About this Podcast:

Welcome to The Cigar Caucus, a space for civil discourse hosted by former U.S Senator Tim Hutchinson. With warmth and wit, Tim explores legacy, faith, and friendship, offering a personal glimpse into politics. Join him for thoughtful conversations that shape our lives and nation. Origins of the Cigar Caucus ​ It started a decade ago—not in hearing rooms or campaign offices, but on porches and patios where a handful of us gathered for two simple pleasures: good cigars and good conversation. Politics brought us together, but once the cigars were lit, labels faded. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, veterans of campaigns and those who avoided them—we became just friends swapping stories over a slow-burning leaf. ​ We talked about everything from tax policy to SEC football, foreign affairs to the best way to light a Churchill on a windy night. Occasionally we even solved the world’s problems, at least until someone had to leave to pick up grandkid
