    Building Our Dream Shop – E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Confidant (S1E5)
    Sep 10 2025
    We kick off the “dream shop” arc with the E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Confidant—talking cedar, earth, and pepper as the blend opens up—then sketch our perfect lounge: layout, humidor curation, members’ perks, and hospitality must-haves. Ryan tells his “Ghost”-moment-with-a-roller story, Jason misses another taping (with love), and we debate whether scarcity and store culture matter more than square footage.

    We light up Rocky Patel A.L.R. 2nd Edition and swap stories about the cigar lounges that shaped us—good, bad, and unforgettable. From design and ventilation to pricing philosophies, regulars’ culture, and that one owner who could have been the soup-nazi of cigars, this episode is a love letter (and a few cautionary tales) to the brick-and-mortar shops we call home.
