This is this is the bundle they
• 49:31
  sent to me. They don't have the Busters you
• 49:33
  know like the like the another one.
• 49:35
  You know this, this is a bundle and he sent to me 25 bundle and
• 49:42
  I don't want to get finished, you know.
• 49:45
  But. Not only me, I had to to smoke
• 49:51
  the cigars. You know many people and like I
• 49:53
  say, you know, I paid $85 for my cigar.
• 49:57
  Let me tell you something. I'm not going to smoke this
• 50:00
  cigar no more. You know the only way, the only
• 50:05
  way I can smoke this cigar is somebody told me girl, take it.
• 50:12
  But I'm not going to pay again. Last last year in my in my in my
• 50:17
  my birthday, I buy a Hennessy SO and I buy 2 cigars and I pay for
• 50:26
  one cigar $60.00 and then they want to pay $54.
• 50:29
  Let me tell you something I'm crazy for smoothie cigar.
• 50:34
  I pay 60 bucks and I don't leave it by Maduro for this cigar.
• 50:39
  Alright, then the next one, the next one, I want to say the name
• 50:44
  because I want to say something good about the cigar.
• 50:48
  Ceno Platino. If you got the opportunity, if
• 50:52
  you got the opportunity to a small Ceno Platino, I
• 50:56
  recommended cigar because it's really good, really good cigar.
• 51:02
  Another one, say the name because this one is the last
• 51:07
  time I'm smoking. The only way I can do smoking
• 51:09
  again, if you give it to me, that's it, no?
• 51:15
  No, Miguel said. If you give it to me, I smoked.
• 51:18
  Now let me ask you this 'cause I was wondering, as you were
• 51:21
  talking before about them. So are the gold blends and the
• 51:26
  silver blends the same binder and filler or are they
• 51:29
  different? The same.
• 51:32
  The only Shane is the wrapper. OK.
• 51:37
  The only chain in the in the line, the minute of cigar, the
• 51:40
  only chain is the wrapper is five different wrapper and one
• 51:43
  blender. Yes, but let me tell you
• 51:47
  something. Every cigar you smoke is a
• 51:49
  different experience. The Capote the the the filler.
• 51:55
  Give me a second. The the binder inside is a bano.
• 52:02
  You know the no matter what he was smoking, the Avano wrapper
• 52:08
  inside the vendor is a bano tube.
• 52:11
  If he was mother Kinetico, you know the inside binder is a bano
• 52:17
  tube, you know, plus the filler, the three pack inside, you know
• 52:24
  it's a it's a well, he was more right now.
• 52:27
  You know, when I go into some store to selling the difficult
• 52:30
  community for me, and I say that with respect, you know, it's
• 52:34
  nothing bad about the bringing the people don't smoke.
• 52:37
  You know, when somebody is small and not going to sell them my
• 52:41
  cigar, I say please smoke the cigar.
• 52:43
  You're small. I don't have to say nothing, you
• 52:46
  know? I.
• 52:47
  Don't want everybody smoke the cigar.
• 52:52
  I say, OK, give me some, give me, give me two bars and give me
• 52:54
  3, you know, because it's like that.
• 52:57
  But when I'm going to sell them to Indian community that you
• 53:01
  know, when US, the Indian community get every business and
• 53:06
  and, and try to get it all of that for us.
• 53:09
  Yep, yeah. And they enter in some business,
• 53:13
  they try to get the whole line. You don't want to know more body
• 53:16
  in the in the business. You want to try to the whole
• 53:18
  line, you know, And it's difficult because these people
• 53:22
  don't smoke, no. It's, it's true.
• 53:24
  They're, they own a lot of businesses between cigar
• 53:28
  lounges, smoke shops and everything, they own a lot of
• 53:30
  businesses and they're, they want everything.
