New year, new episode, and we’re attacking 2020 with everything we’ve got! And I have to say it, this is a really fun show that kicks things off beautifully. After our holiday gift exchange which you don’t want to miss (the guys basically shit all over my heartfelt presents), some cigar industry talk regarding this year’s PCA trade show (let the record show that we pulled out first), we shatter a beer bottle (oops), and then we get down to doing what we do best – getting drunk and talking. You’l...
Jan 29, 2020•3 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast Well it’s finally the end of one of the most unmemorable, pathetic decades in history. Yay! And to celebrate the TNCC crew traveled south to RoMa Craft headquarters in Austin, TX to party with Skip Martin and Mike Rosales. We drank some fine bourbons and some tasty beers… … and OF COURSE we smoked some amazing RoMa cigars… THE NUB It was a great night filled with lively conversation as we discussed the cigar industry, the complicated issues involved with the rating and reviewing of cigars, and a...
Dec 31, 2019•4 hr 42 min•Transcript available on Metacast Tonight’s show is a fun one. We discuss fandom a lot this evening ~ whether it be in the world of Hollywood celebrities, premium cigars, or even spin bikes. It’s fascinating what people will become passionate about to the point of obsession, isn’t it? Well, on that note, Southern Draw Cigars is passionate about its devoted fanbase and to celebrate the holidays and make a few folks at home very happy they’ve passed along some very cool swag for us to giveaway to you! THE BIG GIVEAWAY!!! So here’s...
Dec 24, 2019•4 hr 35 min•Transcript available on Metacast We’ve been trying to get Tatuaje’s Pete Johnson on the show for quite a while now but he’s one of the busiest guys in the cigar world and it wasn’t until he executive produced tonight’s film that the stars finally aligned. We have a long conversation with Pete about the documentary Hand Rolled obviously, cigars and the state of the industry, but we also touch on his musical past, his passion for wine and how that has influenced several of his blends, and at the end of the night it was just a dam...
Dec 10, 2019•3 hr 51 min•Transcript available on Metacast A few years ago we all went to the movie theater and checked out Terminator: Genysis and then raced back to the Corner Of No Hope and turned on the mics to deliver to you, our beloved audience, our immediate thoughts on the first Terminator film in years to once again feature the almighty Arnold Schwarzenegger. We didn’t care for that movie, no fault of Arnold, but we couldn’t help but be optimistic when returning to the local cineplex this month to soak in the latest time-traveling extravaganza...
Nov 26, 2019•3 hr 10 min•Transcript available on Metacast We haven’t had this much fun recording a show in a long while. Sometimes the movie doesn’t need to be a winner (tonight it isn’t) and we don’t all need to agree on the quality of the cigars (tonight we don’t) to have a phenomenal time discussing both. And often when the beer is double digits in alcohol content we tend to talk a lot of shit about every other topic under the full October moon as well. I think you’ll have a lot of fun with this episode boys and ghouls, enjoy! THE 1st CIGAR – WYNWOO...
Oct 31, 2019•3 hr 54 min•Transcript available on Metacast I want to take a quick moment here at the top of this episode page to address tonight’s show and explain why you don’t have your usual options for enjoying it. It’s a fantastic entry in our March To Halloween series but due to an unavoidable technical snafu we weren’t able to capture any of it on video so it has become our first show in years that you poor folks must to listen to rather than having the option to watch it (and our handsome, well chiseled visages) on our YouTube channel. So suck i...
Oct 22, 2019•4 hr 35 min•Transcript available on Metacast I love this time of year! And I love talking about horror films of all shapes and sizes, good and bad. But if you’re going to talk about a bad horror film for a few hours it helps dramatically to have a super delicious premium cigar in one hand and a refreshing tasty adult beverage in the other. Try it some time, you’ll see that I know what I’m talking about. When it comes to cigars, beer, and horror films that is – in every other aspect of life I’m a total idiot. THE CIGAR – SOBREMESA BRÛLÉE by...
Oct 01, 2019•3 hr 7 min•Transcript available on Metacast Well ladies and germs, we are officially starting our long march to Halloween a little earlier than usual this year. And what better way to kick things off with than a double-feature of grizzly bear madness?!?! The correct answer is, of course, that there is no better way obviously. So make yourself a stiff drink and join the party! THE CIGAR – WOJTEK THE WAR BEAR by POWSTANIE Size: 5 x 50 (perfecto) Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano & Mexican San Andrés (barberpole) Binder: Indonesian Filler: Nicaragu...
