🔥 Episode 23 – The Cigar of the Year Draft (Between 2 Burns) 🔥

It’s draft day… cigar style. 🏈💨

In this episode, Jason and Ethan step into the war room for the Between 2 Burns Cigar of the Year Draft. We’re staring down a field of 40+ cigars, and each of us is drafting our top 10—no trades, no mercy, and plenty of trash talk.

Once the picks are locked in, the power shifts to YOU. Our customers and listeners will vote to narrow the field down to the final five nominees, which will ultimately battle it out for Cigar of the Year, announced next month at the Live Stogie Awards.

Expect hot takes, surprise picks, a few “HOW did you pass on that?!” moments, and a whole lot of cigar nerd debate.

🔥 Don’t miss your chance to make your voice heard in the Cigar of the Year voting
🔥 Don’t miss the Live Stogie Awards
🔥 And don’t miss this episode—it’s competitive, chaotic, and everything we love about cigars

Light one up and let the draft begin.

🔥 Episode 22 – Mail Bag Madness (Between 2 Burns) 🔥

We reached into the mail bag… and let’s just say, some of y’all need help. 😅

In this episode, Jason and Ethan crack open a full-blown Mail Bag session, answering real questions from customers, listeners, and followers who are deep in the cigar rabbit hole (or just trying not to mess up their first smoke). From “am I doing this right?” to “why does my cigar hate me?”, nothing is off limits and no question is safe.

It’s funny, it’s informative, and it’s exactly the kind of cigar shop banter you’d hear sitting at the lounge table with the guys who’ve already made the mistakes for you. Plus, we’re rolling straight into the holidays with some laughs, some good smoke talk, and a BIG announcement about our upcoming new location that you do not want to miss.

💨 Grab a cigar, grab a drink, and enjoy the chaos—because the mail bag is officially open.

🍂 Episode 21 – All About the Pipe 🍂

This week on Between 2 Burns, we’re putting down the cigars (just for a moment!) and stepping into the timeless world of pipes and pipe tobacco. Cleverly titled All About the Pipe, this episode brings in our good friend Waylon Stephens from Laudisi to guide us through everything you’ve ever wanted to know about pipe smoking — and plenty you didn’t know you needed.

Waylon breaks down his favorite tobaccos, explains the process of prepping and packing your pipe, and walks us through different pipe styles, techniques, and tips that even seasoned cigar smokers will appreciate. Jason and Ethan ask the questions everyone’s thinking… and a few that probably shouldn’t be asked on camera.

If you’ve ever been curious about pipes — or you just want to hear three guys geek out in the best way possible — this episode is loaded with knowledge, laughs, and plenty of “aha” moments.

It’s the perfect warm-up as we head toward our big Pipe Show on November 22 at the Greensboro location.

Light your bowl, settle in, and let’s talk pipes. 🪵🔥
