Ever wonder if frigid temps mess with your favorite cigar? In this episode, the guys tackle a listener’s question: Does cold weather affect how my cigar smokes? They talk about temperature, humidity, construction, and how it all can impact the experience —plus, they drop some pro tips for braving winter with a stogie in hand.
Then, it’s time to put the Titan de Bronze Redemption to the test before making the ultimate sacrifice: a blind tasting of top-shelf single malt Scotches (someone’s gotta do it, right?). Finally, they sit down for an in-studio chat with Sandy Cobas and Giselle Herrera, the powerhouse duo behind Little Havana’s legendary Titan de Bronze Cigar Factory.

Flavor Odyssey – Wildcard – St Paddys Day Edition

Our show is exactly what the title implies--it's a show about "The Good Life." Every week on Smokin' & Toastin', Ian Barry and Cruze taste and talk about craft beers, distinctive distilled spirits and fine cigars. Ian and Cruze approach these classic diversions with the passion and curiosity of two semi-normal guys on an adventurous path of discovery and knowledge. And if that quest mandates that they must drink, eat, smoke and socialize, then so be it.

Join the team from Cigar Snob Magazine — along with our guests — as we share all manner of cigar snobbery. We'll talk travel, booze, the news of the day, and also recommend some of our favorite food, books, movies and products.

Cigar Dojo is the world's most fun cigar community, app, and blog. We also feature the most watched cigar show on the internet: Smoke Night LIVE.

Expert hosts help you understand and learn how to create the best cigar and drink pairings.

Euftis Emery began writing explicit 'reality based' erotica in 2004 with his first anthology "Off the Chain". 

Euftis tells his stories from a male perspective using witty humor using words to paint vivid pictures in the readers mind.  Whereas many authors are vague in their writing leaving much to the readers imagination, Euftis prefers a "fly on the wall" approach making the reader feel like a voyeur.

This separates his work from a big percentage of the erotica market.

If you're looking for erotica that is a little different. Give Euftis a try.
