Hey LL Peeps!!We've hit a touchy subject! Is it touchy though? We are talking about lounge etiquette. These are a list of things you should OR SHOULDN'T be doing when you are out at a cigar lounge with yourself or with your buddies. Honestly, is this pretentious or common sense? Have you ever sat in a lounge and looked around and saw people doing things and asked yourself, "should I be doing that?" Well if you have, it might be on this list.We are also going over what's new in the world of cigars. We've each got two news articles to share with our loyal watchers. PLUS, stay tuned to see what stood out to us during the last two weeks between tapings. Good or Bad, you're gonna hear about it. And we also go over what we're smoking on tonight! Maybe it's something you've had, or maybe it's something you haven't. So sit back, relax, grab a cigar and a drink, and ALWAYS remember to LIVE the Lounge Life!
Hey LL Fam!We have a really cool show for you today. We are pulling out some of our favorite Budget Sticks and sharing them with you! Let's talk about the word budget for a second.

We will be giving you our picks of some of the BEST cigars around $10 and under for your humidor. There are both Boutique AND Legacy brands on this list so if you're one of THOSE GUYS that only smoke a certain type of stick well then you are absolutely represented here! So sit back, grab your favorite (budget) stick, pour a drink, and enjoy and remember to ALWAYS live the Lounge Life!

Hey Lounge Lizards! Welcome back to the Lounge Life Podcast where today we will be talking about aging tobacco and why tobacco should be aged and how. We also called in a good friend of ours, DJ, to help us with the episode. BONUS: to correctly talk about the episode, DJ so graciously put together a little aged tobacco care package for us to smoke while on the air. He sent us each three sticks. One was the 2022 Four Kicks: Mule Kick from Crowned Heads, another was a 2018 La Mission from Tatuaje, and the last was a TAA 2015 Angel's Anvil from Crowned Heads as well. We all decided to smoke the 10 year old cigar. Why? HECK WHY NOT!!! So we lit up and shared some news stories, talked about some stuff we smoked during the week, and finally had a discussion about aged tobacco and what are the effects and how to create such great flavors. We are always available on three platforms. Were available on Youtube as a video, as well as Spotify and Apple Podcasts for audio only. Check us out on any of the three platforms. Like and Sub to us. We truly do this out of the love of tobacco and hope you guys see that. So remember, ALWAYS Live the Lounge Life.
