Episode 3 – A Typical Hack
– Local Spotlight: Federal Cigar

Normally this  episode would be titled something like “What We’ve Been Up To” but in typical Hack fashion the Hidden Herf gets a bit out of control. We cover everything from Avanti Cigars to beef jerky and Serino Cigars to birthday cake. A theme is forming – cigars and food. The “Local Spotlight” shines on Federal Cigar’s three locations. Conspiracy corner goes to the dogs with innuendo. Nick gets a new name and we explain what our intro means.