• 53:33
  But this is, this is, and I noticed this any shop owner, a
• 53:37
  lot of the shop owners like they want you to bring your stuff in,
• 53:40
  but they want you to discount your stuff for them to bring it
• 53:42
  in. So Miguel, let me ask you this.
• 53:46
  So how can somebody buy A5 pack? They only have, can they?
• 53:53
  Can they order directly from you?
• 53:55
  Yeah, they have to call me. My, my, my phone is available,
• 53:59
  OK. And and my and my wife's page,
• 54:01
  they can communicate with me and I sent to the the the the cigar
• 54:07
  to any state. And I said to the Visa
• 54:11
  MasterCard, American a prayer, food stamps, everything that you
• 54:14
  have to pay. You said.
• 54:15
  Wait, you said. So so let.
• 54:19
  Me ask you let me. Ask you this, what is for
• 54:26
  everybody watching that wants to order?
• 54:29
  What is your price point on your cigars?
• 54:33
  OK, the cigar. The cigar is $13, the cigar $13
• 54:38
  if you buy. If you buy 5 cigar, I give it to
• 54:41
  you one free. So you get 6.
• 54:46
  Yes. Yeah, they can get six cigar.
• 54:49
  Yeah, and and I sent a pan open butter and car refreshing and I
• 54:56
  have it I have it a couple of a couple of gifts to to put it in
• 55:01
  the boxes. Do you know, and I know that
• 55:04
  people go and join the this cigar.
• 55:08
  I you know the I like draw. On your cigar.
• 55:12
  The draw on your cigar is excellent.
• 55:14
  This is good, thank you. And not 'cause he's not 'cause
• 55:18
  he's my guest, but this shit right here, fuck it on the money
• 55:23
  player. And then now so.
• 55:25
  You found Maduro. When you smoke the Maduro,
• 55:28
  you're going to be crazy. Then you're smoking.
• 55:31
  You're smoking the Habano. Well motherfucking feel free to
• 55:37
  say Maduro. So now being that, being that.
• 55:41
  So if they wanted to order a box, what would be the price of
• 55:44
  the box for people that are watching 'cause I know people
• 55:46
  like boxes instead of 5 packs. But if you calculate 13 by 20 to
• 55:51
  6 to the boxes, OK, that's OK. I, I, I that, yeah, but that's
• 55:59
  another price. I gave it to the person.
• 56:01
  I gave it to the person a better price, but I don't want to say.
• 56:07
  Right, right. You know.
• 56:08
  When the people call me, they can know the best price is the
• 56:13
  pain, how many boxes they wanted.
• 56:15
  You know, right, you have to say you want you buy one box.
• 56:20
  If you buy the ten boxes, you're going to get a really good
• 56:23
  price. If you get a two boxes, one
• 56:25
  boxes, you're going to get a better, better, better price.
• 56:28
  But if you calculate 13 by 20 is 260.
• 56:32
  You know, some people asking me like that and I so how much this
• 56:36
  order when I give it to the the discover?
• 56:41
  Yes. So now for to get your cigars in
• 56:47
  the shops, right, do you have a minimum order requirement that
• 56:51
  shops have to order or you know, 'cause I know some people want
• 56:56
  they take the whole line, some people only want you don't only
• 56:59
  do 1 box whatever. But normally we take it the
• 57:04
  whole line, the five bothered. But if the business wanted
• 57:10
  started with two or three, I don't have no problem because I
• 57:14
  stand in some time the situation is not there.
• 57:18
  Yep. What happened?
• 57:21
  To. Him, I don't know what happened
• 57:24
  to him. I have no idea.
• 57:25
  Stream, it might have been Stream Yard, his phone might
• 57:27
  have died, could have been any number of things, guys.
• 57:31
  Oh what the fuck? But in all seriousness though,
• 57:36
  this this cigar is. Beautiful pop back up.
