We slow things down a bit after a double header the previous Friday that produced the last two episodes. It’s over to The Tobacco Shack for one of the first nights of the summer with the extended hours. With a relatively small group of eight we have a few laughs and try a real nice […]

Episode 268: A Shack Holiday Party
– Local Spotlight: The Tobacco Shack; Rowley, MA
It’s the Tobacco Shack Holiday Party 2022. The lounge is jammed and the band is playing when we arrive, but we are recording after hours so it’s quieted down. We have a laid-back episode with a few gifts and a decent Hidden Herf. It’s just what the doctor ordered with the kind of day we […]
Episode 262: 5th Anniversary Special – Local Cigar Podcasts
– Local Spotlight: Studio 21 at Two Guys Smoke Shop; Salem, NH
It’s been five years of the Cigar Hacks and we celebrate by inviting representatives from the six other local cigar podcasts to join us for this special occasion.

Episode 256: Fundraising with the Lions Club
– Local Spotlight: The Saddle Up Saloon; Kingston, NH
Direct from the Lions Club cigar event at the Saddle Up Saloon in Kingston, NH we help raise funds for a resident in need. We have some extra guests and new panelists that join in the fun.

Episode 30: Fishing from the Boat
– Local Spotlight: Castaways – Happy Hours with Rocky Patel
We take “mobile” to the extreme and do an episode from the pontoon boat while on a fishing excursion. There are three poles in the water and the fish keep coming while we do an otherwise regular show. The Hidden Herf is another top rated smoke by all. Current Events: See CigarPlanner.com for more details, […]
Episode 44: Dead in the Water with Skippy & The Mate
– Local Spotlight: Stanza Dei Sigari; Boston, MA
Looking to extend the summer we get out on the lake but then run into problems forcing us to head back to the dock and record on dry land. Skippy and the Mate of The Retrohale join us from Colorado for the full experience with a Hidden Herf as they go end-to-end on this episode. […]

It’s been a while but we’re finally on the road again and visiting the Culebra Club to do a fun episode with a few members at the club. The Hidden Herf is a secret and gets mixed reviews. We go full circle with the Frog Juice and get a first hand report on Cigars for […]
Episode 222: I Broke My Freakin’ Leg Bro
– Local Spotlight: Plaistow Cigar; Plaistow, NH
Hackapalooza 1.0 gave us the infamous saying: “Are you trying to break my freakin’ leg bro?”. Well, this week Nurse Rick does it to himself on some black ice and then calls in while on the loopy meds. It’s pretty funny as he zones in and out of the conversation. We also have a visit […]
Episode 216: We Hope ’22 is Good for You
– Local Spotlight: The Tobacco Shack; Rowley, MA
Closing out 2021 and ringing in 2022 it’s the New Year’s episode. We have a few good jokes from The Domicile with the regulars and a decent Hidden Herf to go with it all. We reflect on a few thing in the past and discus what’s possible in the future. Local Spotlight – The Tobacco […]
