🔥 Episode 27 – Season 2 Premiere: We Opened a Cigar Bar… Now What? 🔥

Season 2 starts the only way we know how—by pulling back the curtain.

After months (and what felt like years) of planning, meetings, setbacks, approvals, construction, second-guessing, ordering, rearranging, waiting, stressing, opening… and then realizing opening day was actually the easy part… we finally did it. We opened a cigar bar.

Now what?

In this episode of Between 2 Burns, Jason and Ethan sit down for an honest, funny, and behind-the-scenes conversation about everything it took to get to this point and what nobody tells you happens after the ribbon gets cut.

We talk about:
 💨 The moments where it felt impossible—and the moments that made it worth it
 🥃 Building more than a cigar shop and creating a true cigar bar and lounge experience
 📦 Ordering wins, ordering mistakes, and the things customers immediately proved us wrong on
 🍺 What people are actually buying vs. what we thought they’d buy
 🛠️ Things we’d do differently tomorrow
 🏆 Favorite moments so far and the surprises we never saw coming
 🔥 What happens next for the new location

This episode is less of a recap and more of a journal entry from the middle of the adventure. If you’ve ever wanted to open a business, wondered what goes into creating a cigar destination, or just want to hear two guys trying to figure it out one cigar at a time—this one’s for you.

Season 2 starts here.

Light one up, pour something good, and welcome to the next chapter of Between 2 Burns.