• 57:40
  Here he is. But like I say, you know,
• 57:43
  sometimes and some people don't, it's the product is, is new
• 57:51
  product, right? When you got a new product, you
• 57:54
  know, the people I could try, you know, example this week I
• 57:59
  get a new store and the guy wanted only three boxes.
• 58:06
  And I said, listen, I'm going to give it, I'm going to give it to
• 58:08
  you the the five boxes so you can have it the whole line and
• 58:12
  pay me 3 today and next week you pay me the another 2.
• 58:16
  But so we'll. Go to chemist today.
• 58:18
  We'll, we'll, we'll put Maestro in there.
• 58:22
  Well, we'll give him the try one or we'll even when we order
• 58:27
  more, we'll bring him 1. He remember he's in the process
• 58:30
  of doing a lot right now. So the one shop we go to, he
• 58:35
  he's trying to move a lot of his older product out so he can
• 58:38
  bring in new stuff, but he's getting rid of stuff.
• 58:40
  So it's like I bring him stuff to try.
• 58:43
  Whenever he orders, he orders. So it's like he, he gets rid of
• 58:50
  some old stuff, he brings in new stuff, he might try new stuff,
• 58:53
  he may not bring anything in, who knows, But I will.
• 59:00
  I, I will do my best to bring you in there for sure.
• 59:03
  What? Time is.
• 59:05
  It yes, it's it's it's like that I'm I'm visiting one cigar lunch
• 59:10
  in Philly. I'm walking and I pass and from
• 59:16
  and I see the story. You know what I like it.
• 59:19
  This person don't have a family of brown name and he's humidor.
• 59:24
  They have the the cigar from people like me.
• 59:28
  They started now and that's good, you know, because you you
• 59:34
  give it the opportunity that people started right now when
• 59:36
  you have your name and your mark made it ready, everything
• 59:42
  running along but with you from the beginning by yourself, it's
• 59:47
  real high and. It is, it's very hard for the,
• 59:54
  the smaller boutique brands to get into some of these shops
• 59:58
  because I've, I'm trying to help a few of my former guests that
• 1:00:03
  I've had on and friends of mine get into some of these shops.
• 1:00:07
  And it's, it's not, especially in New York, it's not easy,
• 1:00:10
  especially with the 75% tax and everything else.
• 1:00:13
  It's not. It's not that easy at all.
• 1:00:16
  Yeah, yeah, New York, it's. Very difficult.
• 1:00:20
  Yeah, New York is bigger city, biggest state, you know, to the
• 1:00:25
  smoking fan. Yeah.
• 1:00:27
  Yo, I'm from New York, I'm from the Bronx, but I don't have it.
• 1:00:30
  No, nothing in New York already yet, but I'm trying to, I'm
• 1:00:35
  trying to cover my state 1st and I'm not close to a start away in
• 1:00:41
  another area. You know, somebody right,
• 1:00:44
  contacted me about Instagram, you know, somebody I don't know
• 1:00:50
  and they want to work and I think it's in Florida.
• 1:00:54
  Yeah, Florida. But we talking about that about
• 1:00:58
  what to see what's going on, you know, yes.
• 1:01:02
  But now I'm trying to cover my, my, my state, my area because
• 1:01:09
  here PA is so bigger. And later we can continue.
• 1:01:14
  Yeah. But with the opportunity opening
• 1:01:16
  today, I take it because I want, the only thing I want to do is I
• 1:01:20
  want to, I want to share my cigar and I want to everybody
• 1:01:24
  enjoying what I'm enjoying every day when I'm smoke, you know,
• 1:01:28
  and I like smoke my cigar every single day because the real
• 1:01:34
  smoker don't like smoke a cigar every day.
• 1:01:36
  You know, I heard something funny, but my wife don't
• 1:01:40
  understand that. Why if I have a three hundred
• 1:01:43
  300 cigar in my humidor, I'm going to the store to buy
• 1:01:47
  another cigar because I want to. I want to.
• 1:01:50
  I want to enjoy a different blender, you know?
