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/

As a result, these premium cigars were exempt from FDA oversight, including testing requirements, fees, and restrictions on promotions and donations.
