The Blowin' Smoke Podcast
Bringing the 'herf' experience to cigar enthusiasts on-demand since 2005.

Making kosher sausage this time for Blowin' Smoke #156! 

Indeed, the unofficial official Rabbi of the Blowin' Smoke Podcast, Steve, traveled to join us once again for some Havana Room herfing. Armed with a new Cigar of the Day, we set out and quickly found ourselves pairing it with vanilla yogurt. What's up with that? 

We also talked about more government meddling in our humidors, and asked our Twitter friends to name a cigar for our freedom destroying politicians. Plus, riding a unicycle freestyle, working in a very specialized retail business, bucket list foods, and more. There's a new report on what the chicks are reading, and a new 5 Things too. 

So, drop what you're doing, light a manly candle, spark a fine cigar, and check out Blowin' Smoke #156!

One good mystery deserves another, and that means Blowin' Smoke #155! 

With a full house of Cretins, and a smoke filled Havana Room, we reviewed another secret cigar trying to redeem ourselves from a less than stellar review the last time. How did it go? We also talked about nagging cigar problems, government regulation insanity, and ideas for a cigar-related reality show. 

Plus, we talked about cops screening dirty movies, squeezing the boys to death, surviving on sunlight alone, and more. 

Special thanks to Commonwealth Cedar Spills for providing some great giveaways, and some fun calls from our listeners trying to win them. 

So, grab a mystery stick of your own, spark it up, and join the freak show that is Blowin' Smoke #155!

Mystery cigars and heavy duty pharmaceuticals. That could only mean one thing...Blowin' Smoke #154! 

The Cretins assembled once again for some weekend herfin'...aches and pains be damned! After a disappointing Cigar of the Day and painful butt kicking in the last Cigar Match, the time was ripe for a mystery Cigar of the Day, perhaps to cleanse ourselves. Did it work? 

Plus, the conversation covered cigar recommendations, choosing a "final" cigar, and more government cigar intrusion. We also talked about the oldest in the oldest profession, rockin' at a Motorhead concert, trends in salon treatments for guys, and more. Of course, there's a new 5 Things, and what the chicks are reading too. 

So, call your pharmacist and fire up a fine handmade for Blowin' Smoke #154!

Is that Colt 45 on your breath, or are you just happy to see me? Who cares? It's Blowin' Smoke #153! 

With a brand new Cigar of the Day, and couple more cans of malt liquor, the Cretins returned for another round of herfin'. Newly baptized Cretin Doug performed his community service for the week by lending his testimony to a worthy cause. We dished out a brand new 5 Things, and checked out what the chicks are reading with our continuing investigative series. 

Plus, there are women hunting men for their gentleman gravy...and this is a bad thing? Also, strippers who stepped up to help some kids, personal pleasure is now as close as your local drug store, a little look back at local icon Mr. Rogers, and more. 

So, fire up a well-aged stogie, kick back, and herf with us here on Blowin' Smoke #153!

Ligero and malt liquor. Sounds like Blowin' Smoke #152! 

Indeed, the Cretins took the herf bait of a new Cigar of the Day pairing and history was made in the Havana Room. Not necessarily bragging rights, but a momentous occasion nonetheless. 

While that was going on, we talked to Tom of Commonwealth Cedar Spills about bringing back some old school style to your cigar enjoyment. We also talked up homeless performance art, what not to do if you are arrested for DUI, what your choice of positions says about you, and revisited the posterior bottle rockets demonstrations. 

Plus, a brand new installment of "what the chicks are reading," and 5 Things too. 

So, grab a big 24 ouncer, a big stick, and join the herf that is Blowin' Smoke #152!

Going full auto, it's Blowin' Smoke #151... 

Cretins old and new gathered once again for herf excellence in the Havana Room. A brand new Cigar of the Day forced Cretin Dan on an undisclosed mission, and our attempts to contact a social networking cigar kingpin lead to some unusual and unexpected consequences. 

We also welcomed virgin Cretin, Doug, into the fold and assigned him 5 Things duties, of course. Plus, another installment of "What The Chicks Are Reading," along with interesting discussions about pairing cigars with bad behavior on the beach, a safe haven for nursing moms, special purpose bottle rockets, and more! 

So, grab some ammo, a big cigar, and light 'em up with Blowin' Smoke #151!

All hail, Bacon! All hail, Bacon! It's Blowin' Smoke #150! 

In celebration of our big 1-5-0, we went hog wild with a feast of many things BACON. Really, everything IS better with bacon. Even bacon is better with bacon. It was also a great opportunity to go BIG on the Cigar of the Day too, and we did. Plus, we were also introduced to a couple other "big things" right there in the Havana Room complete with photo evidence/comparisons. 

We also talked to Clint of 262 Cigars for an update on the big Manifesto tour, and checked in with some listeners in "the congregation" about our Cigar of the Day. Of course, we also continue our investigation into what the chicks are reading. 

So, grab a big one from the special occasion stash, fry up some bacon, and join us for Blowin' Smoke #150!

Herfin' toward a collective epiphany, it's Blowin' Smoke #149! 

The Cretins were raring to go as they fired up a brand new Cigar of the Day...even if they couldn't pronounce it properly, and loaded up on coffee and cheesy puffs. They also fielded listener calls from Vegas, the "dingleberry" of New Jersey, and other points in between. Plus, there was some educating going on about the growing trend of "vagacials," and a big...or, perhaps, long difference between American and Rawandan women. 

Also, a brand new 5 Things, another investigative report on what the chicks are reading right there in the supermarket next to the breath mints, and El Freako considers a new bio. 

All that and more is straight ahead on Blowin' Smoke #149! Let's herf!

It's the first show of the new year, and the Cretins came prepared for almost anything. Up first, a special Cigar of the Day...multiple mystery cigars. Find out how they were connected and what the Cretins thought about them. 

Being football playoff time, the Cretins, and some listeners, had to weigh in on the big story of the football season. We also checked in with Clint Aaron of 262 Cigars for an update on their big Manifesto promotion. Then, with the help of our Twitter friends, we talked about Snoop Dogg's new cigar line, getting tattoos on your gentleman sausage, and a lovely lady with a double dose of...something. Plus, what the chicks are reading, a new 5 Things and much more.

"And surely you will pay for your pint, 
And surely I will pay for mine! 
And we will take a cup of kindness yet 
for times gone by!" That's how the song goes as we herf out 2011 with Blowin' Smoke #147! 

A Mystery Cigar was herfed for the last Cigar of the Day of 2011, and a new Cigar Match battle got underway. Rolling into a new year always brings up memories of the previous and hopes for the new, and the Cretins followed suit with some personal thoughts on cigars new to them in 2011, both memorable and forgettable. Plus, door to door breast exams, assault with a deadly femur, and rewriting headlines with our Tweeps. Look out for a new installment of "What The Chicks Are Reading," and a new 5 Things that involves designer socks. 

So grab your noise maker, give your auld lang syne a bath, and light one up with Blowin' Smoke #147! Happy New Year!
