Transcript of the Review

I'm Kevin from cigar frog I'm Jesse from cigar prop and Jessica what have we got tonight we have cigars from this company that's called Frontline Cigars and this is called the Blue Line Cigar so this gentleman Steve reached out to me and we were talking back and forth and he sent me and Kevin some cigars to check out I'm just gonna read a little bit about the company says as a company front line cigars believes that every cigar should have a purpose in order to fulfill this vision front line cigars dedicated 10 dedicates 10 percent of all profits to help the Heroes Foundation a nonprofit organization dedicated to those who serve I'm sorry Kevin was there it looks really weird Oh Kevin you're ruining it so rest assured knowing that every purchase you make from frontline cigars goes back to helping a first responder or military professional active or retired in need for more information about the help for Heroes Foundation you can click here on their website which I think Kevin but I would assume it's you know frontline yeah just frontline cigars yeah and it'll be in the show notes down below okay in addition to donating a portion of the proceeds to help the Heroes Foundation frontline frontline cigars also works with additional charities and causes that help those who serve we currently offer the ability to purchase a cigar for a warrior this a Spivak item helps show a warrior your appreciation for his or her service yet in addition when purchasing this item two dollars per stick will be sent to the active warriors foundation to support Justin's final mission for more information about these charities and how frontline cigars help those who serve see our blog that's on their website frontline cigars strive to provide a wide range of cigar is available for purchase for inquiries or suggestions about cigars you would like to see on our website contact contact them directly and there information on how to do that the blue line cigar is an ecuadorian habanero wrapper from the dominican republic a medium body cigar lots of great flavor from earthy tones and a hint of spice while still being very smooth this cigar provides plenty of flavor this is offered in a row busto five by fifty and it's medium in strength a five pack for 30 dollars and 98 cents so I am so excited about this only because you know it's not just you know oh we're helping you know like our veterans or people who are serving or you know our you know police officers or first responders just you know any kind of cigar company that has like their charity bases there's like the ones that I kind of gravitate towards exactly um you know but I just think after talking to Steve and stuff like we you know had some stuff in common personally too and I thought that was kind of cool so you just never know what's gonna like bring you together exactly and I said Steve didn't reach out to me yeah he reached out to Jessica that's walking about some stuff and then he asked if he could send us some cigars and you know and and I said we both chat with people throughout the cigar industry and I love it when Jessica and I shall share with me that these in-depth conversations that she has with these other cigar smoking and males cigar owners everything else and it's and it's cool to see their their conversations back and forth because it's not like hey pretty lady there had been a couple hey can you smoke the whatever the yeah I don't know I never I was going I thought about it and I think you know what we know yeah I'm not going to try to find some singer ello types of our cigarettes to smoke for and take pictures or videos I don't even know what I was supposed to do and I was intrigued at first but then I was like no is this is like something some weird fetish which is just whatever each is to their own yeah you do you do you and I'm gonna do me but I'm so excited to try this try the cigar a bit cool it's called the blue line yeah so cool band on that was over there yep and then I'm gonna stick mine which I'm sure I mean he's been in my humidor they come with they come with faux but ah yeah they've been in the humidor for weeks so mine leveled off it's 70 exactly just a little high for me but um I'm gonna have him problem Mike humidor again and then before I cut and lighted the only must these are Ecuadorian Habano I said that you said how in Nero did I yeah what that's awesome ticket yeah you know whatever I'm not a cigar like talker like Kevin so I don't know I know I think I needed to turn it off or start it fresh and I did it alright mine's at 73 okay 72 72 all right that's awesome there's a nice smell to the wrapper there we go forgot I turned it down when I build and bled it and I never turned it back up I had a good taste right there on the the semi cold draw there we go God so night she just seems like you never could never get it lit now I know song I said notice on his website and then he had mentioned to you he also carries don Rafa sweets then he carries some some of the CA o cigars and then I believe in his message he says is it Brandon that that reps for Don Rafa but I guess Dom Rafa also is his supplier for cigars a shipper for cigars yeah so if you're looking for the Don Rafa sweets the Dhamma office cigars you got frontline does carrying them like I said along with a couple caos very good website very very