Blowing Smoke Podcast

Comedy Fiction, Fiction

We rate the cigar. Then it gets weird.

The Blowing Smoke Podcast is a cigar review show that refuses to stay a cigar review. Hosts Ben Schexnider and David Sowell smoke and rate a new cigar in the first 5 to 10 minutes, then the conversation devolves into conspiracy theories, tall tales, faith, history, and whatever else comes up.

For fans of cigars, cigar culture, and unfiltered conversation. New episodes every Thursday. Grab a stick and join us.

The ratings: Ben 4.8, David 4.5, Justin 4.2. Then the conversation goes where it always goes: censorship, social credit, second chances, and raising kids.
