    A Cigar Double Header

    Drop us a line! Let us know your out there! This week, Scott, Greg, Larry, and Anthony load up the humidor for a double header worth savoring. First up, we crack open the newest release from Apostate Cigars — The Lost Pages — marking the brand's surprising first foray into machine-made cigarillos. Can Apostate translate their signature magic into a smaller, faster format? We break it down stick by stick. Then we switch gears entirely, torching up the Drew Estate Blackened S84 in Toro — a bold, whiskey-barrel-aged powerhouse that couldn't be more different from our first smoke. Two cigars, two completely different experiences, both an absolute joy to smoke. Along the way, we dig into fan mail, trade our usual b******t, and catch you up on the latest cigar industry news. Plus, get a sneak peek at next Sunday's special episode — our full recap of the Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival, straight from Cheyenne Wyoming. Grab a cigar, pour something strong, and settle in — it's another episode Beyond the Humidor. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

    Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival 2026 Pregame

    Drop us a line! Let us know your out there! rab your favorite stick and settle in, folks — the boys are back and this time Greg's got backup. Well, sort of. In this episode, Greg is joined by William Brown of Brown's Life Oasis Podcast and Tommy Elledge of Traveling with Cigars and Pipes for a pregame session ahead of the Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival 2026. Three hosts, three cigars, and — as always — approximately zero functioning pieces of recording equipment. Yes, we're bringing you our patented technology disaster, live and unfiltered, because at Beyond the Humidor we believe suffering builds character (and content). On the smoking docket tonight: William's puffing away on a Kristof Tres Compadras, Tommy's working through a Nub Habano, and Greg's got his hands on the Caldwell Blind Man's Puff Chico — which, considering what's about to happen to him, feels weirdly on the nose. We're all supposedly hyped for the Festival... well, two of us genuinely are. Because unbeknownst to Greg, William and Tommy have been cooking up a little something behind the scenes, and he has absolutely no idea what's coming. Buckle up, Greg. It's gonna be a bumpy — and hilarious — ride. So light one up, pour something brown, and settle in for cigar talk, festival hype, terrible tech luck, and a surprise that's gonna leave one host very suspicious of his co-hosts.

    If Only You Could Get These

    Drop us a line! Let us know your out there! This week on Beyond the Humidor, Greg, Scott, Larry, and Anthony fire up a house blend that's boldly claiming Cuban, Nicaraguan, AND Dominican tobaccos in one stick — because apparently subtlety is dead and we're just throwing every hemisphere into a single wrapper now. Does it deliver, or is it a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none situation? You'll have to light one up and find out with us. Larry, Greg, and Anthony also swap stories from the Nevada County Sheriff's Association's annual fundraiser — a good cause, good cigars, and (we're guessing) at least one questionable decision made in the name of charity. As always, we've got a fan letter to read (don't worry, it's mostly nice), the latest cigar industry news that actually matters, and our usual completely unfiltered, borderline-unhinged banter that you've come to expect — and honestly, deserve. Grab a cigar, pour something brown, and settle in. Just... maybe don't expect to actually get one of these sticks anytime soon. That's kind of the point. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

    Cruise Ships, Cutbacks, and a Comeback Letter — Ferio Tego Metropolitan LE 30 Years

    Drop us a line! Let us know your out there! Scott, Greg, Larry, and Anthony are back in the humidor, and this time the smoke of choice is the Ferio Tego Metropolitan Limited-Edition 30 Years — because apparently regular cigars just weren't cutting it for this crew anymore. Buckle up, this one's a full ride. We finally get to open that listener letter — you know, the one from the guy we roasted a little (okay, a lot) last episode. Spoiler: he didn't just take it, he clapped back. Respect where it's due — the man showed up and brought receipts. We're reading it live, unedited, and reacting in real time. Meanwhile, Scott rolled back into town from a Dominican Republic cruise looking suspiciously tan and suspiciously smug, and Anthony survived his very first-ever cruise — to Ensenada, of all places — and lived to tell the tale (barely). Naturally, the two travel stories collide into a full-blown comparison of who had the better trip, who packed the better cigars, and who made the more questionable life choices at sea. As always, expect zero filter, a whole lot of bull, and the kind of banter that only three guys who've smoked way too many cigars together can produce. Grab something worth 30 years of aging, pour something strong, and settle in. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

    Oasis Talk 3.0

    Drop us a line! Let us know your out there! Get ready for an extra special, slightly chaotic, and undeniably entertaining episode of Oasis Talk! With Scott and Larry off the grid, Greg's holding down the fort (or, you know, the mic) and he's not alone. He's wrangled two fantastic guests to keep the good times rolling: William Brown from the Browns Life Podcast and Tommy Elledge of Traveling with Cigars and Pipes! Join this dynamic trio as they light up some seriously good cigars, share a few laughs, and maybe even a little good-natured ribbing. They'll be diving headfirst into all the buzz surrounding the upcoming Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival, dishing out the latest cigar news, and, of course, delivering the signature banter you've come to expect (and love!). Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or just love a good cigar chat, this episode is packed with fun, insights, and enough sarcasm to keep you grinning. Tune in and enjoy the smoke!

    While the Cats Away ... Budget Cigar!

    Drop us a line! Let us know your out there! Scott's living his best life on a cruise ship somewhere in the Caribbean, leaving Larry, Greg, and Anthony to fend for themselves in the humidor—and frankly, things are getting weird. While the cat's away (or bedraggled seagull ... were not sure), the mice will smoke... budget cigars? This week, the boys put their wallets away and dive deep into the Rocky Patel Cargo, proving you don't need to break the bank to enjoy a decent stick. But first, they go completely off the rails with a passionate (and possibly hangry) rant about the dining scene in Auburn, CA—because nothing pairs with a value smoke like fat guys talking about local eateries. A "wayward" fan finally breaks the radio silence and writes in (we're as shocked as you are), plus we get the inside scoop on two hot new releases from some heavy-hitting manufacturers. Expect the usual BS, questionable humidor etiquette, and the kind of chaotic chemistry that only happens when the responsible one is sipping umbrella drinks on a boat. Light one up and join the madness. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

    My Father Le Bijou 1922 Petit Robusto

    Drop us a line! Let us know your out there! In this episode, we light up the My Father Le Bijou 1922 Petit Robusto, a cigar provided by the one and only Tommy Elledge from Traveling with Cigars! Prepare for a deep dive into its rich flavors and impeccable construction, as we puff our way through a detailed review. But that's not all! We also take a moment to remember Tommy's late wife, Lelani, and her impactful work on the Idaho Working Animals Protection Act. Her dedication and passion continue to inspire us all. Of course, it wouldn't be our show without a healthy dose of banter and BS. So, grab your favorite stick, pour yourself a drink, and join us for another episode filled with laughter, insightful commentary, and maybe a few questionable opinions. You've been warned!
