It’s our first visit to Radloff’s since we got snowed out at Hackapalooza. Boom Boom and Kimmy just happen to be there too, there must be a psychic connection. We get caught up with Jamie on the shop, outdoor seating, and the cigar business. Jamie sets us up with a Hidden Herf from the vault that we come so close to accidentally guessing. There’s a contender for the new Podcast Juice that everyone seems to enjoy.

Hamlet of Rocky Patel Cigars is back in town, we meet up at The Tobacco Shack for a rolling demonstration event. Afterwards he joins us for this week’s episode. The event was a great success and the Hidden Herf was a winner too. Lots of news items and a couple of e-mail letters landed in the mailbag. In honor of Hamlet we dedicate this episode to the people of his heritage – be free!

Comedy Chris is back and we get resolution on the Hotdog Pancake question, of course he throws in another questionable question later in the show for next week. The Hidden Herf is a barber pole lancero. It’s surprising, considering the details on the makeup of this cigar. The Reverend Harvey breaks into a monologue on his life-long cigar smoking journey. Nurse Rick fills in for Mustang Mike and Dommie the Dominator is back with the sound effects.

A member of the crew that has been on hiatus returns this week and brings us a really interesting Hidden Herf. It rates well but it’s the back story that’s even more than we expected. Comedy Chris is out this week so we hold over the Hotdog Pancake reveal until his return. Nurse Rick calls in from Florida at the perfect time for the local spotlight (seriously, not planned!) and gives us a review of another Corona Cigar location. The ESP involved in that timing could be a topic for Controversy Corner.