Sep 17, 2019•3 hr 28 min•Transcript available on Metacast Looking back over the last four and a half years, hundreds upon hundreds of hours of content (especially watching some of the really early stuff), I couldn’t help but think that despite our lack of natural ability, we certainly possessed the one crucial aspect to all early creative endeavors – naïveté. Steve Martin in his autobiography Born Standing Up calls it “That fabulous quality that keeps you from knowing just how unsuited you are for what you are about to do… Thankfully, perseverance is a...
Aug 14, 2019•3 hr 28 min•Transcript available on Metacast First and foremost, we have a very special guest in The Corner Of No Hope tonight, so please don’t let the occasional focus issue on our YouTube video throw you off (it disappears around the hour mark, we are testing out a new camera so bear with us). Keith A. Howell, the man whose smooth voiceover work has opened and closed our show for many years now, happened to be in the neighborhood so we had him pick a film for discussion and it was party time! THE CIGAR – BUCKEYE LAND by CROWNED HEADS Siz...
Jul 30, 2019•3 hr 31 min•Transcript available on Metacast Good Lord it was hot out tonight! So when the temperature starts creeping toward 100° it only makes sense to pour a few dozen pints of a cool refreshing Pilsner, light up some tobacco leaves, and let the good times fucking roll. It also helped too that we were sitting down to discuss a highly entertaining spoof of a classic Arnold film. That’s something we might just know a thing or two about… THE CIGAR – MONTECRISTO NO 2 by HABANOS SA Size: 6.1 x 52 Wrapper: Cuba Binder: Cuba Filler: Cuba Box C...
Jul 09, 2019•3 hr 44 min•Transcript available on Metacast Whenever beer chugging is in the mainstream news, we tend to talk about it on the show. Chugging in the outside world should be celebrated! So tonight we start things off by making fun of Aaron Rodgers and his disastrous attempt to chug a beer at an NBA game. Turns out he’s just as overrated as a drinker as he is as an NFL quarterback. And I’m NOT just saying that because I’m a lifelong Chicago Bears fan, one thing has nothing to do with the other. So we kick this episode off by me chugging two ...
Jun 18, 2019•3 hr 18 min•Transcript available on Metacast I imagine there’s a lot of podcasts out there that have interviewed Willy Herrera over the years. But how many of them have done it while chugging copious glasses of rum and doing Miami Vice Shots? That’s right folks, only your friendly neighborhood Tuesday Night Cigar Club. And remarkably the Master Cigar Blender seemed to have a good time right along with us! What can I say, we’re pros. And we gave away a fucking amazing piece of original artwork from Subculture Studios during our Willy interv...
Jun 04, 2019•3 hr 30 min•Transcript available on Metacast I’m not saying that we were paid a surprise visit by a certain celebrity on tonight’s episode… and I’m also not saying that this certain 80’s heartthrob didn’t make an appearance. You’re just going to have to click the links below and find out for yourself. But I will say with 100% confidence that this is one very entertaining show and you will be a better human being after joining us for a couple hours. So pour yourself a drink and let’s do this! THE CIGAR – MILK & COOKIES by EZRA ZION Size: 6×...
May 21, 2019•3 hr 30 min•Transcript available on Metacast And that quote above could just as well apply to us here at the Tuesday Night Cigar Club, we thought our weekly gatherings at our beloved pub where we drank and smoked and talked about movies into the wee hours of the night WAS the greatest thing ever and we’ve worked hard to bring that concept to you, the masses, our loyal listeners, for 94 episodes now. But just like putting avocado or hash browns or mozzarella sticks on a burger, I’m not all of a sudden going to start adding a segment where w...
May 07, 2019•3 hr 48 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome everybody to The Tuesday Night Cigar Club’s first annual 4/20 Hemptastic & Drunktasticer Fucked Up Extravaganza! Episode 39! Or 93.

Apr 19, 2019•3 hr 32 min•Transcript available on Metacast If you missed this episode as it was broadcast live on our Facebook page then you really missed out. We gave away several tickets to CATS Fest, Derek Matthews from Black Label Trading Company was in the house to make a major announcement, and on top of all that goodness yours truly made some controversial (yet highly innocent and playful) jokes that enough folks at the table found offensive to lead me to edit them out of the show you’ll (still very much) enjoy by clicking the links below. So in ...
Apr 16, 2019•2 hr 44 min•Transcript available on Metacast Cuban cigars are one of the most counterfeited products out there. If your uncle brought you a Cuban cigar back from his Mexican vacation – it’s fake. If your boss hands you a Cuban cigar he picked up on the beach in Jamaica – it’s super duper fake. Tonight we smoke a very real, absolutely authentic Cuban cigar on the show. But our film stars a very fake, completely counterfeit Charles Bronson. This is why we’re pairing professionals. THE CIGAR – PARTAGÁS SERIE D No. 4 Size: 4.9 x 50 (robusto) W...
