“Papal Smoke Signals, Space Packages, and Megalophobia Madness”

Episode Description:
In Episode 384 of The Cigar Hustlers Podcast, we unpack a wild week of global events and cigar industry buzz. The world mourns as Pope Francis passes away, and we break down what happens next inside the walls of the Vatican—including how the next Pope is chosen. Then, we dive into the shipping shake-up: DHL teams up with the Chinese postal service while suspending certain packages to the U.S., SpaceX starts looking a lot like Amazon in orbit, and U.S. ports are pushing back with proposed new docking fees for Chinese ships.

On the cigar front, C.L.E. launches Megalophobia in a bold move that has everyone talking, and Plasencia takes things to new heights with Alma del Cielo, a cigar crafted in high-altitude magic.
