While we’ve been outside plenty it’s the first time we are on the front lawn, but not the first time we are with a dog. Detroit Steve is back from Reno and gives us a recap of his cigar lounge adventure at Fumare and General Frank fills us in on his trip to the Pittsburg area cigar lounges, The Smoke Stack and The Cigar Vault. The Hidden Herf stumps the panel and receives mixed reviews while we initiate a new Hack.

The weather breaks for just a bit so we gather the firewood and a large compliment of hacks for this one. Half the panel has not been on in quite a while so it’s different than the last few months. The Hidden Herf is a lesser-known boutique type brand found in Florida.

One of our special guests is Brian Sonia with West Tampa Cigars. He also operates The Tiki Taxi in Hampton Beach, NH. The stories from last season are great. He also brings us a blast from the past for the second half. The Hidden Herf is hard to find but has aged quite well. John from Grumpy’s joins the panel toward the end of the episode.
