- 5:12> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin That's right.
- 5:14> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Uh, well, uh, the rest of us had the chance to smoke these cigars in advance. Um, but Barger used, uh, Barger time. And he smoked, uh, it in the truck, uh, while he was sitting in the parking lot. Maybe, uh, three minutes before we turned the mics on. Uh, our production room is currently filled with smoke from all six tickets at once.
- 5:35> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>All six sticks. Uh, once.
- 5:38> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Uh, and they're all Bargers. Yeah, because we all smoked them ahead of time. Kind of like a locker room for 14 year olds. Discover an Axe body spray after gym class.

- 6:01> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>The beaver nuggets.
- 6:04> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin
- 6:07> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Great TV show, by the way.
- 6:10> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin high. So let me tell you more about stg. They are big. Like really big.
- 6:19> Good ol’ Boy Barker>How big are they big, are they?
- 6:23> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin machine that gobbles up tobacco related companies globally. Like 16 different companies and thus quite different brands. We're going, we're going to be rather light on the brand background for the sake of time. SCG, um, contains about 200 leading brands including cigars brands, Macanudo, Lagoria, La Gloria, Cubano, Pantor, Signature and La Paz.
- 6:53> Good ol’ Boy Barker>They make over 2.5 billion cigars every year.
- 6:57> Good ol’ Boy Barker>They also do particus room 101.
- 6:59> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin
- 7:02> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Like big.
- 7:03> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Like, like big.
- 7:04> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin
- 7:05> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Maybe Robert should have taken little words one and two.
- 7:07> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Punch egg roll.
- 7:11> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Put your pants on, Rich.
- 7:12> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin tell us about the egg.
- 7:16> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin the European Puppet show character Mr. Punch back in 1840. I bet you that was hilarious, dude.
- 7:26> Good ol’ Boy Barker>I actually bet it was funny.
- 7:28> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin typical Cuban brand story. They made great cigars and then it all changed. Typical Cuban, right.
- 7:39> Good ol’ Boy Barker>They continue to make cigars in Cuba for the global market and the US Domestic brands migrated to Honduras. So not all Punch cigars are created equal. The egg roll is a limited production from General Cigar sdg. The packaging and branding is a playful reminder. Reminder to ch. Chinese takeout as the box is a Chinese takeout container. Love that they released this, uh, just recently and sorry, I'm not going to get used to that.
- 8:09> Good ol’ Boy Barker>That's like that number four rating we got with the magnificent.
- 8:13> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin to that one.
- 8:16> Good ol’ Boy Barker>I mean this cigar is not going to get that rating, but so keep going.
- 8:19> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin 26. The Egg Roll XL. The return of the egg roll.
- 8:26> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Bigger and better than ever. It's wrapper is a Connecticut broadleaf. The binder is Ecuadorian.
- 8:32> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Filler is Colombian, Dominican, uh, Mexican and American. And let me tell you something. This thing, this thing is big. It's a big cigar.
- 8:42> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Man, I really tried to smoke this cigar yesterday.
- 8:45> Good ol’ Boy Barker>You did? I really did.
- 8:48> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>And by yesterday you mean in the parking lot?
- 8:50> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin
- 8:53> Good ol’ Boy Barker>I think the bigger ring gauge and the longer the cigar did not do it justice. I think these flavors blend great together, but not in that size format.
- 9:05> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin better rating had it not been a, uh, six by 60.
- 9:09> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah, yeah, 100. This thing, I mean, I don't know I know that the bigger cigars was kind of a thing for a while I thought they had kind of gone
- 9:18> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>away, but still a thing, I think
- 9:20> Good ol’ Boy Barker>like a Filipino egg roll or a lumpia or something, you know, Tom.
- 9:23> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Yeah, yeah.
- 9:23> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Like, a smaller size would have done these flavors. Absolutely brilliant.
- 9:28> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Spring roll.
- 9:29> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Correct, Correct. Like a, um, half the size that it was. Because, one, I had draw issues from the start, you know, I didn't have any draw issues.
- 9:39> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Did you guys also notice that it's. It's kind of a square box press cigar? It doesn't.
- 9:47> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Well, mine was in, like, when I rolled it in my hand, it lumped around. Like.
