In this episode of Tequila & A Story we chill with the Smoke Father aka Smoke at T.P. Cigar Lounge private bar.
Now of course we’re going to get into a ton of cigar talk, but we dive deep into some other topics as well!
We started off by discussing the cigar scene in Chicago and his impact on the growth of Chicago’s cigar industry.
We also get into some crazy stories involving the late great legend, Bernie Mac! Y’all have to tune in for these stories alone!
A couple other topics we give into are fatherhood, marriage, and a hell of a lot more.
We enjoy a @708cigars Limited Edition Barber Pole and @lotemaestrotequila extra añejo pours.
Want to also thank @connoisseursofthefinerthings for the gear as well, make sure to go pick up your apparel today!
