Talking Dunbarton, Reviews & Wild Headlines | CHPOD 653

After a cold open with a rundown of the day's stories, the crew announced the winner of the old mask auction and gave an update on Mike's kids' fundraiser, then read Comments from the Lounge, including one about the Lancero's 90 score. The news covered cyberattacks on Wi-Fi freezers in European stores, the redesigned Dwyane Wade statue head, and a Florida man who bit a police dog. Cigar news included Tatuaje's new Boris Karloff run, EGM's Ninfa cigars in a ceramic jar, and Steve Saka teasing Dunbarton's Takumi and the Shakua Bushido, plus a birthday call to Ronnie from Secreto Cigars. They finished with What's the Score? on the Cayman Cigar Company Tortuga, followed by a call to Pete Hernandez about Boris Karloff allocations.