- 9:54> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin No, no, no, no, no. It was in my front pocket. Um, but it was, you know, was really different. And it seemed like they tried to do, like, a softbox press almost on it, but maybe it was from the packaging.
- 10:09> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin didn't go all the way to the end of the, uh, cigar?
- 10:16> Good ol’ Boy Barker>No.
- 10:16> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Oh, the point.
- 10:20> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin
- 10:22> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>It's supposed to represent, uh, the cabbage in an egg roll.
- 10:25> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah.
- 10:26> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Uh, it's a thing.
- 10:28> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah.
- 10:28> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Asian. Asians. Yeah. But what. I mean, what do we think we're going to give this cigar rating wise?
- 10:41> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Uh, I guess we're gonna go with a three. Some people enjoyed it. Who enjoyed it. I mean, you know, get out.
- 10:50> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin I'm kidding. We'll be right back after these messages. Hey, welcome back to Sip, Suds and Smokes. I hope you enjoyed those commercial breaks. We just went over the punch egg roll. Some of us need our eyes checked. Um, we gave it a three. So here's my complaint about this cigar, amongst some other things, but, like, the size.
- 11:20> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>I thought Mike was off the mic today.
- 11:22> Good ol’ Boy Barker>No, no, he's on. He's on. But the size of this cigar, it did not smoke how it should have. And the shaggy foot. I had to relight this cigar three times before I got through the foot.
- 11:35> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin it supposed to light better? I don't know, like, carrot tops.
- 11:41> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Hair is an aesthetic thing, okay. It is an, uh, odd egg roll.
- 11:45> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin band?
- 11:48> Good ol’ Boy Barker>I did not. What did your fortune say? Get a job, loser. Yeah.
- 11:52> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin you go.
- 11:55> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Never. Rick roll.
- 11:56> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Oh, there you go. What'd you get?
- 11:58> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin laziness. Like, laziness pays off better now. And I was like, oh, okay, so I'll be lazy.
- 12:05> Good ol’ Boy Barker>So that's a very hot take. All right, well, moving on. Uh, again, go out there and try these cigars for yourself, folks. Don't take our word for it.
- 12:17> Good ol’ Boy Barker>We're just radio personalities here. Benjamin, what do you got on the Cohiba?
- 12:21> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Well, uh, what I have here is that Kahiba. It's all fake. There. I said it quickly, like ripping off a band aid.
- 12:28> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah.
- 12:28> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Ritz. And repeat that Cuban brand storyline.
- 12:30> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Except this time the brand migrated to the Dominican or Republic salsa.
- 12:40> Good ol’ Boy Barker>We're all vibing to this.
- 12:41> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>It's said you have truly created something iconic when people begin ripping you off. Even the show has experienced our fair bit of counterfeiting.
- 12:48> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Although there can only be one barger.
- 12:51> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin A common comment is that there are four fake Cohibas for every authentic Cohiba stick. The, uh, Cohiba C Glow 6 cigar is easily one of the top five most popular cigars globally. The Rubicons blend features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, an American broadleaf binder, and a quartet of fillers. Dominican Piloto Honduran tobaccos from Lion Throtta and the Yamashtran Valley, and Nicaraguan tobacco from Esteli. It is made at Stg, uh, Donley and Honduras and offered in these three sizes. The box press rotor busto at five and a half by 55, the toro by at six by 54, and the gigante at, uh, six by 60. It's a targeted value by. By price point to give people something to try beyond chasing those elusive Siglo 6 cigars.
- 13:51> Good ol’ Boy Barker>I believe we smoked the Toro in this.
- 13:54> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Yeah, it was box press. That's right. Um, fantastic.
- 14:02> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin I really wanted to hate the cigar. I mean, I still hate it, like, I mean, just on general purpose.
- 14:10> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Well, I can hate on it for being a Cohiba, but, like, I'll. I would buy the cigar.
- 14:15> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Like, I will smoke this cigar again.
- 14:17> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin have it priced is.
- 14:21> Good ol’ Boy Barker>I mean, so I think this is lowest price point.
- 14:25> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Absolutely. But I think this is part of that. I, uh, know they're not rebranding, but in my opinion, it's rebranding.
