Tonight’s episode of Cigars Daily LIVE is a special one—because we’re blend testing something that should’ve never happened in the first place.

We’re diving into the early blending stages of a brand-new project for the Daily Edition lineup. The working title? Cock of the Walk—a cigar inspired by our very own chicken wrangling cast member – Billy.

We’re going through the first round of samples, looking for that one blend that can rise above the rest and earn its place in the humidor. This is the part of the cigar-making process that doesn’t get talked about enough. It’s messy, it’s subjective, it’s full of surprises—and it’s absolutely critical.

Nicaragua has risen to the apex of the cigar making world over the last few decades, but now that status is being called into question.

Cigar makers have been drawn to Nicaragua for it's nutrient rich soil and the powerful leaf it produces. However, over the last few years, nearly every cigar making family has made bold moves to build brand new factories and cigar making infrastructure in Honduras. So has Nicaragua had it's 15 minutes of fame? Is Honduras going to become the new cigar making capital of the world? On tonight's episode, we'll talk about this topic and what it means for cigars long term.

Ever wonder what the people who make cigars actually smoke?

Tonight on Cigars Daily LIVE, we're diving into the world of farm rolled cigars—the unbanded blends rolled right on the factory floor, not for retail, not for ratings… but for the rollers themselves. These are the blends that never hit the shelves but hold a special place in the hearts of those who spend their days crafting cigars for the world.

We'll be lighting up some of these rare, rustic beauties and talking about what makes them so unique—from their construction and flavor to the down-to-earth culture that surrounds them. This is the side of the cigar world you don’t usually see—the behind-the-scenes smokes meant for the people who live and breathe this craft every single day.
