Closing out 2021 and ringing in 2022 it’s the New Year’s episode. We have a few good jokes from The Domicile with the regulars and a decent Hidden Herf to go with it all. We reflect on a few thing in the past and discus what’s possible in the future. Local Spotlight – The Tobacco Shack ; Rowley, MA Controversy Corner – Ice Holes Down Under…

Nashville Dave is on a cigar shop road trip reporting direct from the Florida pan handle at Zack’s Beach Castle Cigars .

We give a report on the Two Guys Christmas Party and a stop in at Smoke & Flame to get an update on the new retail outlet progress.

Lauren from Ashton joins the Hacks for this episode during the Ashton Cigar Event at Cigars R Us . It’s 90 degrees and 90% humidity at sundown, we’re outside in the “alley” and the only thing keeping us cool is a nice cigar and the Podcast Juice. A few of the Danvers regulars also join in the fun. Nurse Rick calls in from Florida to give us a cigar lounge report. Frank won’t put on a headset and heckles us from the sidelines. Lauren tells us about the Ashton Company , San Christobal , La Aroma de Cuba and a “dad story”.

We are at the Tobacco Shack for 2nd Anniversary of Eastie Paul at the helm. By the end of the evening it’s practically a full house with all the folks that drop in. The Hidden Herf stumps the panel and gets just an OK rating. Comedy Chris is in rare form, we do a Podcast Juice comparison with a hard seltzer, George calls in, and Frank won’t get on the mic. Paul tells us his “brush with greatness” story. There’s some Black Bottle Beard Co. news. Local Spotlight – The Tobacco Shack; Rowley, MA Controversy Corner – What a Country! Hidden Herf 196…

It’s a Hacks’ outing with the goats, dogs and a bonfire on a perfect Saturday evening. We’re grillin’ and chillin’ while feeding peanuts to the animals before the show. The neighborhood joins in for the fun and a few join us on the show. The Hidden Herf is interesting and there is a fair amount of cigar talk. The Podcast Juice is flowing so it’s lots of laughs.

Impromptu, we are joined by Scott Whitley, BNG member and host of the Boston radio and TV show; Wicked Bites . Scott and the Hacks talk with various Rt. 1 BNG members, who just happen to be cigar smokers too. It’s like a pop-up cigar lounge on the back patio at The Breakaway .