- 14:30> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin They're here expanding their market. Yeah, they're expanding that new market into that everyday smoker buyer. You know, some. Someone to be more Obtainable for the everyday person. And I think that is fantastic. You know, and then they, they released the M M series last year too. I believe it was in the blue box, the limit, the LE product that we got. And those were fantastic too. And then the year before that, they did the, uh, the LE with that basketball player with the, uh, the gold band.
- 14:59> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Yeah, you did. You were there. Um, but anyway, it was, it was really good too. The only thing that.
- 15:08> Good ol’ Boy Barker>One of the things. Yeah, you were there.
- 15:10> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin One of the things that I've noticed about talk to my attorney Cohiba is that. And this could just be my opinion, but when I smoke Cohiba, like, we all know that wrappers are thin, right?
- 15:25> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Biggie Smalls.
- 15:27> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right.
- 15:30> Good ol’ Boy Barker>But the, it's almost like the, the wrappers that Cohiba's put on their cigars are thinner and they, they, they break open easier and they have like, they're more easier, susceptible to damage and, and I don't know if that's just a manufacturing deal or they. I don't know how they do it. Maybe they stretch the leave. I don't know. Could just be my imagination.
- 15:52> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin
- 15:53> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Definitely your imagination.
- 15:54> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Leaf stretcher. Ah, leafs. But anyway, stop trying to lie with your feet. Yeah.
- 15:59> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Cohiba also had Mike moan research. One of Mike's top five was the Beheki, right? The Mahekee 24 or whatever it was. Whatever he gets his hands on in Cuba. Anyway, those are okay, I've had them.
- 16:13> Good ol’ Boy Barker>They're not bad. But anyway, so what, what are we going to rate this cigar at? We're gonna give it a four. Nice. Magnificent. I was wrong. That rating is in this episode today. So I'm gonna go over the cao. Uh, Flathead Speed Shop Habano. There's plenty of background on CAO in another episode.
- 16:48> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Uh, but quick summary of Jean O creates an amazing brand, including the iconic Flathead, which I think is one of John Huber's first blends. Uh, they chased the rainbow with general cigars and got sucked into STG machine. This is the newest installment called CAO Flathead Speed Shop Habano.
- 17:09> Good ol’ Boy Barker>And the name suggests it uses a Habano seed wrapper, one grown in Ecuador. Underneath that is a Mexican San Andreas binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Marketing materials say that the cigar was built for cigar lovers who wants more refined ride while staying true to the Flathead's bold attitude. Someone passed me a bucket filled with Central American sunshine and a little happy, happy joy Joy,>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin That was one of my favorite songs as a kid. But like most CAO, it's made STG, uh, at, uh. It's made at STG Estali in Nicaragua. It's offered in three vitolas. It's got the, uh, the V654 crankshaft, the V660 carb, and the Habano big block. That's 77 by 77 by 70.
- 18:01> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin
- 18:04> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Oh, compensating. For sure.
- 18:06> Good ol’ Boy Barker>We got the. The. The carb. Right. The 66 by 60.
- 18:14> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Anyone have it in their notes there? I. I think we got the six by 60.
- 18:18> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>I thought it was a crankshaft.
- 18:20> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Okay, the six and a half by 54.
- 18:22> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Correct.
- 18:22> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Okay, well, we got the crankshaft. All three sizes have engine theme name. With General Cigar Company saying the six by the six and a half by 54 is the new one for the Flathead brand. Um, I already feel like I have engine dirt under my fingernails before it was lit.
- 18:39> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>I do.
- 18:39> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Uh, yeah, you do. And I probably did too, at some point. Listen, I liked it.
- 18:49> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>The first time I ever smoked this, I was. It was given to me by like a complete stranger in a cigar shop that I had struck up a conversation with. And I was like, ah, okay, here we go. Um, Pleasantly surprised. Yeah, pleasantly surprised. And was.
- 19:07> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>And was excited to revisit.
- 19:09> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Didn't really excite me at all, to be honest with you. I didn't really compel me to revisit it.
- 19:17> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Didn't rev your engine, Rich.
- 19:19> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Oh, man. Rev it, huh? I smoked this thing to completion. Oh, chill, dude. And, uh, it was. It was awesome. I liked it.
- 19:31> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin I've smoked a few of these in the past. I've enjoyed them. I mean, there's. It's. It's not a memorable cigar, but it's not. It's not something I'm going to pass on.
