Month: December 2018

This is an in-lounge episode recorded at Castro’s Back Room in Bedford, New Hampshire. The Stunning Christie, Reverend Harvey, Big Man Tate and Cigar Hack Dave are in the lounge with Skippy (Bret, from The Retrohale) and “sick” Nurse Rick on the remote call-in. We cover a lot of ground in this one so break out the score cards. With the help of a wild guess from Nurse Rick and illegal use of the internet, Christie nails the Hidden Herf in under 12 minutes. The Reverend Harvey spins the current events with style. We jump from animals to home ownership to auto repair and just about everything in between.

Conspiracy Corner: Nurse Rick and Rev. Harvey pull off a great segment on the Zapruder film. As a bonus section we take on medieval castles and kamikaze pilots.

Our Christmas special has most of the usual segments and banter, we do a little gift swap instead of the regular local spotlight. The Secret Santa Hidden Herf is a real wild-card and receives mixed reviews. We are joined by Big Man Tate on the remote where we recount the Federal Cigar Christmas Party and Cigar Yankee Swap. Of course, Conspiracy corner is framed around Christmas, religion, holidays and more.

Whenever we throw a last minute recording session together it always turns out great. We drop in to the Cloud Palace mid week and have an opportunity to be joined by some of the Cloud Palace family members and their friends. The quests are on the hookahs and also join us for the Hidden Herf. We get schooled on the finer points of how hookahs work and we return the favor by holding a mini cigar lighting class. Nurse Rick gets a peek at the edge of Dommies Hidden Herf band and figures it out quickly. Mustang Mike surprises us by dropping in mid-show and gets into it with the guests.

Conspiracy Corner: Immigration, draining the swap, and Boston sports.

We put together another classic “Hack” episode from the Nut-Nook. The Hidden Herf is pegged by Nick the Nasty right out of the gate. The Reverend Harvey runs down a long list of current events. Nurse Rick and Dommie the Dominator have new sound effects and throw them in all through the show. The Cuban Vixen calls in from Las Vegas to give us a surprise Local Spotlight report. A couple of suspect e-mails rolled in this week. We have a birthday surprise for Nurse Rick. JoJo Mo was watching curling so we gave him a call.

After last week we calm down a little with a mellow smoke and episode. We still have a lot of fun with Podcast Juice and a bunch of Hack updates. Nurse Rick brings us a Hidden Herf suggested by our friend Erik Wentworth of Hammer and Sickle. The Reverend Harvey rolls through the current events with style. Bushy and the Dominator keep us in line. The magazine “falls out of the rafters” and lands in the middle of this episode. Pallets for the fire-pit, deer are everywhere, driving in the snow storm, Dom’s ventilation “hack”, some extra gas, and the Dudley. A shameless give-away is considered to encourage listener participation – send us an email at cigarhacks@cigarhacks.com and we may read it on the show.
