The Burn Down Podcast brings people together over a cigar. No matter where you’re from, what you believe or how you look, cigars is what connects us! It’s designed to show the world the good that comes out of cigar conversations. Founded by Eric Josefson and Justin Heisig, The Burn Down is a podcast with conversations with people from all walks of life. From interviews with professional athletes like Ed Reed and John Starks, to singers and comedians like Ruben Studdard and Rocky Dale Davis, to mobsters and entrepreneurs like Billy Cutolo Jr. and Armando Montelongo, cigar makers like Robert Caldwell and Tony Gomez even military veterans like Ray “Cash” Care. Eric and Justin are passionate about cigars, but they’re also passionate about people. We created a podcast where guests can feel comfortable opening up and sharing their stories over a cigar. We’re here to inspire, uplift and to provide value. Check out our website: https://www.burndownpodcast.com/

This week we discuss the uncovering of how USAID is using our hard-earned tax dollars on projects/causes that seemingly offer no direct benefit to us or our nation. We’ll dive into why our funds appear to be spent recklessly without clear accountability, and why tracking these expenditures matters for everyone. This isn’t about political sides—it’s about ensuring that every dollar we earn is invested wisely. We all want transparency and know where your money is really going!

The dominance of super teams and lack of team loyalty has drained the league of unpredictability, and the camaraderie among players has overshadowed the fierce rivalries that once defined the sport. The focus has shifted to an analytics-driven style of play, where three-point shooting reigns supreme and defense has become a forgotten art. The intense matchups of the past, like Lakers vs. Celtics, have given way to a league that often feels more like a flashy offensive showcase than a battle of true competitive determination and grit.

In today’s episode, we discuss CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg’s move to end third-party fact-checking on Facebook and Instagram in the U.S. replacing it with a Community Notes model.
The change promises less censorship by loosening restrictions on mainstream topics while prioritizing enforcement on illegal or high-severity content. What will this mean for the cigar industry and cigar content creators that have been restricted and shadow banned!?

This week we got fellow Brooklyn boy Ray from Cigar Clowns! Cigar Clowns was born from a group of Brooklyn childhood friends united by their love for cigars and the art of smoking.
Inspired by iconic NYC humor and the legendary "Tilly" clown, the group began crafting their own cigars in 2018, starting with releases for friends and family.
By 2020, they expanded their team and passion, turning a shared love of the leaf into a brand that has since gained recognition for its dedication, bold flavors, and loyal following.
