Grab a cigar and a drink and join George and team 

 

Recorded at Ten86 Lounge in Hawthorne, New Jersey, the lizards pair the H. Upmann Connoisseur 2 with twelve year aged Tomatin Single Malt Scotch. The guys review the latest release in the Connie series, Gizmo attempts to revisit the power of the retrohale and they answer a few listener emails on Cuban travel and garage smoking setups.

@LizardGizmo - I’d recommend their Black Barrel offering over the original or Caskmates. It should be readily available in the US and, for me at least, has much greater complexity and depth of flavour - but without going into their premium price-point offerings.

For some odd reason - I had never had Jameson prior to this episode. Embarrassing, honestly. We wanted to start with the lowest price offering and we will definitely be doing more of their line. Thanks for the reco on the black barrel. I will definitely get this in the queue.

Thanks much for introducing me to this podcast! 

My family and I live in a rural area of PA. Smoking buddies are limited and my schedule can be a bit chaotic. When I do have time to enjoy a cigar, I throw on a lounge podcast OR a Prez and Ken FOH review and it’s as if I’m enjoying a smoke with my buddies.  
 

Cheers!