- 19:42> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Well, we'll be right back with the rating on the Flathead Speed Shop Habano. And we're back. Thank you for those ads. We were talking about the CAO Flathead Speed Shop Haban. And we haven't yet got to the rating part, but just before we get there, you guys remember when the Speed Shop series came out, right? And, uh, they were all different color bands, like red and blue, and I
- 20:14> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>think it's the Flathead series.
- 20:15> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Is that the Flathead series? Yeah. I couldn't remember if it was a Flathead series or Speed Shop series or Speed Shop.
- 20:21> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Steel Horse.
- 20:22> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah, yeah, yeah. But man, they. I, I kind of.
- 20:27> Good ol’ Boy Barker>That was. Those were. Yep. Words coming out of my mouth
- 20:32> Announcer>sound,
- 20:32> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>uh, like a Flathead.
- 20:33> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah. I know it. Right. Those were the days when the Flathead first came out, I believe was during the transition from CAO being an independent to CAO. CAO being under SDG's umbrella. Um, because they hit the ground marketing that thing like a bandit. They had all the ashtrays, all the signs, all the everything in the shops. And it was just crazy. But I remember being good cigars, you know, I did not not like those cigars. Which is same with this one. So, uh, what, what are we thinking rating wise? We're gonna go with a three. I got outvoted on that island.
- 21:17> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Yeah. I like how we put our numbers up and then Barger pulls a number just out of thin air.
- 21:22> Good ol’ Boy Barker>You all did three, I did four.
- 21:25> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin This time I'll start to register a complete. I'll start putting my fingers up first then. That's what. All right, Robert, tell us about the, uh, CAO stoke.
- 21:38> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin collaboration with Pete, uh, Peter Stokeby uh, pipe tobacco. Which makes sense considering that both CEO and Peter Stoke be are owned by um, stg.
- 21:51> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Blend wise, the, uh, co Arcana stoke is made from an American broadleaf wrapper over a Nicaragua binder. However, the filler blend is actually divided into two parts. The first half features Dominican and duo tobaccos and the second half uses Cyprin Latakia, a fire cured tobacco used in pipelines. In addition, there's some Honduran tobacco used throughout the filler and the cigars made in the uh, STG Estelle factory, uh, or farms, whatever it is. So this is where I kind of get about this cigar. 80% of the cigar is covered by light IKEA. No, by, uh, a band.
- 22:33> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Oh. Yeah. So I wish to register a complete.
- 22:38> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>The bigger the band, the better the smoke.
- 22:40> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Right. We had an episode about that. Yeah.
- 22:42> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin about a minute to get this band off the cigar.
- 22:48> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Had to heat it up, get the glue loose.
- 22:50> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin It was on there. Pretty secure.
- 22:55> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Oh, shots fired.
- 22:56> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin the way. So. So they describe this as a limited series release with 70k cigars. Um, which is Kind of crazy, since that's more than some bands, uh, brands produce in a life, in the whole run of a cigar.
- 23:11> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah.
- 23:12> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin eighth by 50. The fire walker six and a half by 56. The thundersmoke six and a half by 52. And the stoke six by 52.
- 23:27> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yep.
- 23:27> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin band, I, I, I it. When I see a big band on the cigar, I hate big bands. And I cannot lie.
- 23:39> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Oh, God.
- 23:40> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin
- 23:41> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Stop it.
- 23:42> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin I lit it up, it wasn't bad. And when it transitions into that pipe tobacco, it's really kind of a different thing. I enjoyed it on that.
- 23:53> Good ol’ Boy Barker>The Latakia is really nice.
- 23:55> Good ol’ Boy Barker>So I didn't hate it, but it kind of falls into that Kentucky Fire Cured.
- 24:02> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Yeah. I mean, okay, so like, even like, uh, Remember the Nika Rustica? Yeah. You know, it kind of in that same kind of vein. You got a little burly or whatever is in there. Something to just punch you in the face with that pipe tobacco. It works. It was subtle in the stoke, which I liked it that it was subtle and not overpowering.
- 24:25> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Yeah, I was, too. And then as soon as I smoked it, I was like, you know what? I can, I can deal with this. This is. Okay. Um, the retro on it was interesting to say the least.
