Steve Saka joins Not A Cigar Show for an episode that refuses to stay on the rails. You get real talk, sharp opinions, and the kind of cigar knowledge only Saka can drop. We cover blending, bad ideas, and a few things we probably wish we had not said out loud.

You will walk away smarter and maybe a little tired.

If you enjoy cigars, sarcasm, or watching grown adults lose control of their own show, you are in the right place. Grab a cigar and jump in.
