The cigars? Lightly toasted. 

The guests? Also lightly toasted. 

Such a good episode.  Thanks to everyone who made it and gave us this window into blending and testing new cigars.

No one says “fucking motherfucker” with as much love as Hamlet. What a beauty.

Hi all, 

I was very glad to hear the podcast on the "LOUNGE LIZARDS" but I liked the beginning intro, when they say where they are. They first said that they are in their studio in "HAWTHORNE" N.J. That is where my Uncle Joe was, he was my father's oldest brother. And where I have a lot of childhood memories, in HAWTHORNE .Then I hear that our friend HAMLET is in "FORT MYERS". That's where my childhood friend is now.

Just goes to show you that it's a small world after all.

Amicalement,

Guy

You don't, really. Prepare to hear someone being interviewed and Hamlet saying, "Hey, I'm talking!" 😂 

When one meets Hamlet, be prepared to listen. And he'd 100% approve this message!

outstanding podcast, can't wait to listen to more.