- 24:38> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Um, man. Kind of Bernie, kind of that, that, that pipe tobacco really, really stood out in the nostrils. Yeah.
- 24:47> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Yeah. So, um, but when we had the arcana Stoke.
- 24:52> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Right. Six by 52.
- 24:53> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Is that right? And, uh, man, just the bands.
- 24:56> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Yeah. The band was 7. Let's see. That goes like.
- 25:02> Good ol’ Boy Barker>We have another episode where we talked about branding. Uh, it's in our back catalog if you want to go check that out. Uh, how many bands does it take to make a great cigar? And, uh, Mike's holding up five fingers. Yeah.
- 25:14> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>least.
- 25:15> Good ol’ Boy Barker>So that's, you know, if you don't have five bands on your cigars, what are you really doing?
- 25:19> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Yeah. We interrupt this program to annoy you>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Yeah, that's right. That's right. But, you know, as far as it goes, like, let's just talk cao for a moment as a brand, as a local Nashville brand that it used to Be. It was really hard to see it leave and it was really hard to see it kind of tank a little bit.
- 25:44> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin When STG just took it over, um, they kind of burned some things into the ground and they kind of made a few wrong decisions. Blend wise, in my opinion. But over the last three years, I really think that they've started to turn the brand back around. Yeah. And I've really started to enjoy what they've been putting out.
- 26:03> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin was, I was like, this is a step in the right direction.
- 26:08> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah.
- 26:09> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Yeah.
- 26:12> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin are the, the errors of their ways and turning there. And I, and I like where they're going. I'm actually looking to buy, uh, co cigars now that I haven't been in a long time.
- 26:23> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Yeah, that Vision is a crusher.
- 26:26> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Which one?
- 26:27> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Uh, the Nocturna.
- 26:30> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Is it a newer release? No. Um, because the last Visions, that was their serialized. I had a box of them for my wedding. The original Vision, the OG first release. That's what we smoked at my wedding. Rich, you were there.
- 26:43> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin you bought them.
- 26:46> Good ol’ Boy Barker>That's right. You were there. We bought them in Bethlehem Cigar Fest. Man. That was a long time ago.
- 26:52> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Yeah, it was.
- 26:53> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Um, but yeah, so I, I was a fan of Fasa Noche.
- 26:58> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah, the Fossa. Noche. Okay. Yes. Okay. That cigar is okay.
- 27:02> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin I do like the Fossas for sure. Um, the blue labels. I don't remember which one the Fossa is.
- 27:13> Good ol’ Boy Barker>That's the newest one they just released is the blue band.
- 27:15> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>The Fossa Sombra.
- 27:17> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah, the Sombra. Man, that cigar is awesome. And they're just really turning that brand. It makes me happy and it makes me hopeful for STG in moving forward because everyone, I feel like they got a bad rep going in and gobbling up brands and then just mulling them in the dirt.
- 27:36> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin know, they're looking to expand and then they're looking to save money. It's like anybody, any company that takes over another company, they're looking to cut costs and increase production and then, you know, the quality, uh, goes down. But I agree with you. I mean, at least they're making some good decisions now. Quality is going back up.
- 27:54> Good ol’ Boy Barker>I know. I remember. I can tell the difference between the core CAO line before and after yeah, you can tell the difference between the Absolutely. And, uh, you know, hopefully. I haven't really given another try, but maybe those.
- 28:08> Good ol’ Boy Barker>You know, hopefully those are.
- 28:09> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah. The Brasilia still slaps.
- 28:12> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin independence? I kind of think so, yeah.
- 28:16> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Well, who knows? I guess you'd have to ask old Boothy on that one.
- 28:21> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>It's probably not an independent thing, but, like, especially with something that has, you know, an established following, you know, you're gonna read the press a bit, right? And then obviously, that's gonna, you know, dictate sales. And as you see things kind of start to drop, you go, okay, well, now what are we doing?
- 28:42> Good ol’ Boy Barker>So what are we gonna rate this? Well, I guess we'll go with a three. I mean, it would really be in between a three and a four for me. I mean, it's. It is a good cigar.
- 28:56> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Yeah, we don't have a rating for that.
- 28:57> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah, we don't. Five. Uh, but we. We are gonna have a little break here in a second, and we're gonna come back and talk more about it. Uh, but, like, STG is as a. As a whole, they send us quite a bit. You know, in every mother month, they send me a box or so of something, and. Well, they're just five packs. They send me five packs.
