This week we welcome Erik Wentworth from Hammer + Sickle cigars for his first visit, first visit in 2020 that is. One of our most frequent guests, because he’s an ashhole just like us. We fire up a cigar that was a collaboration project between United Cigars and Hammer + Sickle. The two began secret talks back in 2018, but they came to an abrupt halt when Eric Hanson, president of Hammer + Sickle Cigars passed away. Early in 2019 Executive Vice President Erik Wentworth reignited the secret meetings with United's Oliver Nivaud as the two finished the project. We will fire up this cigar and share our thoughts live on The AshHoles!

Every AshHole in Cigarville loved Christmas a lot. But The Grinch who lived just outside of Cigarville did not. It could be, perhaps because his lighter was empty or it could be he just didn’t smoke the right cigar.
Today on The AshHoles, we attempt to grow the Grinch’s heart with a Julius Caesar 1895. Will this be the magical cigar, or does it deserve to be tossed on the Yule log. It’s Christmas Eve on the Ashholes and we fire up the Diamond Crown Lounge Exclusive that measures 5 x 52.