intuitive Steve I would just work on your pictures a little bit the pictures are a little on the website on the website their Instagram is really cool yeah there were some good ones that the with the Instagram but on the website not so much shadowing it's it's listen there's cigar websites out there that are here that so the fact that your website is good and you just need to work on your pictures is oh yeah yeah it's right I like my menu on the side like I said it's very intuitive so sorry yeah I think like definitely look into them because of the charity that they you know everyone kind of knows cigar for warriors yes you know they're linked up with them and then they also do some other side charities and stuff so I mean it's just a really cool company that they have going on there for what they're doing for the first responders and for the military so but man this band is I mean it's just such a cool cuz I'm almost almost holographic you mean a school skull is alright my first initial anything was this cigar smells amazing yes it smells so good I'm getting an easy draw it's not anything like spicy or like over-the-top but it's it's got like a nice just a smoothness there's not really anything other than just a dip at the tobacco flavor for me at this point yeah same here I'm super not too light of a drawl not a snifter all just a good draw what you're expecting nothing nothing spicy I mean there's just a little bit I mean all cigars just have a little have a little bit of so it's got a little bit of spice for a cigar that's about you know and I always I throw the price in there you know she hates the price you know about 650 675 I take them how much it was for a five pack so you can do it math yeah so it's like cinch and go to your websites gonna do how much so yeah no no for like for like a you know 675 with $7 a cigar it's a great it's an art it's not something that you know it's not a cheap four dollar cigars on expensive $12 a good middle ground and I also didn't get like you know how sometimes when you first take like a puff there's like a little bit of a bitterness sometimes on these type of wrappers there while I was I was expecting that also and then some of the the boutique cigars and that I have found and that's what you brace for is a little bit of bitterness a little bit of sourness for those first few minutes and it wasn't it wasn't there at all I mean it's a well-constructed cigar yeah no lumps no bumps no seams and just a really really yeah it was bracing myself I thought okay there's gonna be a little bit of that bitter sourness but there there really wasn't I was yeah yeah the Ecuadorean Habano hit miss on that my cigar I mean it cut perfect it's a flawless yeah well that's kind like perfect so your burn line I think I think I hold mine weird so I'm just up and who cares about you know there are so many people that say oh it holds a razor thin or razor straight edge but that's just it that's the great thing about you know the cigar community you know you have certain people who have certain things appeal to and to others it doesn't that's why it's nice to have a variety of different people doing reviews or talking about cigars because not everybody's gonna be for the for every person you know and it's nice to get different opinions or different thoughts there's some stuff that I was just reading about the other day that I'm like a ho like I would never thought to like incorporate that and like the cigar communities so you know there's just little things like that so let's talk about one cool thing though like with with what Graham got us that we're gonna do enough Oh son grams in the army yeah she just was home a little bit you know for Christmas time which was really nice when he was here we did a a snack cream review with him saying yeah and unboxing but he said does an MRE yes an MRE so like some kind of meat sausage maple something like this is my favorite yeah I eat mine cold I don't expect you to eat here is cold of blood and I'm like whatever so he wants me and Kevin yeah so we're having an MRE unpackaging an enveloping yeah yeah and then a package then we're gonna try to you know you know Marie so I don't think I'm doing it cold sorry Graham oh and then and then also uh like Jessica said a Steve sent us a five pack we don't want to hang on to these cigars I'm gonna I am hanging on to Jess's going to discuss that we do be awesome to give two cigars away so so whoever comments on this when I upload it will wait usually like three to four or two to three days and then will come and then we'll announce a a winner so we'll do a random number or a random a comment picker yeah so the it'll just be a win a two pack of cigars obviously shipping on us so to just be type of cigars that and I appreciate any time we get cigars sent to us but it's nice to be able to send them to other people too and say hey this is you know cool you get to experience kind of what we're exactly probably over the last several months we've had more makers reach out to us than ever before and we've had people say hey you know can we send you a couple of cigars for you and just go to try and I'll see I said you know what we've gotten to the point to where our reaches is very broad so we can no longer we don't want to do a review for two cigars anymore I tell people you gotta send us a five pack we