- 29:19> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin I do share them. I do share them.
- 29:22> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin With you guys?
- 29:24> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Yeah, just don't think I do. Yeah. Come on. Come get him.
- 29:29> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin there.
- 29:31> Good ol’ Boy Barker>That's the only thing I do. I have to. Somebody needs to make it work. Anyway, we'll be back right after this. Hey, welcome back. We just went over the CAO Stoke, and we gave it a rating of 3 and had a little bit of dialogue about STG and what we think about the first future form, and we're going to go ahead and move on to the, uh, El Titan de Bronze Redemption. Benjamin, why don't you tell us about that sweet.
- 30:00> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>The ELTZ into Bronze Redemption is owned by Elta Into Bronze and is being sold by General Tobacco.
- 30:06> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Uh, that's a very different arrangement, and I'm not sure why STG would do that. Uh, but blend wise, the Artesian of Bronze Redemption line is made with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper covering filler tobaccos from Nicaragua. The binder is grown in the Esteli region, while the filler includes tobacco from the Esteli and Jalapa regions. Uh, quote, uh, this is the right time with the right people, and I feel so confident in them. After so many years, so much hard work with my family, this is the first time we will be able to get the amazing work of our artisans to people all over the country, said Sandy Cobus, owner of the Altitudinal Bronze Factory, in a press release. Uh, currently three sizes offered for the LT's and the bronze redemption. Uh, you've got the robusto at 5 by 50, the corona at 5 and 5, 8 by 46, and the toro at 6 by 52. Also the second biggest band in the lineup, really. It's covering, like, 50 of the cigar.
- 31:03> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah, it does. And that's. They're two separate bands.
- 31:06> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Another big band banger, huh?
- 31:07> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Uh-huh. Big band banger. Actually, this one was kind of.
- 31:10> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>This is a banger. Uh, to be real honest, uh, this is, uh, wheelhouse smoke for me. Spice all over that thing.
- 31:16> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah.
- 31:17> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Uh, it is a spicy meatball, for sure. Uh, but, you know, um, also full body, full strength. Uh, this is a end of your day, you know, shut all the things down, close the computer, you know, get, uh, away from the family, uh, and just dive in.
- 31:41> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah. No, I definitely like this cigar. I definitely. Rich, what do you think?
- 31:46> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin disappointed.
- 31:51> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Get out. And this is last episode for Rich.
- 31:56> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>It's been nice, Rich.
- 31:58> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin what do they call the Level 9 Cuban rollers for these things, like, triple cap. And they use in tubo.
- 32:08> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Oh, here we go.
- 32:12> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin
- 32:13> Good ol’ Boy Barker>With your mouth.
- 32:14> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>I couldn't smoke it. What you use?
- 32:17> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah.
- 32:18> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin smoking.
- 32:22> Good ol’ Boy Barker>That's right. You stare at it too fast, Rich.
- 32:25> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Facts.
- 32:28> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Couldn't do it. What are we going to give this cigar go with a four. Magnificent. All right, we got a good. We got just a few minutes left in this episode. Rich, tell us about the room 101 Namakumi Chingon.
- 32:47> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin and chingon, which means power, strength, and skill. We'll have to follow up with Matt about that one. Finally, a true rapper. And quite pretty. And it's robin's egg bun. Eggshell blue.
- 33:03> Good ol’ Boy Barker>The magic component of the Namakubi blend is that it is age. Thank you. It's age. Mathematically.
- 33:10> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Mathematically aged. What's that mean? And strategically, in the tear of our haters. This is the source of the depth of its deliciousness. It is the taste of victory in the face of adversity.
- 33:23> Good ol’ Boy Barker>If you are using Barger math, nothing really seems to add up.
- 33:27> Good ol’ Boy Barker>That's fine.
- 33:28> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin acquire the tears of their haters at room 101?
- 33:35> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Slowly, I'd assume.
- 33:36> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin containers of their full tears? Did Matt Booth poke fun at the haters publicly and humiliate them to the point where they began sobbing? And then he put out some type of black titanium or sterling silver receptacle and capture the salty discharge at stream from their eye holes?
