In our most recent episode of The Cigar Guys podcast, we tackled an array of topics, ranging from the mysterious world of 5G to the convoluted structure of taxes, with a sprinkle of smoking the finest cigars and a dash of good-natured ribbing between friends. Your hosts, Alex, Jared, Mark, and Zach, gathered around to discuss, laugh, and share insights in the camaraderie that only a fine cigar can offer.
We started the conversation by diving into what each of us was smoking. Zach began with a Besa cigar, which we all prefer to refer to as the Rothschild rather than the traditional term ‘short robusto.’ This particular cigar’s rich, medium-bodied flavor is always a delight to return to, marking the start of our conversation on a high note.
Jared then chimed in with his choice for the day, a La Gloria Cubana. This superb cigar offers a lovely blend of flavors that pairs well with thoughtful discourse. On the other hand, Alex went for a lesser-known brand, Tobacco Estili, hailing from Nicaragua. It’s always exciting to sample cigars from various regions, as each provides unique tasting notes.
The conversation veered towards technology, with Mark leading the discourse on our internet services. We also delved into the mechanics of 5G, exploring the nuances of wavelengths and the relation of signal strength to antenna proximity. This led to a lively discussion on the implications of selling Wi-Fi access, which shows that no subject is off-limits for us Cigar Guys.
We further explored potential technological advancements, pondering on a future where AI avatars conduct interviews and how they already revolutionize content creation on platforms like TikTok. Even as we smoked traditional cigars, we weren’t shy to embrace the wave of modernity sweeping through our digital age.
As cigar enthusiasts, the topic of humidors naturally became our conversation. We marveled at the impeccable ash of Zach’s Rothschild, a testament to the ideal storage conditions of a well-maintained humidor. There’s something incredibly satisfying about a razor-sharp burn on a finely aged cigar.
Taking a break from technology and cigars, we touched on various social issues, including the need for younger representation in government offices and how online platforms contribute to that need. We also had a light-hearted debate about who was the better debater among us, with Alex recounting his high school debate club days and his near victory.
Then we turned our attention to taxes and the complexities that come with them. We discussed the progressive tax system in place and how earning more doesn’t necessarily mean paying a higher tax percentage on the entire income but only on the income above specific tax brackets. This detour into personal finance underscored how our discussions spanned various dimensions, even as the rich aroma of our cigars wafted around us.
Our conversation eventually circled back to technology and how it has evolved. We reminisced about the old days when programming required physical punch cards and how the term ‘bug’ in computer systems stemmed from a bug interfering with the paper-based code.
We wrapped up our session with a brief discussion about the influence of high-profile personalities on social media platforms. It was an exciting conversation that underscored the importance of thoughtful content and the power of a solid personal brand.
In conclusion, whether you are a seasoned cigar aficionado, a newbie to the world of cigars, or just someone interested in a group of friends chatting about life and the world, there’s a place for you in our podcast. This is a space where we challenge each other’s perspectives, learn from one another, and have a good laugh.
As we put out our cigars and switch off the mics, we carry the night’s conversations with us. The complexity of the cigars, the sound of laughter, and the diversity of our discussions make each podcast recording a special occasion. The joy of sharing this with a broader audience through The Cigar Guys podcast is an experience we cherish.