got a review a cigar some of those cigars so far every manufacturer is like yeah yeah if you're just gonna give them away you know have at it you know so it's not like okay you gotta send us a box we're gonna keep a box of cigars and we're gonna smoke too and then that's it so we definitely want to know and the other thing it's like sometimes I say to Kevin I look at our box of we have the cigar box of reviews that we want to do and by no means did Steve say like I had to review this he just said hey let me send you in Kevin oh yeah to like check out but we I wanted to do a review on them especially when it goes to a good cause story you definitely get bumped up in the I mean I feel like we have so many and I get overwhelmed cuz I'm like I how do you prioritize what's important cuz everybody should be important but for me I'm all about giving back and Kevin knows that and so of course when this came but I was like final Caroline what we in our box I know we should be doing a couple from Chris Haskell I'm not hating on anybody I just this was something that was important to me so and I've been putting it off you know and just because it's been the holiday time and we're both in retail and it's crazy and we're in the middle of an edition in which it's almost over so you know but I really wanted to get to these and tonight was the night yes so before we break off you know and just smoke these up for me it's just a good just a cigar it's just a good cigar there's no outrageous notes of this this and this but on the flip side of that it's not bitter it's not sour it's not a hard draw this is just when you think of just a cigar like a cigar you sit down and smoke and it tastes like a cigar and yes shaped like a cigar yeah that's this it smells like a cigar like this is what you're thinking of you know just it's just a good clean cigar with good ass tobacco yep good ass tobaccy so it's alright so let's go ahead and smoke these up for a little bit then uh we'll see you all back here in a little while all right and we are back with the front line blue line cigars and once again don't forget just like any comment any comment and you're in down below to win a two pack of these cigars so I want to start off I said I went to our new addition I was filming a little edgy TV video I had about a six six or seven minute yeah I was away from the cigar while jess was out here smoking I came back down sat in my chair picked up my cigar grab grab my lighter and then I just like puffed on it and I'm like oh my god it was still lit yeah like I'm not sure the last time I was able to put a cigar down for like six or seven minutes that was like one of the things I said to him like I we can't do anything else I want to smoke my cigar and I don't want it to go out and mine didn't go out either he gave me a minute or two and then I said I was gone like said six seven minutes and and it was it was still lit yeah I know I love this cigar so much that I'm sad that it's almost guy said to him I'm like we need to wrap this up cuz I'm almost I'm almost smoked all my my cigar I'm for me it like amped up just a little bit in the nicotine level not so much you know any other kind of notes or flavors besides like just being really good tobacco so you're just a little bit of nicotine see for me the nicotine it really didn't add up my my spice level on my tongue amped up a little bit I mean just uh I mean just a skosh but then the nicotine I didn't um I didn't notice that much any you know anything more than what it started out as but um it was so good it's just a good cigar I mean it's and I hate saying because it sounds like I'm talking down it's not a it's not a special cigar like is like I don't know what else special I I know like oh you got to run out you get no chocolate close at pecans put all the other side for me for the way that my night actually for the way my month has been going this was a cigar that I think I just needed and you didn't even know I needed and you know of course that it's something near and dear to my heart for like what they're doing but if the cigar wasn't that great I'd probably say that just because I'm a very blunt person I guess what people come to expect of us yeah I can't get it you know it's really interesting because this conversation came up at work today about lying even as a kid I just didn't lie just was like yeah I did that you know I might not have outed myself like oh hey this is what I did like if somebody asked me I was like yeah I did that anyway to blunt some time your dad has told me you're like you sneak out of the house just like yeah what are you gonna do old man yeah just like all righty yeah I just never lied ya know and so um I like find it interesting like some people look at me and they like have this deer in headlights and I'm like oh yeah you're both like you came in from war today I nights spent like eight hours today you know on the addition getting all the trim up and I got everything Tainan I've lures back to home I'm sure that he spent it I did and it was beautiful you you it's breathtaking you walk in it's all clean and then she went clean and as she walks her she's like I know so many nail holes in the trim I go wait I worked all day and then he didn't work all day I started at 11:00 that's it all day and work man you okay we you were done by 3:00 that's why this