    Episode 225 The Last Generation Of Smokers! DTT Year Of The Pausers Review!

    This week we’re lighting up the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Year of the Pausers Tom’s Blend, a limited release honoring one of the cigar world’s most recognizable personalities. Does Steve Saka’s newest tribute cigar live up to the hype, or is it destined to be remembered more for the story than the smoke? We also dive into the controversy surrounding the recent Los Angeles mayoral primary, discuss Victoria’s Secret’s surprising return to a more traditional marketing approach and the stock surge that followed, and break down New York’s proposed generational tobacco ban. Plus, Jerry and Gio compare notes as the pressure mounts ahead of their upcoming promotional exams. Patrol Gone Wild brings us an ICE officer who wasn’t interested in negotiating with protesters, an officer delivering what may be the stiff-arm of the year, and a Philadelphia bourbon heist involving a product that some might argue should have been left behind. Caleb’s News features release announcements from Viso Horny and J.C. Newman before Four Roses drops details on yet another ultra-limited release that bourbon collectors will undoubtedly be chasing https://linktr.ee/downtoherfpodcast Support the show

    Episode 224 No Pouches In Paris! Espinosa 601 Blue 20th Anniversary Review!

    This week on Down to Herf, we're lighting up the brand-new 601 Blue 20th Anniversary from Espinosa Cigars and seeing if this celebratory release lives up to the legacy of one of the most beloved blends in the 601 portfolio. We also make our official picks for both the Stanley Cup Final and NBA Finals before diving into France's controversial nicotine pouch ban, which now includes penalties for possession and use. We also touch on the Enhanced Games announcing even bigger prize money for next year's competition. Patrol Gone Wild delivers another all-time lineup: a wild boat DWI, a man on the loose in Santa Clara accused of rubbing himself on women inside grocery stores, a domestic incident where the suspect literally tore the house apart, and an Atlanta judge and police chief finding themselves at the center of a scandal after a steamy encounter in the judge's chambers. In Caleb's News, we cover the latest release announcements from West Tampa Tobacco Co. and Artesano Del Tobacco before wrapping things up with news on Little Book Chapter 10 "All the Wiser," the newest release in Freddie Noe's annual whiskey series. https://linktr.ee/downtoherfpodcast Support the show

    Episode 223 "Enhanced Herf"! New Powstanie Sumatra Review!

    This week we fire up the brand new Powstanie Sumatra for a full review. The boys dive into the insanity surrounding the Enhanced Games and whether the future of sports is about to become chemically supercharged entertainment. We also break down the latest NHL playoff chaos, the ongoing Carter Hart controversy and media fallout, plus the disturbing details surrounding the recent White House shooter incident. Somehow the conversation gets even more unhinged from there. Patrol Gone Wild this week features one of the most ridiculous gangland stories we’ve ever covered — a Chicago gangster allegedly dressing like a baby to carry out hits on rivals. Then we get into a judge who surprisingly appreciated a defendant’s wildly unconventional courtroom attire before wrapping up with another absolutely chaotic taser deployment that has to be seen to be believed. Caleb’s News this week brings fresh cigar release announcements from Viaje and Triumph Cigars, along with discussion about Remus dropping yet another allocated whiskey bottle that bourbon hunters are already preparing to fight over. https://linktr.ee/downtoherfpodcast Support the show

    Episode 222 The Cigar Was Excellent. Humanity Wasn’t! HVC La Decoracion Review!

    This week we’re lighting up the HVC La Decoración, a Cuban-inspired release from Reinier Lorenzo that had us talking classic flavor profiles, medium-bodied balance, and whether the industry is finally shifting away from the “stronger is always better” era.  We also break down the recent NHL playoff chaos leading into the massive Game 7 showdown between Buffalo and Montreal, the fallout after the bizarre Rousey vs. Carano “fight,” and the heated debate surrounding some of the controversial casting choices for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey. Then somehow the conversation spirals into an absolutely wild post-Marine Corps Ball clip that has to be seen to be believed. Patrol Gone Wild brings the usual insanity this week featuring an unexpected guest locked inside a hotel bathroom, a Brazilian drug dealer who learned the hard way that sleeping on the job can ruin your whole operation, and some jaw-dropping behavior caught inside a courthouse. Caleb’s News features major news from Crowned Heads, a new release announcement from Placencia, and a fresh new expression from Green River Bourbon. https://linktr.ee/downtoherfpodcast Support the show

    Episode 221 You'll Smoke F'in Nothin! New Notorious Unapologetic Review!