• 1:01:53
  And and not only that, you know, it's, it's because I've asked
• 1:01:56
  this question for a lot of people, but you already answered
• 1:01:58
  it without having to ask it, you know, about smoking, other
• 1:02:02
  brands and other question. What is the question?
• 1:02:04
  You answered it because a lot of people don't understand that to
• 1:02:08
  be a good cigar manufacturer or cigar blender, you have to smoke
• 1:02:14
  everybody else's product to know what's on the market.
• 1:02:18
  Yes, yes. And that's the question that we
• 1:02:20
  normally ask everybody, but you answered it before I could, I
• 1:02:25
  could get to that question because you said you go out and
• 1:02:28
  you buy cigars from, you know, maybe Placencia and and Drew
• 1:02:32
  Estate in Perdomo. And you know, let me tell.
• 1:02:35
  You let me tell you. Something Monte Cristo and all
• 1:02:37
  that, because you got to smoke what's out there.
• 1:02:42
  Let me tell you something. Let me I'm not taking it out of
• 1:02:47
  the bus. This is a vice cigar that I'm
• 1:02:54
  buying. Just Friday.
• 1:03:00
  You know why? No Friday, No Thursday.
• 1:03:02
  I have a fraud Dominicana here. I have AI have a 2 brown name.
• 1:03:08
  I'm 3 and I have a one. I'm never smoking and I want to
• 1:03:15
  try this one, you know, because that's what we have to do.
• 1:03:17
  You know. I have a cigarette in my human
• 1:03:19
  though I'm going outside to try to a small different 1, you
• 1:03:24
  know? And that's, that's what
• 1:03:26
  everybody, that's what everybody says is they, they go out and
• 1:03:28
  buy like you, they go buy boxes or they go buy 5 packs or go
• 1:03:31
  pick up different cigars because they want to, they want to smoke
• 1:03:35
  something different that's not theirs.
• 1:03:37
  But they also need to know what's on the market so that you
• 1:03:40
  may not recreate something that somebody already has.
• 1:03:44
  Yes, yes, right, right here. I have a three humidor.
• 1:03:48
  I have the the business humidor. They take it like a like a 3000
• 1:03:53
  cigar. They have another one right
• 1:03:56
  there. Let's take 150 and I have the
• 1:04:02
  little one right here. The little one is the master
• 1:04:04
  secret because let me show you. You see that this is the cup of
• 1:04:33
  rum. I put it inside when I'm small,
• 1:04:35
  my cigar. They have a 5 four day one week
• 1:04:38
  right there. It's ready marinate and the
• 1:04:42
  label is really good. You know, and right now I'm
• 1:04:45
  trying out different, different role.
• 1:04:47
  Normally I put a legend, a Brugal agenda, but I don't have
• 1:04:51
  it right now. But if somebody give me I put it
• 1:04:56
  right here in my gap. Somebody give me this.
• 1:05:02
  This one is the the Mama Juana ready made it.
• 1:05:05
  I have a but this is the one room coming ready.
• 1:05:09
  Mama Juana and the party give it to me and I put it and I put it
• 1:05:15
  right here to middle. And let me tell you something.
• 1:05:18
  The flavor is incredible, man. I'm Marina right there and it's
• 1:05:23
  really good. Continue.
• 1:05:25
  This is the buses at the minute, the cigar.
• 1:05:29
  This is the bus. This 57 by C is 20 total and let
• 1:05:38
  me show you how they look when you opening.
• 1:05:43
  You're going to see it like that.
• 1:05:45
  I like that. They have the paper.
• 1:05:48
  Yeah, they have the paper. Remove the paper right there and
• 1:05:53
  the cigar is right there. You know, they come in like
• 1:05:56
  that, this good presentation, you know, and it's coming much
• 1:06:01
  better now. It's very simple and sometimes
• 1:06:07
  the over the the crazy boxes are good, but you know, sometimes
• 1:06:11
  those simple boxes just like yours or you know, we
• 1:06:15
  interviewed somebody else El Papuro cigars.
