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.

New York is trying to pass the Assembly Bill 3907 (A 3907), which proposes to ban the sale of premium cigars in the state.
VIA The Cigar Rights Of America: "As it stands, A 3907 is drafted too broadly, unfairly categorizing premium cigars as flavored tobacco products despite their lack of artificial flavorings or enhancements. To protect freedom of choice and prevent harm to small businesses, A 3907 must be appropriately amended to define the properties of premium cigars and exempt them from the bill. If A 3907 isn't amended, the banning of premium cigars that will be the result of the bill will undermine consumer rights and devastate the livelihoods of local premium cigar retailers in New York, whose businesses rely on these products."
