Smoke & Steel is what happens when a group of cigar-smoking degenerates grab a mic and let the conversation roll.Born in a garage, raised in a lounge, and fueled by good cigars and unfiltered stories — this podcast is part hangout, part therapy session, and part "what the hell did he just say?" We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we don’t expect you to either.Expect real talk, ridiculous laughs, and the kind of banter that usually stays behind lounge doors. Sometimes it’s deep, sometimes it’s dumb, but it’s always real.Hosted by a rotating crew of misfits from all walks of life

Episode #65
This week the ReXilient came up, and it turned into the best conversation we've had on the show in a while. Half the table thought Fuente's 9/11 tribute release was a genuinely good gesture. The other half wasn't sure...
Episode #64
We spent a good part of Episode 64 arguing about a cigar that costs about three dollars and sixty cents a stick, and whether that's disqualifying or exactly the point. Grievance Corner kicks things off with the Crowned...
Episode #63
We found out this week that apparently there are two versions of one of us: the guy who won't shut up on the mic, and the guy who says almost nothing standing in a cigar shop. Eric brought the story back from Chartwell...

A guy named Heath had been in our Discord for about a week. None of us knew him. Then he asked if he could share something he'd written a while back, an essay about nearly dying from a series of infections, starting...
Episode #59
Walt found a lyric in an old country song, went down a rabbit hole, and came out the other side connecting two Crowned Heads cigars to a trademark dispute. Then the crew told him the real story, and it was better than...
Episode #62
Rob Blumenthal joined us in the garage this week to talk about Tradecraft Cigars, the brand he launched on his own outside the family business. He walked us through the Gladius, the Azorian, and the Vitruvian, and by...
Episode #56
We built our own cigar rating system this week and used it for the first time. Five swords, one through five, no half points. By the end of the night, one cigar walked away with a perfect score. Plasencia sent us two...

Eddie walked into a vape shop looking for nothing in particular and walked out having bought every Plasencia they had in stock. Old Plasencia short fillers sitting next to current Alma Fuerte hexagons, priced like...
Episode #53
Bruce heard a saint story this week that stopped the whole table. A Polish soldier asked for a cigar instead of anesthesia before his leg was amputated in 1863, and he ended up canonized. We also get a full report on...
Episode #52
Sean from The Burnable was in Jersey for work this week, and instead of resting on his day off, he made the two-hour drive out to sit in the garage with us for the first time. It also happened to be the hottest day of...

We hit our one year anniversary and celebrated it by catching up with the LACC guys, going around the table on our favorite moments from the past twelve months, and watching Kyle finally tell Eric about a cigar two...
Episode #51
The Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut keeps coming up in the garage. This week we went to reorder and found out nearly every size is gone on Cigar Page. That's not a sponsored talking point - that's just what happens when a...

<p>We asked the Stogie Review Facebook Crew what discontinued cigar they'd bring back if they could. Thirty-seven comments came in. Then Rob said something that stopped the whole conversation cold - even if you could...