• 1:06:18
  His box was the same thing. It just had his logo in the
• 1:06:22
  middle of the box inside. Very simple, you know, very, I
• 1:06:27
  would say sleek and you know, very kind of just, you know, the
• 1:06:31
  cigar is going to speak for for itself.
• 1:06:35
  Yes, look at this. You said this cigar, this cigar
• 1:06:40
  don't have a ring. Nope.
• 1:06:42
  This cigar, this cigar don't have a ring, look, don't have a
• 1:06:46
  labor. You see, this cigar is Maduro.
• 1:06:51
  It's one that my favorite that that my favorite one.
• 1:06:55
  The buses is very simple. The price is less than my cigar.
• 1:07:03
  And let me tell you something, this cigar is amazing cigar, you
• 1:07:09
  know, and sometimes you see at night buses, you know what the
• 1:07:14
  presentation, the cigar I pay $85 is enough for pay $85 if I
• 1:07:20
  pay $200 only with the presentation.
• 1:07:24
  But let me tell you something, the experience I have with this
• 1:07:29
  cigar, and I said the cigar is bad.
• 1:07:30
  I said my personal experience. Was was not good.
• 1:07:35
  It's not, it's not the one I'm wearing, you know, but and
• 1:07:39
  sometimes you see one cigar, you don't like it.
• 1:07:41
  The label. I'm not married with any label.
• 1:07:44
  I'm not married with any label, you know, and I saw some label
• 1:07:49
  and sometimes and I say, listen, let me close the human.
• 1:07:52
  I'm sorry. And now, like I said, I'm not
• 1:08:05
  married with any with any label because, and sometimes do you
• 1:08:10
  see the label is really nice from Hollywood.
• 1:08:13
  When you smoke the cigar, the spending you want to have is not
• 1:08:17
  the right one. You know, sometimes you sell one
• 1:08:21
  cigar. We see, look at that example.
• 1:08:26
  I don't know. I don't know if you was more
• 1:08:27
  sometime in the lift by Oscar. By yes, By Oscar, Absolutely.
• 1:08:33
  It's a great cigar. You.
• 1:08:34
  Wanted something most. You wanted something more simple
• 1:08:36
  than that one. And you know what?
• 1:08:38
  It's a secret. I don't know if you know that.
• 1:08:41
  Do you know the lift? The lift, The one coming and the
• 1:08:46
  lift? You know this cigar?
• 1:08:49
  You don't need to remove the ring.
• 1:08:52
  No, you can smoke the ring. You can smoke the ring because
• 1:08:56
  they made it with the with with with the lead part, you know?
• 1:08:59
  I I did know that because. Gloria.
• 1:09:02
  Cubana did that at one point too, a long time ago.
• 1:09:05
  They did the same thing where you could smoke right through
• 1:09:07
  the ring. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:09:15
  Very cheaper, you know, and that's what I said.
• 1:09:20
  I love the word of cigar because no matter what is do you like
• 1:09:27
  it? You can find the mean.
• 1:09:33
  You know what I said to my wife? I told my wife the problem is
• 1:09:39
  not the money, the problem is the time.
• 1:09:45
  We don't have the time to enjoy and smoke the every cigar around
• 1:09:51
  the world. We look at that when the church
• 1:09:55
  started small around the 20 years old, they say he is small
• 1:10:00
  11 cigar on a day from 20 years old to the day he died.
• 1:10:07
  They they calculate they smoke around 300,000 cigar in his
• 1:10:13
  life. That's crazy.
• 1:10:16
  Because he has bought every single day 11 cigar, you know.
• 1:10:20
  I don't think I could do. I don't think I could do 11
• 1:10:23
  cigars a day. I'm lucky sometimes if I get 4,
• 1:10:26
  maybe 5. Yeah, but like I said, the
• 1:10:31
  problem is not the score or the price of cigar.
