Enjoyed the show.
I'm looking for those who have tried Casdagli cigars from the site https://www.cigarspartan.com/cigars/premium-cigars/casdagli-cigars/, could you share your experience of smoking them? How would you describe the sensations and complexities offered by their blends? I'm looking for a cigar that not only embodies refined taste, but also delivers a holistic appeal to the senses, and Casdagli seems to promise just that, with an emphasis on craftsmanship and evoking the senses.
Some ignorance in this episode. "Cigars are not addictive." "No cigar smoker dies of lung cancer." I'm a cigar lover. but I also accept reality.
Again Garafollo you are misleading consumers as to pricing, especially online. There are many options available that beat your prices!
You're full of shit Garofolo. Online cigars are so much cheaper than B&Ms. Its not only convenient, but necessary for the working class to buy online. You are only interested in your bottom line period. Otherwise you would cry overregulation.
I'm in that 21-30 group.
Shitty show topic. Leave politics off the show
