Back to EpisodesFrom Barrel To Burn: The Cigar Batch Episode
Description
In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Damon from Open Season Operator along with some fun tidbits from our buddy Theron. We dive deep into the origins of the legendary Cigar Batch whiskey—where it came from, why it blew up, and what makes it such a unique pour in the bourbon world.
From there, we roll into a quick history lesson on cigars themselves, exploring how they evolved from ancient ritual to modern luxury. We also break down some of the most iconic cigar-smoking characters in fiction and non-fiction—from stone-cold badasses to larger-than-life personalities who helped define the “cigar guy” archetype.
To wrap things up, we pivot into monster territory with a discussion on the brand-new Frankenstein movie, what the film gets right, and why the classic monster still hits today.
Pour something good, light up if you’ve got it, and come hang out for a mix of bourbon lore, cigar culture, pop-culture fun, and monster madness.