Mar 26, 2019•3 hr 47 min•Transcript available on Metacast Holy shit it’s our 3rd annual (we got drunk and forgot to do it our first year on the air) Saint Patty’s Day Drinking & Chugging Beer & Drinking Extravaganza!!! So after filling The Boot Of Remembrance for Luke Perry, we all get drunk and talk like 90210’s Dylan McKay a bunch tonight. If you have a problem with that, well, that’s on you and we will wish you happy trails. I mean, Jesus, everything ends badly otherwise it would never end. That’s a Dylan McKay quote. Get used to it. THE CIGAR – WAS...
Mar 17, 2019•3 hr 13 min•Transcript available on Metacast After listening to another cigar podcast recently (something I don’t believe I’d ever done before), I decided to start off tonight’s show with a brief discussion about how “podcasts are dying and shitty podcasters are killing them”. Seriously – if you’re only goal is to hear your own voice and you bring absolutely nothing new or even slightly interesting to the table just fuck off. As our good friend Jonathan Drew might ask – what’s your raison d’être, your reason for being? Having said all that...
Mar 10, 2019•3 hr 35 min•Transcript available on Metacast Tonight we’re joined by a very special guest, our friend Skye Borgman who directed tonight’s film Abducted In Plain Sight. You may have watched it recently on Netflix, if not you’re one of the few who haven’t sat in front of the screen with your jaw hanging on the ground in total disbelief at this remarkable documentary. We treat this episode like a real-time director’s commentary where the TNCC crew does its usual thing of talking their way through a film BUT with the added invaluable addition ...
Feb 19, 2019•4 hr 43 min•Transcript available on Metacast I honestly thought cinematic comedy was barely breathing at Death’s door these days. It had been so long since I hurt my gut laughing at a movie that I almost gave up hope… boy, am I’m glad that I didn’t. Tonight’s film is beyond funny. And luckily tonight’s cigars and beer were both far beyond average as well. This is a party you will want in on, trust me. THE CIGAR #1 – NEANDERTHAL GENETIC DEFORMITY Size: 4 1/4 x 52 Wrapper: US Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro & Ecuador Habano Ligero Barberpole Bi...
Feb 07, 2019•3 hr 6 min•Transcript available on Metacast Happy New Year! We’re back with one of our best episodes in a long while and I sincerely hope you enjoy listening/watching as much as we enjoyed recording it. An amazing beer, a good cigar, and an Anna Nicole Smith high-stakes espionage thriller. That’s a literal recipe for my own personal happiness right there. Oh and we talk about dicks a lot.

Jan 23, 2019•3 hr 57 min•Transcript available on Metacast Well folks, this wasn’t supposed to be our last episode of the year but sometimes shit happens and there’s nothing that can be done about it. The good news is that luckily we say sayonara to 2018 in style as we welcome cigar industry legend Steve Saka on the show to educate our ignorant drunk asses and introduce his latest creation. It’s a fun, informative, life affirming Tuesday Night Cigar Club that will melt your minds… and your hearts. THE CIGAR – SIN COMPROMISO NO. 5 by DUNBARTON TOBACCO & ...
Dec 27, 2018•3 hr 44 min•Transcript available on Metacast Yes, folks, we talk about some really weird shit on tonight’s episode and severed demon heads are just the tip of the iceberg. It’s a weird, fun, informative show and I think you’re going to enjoy the hell out of it so click on the links at the bottom of this page and JOIN THE PARTY!!!

Dec 11, 2018•4 hr 45 min•Transcript available on Metacast If your party stories start with “I was at spring break” that’s just fucking weak sauce. Your party story should start on some random Thursday afternoon and go from there. I wasn’t invited on spring break trips cause I’d break spring break. Yes folks, we talk a lot about partying on tonight’s show because this evening’s movie features a bunch of partying posers and we decided it was up to us to show them (the fictional characters who have no idea we exist) how it’s done. It make sense if you sto...
Nov 27, 2018•3 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast What’s getting three big thumbs down from the TNCC crew? The cigar? The beer? The highly popular new Halloween movie?

Oct 23, 2018•4 hr 44 min•Transcript available on Metacast Well boys and ghouls, we are officially smack dab in the middle of our annual “Countdown to Halloween Bootacular & Spooktastic Drinking Extravaganza”! As loyal listeners of the show know well by now, the TNCC loves this time of year and we always look forward to programming a fun batch of horror films to talk you through on a crisp October night as you put your feet up by the fireplace and sip on something tasty. Unless you live in Central Texas, like us, where it’s still 90 fucking degrees outs...
