The Ash Holes

On today’s show we will be lighting up a cigar that at first glance might be the ugliest thing on the market if you don’t know the story behind it. Leaf by Oscar comes wrapped in a tobacco leaf instead of cello. Removing the tobacco leaf unveils a gorgeous looking cigar and today we light light up the Connecticut version.

Speaking of unveiling, today we invite Michael DiMare to the show as Dan Ledwith is on vacation. It’ll be the first appearance for Michael DiMare, will he do ok? Will it be a train wreck? Will he be able to sit still for 45 minutes? Tune in to see how it goes and if he is indeed is an Ash Hole.

We will also have a Top 5 List and all the madness we know as The Ash Holes as we broadcast live on location from Studio 21 Podcast Cafe high above Two Guys Smoke Shop in Salem, New Hampshire on the United Podcast Network.

Today we are smoking the Tabernacle Havana Seed No. 142 Corona by Foundation Cigar Co. From the Foundation Cigar website: Master blender, Nicholas Melillo, has been working with choice farmers in the Connecticut River Valley since 2014 to develop the Havana Seed CT #142 wrapper. The seed is extremely rare and unlike any other tobacco in the world. Due to the incredible amount of oil from the plant, it takes 3yrs to undergo the fermentation process. The results make for a delicious medium to full-bodied blend with hints of cedar, spice, rich earthiness and natural sweetness. The Wiseman by Foundation was our 2017 COTY. How does this new offering measure up? Tune in and find out our thoughts on The Ash Holes.
