In this episode, we look back at the best races of the 2025 F1 season and the best cigars in the market that defined 2025—from unforgettable on-track battles to the moments that had us standing up, yelling at the TV, and reaching for something special to light up. We debate what truly made a race like Silverstone (British GP) legendary, or the chaos to start the F1 2025 season in Melbourne (lowkey wishing the same for the 2026 f1 season), which drivers delivered when it mattered most, and which cigars earned their spot as 2025 best of the best. No scripts, no filters—just honest takes, strong opinions, and the kind of conversations that only happen between friends.

It's actually the thing that our subscription service revolved around from the very beginning... are you looking for strength? Well, we've dedicated an entire discussion to it. We believe this is something that most people understand enough to have an idea about what they want, and for that very reason we wanted to get into to it and identify why we like what we like.

This conversation came about as we've been closely observing the evolution of the cigar industry. It certainly appears like we're still in an "in-between" period where Cigar makers are a mix of the old school empires and the new world artists. This conversation could never be had without bringing up Matt Booth, and that's what happened. Learn more about MCP here: https://mycigarpack.com/details

A couple of hours with Casdagli's Brand Ambassador for North America. Vlada, thanks so much for joining us for this one, it was amazing and fun to have you! Covering everything from cigars to leisure was as much fun as one can have.

This one came from our audience, we've seen this question numerous times and figured we'd let you know how we make it work for us.  How to smoke cigars indoors? in the car? anywhere? We cover it.   

Thanks a million times over to Martin for joining us in this episode, and please forgive the every so slight audio delay between Mac and Martin.   

A couple of the most common questions we get on our instagram are related to international shipping and product development. When it comes to the former, the answer is straightforward, but for the latter, answers can be just as diverse as the results that can be achieved. In this episode we discuss a little bit of everything; from MAC's recent backpacking trip that claimed the life of two would-have been amazing cigars to the process of how a blend is actually selected for going into market.

We can't deny (or at least MAC can't deny) that the best thing to do as you await the reveal of the current year's top 10 cigars of the year is to reminisce about winners past. We scoured the internet from list to list, from cigar journal to blind man's puff, we chose to judge the judgement of the cigars we love for your enjoyment.

In a friendly discussion, Alex and MAC go back to the cigars of yesteryear that have been forgotten despite being great, on-demand, and highly coveted. This came about as MAC himself went back to Blood Diamond, a movie he believes to have been a forgotten great, and of course, brought the question into the cigar world.
