Be afraid, we are naked. It's the 39th Episode and we decided to do it naked. Forget about three men in a tub, you have 3 men puffing away on the Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour. It's been often said that Sir Winston Churchill would spend time in the Late Hours behind closed doors working in solitude or with trusted colleagues. During these Late Hour moments he was never without a cigar and often he was with an exceptional scotch as well. Davidoff brings together that moment with the Winston Churchill Late Hour. The Late Hour cigar is meant to be enjoyed when the end of the evening is the start of something more; when thoughts and discussions weave interesting paths into the night. The path chosen is a naked one and we invite you to tune in to find out why we decided to strip, and puff on a cigar.... It might be something you will never unsee, but it will be worth the laugh... We have Miles with Styles, Social Media Pic of the week and all the usually stuff that makes us Ash Holes, or in this case naked Ash Holes.

The Perdomo 20th Anniversary cigars are hand-crafted with the finest tobaccos grown exclusively on Perdomo’s most prestigious farms in Esteli, Condega, and the famed Jalapa Valley in Nicaragua. Using the highest priming tobaccos from each region, the Perdomo 20th Anniversary has a tremendous flavor profile with layer upon layer of rich, elegant, complex flavors. After being fermented to perfection, each wrapper is barrel-aged in bourbon barrels for an additional 14 months. These barrel-aged wrappers are at their peak color and flavor, making each Perdomo 20th Anniversary cigar impeccably smooth from beginning to end. As Perdomo rolls out new packaging for the 20th Anniversary that includes an incredible looking band made in Holland we light up the 20th Anniversary Connecticut.

During a century, between 1717 & 1817, the Spanish Crown prohibited cigar production in the Caribbean Islands & the rest of the American Colonies, and although its precious leaves continued growing on the other side of the ocean, the “puro” cigar rolling that we all know today, could only be done at the Sevilla Royal Factory, supplying an even more demanding market in the world. But such absurd prerogative led to the rising prices of tobacco and of course the birth of the Bandolero, an intrepid figure that hid on mysterious roads with tobacco leaves & rolled in other countries, led to an excellent price and authenticity combination, dressed with the charm of what was then forbidden. Today we light up a cigar composed of tobaccos known only by a select few has their components were passed down from generation to generation.. Join us we light up Bandolero.
