Episode 405 Sunshine State Shenanigans

Welcome to Episode 405 of the Cigar Hustlers Podcast!
I’m Mike Palmer, joined by my co-host Mike Szczepankiewcz and our engineer Boots keeping us on track. Grab a cigar, kick back, and let’s get into it!
This week Florida turns into the Wild West as open carry laws get flipped on their head, and in true Sunshine State fashion, someone gets busted with a tote bag that literally said “Definitely Not A Bag Full of Drugs.” We’ve got all the highlights from NFL Week 2—including big wins, ugly losses, and injuries that could shake up the season.
