(August 29, 2023 - Hour One)

9:14pm - The conversation of BBQ pits continues as we lead the show tonight with the founder of Cotton Gin Smokers, Matt Messer. Matt will talk about his background and how he got into the pit building business and how it evolved into Cotton Gin Smokers. He has some pretty unique looking drums and some others that are even more eye-catching!

9:35pm - After Matt, I will be joined by my personal cigar guru/expert and the co-host of The Cigar Authority podcast, Mr. Jonathan! Last time he was on we learned all about what the wrapper does for the cigar and tonight we will learn what the binder does! If you are a seasoned cigar smoker or just new into this hobby, these "deep dives" into how the cigar is made are great to increase your knowledge and appreciation for these hand-rolled pieces of art!