• 1:10:34
  The problem is your time, right? You have to work, man.
• 1:10:39
  You have a family, you know, and sometimes I have to stop the
• 1:10:42
  smoke my cigar to do something with my wife or my, or my
• 1:10:45
  family, you know, And sometimes I'm coming from my work and I'm
• 1:10:50
  running to, to sit down, you know, because minimum, minimum
• 1:10:55
  on a day I need a small one cigar.
• 1:10:57
  At least one that's that's usually what I say is at least
• 1:11:00
  one. Yeah, the least one I need it
• 1:11:03
  because I have AI have a one personal opinion.
• 1:11:07
  I said the man working a 12, 18 hour, the the, the time you you
• 1:11:13
  work, no matter why it's one hour and you don't have a break
• 1:11:18
  at 30 minutes, you know to sit down, relax, drinking one.
• 1:11:22
  Beer one. Drink you like it and got your
• 1:11:24
  cigar. You the people more poor in the
• 1:11:28
  life. We can walk here at the air,
• 1:11:31
  Yeah. And that's, you know, and even
• 1:11:34
  that one hour that you just sit down and just relax sometimes is
• 1:11:39
  all you need. This is my therapy.
• 1:11:43
  Yeah, this is my therapy. I I can say nothing and this is
• 1:11:46
  this is my therapy. You know, I go to the cigar
• 1:11:48
  lounge. I have a one cigar lounge here
• 1:11:51
  the people can see now from from Reading, PA.
• 1:11:54
  I recommend them is the 559 Pink Ave.
• 1:11:56
  Legacy Cigar lounge. This is my friend Rick Turner
• 1:12:00
  and Adrian Turner. This the owner is very good
• 1:12:02
  place fancy. They have a member.
• 1:12:05
  They have a nice humido. I'm smoking over there.
• 1:12:08
  You know what I do when I'm finish my job, I'm going over
• 1:12:12
  there to the cigar lounge. I'm going to my locker.
• 1:12:15
  I get my cigar. I have it right there and I play
• 1:12:19
  a little bit dark with my friend.
• 1:12:20
  We're talking and and and returning the owner and enjoy
• 1:12:25
  and later go to my house, you know, take it back, get my full,
• 1:12:31
  you know, talk with my wife, watch them to be and ready to
• 1:12:35
  asleep to receive it the next day.
• 1:12:37
  You know exactly you have to. You have to enjoy every single
• 1:12:41
  day because you don't know the day you leave it right now is
• 1:12:44
  the last one. Exactly.
• 1:12:46
  And that's, you know, that's what a lot of people, they get
• 1:12:50
  it, but at the same time they don't because some people, you
• 1:12:52
  know, I don't have time to smoke during that.
• 1:12:54
  I said, well, you know, like me, I have a break in between my,
• 1:12:58
  the, my morning and afternoon shift because I do a couple
• 1:13:03
  hours in the morning and a couple hours in the, in the
• 1:13:06
  afternoon and I have a driving, I, I, yeah, I work for the, I
• 1:13:10
  work for the schools. The school bus drive.
• 1:13:13
  I know my wife does this too. So I have like a four hour
• 1:13:16
  break. So sometimes I might have a
• 1:13:18
  cigar, then yeah, yeah, yeah, I might have one then just, you
• 1:13:22
  know, just to unwind. Or sometimes I'll even take a
• 1:13:25
  nap during that time. Yeah.
• 1:13:27
  And then when I get home, I don't.
• 1:13:28
  Like it? I don't like it like that, a
• 1:13:32
  small to go to war again. I like to do it when I'm done.
• 1:13:36
  Because I. Know I don't have to I don't
• 1:13:38
  have to do nothing I'll. You know what, sometimes I I
• 1:13:41
  take that middle of the day to take to smoke at least a small
• 1:13:44
  one just to unwind myself from the morning.
