Podcast Setup
Since our first episode on January 14, 2023, “The Cigar Guys Podcast” has seen a remarkable evolution, reflecting our commitment to enhancing production quality. Our debut episode laid the groundwork for a series deeply rooted in cigar culture and lifestyle, featuring in-depth discussions about various cigars, lighters, cutters, and unique insights from the cigar industry. Over the course of the series, we’ve made significant improvements in lighting, camera setups, and software, all aimed at elevating the listening and viewing experience for our audience. This dedication to quality and improvement has resonated well within the cigar community, particularly among younger audiences interested in the world of premium cigars. Our podcast skillfully blends educational content with entertainment, hosted by Alex, Jared, Mark, and Zach, along with special guests from the cigar industry. You can experience the journey from our first episode on YouTube here: The Cigar Guys Podcast – First Episode.
