    #26 - #SOSCUBA

    “Liberty is the right of every man to be honest. To think and speak without hypocrisy.” Jose Marti   “The most sacred thing is to be able to shut your own door” - GK Chesterton   Three Cuban-Americans and a guy from Hammond, Indiana sit down to talk about the current situation in Cuba. We discuss it’s history, how Cuba got to where it is at this historic moment, and what we can do to love the people of Cuba.  Their perspective is needed during this time of varying opinions. Voices of experience open up about this Caribbean island that has been at the center of global importance for decades, now in the throes of pain and possibly, a new beginning. This is a great episode and we encourage you to share it with friends who have questions about this troubling and politically charged event that began on July 11, 2021.    What we're smoking? The Toraño Exodus 1959, of course.

    #23 - The Beat Club with Jorge Milian and Jack Toraño

    In the early 1980s in Westchester Miami, Jorge Milian and some friends opened a transformative teen night club. Perfectly timed to ride the change of the legal drinking age to 21, the Beat Club was a hit. Hear the story of the club's rise and hey day from its owner, Jorge Milian. Thanks to Jack Toraño for being there to paint the Beat Club, AND for bringing the fantastic Espinosa cigars we enjoy as we record.