• 1:13:50
  Or I'll take a nap and then like you said, I'll, when I come home
• 1:13:52
  it, you know, 4435 o'clock when I'm done, that's when I'll sit
• 1:13:59
  down and I'll, I'll smoke my cigar and, and I'll relax for a
• 1:14:02
  few hours. I might have two, maybe 3
• 1:14:04
  depending on, you know, the size of the cigar.
• 1:14:08
  Yeah, yes. You know what?
• 1:14:10
  I'm trying to do a something like that too.
• 1:14:14
  This is another blended man. No, Labor isn't producing, you
• 1:14:21
  know. Is that a?
• 1:14:22
  Is that a Robuso? Yeah, no, I think it's much more
• 1:14:27
  the robust, OK, like a little robust, yeah, but it not too the
• 1:14:33
  ring is not too big. You know Bob, I think you do
• 1:14:37
  something like that, you know when you don't have no time.
• 1:14:39
  This is like a 20 minute you know and I'm walking with that.
• 1:14:44
  It's really good. I receive only 10 and I like the
• 1:14:52
  the the blender. But you know what I like the
• 1:14:55
  time they take me. It's not the man too much time
• 1:14:59
  from me, you know, and one side like that.
• 1:15:04
  I can smoke this one go to work. I do a couple of times last week
• 1:15:11
  and it's not it's not bad because when when I'm relaxed, I
• 1:15:14
  want to stay relaxed. You know I want to.
• 1:15:17
  Yes, I don't want to go back to war, you know, no way is it like
• 1:15:22
  no, I when I'm when I'm drinking something, I'm not working no
• 1:15:25
  more. Yeah, no, I, I'm usually the
• 1:15:29
  same way. At my, most of my smoking is
• 1:15:31
  done after work. I try to get one in sometimes
• 1:15:35
  early in the day, but most of the time it's done after I'm off
• 1:15:39
  the clock. I'm like, I'm not, I'm not going
• 1:15:41
  anywhere. I'm not doing nothing.
• 1:15:43
  I'm going to sit down and have a cigar.
• 1:15:45
  Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is my my one part of my
• 1:15:52
  dream is a living in in some area don't have a winter like
• 1:16:01
  here, you know, and I told you my country probably Florida, you
• 1:16:07
  know, or something close to Florida.
• 1:16:10
  Yeah, but because it's good when you can go out when, when the
• 1:16:16
  winter is is is on. Yo, if I'm smoking right there
• 1:16:22
  in my garage, I put I have to have the, the the door close and
• 1:16:27
  my heater. Oh, you know, when inside I had
• 1:16:33
  to open it the smoke it out and close again.
• 1:16:37
  Yeah, that last year we the cigar I used.
• 1:16:40
  To Boston and join right you. Know last year we took this past
• 1:16:44
  winter, we bought tarps and our back porch, we put tarps up to
• 1:16:49
  try to block some of the cold air so that we could smoke
• 1:16:51
  outside. It worked.
• 1:16:53
  It worked. It just we didn't do the, we
• 1:16:57
  didn't do the whole bottom. So there was still the cold air
• 1:16:59
  coming in, but you know, rather than sit out there and be cold
• 1:17:04
  the whole time, we at least were able to, you know, combat most
• 1:17:09
  of it by putting up the, the heavier tarps and, and putting
• 1:17:13
  the a little heater out there while we smoked.
• 1:17:15
  And we bought 2 heaters. We had the the mini propane
• 1:17:18
  heater, the 1 LB propane tank heater.
• 1:17:20
  And then we had an electric 1 and it worked.
• 1:17:23
  I mean it, it did what it was supposed to do for sure.
• 1:17:27
  Yeah, yeah. I, I, I put in my go.
• 1:17:30
  I, I went on the mail. There's no, I have a picture and
• 1:17:33
  video, you know, with some. No, I'm, I'm smoking.