    Episode 221 of the Down to Herf Podcast is here and this week we fire up the brand new Notorious Cigars Unapologetic from Conor McGregor’s cigar line. We break down the bold blend, flashy presentation, and whether this celebrity-backed smoke actually delivers in the humidor or just talks a big game. We also get into a wild weekend in combat sports after Sean Strickland shocked the MMA world with a massive upset victory, McDonald’s officially pulling the plug on self-serve drink machines, and why Philadelphia’s approach to handling the upcoming FIFA World Cup might actually be smarter than what other host cities are trying to do.  Patrol Gone Wild might need its own legal defense fund this week. We cover a drunken lunatic trying to run over a kid on a dirt bike, a judge absolutely unloading on a defendant over disrespectful language during a Zoom court appearance, and a suspect becoming VERY concerned about where he thought an officer’s hands were heading during a pat down search. Safe to say things escalated quickly.  Caleb’s News brings us a fresh release announcement from RoMa Craft while the whiskey world sees two new bottle drops from Frank August and Hooten Young. https://linktr.ee/downtoherfpodcast Support the show

    DTHP Episode 220 El Tigre Vs The White Monster! All New Undercrown El Tigre Review!

    Episode 220 of the Down to Herf Podcast is off to the races as we fire up the brand new Drew Estate Undercrown El Tigre Dominicano, one of the standout releases from the PCA 2026 Trade Show. We break down the blend, first impressions, and whether this Dominican spin on the Undercrown line lives up to the hype. From there the conversation shifts into the wild world of current events as we recap the 2026 Kentucky Derby results, laugh at the completely “unexpected” collapse and bankruptcy of Spirit Airlines, and react to the unbelievable story of a women’s MMA fighter claiming she “accidentally” took her husband’s anabolic steroids. Patrol Gone Wild this week brings absolute chaos with an explosive domestic dispute that went way beyond verbal arguments, a bizarre meth M&M caper that sounds too ridiculous to be real, and two cops who decided to have a little fun by answering a drug dealer’s ringing phone during an arrest. As expected, the callers did not disappoint. Caleb’s News keeps the cigar world rolling with fresh release announcements from Nova and Warfighter, while the whiskey side heats up with a look at several new additions coming to the Four Roses collection https://linktr.ee/downtoherfpodcast Support the show

    Episode 219 Marinero Mayhem!

    Episode 219 of Down to Herf comes in hot with a mix of sports, controversy, and a cigar that punches above its weight. We break down the ongoing NHL playoffs and how the matchups are shaping up, get into the chaos and surprises from the NFL Draft, and take a hard look at the recent controversy surrounding the Southern Poverty Law Center. In between all that, we light up the RoMa Craft Maquette El Marinero and give our honest take on how this compact stick delivers in flavor, strength, and overall value. Patrol Gone Wild this week does not disappoint. We cover an armed robbery suspect who went viral for her wild response to having a warrant, a completely unhinged individual who somehow kept fighting even after taking K9 bites, and a former Alabama football player now wrapped up in a major fraud scandal that’s raising a lot of eyebrows. Caleb’s News brings the industry updates you need to know, including fresh release announcements from E.P. Carrillo and Viaje. On the whiskey side, Jack Daniel’s is back at it again with another hazmat bottle, pushing proof limits and giving enthusiasts something serious to hunt down https://linktr.ee/downtoherfpodcast Support the show

    Episode 218 PCA 2026 Wrap Up!

    Episode 218 rolls in with us lighting up the freshly released Black Works Studio Boondock and giving our honest take on whether this one lives up to the hype or gets lost in the shuffle. From there, we unpack everything coming out of our trip to PCA 2026 in New Orleans—the chaos, the conversations, and most importantly the cigars. We break down the standout releases, the brands making real noise, and the sleepers you’ll want to grab before they disappear. If you weren’t there, this is the next best thing. Patrol Gone Wild is completely off the rails this week. We’ve got a LEGO bandit pulling off one of the weirdest crimes you’ll hear about, a drunken courtroom scene that feels more like a bad movie than real life, and a toe sucker finally getting what’s coming to him in a case that somehow keeps getting more disturbing the deeper it goes. Caleb’s news keeps the momentum going with fresh announcements from Room 101 and Tatuaje, both bringing some heat to the market. On the whiskey side, Blue Note is stepping into the allocated game with a new drop and we let you know if it’s worth chasing or just more hype fuel. https://linktr.ee/downtoherfpodcast Support the show
