The week on The Cigar Authority marks 11 full years of The Cigar Authority! It all began on April Fool’s Day 2010 and we said we will keep going till we get it right! So… the good news is… the show continues. We celebrate in the first hour by lighting up an Atabey Idolos which was part of the care package as we look back on the history of the show live from the Toscano Sound Stage at Studio 21 Podcast Cafe. In the second hour we fire up a Culebra from JC Newman as we name the cowbell and talk about when to pull the plug on the show. Freddie Mercury once asked in song, Who wants to live forever? And to be honest, do we want to do this forever? We will have this and all the usual suspects including Versus, Offer of the Day, Cigar News and a peek into the Asylum.