• 1:17:36
  I don't have no problem. You know, I put in my clothes
• 1:17:39
  for the weather. Yeah, that's, that's what I did.
• 1:17:42
  I used to put on, if it was that cold, I'd put a hoodie and a
• 1:17:44
  jacket on. I'd put my hat on my slippers
• 1:17:47
  with my my socks and and I'd wear a pair of sweatpants and
• 1:17:50
  I'd go sit out there and I may not be out there for 3-4 hours,
• 1:17:54
  but maybe an hour, maybe 2. And then I was inside and I was
• 1:17:58
  done. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
• 1:18:02
  yes. I remove my my snow and clean my
• 1:18:05
  yard, smoking my cigar. You don't care about my my dream
• 1:18:10
  is that is that, you know, I want to I want to live in some
• 1:18:14
  place. I can smoke the cigar anytime,
• 1:18:16
  you know, if I would go to and I want to smoke the cigar.
• 1:18:19
  I'm not worried for the weather. You know, I can't get out to the
• 1:18:21
  porch and sit down and smoke my cigar.
• 1:18:24
  You know, Bob, this is the the life to this monkey about.
• 1:18:28
  Like I said, I don't know if it's ready, man.
• 1:18:30
  It's one hour, 20 minute. Yeah, we're, we're getting to
• 1:18:33
  the end of it. We're we're winding down for the
• 1:18:36
  last 10 minutes. I mean, we've pretty much I
• 1:18:40
  think covered it all. Yeah, I think we've pretty much.
• 1:18:45
  We've covered just about everything I can think of so far
• 1:18:48
  because you, you've been, you've answered just about everything.
• 1:18:52
  And, and you know, it's more for you for people to hear you talk
• 1:18:55
  and learn about your brand and hear your passion for your
• 1:18:58
  cigars and, and all the time you put into it.
• 1:19:00
  Because sometimes I feel even though you smoke the cigar, you
• 1:19:05
  don't. You don't get the person's
• 1:19:06
  passion unless you have a conversation with them.
• 1:19:10
  Yeah, I appreciate the the the opportunity, man.
• 1:19:15
  Thank you very much. I'm yes, Thank you.

• 1:19:53

• 1:20:33
  is my favorite 1. You know the people asking me
• 1:20:36
  many times what is your favorite one?
• 1:20:39
  And everyone is selling good, every cigar is good because the
• 1:20:48
  people want to compare my paladar with the paladar.
• 1:20:51
  He got it. Everybody have a different
• 1:20:54
  paladar. I have a one friend listen to
• 1:20:56
  listen to me and a single and I have a one friend.
• 1:21:00
  He told me don't show me any cigar and try to introduce him
• 1:21:04
  to another mark and another and another blender and he don't
• 1:21:07
  want it. He don't want it.
• 1:21:12
  He told me no. When I give it to him some cigar
• 1:21:15
  different and he have found the the same thing he found when he
• 1:21:20
  smoked my cigar. He told me it's your fault.
• 1:21:22
  He's supposed to pay for the cigar.
• 1:21:24
  I'm not going to pay for the cigar.
• 1:21:26
  Leave me with the minister cigar.
• 1:21:28
  And I say, OK, no problem, man, for you, if you want to, if you
• 1:21:33
  want to enter in this war, he's a he.
• 1:21:36
  He is a new smoker. You know, if you want to do
• 1:21:39

• 1:22:12
  opportunity to smoke one cigar for the rest of your life in
• 1:22:15
  this island, what is your cigar you prefer to smoke?
• 1:22:19
  And every blender, everybody answered the question.
• 1:22:22
  I wanted this one. I wanted this one, I wanted this
• 1:22:24
  one. And he's quiet.
• 1:22:28
  He said the Dominican blender don't respond and he do the
• 1:22:33
  question two more time and he doesn't respond the third time
