When Steve Saka shows up, something big is usually about to be said. On this episode of Smoke Night LIVE, the Dojo crew is joined by Steve Saka of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust for a wide-ranging and candid conversation. Steve stops by to share major updates on the upcoming 10th Jubilee, developments within the Archive Series Todos Las Días, and what listeners can expect from a full-scale revamp of the StillWell Star line. As always, the discussion goes beyond announcements, diving into the thinking, challenges, and philosophy behind the decisions—making this one of those episodes cigar fans won’t want to miss.

Get ready for a special side-project episode as Patina y Viso steps into the spotlight—the cigar world’s equivalent of Audioslave to Soundgarden & Rage Against the Machine, bringing together the forces of Patina Cigars and Viso Horny in one unexpected supergroup.

We’ll get the full scoop on their latest project, Leprechaun Dust, take a victory lap through Patina’s huge year on the year-end lists, and dive into what’s next for the brand.

“Ladies and gentlemen… welcome to ROYAL RUMBLE III!”

The bell rings, the lists are locked in, and only ONE Cigar of the Year list can stand tall. In our annual year-end showdown, some of the biggest voices in cigar media collide in a no-holds-barred battle for supremacy. This year’s combatants enter the ring: Cigar Coop, Halfwheel, Developing Palates, and Bob the Cigar Guy. Each list throws its best punches, each pick faces the crowd’s judgment, and only one will emerge victorious. The audience decides the winner in this 10 round heavy weight match. The trash talk will be loud. The takes will be hot. And the chaos will be glorious. Don’t miss the most unhinged, high-energy show of the year—ROYAL RUMBLE III is about to go off the top rope.

On this episode of Smoke Night Live, it’s awards night. Throw on the tuxedo and join us as we roll out the red carpet for our annual Cigar of the Year Awards Show. After a full year of smoking, reviewing, blind testing, and heated debate, the Top 20 Cigars of 2025 have officially been announced—and we’re breaking it all down.

What makes a great fast-food burger? Is it the beef, the bun, the nostalgia—or just how it hits at the drive-thru?

This week, the Dojo crew is joined by Michael Herklots of Ferio Tego, Nick Libretti from JR Cigars, and William “Cigar Coop” Cooper for a no-holds-barred burger debate. Together, the panel builds an S-Tier ranking of fast-food burger chains, breaking down which joints deliver consistently—and which ones belong at the bottom of the list.

Expect strong opinions, heated arguments, and plenty of hot takes as we crown the best (and worst) burgers in the fast-food universe.

Hungry yet?

It’s been nearly two years since Laudisi Enterprises acquired Caldwell Cigars and Lost & Found, and plenty has happened behind the scenes since that announcement. On this week’s episode, Robert Caldwell joins the show as our special guest.

So pour some eggnog, spark up a cigar, toss another log on the fire, and settle in for this festive holiday episode.

So loosen the belt, drop an Alka-Seltzer, light up a cigar, and join the fun for this rare Saturday night episode of Smoke Night LIVE.
