    In Episode 19 of Burnt Offerings, the guys record inside the rolling room at JC Newman’s historic El Reloj cigar factory in Ybor City, Tampa, with hand rollers at work just feet away. Joined by Drew Newman himself, the conversation explores the 130-year legacy of JC Newman, the role cigars played in building Tampa, and the revival of craftsmanship in American cigar making.

  • Florida Sun Grown Farms Road Trip – Ybor City Blend 2006 Maduro

    Florida Sun Grown Farms Road Trip – Ybor City Blend 2006 Maduro
    Mar 4 2026
    Burnt Offerings goes on the road. In this special episode we record inside the curing barn at Florida Sun Grown Farms in Clermont, Florida — surrounded by air-curing tobacco hanging overhead. While visiting the Tampa area we cold-called the farm and somehow ended up sitting in the barn talking tobacco, cigar culture, and the history of Florida Sun Grown leaf. Because we didn’t plan quite as well as we should have, the cigar of the day isn’t an FSG blend but a local Tampa shop pickup: the Ybor City Blend 2006 Maduro by Tampa Bay Rollers. The result is a laid-back conversation about curing tobacco, the smell of a working barn, Tampa’s cigar heritage, and the surreal experience of recording an episode literally surrounded by the raw ingredient that makes the whole hobby possible.

  • Luciano The Dreamer Hermosa No. 4

    Luciano The Dreamer Hermosa No. 4
    Feb 18 2026
    We light up the Luciano The Dreamer Hermosa No. 4 — a 5x48 robusto featuring Nicaraguan and Peruvian filler, a Nicaraguan binder, and an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. The cold draw hits with an oddly perfect Nabisco/fig-newton sweetness before the first third turns savory (weirdly “first bite of grilled steak”) with a campfire/firecracker aroma that had us chasing the source. That rabbit trail turns into a whole conversation on Peruvian tobacco (“smoky incense,” florals, spice), the meaning of Fiat Lux (“let there be light”), and the middle-aged art of keeping old dreams alive — from tobacco plants in the backyard to RV darkrooms to learning to fly. Final scores land at 9.0, 8.5, and 8.5 — our highest average rating yet (8.67). Basement bargain pricing doesn’t hurt, either.
