What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is a great podcast all around. It’s entertaining, funny, informative, and interesting. Peter Griffen (Dave) and the cast never fail to deliver. One note I would add to improve the show; add decimal points to the strength-o-meter. Great show guys keep up the good work.

Tanasi Honey Company · May 2025

Outstanding podcast to learn the history and current news in the cigar world. Great insights into new cigars that are coming out. Good information on the care/storing/smoking of cigars. All around ball busting and Tom foolery, very entertaining.

A great cigar podcast with entertaining hosts and fantastic cigar information. I enjoy listening with or without a cigar…But it’s better while having a cigar!

stevesr86 · Jun 2022

Every week this podcast finds ways to be educational, informative, fun, and irreverent. They are passionate about the cigar industry, and share their knowledge willingly. They don’t agree on everything…heck, sometimes on nothing…making them the best cigar show anywhere.

Jeff Endrizzi · May 2022

I’ve been listing to this show for three years now. I’ve learned a lot and loved listing along with the entire Cigar Authority crew. I know every jingle and segment by heart and used to listen without fail each week. However, over the last few months the show has started to become unlistenable for me, the teasing of one cohost about his size and “gender preference” has gone from good natured ribbing to downright cattiness that I’m trying to get AWAY from in my week. The final straw for me was when my generation was accused of the very tired as hominem of “being lazy and not working”. I work hard, I’m part of the young generation your trying to get into your cigar stores but I can’t keep listing to week after week of continued unkind remarks. I’ve hit “unsubscribe”.
