[El Presidente]

This week the Lizards pair the Padrón 1964 Anniversary Torpedo in Maduro with The Balvenie Sweet Toast of American Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The guys debate their current feelings on Cuban Cigars, they discuss Davidoff’s 2025 Chef's Edition and they share some feedback on Episode 200. PLUS: Cuba's Fourth Island-wide Blackout, PCA's CEO Contract Extension, Another Retrohale Debate & More!

Great episode with an assist from Salty Senator who was taking on all comers on the retrohale, spirits, and so forth with blistering verbal assaults against Gizmo and Chef. Special bonus was Bam contorting himself like a gymnast to agree with Senator’s perspective against Gizmo’s liquor rating despite Bam giving the SAME RATING to the liquor as Gizmo. A great show as always akin to Mom’s pot roast on a cold, rainy night.

Good podcast for the poster who created the thread of “Cuban Cigars vs New World”.

Great episode as always guys. @LizardGizmo, one thing to note your pronunciation of Friexenet was correct.
fray sher nay sounds French, it's Catalan and should have a softer "sh" sound in the middle, not a hard "x," and the "t" at the end should be pronounced. 

Quote From the official website:
" Freixenet (pronounced "fresh-eh-net") "

Think it's time for a Senator accountability hour.

Are all of the Lounge Lizards on FOH and  if so what are their handles? As always, I enjoyed this week's show.

Just me and Bam but he’s not an active poster (at the moment). The other guys don’t participate in any online discussion - most don’t have any socials or anything. Thanks bmac

W00t! We can now get the Davidoff Chefs edition 2025 here in the UK for...$94 (70£). Which means I will NOT be smoking along with this one 🙄