Amin nail hole I expected some other stuff to be done but didn't happen cuz Kevin took off from work for this so it's not like I'm being an [ __ ] you took off work for this yeah so I know there's something nail holes a she's burnt and I expected other things to happen not from Kevin but from our contractor that did not and Kevin likes to we like to pay like not just Kevin cuz I'm paying too but we like to pay people for let us clean up for you hey we're paying you all this money but I really want to clean up your whole entire mess that's Kevin where I'm like are you kidding me well freaking paying then I they should be cleaning I can't I can't can't let because I said I but I worked in construction for years so I know that there's stages of cleanup I can't do it there's I'm just I'm just gonna clean up like he'll like he'll leave and then like he'll come back the next day and like everything is spotless like I said when he first came I remember I was sweeping and stuff and then I was like no [ __ ] we are paying good money for this now no so Kevin cannot help himself he took all the scraps to his work to his dumpster like he shouldn't be doing that but he's done it anyway so there's just some discrepancy from me and Kevin I'm like why is it like that and he's like it's no big deal it's no big deal really fill the holes and play not just holes there are other things that have gone wrong okay well go into which Kevin will never admit because Kevin is passive-aggressive he's like I'm just gonna pretend this didn't happen and then [ __ ] about it but not to the person who he should where I'm like what the hell is happening so like just for example our stucco there's a little ledge now where something happened and so they need to come out fix it so Kevin kind of like took a fuzzy picture and send it to our contractor well when our contractor was here I was like yo I was like do you see that and I wasn't being an [ __ ] but it was like I see it you see it so you know we see it so you need to fix it in a very calm way is is a jerk no no so that's the difference like you gotta point stuff out or they don't know yeah cuz then they think we're just okay with this specially when you clean up all are cool with me leaving a mess so anyway where there is nothing to nitpick about the cigar no like it was and for me this is that you know this isn't any time cigar time this is this is a morning for breakfast a brunch a lunch a dinner if you're happy if you're sad this is just a cigar that you can smoke you had a box of C or these find you and when your humidor like they don't know I want this is one of those long yeah but I would just honestly though like get your hands on some it's definitely going to I think wow you in the sense that you weren't expecting it especially that that little bit of that bitter or sourness that wasn't there honestly that shocked me I was preparing myself for it and and and when it wasn't there I was like yeah okay because you you know because I'm a fresh egg but for me I expect some boutique cigars to be and and I don't want you know I want to say this in a bad way no but I love in about in just a bundled cigar with somebody else's band on it and this is not a your your bundle cigar no somebody else's band oh wait I agree I think this is definitely not your average bundled cigar that you would expect like years ago okay the price point and you know it's a bundled cigars you know cigar someone thought about yes the blend that somebody thought about which honestly I mean just from kind of like what their foundation and like what they support and stuff they definitely think about it because their hearts are in this this is something that they feel passionate about and want to get back to exactly so you can't just phone it in on an owner on a blend because because no matter how good your charity is how good your story is scars not good nobody's gonna nobody's going to come back some people so they they obviously thought about and they wanted to make a really good cigar to keep people coming back to keep that money going going towards their foundation and so I just find that you know endearing in a way because like a lot of other companies yeah their hearts are good I get it they want to give back but I mean they actually put that next thought loved it into it it's like how they're giving back like what they're also giving to the people they're targeting you know and so I appreciate that yes so all right so this has been the blue line cigar from frontline cigar definitely check them out on they've got a great Instagram yeah definitely check them out check out their website I'll try and leave a link in the description below most of the time I do some time I do so yeah definitely check them out that's a good sign I say thank you Steve for reaching out and having a good conversation with me and sending us these cigars I really appreciate it and I'm hate that I waited so long to try them but you know I'm thankful that I did so all good things are worth I could always come to those who wait yeah so that I think that's the saying I don't I don't know I cannot pronounce it come on mano or have an arrow or come on up or whatever I'm supposed to say so alright cats and kittens I think that's all we got for today definitely check them out but make sure you give your cigars a props they deserve
