Episode 600. Mike Palmer is in Estelí, he was bored, and he sent Mikey a stack of completely made-up news articles assuming he wouldn't read ahead. Mikey read ahead. He covered them anyway.Guest co-hosting is Florida broker Jeff Gruver — full-time Casa Carrillo, part-time Aganorsa Leaf, at least until Terrence Riley calls in and fires him live on the show. Phil McGuffey is in engineering. What starts as a simple question — who's the second-best sales rep in Florida? — turns into a 20-minute phone tour of the state's brokers, none of whom will answer it.Real cigar news starts at 31:18: Cavalier Genève opens a Houston-area warehouse, Crowned Heads readies the 2026 Las Calaveras, and RoMa Craft Tobac ships Scuttlebutt. Then it's What's the Score? on halfwheel's Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion 1794 review — and for the first time, a tie.CHAPTERS0:00 Cold open — heads up, today's news is fake2:00 Jeff's camera will not stop being blurry3:16 CHPOD merch, the GGG Superstar shirt & Patreon4:05 Comments from the last show5:20 Back on the eVTOL flying cars6:40 Jeff's freestyle intro7:10 So who IS the second-best rep in Florida?10:00 Calling Pete Hernandez10:20 Calling Alfredo12:20 More comments — does the government have its own cell service?14:15 Jeff is hiring a driver (ex-military or ex-cop preferred)15:40 What we're smoking: the Casa Carrillo Ascend17:20 This week's giveaway: a hat and a cigar18:40 FAKE NEWS: Disney goes all-in on TikTok20:20 "I don't plant it, I don't roll it" — what a broker actually does21:00 FAKE NEWS: first contact in Iran's Lut Desert22:50 The E.T. light-up finger that got pulled from shelves23:40 Terrence Riley calls in25:20 Terrence fires Jeff, live27:20 Alfredo calls back and still won't answer the question30:40 FAKE NEWS: Michael Jordan returns to the NBA31:00 The reveal — Palmer sent all of it from Estelí31:18 CIGAR NEWS31:20 Cavalier Genève opens a Houston-area warehouse34:00 The brand Jeff most wants to carry34:40 Asking George Padrón for a job, every single time36:40 Crowned Heads Las Calaveras Décimo 202640:20 RoMa Craft Tobac Scuttlebutt42:20 WHAT'S THE SCORE?43:40 Clue one — Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion 179450:20 Final answers51:40 The score, and a rare tie52:30 Jeff's Casa Carrillo event in Sarasota53:30 The Ascend: blend, sizes and flavor56:00 The sparklers nearly set Jeff on fire57:00 Thanks and out——————————————ABOUT CHPODThe Cigar Hustlers Podcast is a premium-cigar, news, and culture talk show — honest conversation, industry commentary, and cigar reviews, new episodes every weekday.▶ Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss an episode.👍 Like and comment — your comment might get read on a future show.GIVEAWAYComment the number Mikey guessed in What's the Score? — first correct comment wins a Casa Carrillo hat and an Ascend.

No U.S. cigar news today — so episode 599 of the Cigar Hustlers Podcast goes international. Mikey and Steve are on the desk with Phil McGuffey in engineering, covering Singapore's plain-packaging rollout, a new technical book on lounge air quality, and one of the best "what does your cigar say about you" conversations the show has done.Before that: Florida wants to test flying cars (eVTOL air taxis) at SunTrax in Polk County before the end of 2026, a federal judge lifts NFA restrictions on silencers and short-barreled rifles for certain Texans, and Pinellas County Schools bans Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses from campus. Then it's "What's the Score?" on halfwheel's Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro Robusto review.

Two first-time guest hosts take over the desk on episode 598 of the Cigar Hustlers Podcast — "Siggy the beer guy" and Cheanno join the show for cigar news, a beer-and-cigar pairing, and one of the closest "What's the Score?" rounds yet.On the news desk: the Bandolero Firecracker 2026 from United Cigars ships, Miklef adds Orange to its color series, and the European Cigar Manufacturers Association flags a proposed 1300% tobacco tax change in Germany, plain-packaging consultation in the UK, and a terrace/private-club smoking ban headed to the Spanish parliament. Then it's "What's the Score?" on halfwheel's Camacho Liberty 2020 redux review, plus a real conversation about which cigars actually age well.

Episode 235 turns up the heat as the guys sit down with the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sobremesa Tapa Negra and catch up on everything happening around the cigar world.Patrol Gone Wild goes completely off the rails with a Popeyes employee accused of doing the unthinkable to raw chicken, cocaine bricks stamped with Erling Haaland’s face, and an indecent exposure arrest that has to be heard to be believed.Then Caleb’s News covers the latest releases from Lure Cigars and Room101, plus a brand-new 10-year expression from Old Elk.And just when the show should’ve ended… Caleb makes the questionable decision to take on the Red Hot Reaper Chip Challenge, again….https://linktr.ee/downtoherfpodcast

According to the agency, the business owners used multiple space heaters to keep the animals warm. An electrical breaker later tripped, cutting power to the heaters and causing the sloths to die.A second shipment arrived from Peru in February 2025.FWC said two sloths arrived dead from disease. The remaining eight animals were already sick and later died, bringing the total number of deaths to 31.The agency said it first learned about the business in December 2024 after receiving a general inquiry from the mother of a man who had seen an advertisement saying Sloth World was hiring. She wanted to know whether the business was legitimate.“As far as FWC is concerned, our first reach-out about Sloth World was just inquiring to see if it was a business,” an agency official said. “They did not yet have any animals, nor was the business open.”FWC said it did not receive its first tip prompting an inspection until July 2025, months after the sloths had died.A veteran captive wildlife investigator then conducted multiple inspections over the following months.Agency officials said the animals present during those inspections appeared healthy, had adequate food and water and were being kept in enclosures that met state requirements. Investigators documented one minor issue involving a quarantine cage.“During their inspections, they didn’t see anything with the care and maintenance, with the food, water, nutrition or cage sizes,” Maj. John Wilke said.The agency also stressed that its investigators are not veterinarians and are not responsible for diagnosing diseases.FWC officials said the lead investigator assigned to the case has more than 30 years of experience, including nearly three decades working with captive wildlife.“If he saw any kinds of neglect or abuse, he would have addressed it right there,” Wilke added.FWC leadership said it fully supports the way its Orlando staff handled the investigation.Although no criminal charges were filed, the agency said it has changed its policies in an effort to prevent a similar incident.Sloths were previously brought into Florida under a blanket import permit that only required the state to be notified after the animals arrived.Under the new policy, importers must provide advance notice. That will allow investigators to inspect facilities before sloths are brought into the state.FWC said it can strengthen oversight once exotic animals enter Florida, but it does not have the authority to stop sloth imports altogether. Officials said much of that authority rests with federal agencies.Florida serves as an entry point for a significant number of exotic animals imported into the United States, and officials said there is no indication that will stop anytime soon.FWC also acknowledged that sloths present unique challenges. The animals can hide signs of illness and are highly vulnerable to stress during capture and transportation.The agency said it is now working with accredited zoos and wildlife experts to provide investigators with additional training specific to sloth health, behavior and care.Meanwhile, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the deaths. Its report is expected in early August.
