Judging Smokers by the Band: Padrón, RoMa Craft & E.P. Carrillo | 599
No U.S. cigar news today — so episode 599 of the Cigar Hustlers Podcast goes international. Mikey and Steve are on the desk with Phil McGuffey in engineering, covering Singapore's plain-packaging rollout, a new technical book on lounge air quality, and one of the best "what does your cigar say about you" conversations the show has done.
Before that: Florida wants to test flying cars (eVTOL air taxis) at SunTrax in Polk County before the end of 2026, a federal judge lifts NFA restrictions on silencers and short-barreled rifles for certain Texans, and Pinellas County Schools bans Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses from campus. Then it's "What's the Score?" on halfwheel's Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro Robusto review.