- 33:58> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Who wrote this?
- 33:59> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Salty discharge In Matt Booth they go in the same sentence. They should not be in this one.
- 34:07> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Are they really enough gloom run on>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin barrels necessary to age all the tobaccos properly with their tears? I'm going to on the record say that 2025 Namasuki was an actually not aged and tears of their haters.
- 34:24> Good ol’ Boy Barker>All right, so we're going to just run through this here. What would you guys rate this cigar? We're going to go fours on her.
- 34:31> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Magnificent.
- 34:38> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin
- 34:40> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Here we go.
- 34:40> Good ol’ Boy Barker>He didn't get it. That's my fault. I know it. It's my fault. But that's another one though. Like when you talk about STG gobbling up brands. Yep. You know, there was a big lash back when they got room one on one, you know, but they've been.
- 34:55> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>I feel like they probably leave Matt alone.
- 34:57> Good ol’ Boy Barker>They do. I feel like that's the case is they just let him do him and then.
- 35:01> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Yeah, no, I don't. I don't think so either.
- 35:05> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Personality. But it's definitely one of those interesting things. And like last year PCA, they did their what, 20 something anniversary or anniversary>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin Humidor with each anniversary cigar stick.
- 35:18> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin went through the whole thing.
- 35:21> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah, he did go through the whole thing. We'd take a box if they'd send it to us too. Yep, absolutely.
- 35:27> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Send them to you at least.
- 35:28> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Well, you know, we don't talk about it. You guys will get one. Mhm. Yeah. But anyway, don't hate the hater.
- 35:35> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin That's right. That's right. Everybody hates bar.
- 35:38> Good ol’ Boy Barker>It's fine. But anyway, guys, I had a lot of fun with this lineup. It's really hard to do episodes like this, you know, because we have so many brands that we just focus on one brand in a show.
- 35:48> Good ol’ Boy Barker>But getting a chance to do multiple brands in an episode is. Is a lot of fun, too. We do those with, like, our blind tastings and things like that. So if you guys want to check out some really fun episodes, we do blinds based on price point, and you guys can go back in our back catalog and check that. I believe from $5 all the way to $25 was the last one, right?
- 36:06> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Yeah.
- 36:07> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah. And so that was a lot of fun for those who could afford to do it with us, you know, So
- 36:13> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>I started to go fund me.
- 36:14> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah. But anyway, anyway, uh, you know, I just want to make sure that any last comments or anything on. On stg, I would just say that>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin try them out for yourself. I always am willing to give second shot to anything.
- 36:34> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah.
- 36:35> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin humidor, let it go.
- 36:38> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah.
- 36:39> Good ol’ Boy Barker>>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin be surprised.
- 36:41> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah, yeah. That's a standard practice for me. If I. If I go buy something new, I'll buy two of them and put one in there, uh, for later, and I'll usually forget about it. And then a year later, I'm like, oh, what is this?
- 36:52> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Well, I think you also nailed it to, man, like, um, the opportunity to be able to do this and prepare to have these conversations by getting a really good sense of what's out there on the market and. And smoking things purely from, like, a research perspective, uh, to get us out and keep us outside of our kind of comfort zone as far as smoking goes.
- 37:12> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Sure.
- 37:13> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Um, is a really cool experience. And. And I think that, you know, if. If I were to, like, give someone a takeaway from this episode, specifically, it's, go out there and try something new, man. Like, go pick up your daily smoke.
- 37:24> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>Right. Get the things that, you know that you're going to enjoy. Chat with the guy that's. That's running the humidor. Like, man, hey, hey, what's new in here? Uh, you know, what are you kind of hot about? You know, you got any kind of tips on.
- 37:35> Good ol’ Boy Benjamin>On things that maybe I should try and get outside of your comfort zone to experience? Uh, all of the, you know, the love and the blending and then the cool things that go into these smokes,>> Unidentified Good ol’ Boy Benjamin+++ Benjamin
- 37:47> Good ol’ Boy Barker>Yeah, put them in the comments, Let us know what you think. Uh, we just like to hear people's comments and laugh at your opinions. But if you would laugh at your opinion. Definitely. Uh, go check us out on our back catalog. We have a very extensive back catalog online. And good, uh, old boy Benjamin, thanks for being here.
