Sunday Cigar and more!
Started listening to this cause of the Sunday Cigar series and stuck around for the amazing content. I really enjoy the Sunday Cigar series because I got to know Amon and Juan’s personalities through the laidback format. Their chemistry and stories are alway engaging. I come away from episode a little bit more hyped and informed about cigars. If you’re looking for 2 genuine dudes just mixing it up and telling stories, look no further!
