DogWatch Cigar Radio Podcast Episode #385 - Cigars of the future

This week, Big Pete of Australia  guest hosts for Dale.  Special guest Nathan McIntyre of Emilio Cigars joins Bob and Pete during the live show. The Cigar of the Week (the COW) is the Pinar Del Rio 1878 Reserva Dominican Capa Oscura. (A big thank you to Tranquilo Cigars for providing this week's COW.) The cigar for the 'What's my band?' segment of the show, the Gran Habano VL Gran Churchill, was provided by Scott Rohrer. 

In the 'We've Got Mail' segment, Jeff Curtis has a question about "sungrown" tobacco; Dan Clague asks Bob and Pete to explain the term "English market selection"; Roger Miller asks about DogWatch's new accessibility on YouTube and Google plus; Qmarx wants advice on a situation that either creates a draw problem, or an uneven burn on one side of the cigar; Warren Kearney wants to know if cigar companys are doing enough to inform their customers of new and upcoming product releases; Scott Martin asks for a description of "earthiness" or "deep earthiness" as it relates to cigar flavors; Barry Simon has a comment about AJ Fernandez petite corona overruns; Craig has a  question about tar and lowing the humidor's rh; Keith wonders if flaky ash really matters; Joel Scott asks about cigars with tight ashes for smoking in the car; Deter is curious about what Bob smoked before starting the show 7 years ago; and Steve Dorau  remembers the DWCR cigar club.

In the live chatroom, Bruce Starke (Andex) wins a box of CommonWealth Cedar Spills.  Rodd Heiden is this month's winner of a black Palio cutter.

In the 'What Else You've Been Smokin' segment, Bob talks about the Pinar Del Rio small batch reserva Maduro, the Antano Dark Corojo, the Flores y Rodriquez toro, and the El Tiante Red Label. Big Pete shares his thoughts on the Flores y Rodriguez Canonazo, the Pinar Del Rio small batch reserve habano, the Pinar Del Rio 1878 Cubano Especial Double Magnum, the Toro y Leon Habano Claro, the Humo jaguar, the Monte Pascoal, and the Ortega serie d no 8 maduro robusto.

Do you have a suggestion for the unbanded cigar of the week? Every week Bob and Dale include an “unbanded cigar” segment in their show in which they smoke a cigar without any markings and give their honest opinions. Bob then opens a sealed envelope and discovers the cigar’s name and manufacturer. If you have suggestions for the "What's My Band?" segment, or would like to provide 2-4 What's my Band? cigars, please email Executive Producer Liz at liz@cigarmedia.tv. Anyone providing samples will receive a DogWatch Cigar Radio pin and sticker!
