On this special Saturday night edition of Smoke Night LIVE, we attempt to recover from our massive Thanksgiving feasts. And while your turkey might have been dry, your cigars are staying perfectly humidified thanks to Cigar Oasis.
Our guest this week is Dan Barranco, here to help us dial in the relative humidity of our cigars—and maybe help us digest Aunt Thelma’s infamous green bean casserole.
So loosen the belt, drop an Alka-Seltzer, light up a cigar, and join the fun for this rare Saturday night episode of Smoke Night LIVE.
One of our favorite recurring segments is back on the menu.

We also discuss the new Kelner LE 80, a cigar honoring his father Hendrik “Henke” Kelner’s 80th birthday that is coming straight out of Klaas’s own Kelner Cigars factory in the DR. Grab a pen and paper because class is officially in session!
