Cigar Loons Podcast Blackened M81 Review & Cigar Myths / Reality

Get ready, Loons!

Join us live this Tuesday, 30th September, for another unmissable episode of the Cigar Loons Podcast! We're firing up the mics and our lighters for a show packed with flavour and facts.

On the agenda this week:

Featured Review: Drew Estate Blackened M81
We’re taking a deep dive into one of the most talked-about cigars in recent years. A collaboration of epic proportions between Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate, James Hetfield of Metallica, and Rob Dietrich of BLACKENED® American Whiskey, the Blackened M81 is a cigar with a serious pedigree. We'll break down its Mexican San Andrés wrapper, Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and Nicaraguan/Pennsylvanian filler blend. Does it live up to the hype? Tune in for our full tasting notes, construction analysis, and final verdict.

Cigar Myths vs. Reality: Fact or Fiction?
The cigar world is full of long-standing "rules" and old wives' tales. We're putting them to the test! Is a darker wrapper always stronger? Should you really wet the cap before cutting? Is plume just mould in fancy dress? We’re separating the facts from the fiction and debunking the most common cigar myths out there.

This is a live, interactive show, so we want to hear from you! Bring your questions, share your own experiences with the M81, and challenge us with your favourite cigar myths in the live chat.

So, grab a stick, pour a drink, and join the Loons this Tuesday, 30th September. It's going to be a smokin' good time!
