JR Cigars Presents: The Long Ash PodcastThe Cigarchitect Nick Libretti teams up with videographer Secret Chris to discuss cigars, the industry and the mysteries of life

I got into smoking cigars about two years ago from listening to cigar podcasts. But I never knew about this podcast until I saw it on the JR YouTube page. Now I’m binging on my 45 minute drive to work everyday. One point of constructive criticism if you’re going to let Secret Chris be part of the conversation give him a mic I always turn it up to hear when he says something only to be blown away when Nick or Greg start talking again. Other than that I love the podcast you guys are hilarious. I actually just made my first purchase from JR because I love the content. I hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Oh and by the way my favorite cigar is the Brickhouse Maduro Robusto.

Favorite Cigar Podcast

12 out of 10.. would recommend. Funny guys full of knowledge about cigars.
