© 2026 Liberty on Nicotine
Description
Liberty on Nicotine is more than a podcast about cigars — it’s a journey into the artistry, culture, and philosophy behind one of life’s oldest indulgences. Each episode explores the craftsmanship, history, and ritual of the cigar, from the rolling tables of Havana to the humidors of modern aficionados.
Host William Dettmering invites listeners to slow down, light up, and savor not just the leaf — but the liberty that comes with it. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a curious newcomer, this show unpacks everything from cigar anatomy and tobacco origins to the camaraderie, conversation, and contemplation that define the experience.
Because in a world that rushes — cigar smokers still take their time.
Smoke. Think. Enjoy. Liberty on Nicotine.

Send a text Today’s broadcast comes to you from my humble front yard, where the sky can’t quite decide whether it’s misting romantically or testing my commitment to combustion. The Esteban Carreras Bronze Cross Sumatra Toro in hand. Support the show
Send a text Broadcasting from the Conway Riverwalk, where the Waccamaw River slides by like it’s late for a dinner reservation and refuses to explain itself to anyone. In my hand: the Esteban Carreras Covenant Madero Toro. Dark wrapper. Support the show

Send a text I’ve got the Punch Classico lit, and let’s pause right there, because the name alone feels appropriate. “Classico” suggests tradition, structure, a cigar that knows what it is and isn’t trying to reinvent itself with kombucha fermentation or influencer hype. Tonight’s episode of Liberty on Nicotine comes to you from the outer perimeter of civilization—or at least the parking lot of a very loud biker bar in Pawleys Island. Support the show

Send a text Tonight’s episode of Liberty on Nicotine features the Obsidian by Pinar del Rio—a cigar that looks like it should come with a villain monologue and a non-disclosure agreement. Dark, brooding, unapologetic. A cigar that doesn’t ask permission and definitely doesn’t fill out a form in triplicate. Support the show
Send a text Today’s companion is the Micallef Herencia, and there’s something poetically appropriate about smoking a cigar named “heritage” while standing on a January beach, wrapped in too many layers, questioning my life choices but refusing to regret them. Support the show
Send a text Tonight’s cigar is the Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut—which already sounds like it should come with a leather-bound certificate and a smug nod of approval from a man wearing loafers without socks. This cigar is often described as mild, refined, creamy, elegant. In other words, the opposite of how I’m currently dressed while blocking a side door that technically says “Emergency Exit Only”.
