Cigars Daily LIVE 399 (How Columbus Accidentally Invented The Cigar)

In this week’s episode of Cigars Daily LIVE, we’re rolling back the clock more than 600 years to uncover how a few curious explorers, a sacred island ritual, and one very unlucky Spaniard gave birth to the modern cigar.

Join Me, Amber, Terrence, and Billy for a hilarious, history-packed, game-show-style story time that covers it all — from the Taíno shamans and their “Cohibas”, to Rodrigo de Jerez, the first European to light up and (believe it or not) get thrown in jail for it. This episode will bring you back in time to gather a true appreciation for everything that has gone into creating the bustling world of premium handmade cigars that exists today.

Of course, my name is Tim. I'm the host of this show. And YOU are the co-host. Your comments and questions will drive the episode. So grab a chair and a beverage to pair. Then drop your cigar comments and questions.
